QMSPRINT FILES FOR MICROSOFT WORD.

PRD support for:
                QMS 860 Print System
                QMS 1725 Print System
                QMS-PS1700 Printer
                QMS-PS2000 Printer
                QMS-PS3200 Printer


This driver was created on Microsoft Word 5.5. According to Microsoft the
driver can be used with Microsoft Word 5.x to 6.x.
                                                  
This driver includes QMS DOC commands in front of the Postscript print file
that forces the emulation into the Postscript mode. This is a major improvement
to the functionality of the QMS printers in the Microsoft Word environment as
the printer can be used reliably in the ESP mode.

Printer functionality is selectable from the PRINT dialog box, or from the
PRINTER SETUP dialog box. This includes the duplex option. There is an option
in the setup to change the resolution, but this DOES NOT send the appropriate
codes to the printer to have it change from 300dpi to 600dpi. This selection
only changes to graphics capability of the application. The driver will also 
support multiple bin selection options from the PRINT dialog box. Note: The
QMS860, QMS-PS2000 and QMS-PS3200 driver was implemented as if the printer
had a full complement of paper trays, your printer may not have all optional
trays available.

The following Fonts are supported by this version of the .PRD file. Additional
Fonts can be added to the file if the user has the Adobe AFM files.

Please use the QMS.ini file along with this QMSPRINT.PRD file for the most
reliable operation of your QMS printer.

This is the first iteration in the development of these drivers. I welcome
any suggestions of improvement or identification of malfunction.
