PS Executive Series Printer Utility Software
PS Exec, included on the DOS disks we shipped with your printer,
is a utility for controlling the printer from the computer. For
example, through PS Exec you can turn off the start-up page,
rename the printer, download fonts, manage hard disks, print font
samples, or print a file containing four-color simulations of
Pantone-identified colors and the percentage of the process colors
used to create them. Many of the procedures described in this
manual involve using PS Exec. The README file on the PS
Executive disk explains how to install the program, and the on-line
help explains how to use it.
Installing a Color PostScript Printer Driver
If you’re using Windows, we recommend that you install the
QMS-developed Windows driver. See “Installing the Windows 3.1
Driver,” below.
If you’re using a non-Windows application, read the printing
section of the application documentation for information on
choosing a color PostScript driver. If the application does not
provide a color PostScript driver, contact the application
manufacturer to see if one has become available since you bought
the program. Also, color PostScript drivers for some applications
are available through the QMS Corporate Bulletin Board System
and through CompuServe; see appendix A, “QMS Customer
Support,” for information.
Also, check to see if application notes (tips for printing from
specific applications) are available for your application from
