Setup and Use of Windows 3.x PostScript® Driver

When creating PostScript files from Windows 3.1 applications, we recommend that you select the QMS ColorScript 100 as the printer. Check to be sure you are using the latest version of PSCRIPT.DRV (3.58 or later). To find the version number, select SETUP then ABOUT. You will see the version in the ABOUT window.

QMS Colorscript 100 Installation:

In Control Panel, Printers Install and select the QMS Colorscript 100 printer. You may find that you have several models, if so, use the model 10.
With the QMS selected, click on the CONNECT button and select FILE from the menu then click OK
Now click SETUP

Select the QMS Printer and PRINT your IMAGES to FILE. When asked for the filename, enter drive:\path\filename.PS.

This completes the QMS Colorscript 100 Setup. If you find you do not have the latest version of the PostScript driver, obtain the latest version and copy PSCRIPT.DRV and PSCRIPT.HLP into your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ subdirectory which will overwrite the older version. You MUST restart Windows before the change will take effect.
