If you use Aldus PrePrint, install the version 3.0 PPD and
PDX files in the PPDs folder in the Aldus folder in the System
Folder.
» Note: Version 3 PPDs are not installed automatically through
the PS Exec Easy Install procedure. You must use the
Custom Install procedure. Refer to the PS Exec installation
instructions at the very beginning of this section.

If you use QuarkXPress, install the QMS 1660 and 1660E
PDFs in the PDF folder in the QuarkXPress folder. While
QuarkXPress 3.3 allows you to access either a PDF or a
PPD, to have access to all of your printer’s features, you
should use the PDF. To select the PDF, go to the Page Setup
dialog box in QuarkXPress, and hold down the Shift key while
clicking the Printer Type list box. (The italicized selections are
PPDs, and the non-italicized selections are PDFs.)
» Note: The 1660E PDF allows you to choose between basic
and enhanced (advanced) halftoning (or screening) in
QuarkXPress. If this PDF is not present, you won’t be able to
used enhanced halftoning even though the printer supports it.
See “A Special Note for QuarkXPress Users” in chapter 5,
“Additional Technical Reference,” in the Reference, for more
information on halftones.
Testing Macintosh Communication
You can check communication between the printer selected in the
Chooser and the Macintosh by sending a file to the printer from an

1 Display a disk or folder window.
2 Set up page information.
Choose Page Setup from the File menu. Select paper size, print-
ing orientation, and any other necessary options. Then select OK.
