The new LaserWriter driver and Print dialog box are only available for
computers with PowerPC microprocessors. Computers with 68030 and 68040
microprocessors use an older version of printing software.

Color-matching software

Your computer uses ColorSync software to ensure that the colors in a
document remain consistent across a wide variety of color monitors,
scanners, and color printers. That way, the colors you see on your screen
more closely match the colors you see in your printed documents.

To reproduce colors accurately, your computer must know the type of monitor
you use to view documents. You use the ColorSync System Profile control
panel to indicate the monitor you’re using.

If the monitor shown in the control panel is incorrect, open the pop-up menu
and choose Set System Profile. Then choose the correct monitor from the list.
For help setting up your software to take advantage of ColorSync, see Mac OS
Guide, available in the Guide menu when the Finder is active.

QuickDraw GX

QuickDraw GX software provides simpler, more powerful printing and font
handling and improves your computer’s color publishing capabilities. You can
also create documents that other QuickDraw GX users can view and print,
even when they don’t have the application program or fonts used to create the
document. These documents are called PDDs, or Portable Digital Documents.
Additionally, QuickDraw GX is extensible, so you can use third-party
software to extend your printing capabilities even further.
