printer control panel. Your application documentation explains how to control your printer settings: probably by choosing options from a printing menu.

Applications use printer drivers to send appropriate commands to the printer for requested tasks. If your application doesn’t have a QMS 4060 Print System driver, you can select a comparable PostScript driver, such as the QMS Level 2 Windows driver or a LaserWriter driver. However, comparable drivers may not allow you to access all of your printer's features, such as 600x600 dpi printing, duplexing, or collating.

Using QMS Document Option Commands

QMS Document Option Commands (DOCs) can enable job-specific features your application or page description language can’t access. See your QMS Crown Document Option Commands manual on the QMS Software Utilities CD-ROM for information on the DOC com- mands. See appendix C, “Document Option Commands,” of this manual for a list of DOCs this printer supports.

Using the Control Panel

Your printer is configured at the factory for most typical printing envi- ronments, so most users don’t have to use the control panel often. However, if you do need to change a printer setting for all print jobs (not just on a per-job basis), you can do so through the control panel. If you’re working in a shared printing environment, your system administrator should be the only person to make changes through the printer’s control panel.

Using a Remote Console

Many of the configuration choices that can be made at the control panel can also be made via a Remote Console session from CrownAdmin. You can run Remote Console via Telnet a TCP/IP envi-
