QMS PS 410, User Manual

Page: 85 / 288

Introduction
Now that you have installed your printer and it is functioning
correctly, you’re ready to design a more professional page.
PostScript allows your printer to place words and even graphics
any place on the page, in any size, from so small you can’t even see
it, to so large it is limited only by the paper size. You can place
letters at any angle, even rotate them. The possibilities are limitless.
If you have correctly installed a printer driver, you are ready to put
the QMS-PS printer to work. Create a file within your software
program and send it to the printer. The software takes over from
this point. You should be able to use the different typefaces that
come resident in the printer as long as they are contained in your
application’s printer driver. Review the software documentation to
determine support for your printer’s fonts.
If you cannot print your document in any of the fonts listed below,
the problem is probably with the software printer driver (if you have
a PC), or that the screen fonts are not installed (if you have a
Macintosh). Try to print a sample file from the PS Executive Series
Utilities program which came with your printer. If that sample
prints fonts that you can not print from within your software
program, contact your software manufacturer for an updated driver.
