Setting Up the Printer Task 8: Set Up Your Software Task 8: Set Up Your Software This section gives a simple overview of the software-configuration tasks you need to perform and is designed for those users unfamiliar with this type of task. It also points to documents containing detailed, application-specific advice. More experienced users may prefer to go straight to those documents. For UNIX systems, see also the tips starting on page 1-37. Basic Terminology Application software Application software means the software from which you intend to send files to your printer - for example, a graphics package, a desktop publishing system, a CAD system, etc. Drivers Your application software needs to know to which type of printer it is sending information. This knowledge, and other configuration information, is held in a "driver." The driver is a piece of software that handles communications between your application software and your printer. To make sure that your printer prints exactly what you expect - in terms of size, position, orientation, color and quality - use the correct driver for the combination of your application software and your printer. 1-32
