for the Macintosh

To use Q

for Macintosh applications, follow the instructions

in “Installing LaserWriter 8.x and the magicolor LX 4.1 PPD” in

In your application’s Print dialog box, choose Options.

2.

In the Options dialog box, in the Q

COLOR

Setup listbox, select

one of the following options:

Printer’s Default (to use the settings chosen at the printer
front panel)

Graphics (if you’re printing color graphics)

Photographic (if you’re printing photographic images)

Text and Spot Color (if you’re printing text or spot
colors)

Third-Party Color Management System (CMS) (to
allow your application to control color settings)

Overhead (if you’re printing overhead transparencies)

You can select any of the Q

COLOR

color setup options for

transparency printing if you select Transparency from the
Media listbox without changing any other options.

NOTE: The media tray you’re using must be configured for the

media type it contains. This can be done through the printer front

“Print Media and Daily Operations,” for more information on
media.
