Applications use printer drivers to send the appropriate commands
automatically to the printer for the requested tasks. If your application
doesn’t have a QMS 1660 Print System driver, you can select a com-
parable PostScript driver, such as another QMS driver or a Laser-
Writer driver. However, comparable drivers may not allow you to
access all of your printer's features, such as 1200x600 dpi printing or
collating.
You can also use the PS Executive Series Utilities (shipped with your
printer) to control the printer from your host. See the README file on
the utilities disk for information on installing the utilities, and see the
utilities on-line documentation for details on using the software.
Your printer provides a powerful feature that can accommodate your
specific print job requirement (and the requirements of any other user
on the network) without affecting the printer configuration for other
print jobs. This feature is the set of QMS Document Option Com-
mands (DOC).
With DOC, you can add commands to the beginning of your files that,
when interpreted by the printer, turn on specific file processing or doc-
ument handling features. For example, you can use DOC to specify
an emulation, select a specific inputbin or media size, choose page
orientation, and more. The features you select and the DOC you use
take effect only for the curent print job. After your job prints, the DOC
added to the beginning of the next file take effect. If no DOC appears
on the next file, the printer’s default values resume. Appendix C in
this manual lists all DOC your printer supports. For more information,
refer to the
QMS Crown Document Option Commands
manual, avail-
able from your QMS vendor.
