QMS magicolor CX Reference Guide1-2

Configuration Methods

You can configure the printer in the following ways:

Through an application or a driver

Through the printer control panel

Through PS Executive Series Utilities

Through printer commands

Through a remote console (for network users)

Using an Application or Driver

The best way to control the printer is through your application and a

printer driver. See chapter 1, “Connecting the Printer,” in the user’s

guide, and your application documentation for information on choos-

ing, installing, and using a printer driver. You should also read the

Printing section of your application documentation.

Using the Control Panel

The printer’s control panel has two functions: (1) it allows you to

change the printer’s default settings through the configuration menu

and (2) it displays the current status of the printer. The configuration

menu is set at the factory for most typical printing environments, so

most users don’t have to use the control panel often. Typically, you or

the system administrator might make a few one-time changes,

depending on your printing environment. If you do make changes in

the control panel, it’s important to realize that anycommands given by

your application or printer driver will override the control panel set-

tings.

This chapter describes the options available through the control panel

and how to use it. Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting,” of the user’s guide

lists the status messages displayed in the control panel.

Using PS Executive Series Utilities

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
