nIf 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.

nIf 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.
