Preparing for PostScript Printing
This chapter assumes a PostScript language SIMM is installed in your
printer (see Appendix D, “Printer Memory.”). Your PostScript language
SIMM contains genuine PostScript Level 2 software from Adobe. It is
backward-compatible with earlier versions of PostScript software.
Additional requirements for PostScript printing:
• A PostScript printer driver.
• Sufficient printer memory (printing 600-dpi and duplex printing
requires more memory in PostScript than in PCL).
Using PostScript Printer Drivers
PostScript Printer Drivers for MS Windows
To make full use of the printer features in MS Windows, you must use
the PostScript printer driver that came with the printer or your
PostScript SIMM. For the latest driver installation and setup
instructions (as well as an additional explanation of PostScript driver
features), see the “readme” file on the PostScript disk.
PostScript Printer Drivers for DOS/UNIX Applications
For DOS/UNIX applications, you must select a PostScript language
printer driver from within your software application. If your software
does not offer a PostScript language printer driver selection, it may not
support PostScript printing. For more information on DOS/UNIX
PostScript printer driver installation and selection, see your software
documentation or contact your software vendor.
