TOPIC

    I need to setup fonts, margins, watermarks, and print quality for the Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS printer. My Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS is connected to a Windows NT computer, and since the Apple LaserWriter Utility does not work on Windows NT, how do I change these things?


DISCUSSION

    For these particular options you do not need the Apple Printer Utility. They can be done on a per job basis from either Windows NT, the client sending the print job, or the application that is printing the job.

    If you need to use the Apple Printer Utility, you can use this utility from a Macintosh using AppleTalk, a Windows 95 or Windows 3.1x client connected via a NetWare server, or a Windows 3.1x client connected via LPT1.

    Font Sets

    From Windows NT:
      1. Open the Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS driver icon.
      2. Select Properties from the first menu.
      3. Select setup, font substitution.

    Also on a per job basis from a remote client, using the application, the customer may select Print Setup, Options and Fonts for full font control.

    Print Quality

    From Windows NT:
      1. Open the Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS driver icon.
      2. Select Properties from the first pull down menu.
      3. Select details, job defaults, options.

    Also, if you are printing from a remote client you have options from the Control Panel for Print Setup, and you may also have the same options built into the application you are printing from.

    Margins

    Setting margins is not usually an option in the driver, these are handled by the application you are printing from.

    Watermarks

    Watermarks are supported from the Windows NT spooler, but can be selected from the client once again from the application select Print Setup, Options and Watermarks.
