■ PS Executive Series printer utilities
PS Exec is a utilities software package for controlling the
printer from the Macintosh. For example, through PS Exec
you can turn off the start-up page, install printer-resident
screen fonts, rename the printer, download fonts, manage
hard disks, and print font samples. Many of the procedures
described in this manual involve using PS Exec.
■ LaserWriter 8.x and the magicolor LX 4.1 PPD file
Although your Macintosh system software came with a
LaserWriter driver, we recommend you install
LaserWriter 8.x and the magicolor LX PPD (a printer
description file) so you can take advantage of special
printer features (like Q
COLOR automatic color control
technology, and media size and type selection).
■ Application-specific printer files
If you plan to print from Aldus PageMaker, Aldus
FreeHand, Aldus PrePrint, Adobe Separator, or
QuarkXPress, you’ll also want to install the latest printer
description file (PPD, PDX, or PDF) for your particular
software. (You can probably print without them, but you
may not be able to access all your printer’s features, and
you may get an error message telling you to change the
printer name.)
