Other operational problems

1Is this printer compatible with PostScript?

The DP-5000 printer uses QuickDraw. It is not compatible with PostScript.

2EPS files cannot be output clearly.

Since EPS files are data files for PostScript print- ers, images at 72 dpi may be output from Quick- Draw depending on the application.

3Are enlargements and reductions possible?

Set either the enlargement or the reduction rate in the Reduce or Enlarge setting in the Page Setup

English

dialogue box. This value may be specified between 25 and 400.

4The preview doesn’t change even though I change the reduction or enlargement in the Page Setup dialogue box.

The preview will not change size with different reduction or enlargement settings. Check the size after printing to see that the changes took effect.

5How do I uninstall the printer driver?

Remove the DP-5000 printer driver from the

Extensions folder in the System Folder, and remove the DP-5000 Preferences file from the Preferences folder. If you have installed the Queue Kit software, and you are not going to use it with other applications, remove the Queue Monitor and Queue Watcher files from the

Extensions folder. Restart your computer.

6Can this printer be connected to Windows and Macintosh computers simultaneously?

No, the parallel port and the SCSI port cannot be used at the same time. Connect a Macintosh com- puter to the printer using the Macintosh interface module, and connect a Windows computer with- out the module.
