About printer drivers and printer description files The E100 receives files from computers on the network, processes (RIPs) the files, and then sends them to the copier. Windows and Mac OS computers communicate with the E100 by means of a printer driver and a PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file. A PPD file contains information about the features and capabilities of a particular device (for example, what paper sizes and media types are supported). The PPD file for the E100 includes information about the features of both the copier and the E100. A printer driver manages printing communication between your application and the printer. It interprets the instructions generated by the application, merges those instructions with printer-specific options you set, and then translates all information into Adobe PostScript, a language the printer understands. In other words, the printer driver writes a PostScript file based on your original file and the options you set from the Print dialog box. For information about the specific print options for the E100, see the tables that begin on page 70.

print options, and where to set print options.

About printer drivers and printer description files

The E100 receives files from computers on the network, processes (RIPs) the files, and then

sends them to the copier. Windows and Mac OS computers communicate with the E100 by

means of a printer driver and a PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file. A PPD file contains

information about the features and capabilities of a particular device (for example, what paper

sizes and media types are supported). The PPD file for the E100 includes information about

the features of both the copier and the E100.

A printer driver manages printing communication between your application and the printer.

It interprets the instructions generated by the application, merges those instructions with

printer-specific options you set, and then translates all information into Adobe PostScript,

a language the printer understands. In other words, the printer driver writes a PostScript file

based on your original file and the options you set from the Print dialog box.

For information about the specific print options for the E100, see the tables that begin on

page 70
