IBM 19 - Manual (Page 97)

If you use Adobe Photoshop, for best output quality use the
QMS-supplied Windows driver. Then, so that choices in the QMS
driver take effect, go to PhotoShop’s Page Setup dialog box, and
select Use Printer’s Default Screen under the Screens option.
Testing Parallel Communication
1. Go to the DOS C:\ prompt.
2. Create a short PostScript test file called PRINTEST.PS by
typing the following commands:
copy con printest.ps
↵
showpage
↵
^D^Z
↵
To type ^D and ^Z , press and hold down the Ctrl key while
you type the letters d and z. These are end-of-file characters.
You must type showpage, which is a PostScript command
telling the printer to eject a page, in lowercase letters. The
↵
symbol means press the Enter key, as it does throughout our
documentation.
3. At the DOS C:\ prompt, send PRINTEST.PS to the printer by
typing the following command:
print printest.ps
↵
If prompted for the name of the list device, type the name of
the parallel port the printer is connected to, for example,
lpt1
↵
NOTE: If the computer has more than one parallel port, they’re
probably labeled. I f not, chec k the computer
documentation for the LPT port names.
