1-13 Printer Drivers and Print Options
Your iR C2100/2100S user software includes Adobe PostScript printer
drivers for Windows 95/98, Windows NT 4.0, and Mac OS computers or
Microsoft PostScript printer driver for Windows 2000. These are the
recommended printer drivers for printing to the iR C2100/2100S. (See
Getting Started for information on installing printer drivers.)
NOTE: For information on setting the color print options in the
Windows 2000 printer driver, see the Printing Guide.
It is recommended that you set the print options initially in iR C2100/2100S
Setup (see the Configuration Guide). This provides you with a default
configuration that is appropriate for most iR C2100/2100S print jobs.
PostScript printer driver for Windows 95/98,
Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000
The printer driver options described in this section can be accessed by
clicking Start\Settings\Printers, right-clicking the appropriate PPD name,
and selecting Properties (Windows 95/98), Document Defaults
(Windows NT), or Printing Preferences (Windows 2000) from the pop-up
menu. These settings are also accessible from the Print Setup or Page Setup
dialog boxes of most applications.
For Window 95/98, the iR C2100/2100S driver interface enables you to save
combinations of settings that you can later access. Additionally, you can
choose different settings for individual jobs from the applications you use.
The printer driver writes a PostScript file containing the instructions
generated by your application and the iR C2100/2100S print options you
selected. The printer driver sends the PostScript file to the iR C2100/2100S.
The iR C2100/2100S then performs PostScript processing and color
conversions and sends raster color data to the print device.
NOTE: The following illustrations and instructions do not apply to all
applications. Many applications, such as PageMaker, Photoshop, Illustrator,
QuarkXPress, and CorelDRAW, have other color management options in
addition to those presented in the printer driver. For information on specific
applications, see Chapters 6 through 9.
