________________________________________ PPD Settings 6-3
Introduction
This chapter describes the options that can be selected through your
printer’s PPD (PostScript Printer Description) file.
About the PPD
The PPD allows you to select the settings for some printer features
from your application’s Print dialog box. These settings override the
printer’s front panel menu settings (see chapter 5, “Configuration”)
For these options to be available, the Adobe PostScript printer driver
and your printer’s PPD must be installed and configured properly.
See chapter 3 (Macintosh) or chapter 4 (PC).
Selecting PPD Options
In most applications, printer specific options in the PPD are accessed
through the Device Options tab in Windows 95, the Features tab in
Windows 3.1, and through the Printer Specific Options menu on a
Macintosh.
See appendix B, “Application Notes and Page Design,” for
information about specific applications
