When connecting the Color Sign Printer to your
computer, it is very important to always use a high-
quality interface cable suitable for the Color Sign
PrinterÕs high-speed rate of data transmission. A
suitable interface cable should be shielded and should be
no longer than 6 feet in length.
The Color Sign Printer can be used with virtually
any Macintosh software application program.
Before printing, however, you must tell the
application that youÕre using the Color Sign
Printer. This is accomplished the first time you use
the printer by installing what is called a Òprinter
driver.Ó The printer driver is simply software
which gives the Color Sign Printer the proper
commands it needs in order to print.
The printer driver included with your Color Sign
Printer is a Macintosh Color QuickDraw printer
driver. The QuickDraw printer driver is a non-
PostScript driver and is used for printing non-
PostScript file formats such as a TIFF, JPEG, or
PICT from non-PostScript applications.
As an option, the Color Sign Printer also has true
Adobe PostScript Level 2 software available. This
optional software provides genuine PostScript
support and is used only when printing PostScript
files from a PostScript application. This software is
not included with the Color Sign Printer and is
only necessary if you intend to print PostScript
files.
For full instructions on installing and using the
Color Sign PrinterÕs QuickDraw printer driver,
refer to the remainder of this section. If you
purchased the Adobe PostScript Level 2 software,
refer to the UserÕs Manual included with that
software for complete instructions. Please note that
