QMS PS 410, User Manual

Page: 27 / 288

Introduction
This chapter explains how your printer is given instructions by your
software application program, basic printer operation with various
kinds of paper and print media, loading paper and envelopes, and
the paper delivery system of the printer. It also addresses manual
feed and tray switching.
Before using this chapter, you should already have installed your
QMS-PS 410 printer and the QMS PS Executive Series Utilities
and have your printer communicating with the host. See the
QMS-PS 410 Getting Started Guide and the PS Executive Series
Utilities manual for these instructions.
How Software Drives Your Printer
Before your printer can communicate fully with your software
application package, you must have the proper printer driver
defined in the application program. If you are accustomed to using
a PostScript printer, it is not necessary to re-install a driver.
However, if you have installed the optional tray in your printer but
have not been using a dual-bin PostScript printer driver, you may
want to re-install or obtain a dual-bin PostScript driver from your
software application program manufacturer. It may also be
necessary to obtain a new driver to be able to access the multiple
fonts that are resident in the QMS-PS 410 printer.
We recommend using a QMS-PS driver if available. However, if
one is not listed, any PostScript driver works, for example, an Apple
LaserWriter driver. Some PostScript printer drivers which work
with the QMS-PS 410 printer are
