Printer Features M WARNING! Warnings indicate the possibility of personal injury if a specific procedure is not performed exactly as described in the manual. ACHTUNG! Bitte halten Sie sich exakt an die im Handbuch beschriebene Vorgenhensweise, da sonst Verletzungsgefahr bestehen könnte. Printer Features This brief overview will acquaint you with your printer’s major features and how they can benefit you.
Printer Features Multiple Resolutions Two printer resolutions are available: 300x300 and 600x600 dots per inch. » Note: With the standard 8 MB of RAM on the QMS 1060 printer 300x300 dpi is available for all media sizes and 600x600 dpi is available for all media sizes except legal which requires additional memory.
Printer Features Lineprinter Emulation The Lineprinter emulation prints simple, unformatted text files at 300x300 and 600x600 dpi. » Note: Using 600x600 dpi resolution with the legal media size requires additional memory. PostScript Level 2 Emulation and Level l Compatibility The QMS 1060 Print System’s Level 2 emulation allows you to take full advantage of your printer’s high print resolution.
Printer Features Multitasking and Compile-Ahead Technology Your printer receives, compiles, processes, and prints multiple documents at the same time—true multitasking. The printer has a variety of resources that it uses to print the page. Memory, emulations, and the laser printer engine (the mechanical parts that actually put toner on the page) are all resources of the printer. Compile-ahead technology is the temporary storage of page images in a proprietary compressed data format.
Printer Features Emulation Sensing Processor (ESP) Technology Most printers can recognize only their native command language. However, ESP technology, which works with most popular commercially available applications, uses a form of artificial intelligence to analyze incoming file data and select the appropriate printer emulation from those installed on the printer, and processes the print job.
Printer Features Automatic Jam Recovery Crown technology also provides automatic jam recovery, if enabled. With most printers, if a media jam occurs, you must remove the jammed media and then reprint the job. If a media jam occurs on a Crown printer, however, the printer reprints the jammed page as soon as you remove the jammed media and then continues with the print job. This is possible because compressed data formats allow more pages to be stored in memory.
Printer Features Remote Console The 1060 Print System printer allows you to establish a remote console connection via TCP/IP Telnet, and you can additionally use NetWare, EtherTalk, and LAN Manager/LAN Server to establish this connection, if you have the optional CrownNet interface installed. Printer status conditions that require user intervention display on the remote console. For example, status messages may indicate that paper is low, output bin is full, or a paper jam has occurred.
Printer Features User Benefit—Your printer’s memory can be upgraded as your needs grow. Additional RAM provides room for font downloading and font caching, and it increases the printer’s buffer (the area where data sent from the host computer is stored), allowing you to send large data-intensive files to the printer without tying up the host for long periods. Additional RAM also allows you to attach and use multiple SCSI drives.
Printer Features n n Kanji fonts Ryumin Light-KL and Gothic BBB Medium licensed to QMS by Morisawa and Company, Ltd. and the fonts Mincho Medium, Mincho Heavy, Gothic Bold, and Gothic Heavy licensed to QMS by TypeBank are on a pre-formatted IDE hard disk. These fonts are available with the Kanji Option Kit and they can be printed at a variety of point sizes and in different styles and resolutions.
What's Next? Optional I/O Slot Your 1060 Print System has dual I/O slots to support two network interfaces, or one hard disk and one network interface. n Network Interfaces Using CrownNet NICs (network interface cards), the QMS 1060 Print System can be attached to Ethernet or Token-Ring networks running multiple protocols. Contact your QMS vendor for a list of available protocols. n User Benefit—Network interfaces provide flexibility and fast data transfer in complex network environments.

Noisegenerating equipment should not be connected to the same electrical outlet as the printer. The recommended frequency is 47-63 Hz for 120 V system and 47-50 Hz for 220/240 V system. ▲ Caution: The supplied power cord is equipped with a 3-wire grounding plug for safety purposes.
Registering the Printer n n n n n » Software —PS Executive Series Utilities software (on disk) Documentation binder Toner cartridge Power cord Warranty and registration card Note: Interface cables aren’t included in the shipment. If you need cables, contact your QMS vendor or a local computer store. Chapters 3, “Connecting to a Macintosh,” and 4, “Connecting to a PC,” of this manual specify the type of cable you need. Make sure that all items are included in your shipment before setting up your printer.
Unpacking the Printer Use the following procedure to unpack the printer. To ensure that your printer was not damaged during shipment, follow the entire procedure, including printing the start-up page. » Note: You may want to save the packing materials in case you ever have to move or ship the printer to a new location. ▲ Caution: You may damage the printer if you turn it on before all of the packing materials are removed. M WARNING! The printer weighs about 38 lbs (17.25 kg). Don’t lift it by yourself.
Unpacking the Printer 4 Remove the packing materials and tape from inside the standard feeder and place it in the location where the printer is to reside. 5 Slide the cassette out of feeder. 6 Remove the packing materials and tape from inside the cassette and slide it in the feeder as far as possible.
Unpacking the Printer M 7 Slide the paper stopper on the tray cover. 8 Stack the printer on top of the feeder. WARNING! The printer is heavy, so two people should lift it. ACHTUNG! Der Drucker ist schwer und solte von 2 Personen getragen werden.
Installing Consumables Installing Consumables You must install the toner cartridge, load and install the cassette, connect the power cord, and print the start-up page before you can install any options. Installing the Toner Cartridge In your laser printer, characters and images are created through a process that applies toner (made of carbon particles) to the page in the printer’s fusing unit. When an image is formed, heat and pressure are applied to transfer the image to the page.
Installing Consumables breaks, grasp the clear part of the tape seal and pull it straight out. Discard both the green tab and the tape seal. Tape Seal 3 Distribute the toner in the cartridge. Holding the cartridge with both hands, gently rock it from side-toside five or six times to distribute the toner.
Installing Consumables 4 Open the printer’s top cover. 5 Slide the toner cartridge into the printer. Hold the grooved area on the toner cartridge with your right hand, with the arrow on the toner cartridge facing away from you angle the cartridge down in the printer. Place the cartridge on the rails inside the upper unit of the printer, and gently slide it straight down until it is firmly seated. 6 Close the printer’s top cover.
Installing Consumables Loading the 500-Sheet Cassette The QMS 1060 Print System comes standard with one 500-sheet letter/A4 cassette. The printer automatically pulls media from the cassette. Load media in the cassette as follows: » Note: You should ensure that the media size matches the cassette size; otherwise, the printed image will not be correctly placed on the page.
Installing Consumables 2 Grip each end of the stack firmly. Grip 3 Straighten the stack, and then roll the fanned sheets from side to side to get air through the sheets and prevent static buildup.
Installing Consumables The top and bottom sheets sometimes have residual glue buildup that could cause the printer to jam. Remove Top Sheet Remove Bottom Sheet 5 Position the cassette. The cassette has a spring in the bottom that provides some resistance when print media is placed on it. Lay the cassette flat on a hard surface and using your left hand push down on the plate in the cassette until it locks.
Installing Consumables 6 Load media in the 500-sheet cassette in increments so that the 500 sheets fit in the cassette and the media stack is properly leveled out. Load the media so the front end of the stack comes against the front of the cassette in three steps as follows: a Up to the bottom limit mark b Halfway to the top limit mark c Up to the top limit mark.
Installing Consumables Push the cassette straight into the cassette slot on the feeder until it’s firmly seated. Cassette 9 Adjust the media stop to fit the media size. The printer delivers your output, print-side down, to the output tray on the top of the printer. The media stop keeps the sheets positioned in the output tray.
Connecting the Power Cord Connecting the Power Cord Connect the power cord as follows: ▲ Caution: Make sure that the printer power switch is turned off (the O is pressed down). 1 Plug the female end of the power cord in the connector on the rear lower right of the printer. 2 Plug the opposite end of the power cord in a grounded AC outlet. 3 Turn on the printer (press down the | side of the switch). After a brief warm-up (less than 2 minutes) the printer produces a start-up page.
Printing a Start-up Page Printing a Start-up Page When you turn on the printer, a start-up page prints. This page gives you an overview of your QMS 1060 Print System.
Printing a Start-up Page If a start-up page does not print, see chapter 6, “Troubleshooting,” of the Operation guide for more information on printing a start-up page. M WARNING! Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord before checking for correct printer installation. ACHTUNG!

3 Connecting to a Macintosh In This Chapter . . .
Introduction Introduction This chapter explains what an interface is, describes how to connect your printer to a Macintosh (or another computer on a network that uses LocalTalk-type connectors and boxes). Using an Optional Network Interfaces In addition to the three standard interfaces—LocalTalk, parallel (bidirectional), and serial—the QMS 1060 Print System has the option of using two optional interfaces to connect your printer to an Ethernet or Token-Ring network.
Using the LocalTalk Interface The LocalTalk port is used to print if n n Your host is any member of the Apple Macintosh family. The instructions in this chapter explain how to connect a Macintosh (via either a direct connection or through a LocalTalk network connection) to the QMS 1060 Print System. Your host is an IBM PC or compatible microcomputer, workstation, minicomputer, or mainframe computer that connects through a print network (such as AppleShare) using LocalTalk-type connectors and boxes.
Using the LocalTalk Interface n n n Two PhoneNET-type transformer boxes: one with a DIN-8 connector for the printer port and one with a DIN-8 connector for the Macintosh port An RJ11 (telephone) cable Two terminating resistors to close the open sockets left in the transformer boxes after the connection is made If you’re replacing a printer already connected to a Macintosh, you probably already have this equipment.
Using the LocalTalk Interface Making the Connection Use the following procedure to connect your printer to the Macintosh. ▲ Caution: Turn off both the printer and the Macintosh before making the connection. 1 Plug the connector from one transformer box into the printer’s LocalTalk port. 2 Plug the connector from the other transformer box into the Macintosh printer port. 3 Connect the two transformer boxes with the telephone cable.
Using the LocalTalk Interface Installing PS Executive Series Printer Utilities The PS Executive Series Utilities (or PS Exec), included on the Macintosh-format disks we shipped with your printer, is a utilities program for controlling the printer from the Macintosh. For example, through PS Exec you can turn off the start-up page, rename the printer, install printer-resident screen fonts, download fonts, print font samples, and manage hard disks.
Using the LocalTalk Interface The installation takes approximately one minute. The Installer places the LaserWriter 8.x driver in the Extensions folder inside the System Folder and all of the other options inside a newly created PSExec 3.x ƒ folder in the hard disk window. Also inside this folder is the Installer log file, which you can view to verify the installation. Note: All Macintosh users on a network must use the same version of the LaserWriter and Laser Prep files to run correctly.
Using the LocalTalk Interface » Note: If you have problems printing with LaserWriter 8.x, reinstall the LaserWriter 7.x driver that came with your Macintosh (if available), or call the QMS Customer Response Center (CRC). See appendix A, “QMS Customer Support,” for a list of telephone numbers. 1 If you haven't already, follow the instructions given above in “Installing PS Executive Series Printer Utilities.
Using the LocalTalk Interface Installing Application-Specific Printer Files If you plan to print from Aldus PageMaker, Aldus FreeHand, Aldus PrePrint, Adobe Separator, or QuarkXPress, you’ll also want to install the latest printer description file (PPD, PDX, or PDF) for your particular software. You can probably print without this file, but you may not be able to access all of your printer’s features, and you may get an error message telling you to change the printer name.
Using the LocalTalk Interface n » n » n » 3-10 If you use Aldus FreeHand 3.x, install the version 3.0 PPD and PDX files in the PPDs folder in the Aldus folder in the System Folder. Note: Version 3 PPDs are not installed automatically through the PS Exec Easy Install procedure. You must use the Custom Install procedure. Refer to the PS Exec installation instructions at the very beginning of this section. If you use Aldus PrePrint, install the version 3.
Using the LocalTalk Interface Testing Macintosh Communication You can check communication between the printer selected in the Chooser and the Macintosh by sending a file to the printer from an application (see your application documentation for more information) or by printing a directory, as described here: 1 Display a disk or folder window. 2 Set up page information. Choose Page Setup from the File menu. Select paper size, printing orientation, and any other necessary options. Then select OK.
What Next? A Note for Users of Adobe PhotoShop If you use Adobe PhotoShop, go to PhotoShop’s Page Setup dialog box, and select Use Printer’s Default Screen under the Screens option. This allows your choices in the QMS driver to take effect. What Next? Now that you’ve connected your printer to a Macintosh and installed the printing utilities and drivers, you need to set the LocalTalk interface values via the control panel for your printing environment.
4 Connecting to a PC In This Chapter . . .
Introduction Introduction This chapter explains what an interface is and describes how to connect your printer to a PC via the parallel port and/or the serial port. Interface Interface is the point at which two elements connect so they can work together. Printer-computer interface is the way a printer connects to and works with a computer (a microcomputer, workstation, minicomputer, mainframe computer, or a network), and it involves both hardware and software.
Before Making the Connection What You Need Interface cables are not included with your printer. If you’re replacing a printer, you may already have the necessary cables. If not, you’ll need to purchase the cables from your QMS vendor or a local computer store.
Making the Connection Serial cable—If the printer is more than 6.5 feet/2 meters from the computer, we recommend using a serial cable for better communication. For best results, the printer and computer should be less than 25 feet/7.6 meters from each other. Making the Connection ▲ Caution: If you’re connecting the printer to a single PC, turn off both systems first. 1 Connect the PC and the printer n Parallel cable a Connect the 25-pin end of the cable to the PC’s parallel port.
Testing Communication n Serial cable a Connect the serial cable (with the null modem adapter attached) to the PC’s 9- or 25-pin male serial port. b Connect the other end of the cable to the printer’s serial port (labeled “SERIAL”). c Tighten the screws. To Computer To Printer 9-pin Female 9-pin Or Female 25-pin Female 2 Turn on both the printer and the PC. 3 Test communication between the printer and the PC.
Testing Communication Creating the Test File To create the test file, type the following commands at the DOS prompt: copy con printest.ps↵ showpage↵ ^D^Z↵ (All commands above except the DOS copy command are case sensitive and must be typed exactly as shown.) Showpage is a PostScript command that prints a blank page. The ↵ symbol means to press the Enter key. To produce the ^D and ^Z, press and hold down the Ctrl key while you type the appropriate letters (d and z).
Testing Communication a If the AUTOEXEC.BAT file contains the line MODE LPT1:=COM1: delete it. b Then type MODE LPT1:,,P↵ The “P” represents infinite retry and it tells the PC to send print jobs until the printer accepts them. c Restart the PC and retry the communication test. See chapter 6, “Troubleshooting,” of the Operation guide and refer to your DOS documentation for more information. Serial Communication 1 To send the PRINTEST.PS file you just created to the printer, type print printest.
Testing Communication a Look for a command line like this in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file: MODE COM1:9600,N,8,1,P↵ In this example, the serial port settings are 9600 for baud rate, N (no) parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit. The “P” stands for infinite retry. Note: If the mode statement isn’t in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, you may temporarily set these parameters at the DOS prompt to continue this test by typing the mode statement as shown above.
Testing Communication Press the following control panel keys in the order shown: Press this key... to... For 1.5 seconds, the message window reads ... and then it reads ... Online/ Offline Turn off the Ready indicator and enable printer configuration. Menu Access the configuration menu. Next Advance to the Administration menu.

Online/ Offline Access the Save Changes option. SAVE CHANGES? *NO Next Advance to the Yes option. YES Select Save changes.
PC Printing Software PC Printing Software If you're replacing a PostScript printer, you can probably start printing now with the printing software already in place. Refer to your application documentation for instructions on sending documents to the printer.
PC Printing Software If you're using a non-Windows application, read the printing section of the application documentation for information on choosing a PostScript driver. If the application does not provide a PostScript driver, contact the application manufacturer to see if one has become available since you bought the program. Also, PostScript drivers for some applications are available through the QMS bulletin board and through CompuServe; see appendix A, “QMS Customer Support,” for information.
PC Printing Software 6 In the Add Unlisted or Updated Printer dialog box, select the appropriate printer: n n If you’re using the QMS Level 2 Windows printer driver, select your printer (for example, QMS 1060 Level 2) from the list of printers, and choose OK. Otherwise, select QMS PostScript Printer, and choose OK. Note: If you see the message Insert Microsoft Windows 3.1 Disk #5 or a disk with the updated SSERIFF.FON file in..., choose Cancel.
Printing from the PC Printer Description Files Printer description files for Windows applications are included on the QMS-developed Windows Drivers disk shipped with your printer. If you use the QuarkXPress 3.3, after you install the QMS driver for Windows, install the QMS 1060 PDF according to the instructions in your QuarkXPress documentation for installing PDFs.
