Application Software and Your Printer

Most people use a software application package to print. The term

“software application package” refers to a word processing

program, a programming language, or a special application package

that handles graphics and prints documents, spreadsheets, and/or

forms.

The way your software application package works with your printer

is one of the most important aspects of learning how to fully use

your printer. Many “printer” problems are in fact related to how

your software application package and your printer interact. The

QMS-PS 410 printer is unique because it has ESP; it can read most

files and determine the printer language if that language is

supported by the printer. Once you establish communication with

your printer and are in the default ESP mode, you are able to print

files from most popular software application packages like

WordPerfect, Lotus 1-2-3, Ventura Publisher, Adobe Illustrator, or

Microsoft Word. These application programs may use a printer

driver for a PostScript printer or the HP LaserJet series II printer.

And, you don’t have to do anything to the files, the printer, or the

application program.

Software applications set the page orientation, margin widths, the

number of text lines-per-inch, number of copies, and other printer

features. Most software applications use one or both of the

following ways to control these features:
