program, a programming language, or a special application package
that handles graphics and prints documents, spreadsheets, and/or
forms.
The way your software application package works with your printer
is one of the most important aspects of learning how to fully use
your printer. Many “printer” problems are in fact related to how
your software application package and your printer interact. The
QMS-PS 410 printer is unique because it has ESP; it can read most
files and determine the printer language if that language is
supported by the printer. Once you establish communication with
your printer and are in the default ESP mode, you are able to print
files from most popular software application packages like
WordPerfect, Lotus 1-2-3, Ventura Publisher, Adobe Illustrator, or
Microsoft Word. These application programs may use a printer
driver for a PostScript printer or the HP LaserJet series II printer.
