Methods ofConfiguration4-3Printer Configurationcontrol your printer settings: probably by choosing options from aprinting menu.Applications use printer drivers to send appropriate commands to theprinter for requested tasks. If your application doesn’t have a QMS1725 Print System driver, you can select a comparable PostScriptdriver, such as another QMS driver or a LaserWriter driver. However,comparable drivers may not allow you to access all of your printer'sfeatures, such as 600x600 dpi printing, duplexing, or collating.Using PS Executive Series UtilitiesYou can also use the PS Executive Series Utilities (shipped with yourprinter) to control the printer from your host. See the README file onthe utilities disk for information on installing the utilities, and see theutilities on-line help for details on using the software.Using Printer CommandsPrinter commands (such as PostScript operators, QMS DocumentOption Commands [DOCs], and HP PCL and HP-GL commands) canenable job-specific features your application or page description lan-guage can’t access. See theQMS Crown Technical Reference man-ual (shipped on disk with your printer) as well as theQMS CrownDocument Option Commands manual, and theHP PCL5 EmulationTechnical Reference (both available for purchase from your QMSvendor), for information on these commands. See appendix C, “Docu-ment Option Commands,” of this manual for a list of DOCs this printersupports.Using the Control PanelYour printer is configured at the factory for most typical printing envi-ronments, so most users don’t have to use the control panel often.However, if you do need to change a printer setting for all print jobs(not just on a per-job basis), you can do so through the control panel.If you’re working in a shared printing environment, your systemadministrator should be the only person to make changes through theprinter’s control panel.
