QMS ColorScript 100 Model 20 Printer
The QMS ColorScript 100 Model 20 printer can print color PostScript files and HPGL
(Hewlett–Packard Graphics Language) files. The HPGL emulator is shipped on a DOS
diskette with the printer. ASCII files can also be printed using the PostScript data stream.
To print PostScript files, do not enter a print queue name for the HPGL data stream when
making the print queue. To print HPGL files, do the following:
1. Enter a print queue name for the HPGL data stream when making the print queue.
2. Insert the 3–1/2 inch diskette labeled HPGL Emulator in the diskette drive.
3. Make sure you are the root user.
4. Enter the following to copy the HPGL emulator files from the DOS diskette to the
appropriate directory:
/usr/lib/lpd/pio/etc/pioqms100 –Q
When HPGL print files are submitted to the HPGL print queue, the system downloads the
HPGL emulator to the printer and selects the emulator as needed.
PostScript files can also be submitted to the HPGL print queue. The files must begin with
the two–character string %! so the system can recognize them as PostScript instead of
HPGL files.
Texas Instruments OmniLaser 2115 Page Printer
Automatic selection of the printer data stream (PostScript, HP LaserJet+, Diablo 630, TI
855, Plotter) is not supported. The data stream must be selected manually, using the control
panel.
You can also print ASCII files using the PostScript data stream.
Only DP mode is supported for the TI 855 software interface. WP mode is not supported.
Each time the printer controller is turned on, enter the following:
splp –F! lpx
where lpx is the printer device name, such as lp0. This tells the system that the HPGL
emulator needs to be downloaded to the printer again.
When you reboot the system, turn the printer off and on to reinitialize it.
