2 Print Media In This Chapter . . .
Introduction Introduction This chapter lists the media sizes and imageable areas supported by the QMS 1060 Print System, and then provides information on selecting and storing media. Media Sizes and Imageable Areas Your printer supports paper, envelopes, transparencies, and labels in a number of sizes.
Media Sizes and Imageable Areas The following table lists the size, imageable area, feed edge (the edge of the media drawn in the printer), and input source (tray or cassette from which media is accepted) for all supported media. Media Media Size Imageable Area Feed Edge *Input Source Inches Millimeters Inches Millimeters A4 8.2x11.7 208x297 7.94x11.34 201.68x288.04 Short MSO B5 ISO 6.93x9.85 176x250 6.59x9.5 167.39x241.30 Short M Executive 7.25x10.5 184x267 6.94x10.17 176.28x258.
Media Types and Weights n Use the PostScript translate and scale operators to reduce image size and change its placement on the page. Setting Page Margins Margins are set through your application. Some applications allow you to set custom page sizes and margins while others allow only standard page sizes and margins. If you choose a standard format, you may lose part of your image due to imageable area constraints. If you can custom-size your page, use exactly those sizes given for the imageable area.
Media Types and Weights ▲ Caution: The heat of the fuser may seal some envelopes. Test an envelope to make sure it can withstand the fusing temperature before starting a big job. Transparency Type The printer supports transparencies meeting normal photocopier standards, such as 3M PP2500. » Note: Use only transparencies recommended for laser printers. Transparency Weight The printer supports transparencies up to a weight of 36 lbs (135 g/m2).
Storing Media Storing Media How you store paper and other media can make a big difference in print quality and printer operation. Improperly stored media increases the chance of jams during printing and can drastically affect the appearance of your work.
3 Professional Printing In This Chapter . . .
Introduction Introduction This chapter displays the printer’s resident typefaces, offers suggestions for using them, and includes page design tips. A bibliography for graphic design and desktop publishing can be found at the end of this chapter. About Typefaces and Fonts Many of the terms and phrases used in desktop publishing are derived from the language of professional printers and typesetters. This section explains common words and phrases used when discussing typefaces.
About Typefaces and Fonts Typeface Classification One way of classifying the different typefaces is to group them into the following categories: Serif A serif is a decorative line or tail on the ends of the strokes of a letter. Serifs, usually on the lower half of a letter, have also been referred to as feet or curlicues. Courier, ITC Bookman, New Century Schoolbook, Palatino, and Times are serif typefaces. In the example shown, all the letters except “e” and “o” have serifs.
About Typefaces and Fonts Pi or Symbol Σψµβολ Pi or symbol typefaces are collections of assorted specialpurpose characters (for example, decorative, graphic, math, or monetary characters). They are especially useful for highlighting items in lists, providing graphics, and displaying symbols that might otherwise have to be drawn in by hand. Many typefaces today include a complement of the more commonly used pi characters. Symbol and ITC Zapf Dingbats are pi typefaces.
About Typefaces and Fonts Bitmapped Font A bitmapped font is a one in which each character is represented by a set of dot patterns. Each font size requires a different set of dot patterns. Scalable Font A scalable font is one in which each character’s dot pattern (bitmap) is generated from a mathematical representation (or outline) of the character. Scalable fonts eliminate the need to store many different font sizes. Point Size Point size refers to the height of a proportionally spaced typeface.
About Typefaces and Fonts Stroke Weight Pa lat ino Pa lat ino Stoke weight (light/medium/bold) is the width (thickness), of the lines (strokes) that make up a character. The example at left shows the medium and bold weights of Palatino. Italic and Oblique Forms Italic was originally developed in the early sixteenth century as a typeface based on cursive handwriting. Today’s italics are still individually crafted typefaces designed to blend with a specific roman (upright) typeface.
Resident Fonts, Typefaces, and Symbol Sets derive from painting; a portrait is usually a vertical view while a landscape is usually a horizontal view.

Resident Fonts, Typefaces, and Symbol Sets Resident HP PCL Fonts Your printer has the following resident HP PCL fonts. All fonts can be automatically rotated to landscape orientation. Some are fixed in pitch and point size while others are scalable. Unless otherwise noted, samples are show in 10 point size.
Downloadable Fonts Resident HP-GL Symbol Sets Your printer has the following resident HP-GL symbol sets. All come in both fixed- and variable-spaced versions, and all are scalable.
Optional Fonts styles and resolutions. (See chapter 6, “Printer Options,” later in this manual for more information on these fonts.) Intellifont PROMs v The optional Intellifont PROMs increases the number of PCL 5 fonts from 20 to 37 for LaserJet 4Si compatibility. (See chapter 6, “Printer Options,” later in this manual for more information on these fonts.
4 Printer Configuration In This Chapter . . .
Introduction Introduction This chapter begins by listing and describing the different ways you can configure your printer to meet your special printing needs. The next section describes how to use the printer control panel to access the configuration menu and how to make configuration changes. The rest of the chapter provides basic printer configuration information about all configuration menu options. Menu features are grouped according to task.
Methods of Configuration Applications use printer drivers to send the appropriate commands automatically to the printer for the requested tasks. If your application doesn't have a QMS 1060 Print System driver, you can select a comparable PostScript driver, such as another QMS driver or a LaserWriter driver. However, comparable drivers may not allow you to access all of your printer's features, such as 600x600 dpi printing or collating. For best results, use the driver that accompanied your new printer.
Configuration Menu Using the Control Panel Your printer is configured at the factory for the most typical printing environments, so most users don't have to use the control panel often. However, if you do need to change a printer setting for all print jobs (not just on a per-job basis), you can do so through the control panel. If you are working in a shared printing environment, your system administrator should be the only person to make changes through the printer's control panel.
Configuration Menu n Installation Menu Use this menu to establish passwords for the Operator Control and Administration menus. This menu displays only when an optional security card is installed. n Operator Control Menu Use this menu to maintain document processing options (number of copies, media type, and paper orientation). These capabilities are usually handled most efficiently within specific print jobs since each job has its own requirements.

Configuration Menu Setting the Message Window Language Status messages and configuration menus can be displayed in the message window in English, French, German, or Spanish. If you need to change the message window language, use the Keypad Language option in the Administration/Miscellaneous menu. Menu Administration/Miscellaneous/Keypad Language Choices English, French, German, Spanish Default English Notes This printer must be restarted for changes to the Keypad Language menu to take effect.
Configuration Menu Options » Choices Yes, No Yes—Reboots the system. No—Does not reboot the system. Default No Notes This process takes several minutes to complete. Note: If you save a change and for some reason wish to return to the previous state, use the Advanced Status Page as a reference. Configuration Menu Options The rest of this chapter describes the options in the printer configuration menu.
Collation n n n Printer start-up options Special pages Timeouts Collation One of the features of your printer is collation: the printing of sets of multiple copies of a document in numeric order. Your printer is capable of delivering multiple copies of your files in collated order to the output tray. The following figure shows the collated and uncollated stacking for two copies of a four-page file.
Collation Working with Chunk Collation For a multiple copy document with collation On, there must be enough display list memory to hold the display list blocks (R1) for all pages in the collation range. See the “Memory” section of the Reference, for more information on the Display List compressed blocks. If there is not enough memory, then a chunk collation boundary is forced after the last compiled page of the collation range.
Collation n n ▲ Add more printer memory which automatically increases the Display List client’s memory values. See chapter 6, “Printer Options,” of this manual for information on how to install additional memory. Take memory not being used by other clients and add it to the Display List client. Caution: This option should only be used by individuals who are familiar with adjusting memory clients values. Incorrect use of this option could cause your system to operate incorrectly.
Copies Copies While it is usually preferable to use your application to select the number of copies of your document you want to print, you can change the default number of copies for all print jobs through the printer control panel. Menu Operator Control/Copies Choices 001-1000 Default 001 Notes Sets the default number of copies for all subsequent print jobs. When power is turned off and then back on again, the number of copies is restored to the default setting of 001.
Updating System Software Updating System Software Updating the system software is a three-step procedure: 1 Choose the appropriate compressed system software files. 2 Install the system software on your computer. 3 Download the system software to the printer. The following sections explain these steps in detail. ▲ Caution: Some fonts downloaded on your printer’s hard disk are copy-protected. Therefore, when you upgrade the system upgrade (release 2.
Updating System Software Installing the System Software Once you have identified the appropriate print system software disk set (using the table in the previous section), you must install the software on your computer’s hard disk before you can download it to the printer. 1 Ensure that your computer has enough free hard disk space for the system software. 2 Create a new folder (Macintosh) or directory (PC) on your computer.
Updating System Software e n When the installation is finished, you’re prompted to click Quit to exit the Installer program. PC a At the DOS C:\DIRECTORY prompt, type x:pkunzip x:system↵ where DIRECTORY is the name of the new directory you created in step 2, and x is the name of the disk drive in which you inserted Disk 1. b Follow the prompts.
Updating System Software Downloading System Software to a Functional Printer—SYSTEMDL.PS If the print system software is non-functional (the printer can’t start up), go to a following section, “Downloading System Software to a Non-Functional Printer.” If the print system software is functional (the printer starts up normally, and IDLE displays in the message window), and if you decompressed the file SYSTEMDL.PS in the previous section, use these instructions.
Updating System Software The downloading process takes about 5 minutes, depending on the size of the file and the speed of your computer. The printer’s Ready indicator blinks as the new system image is copied to flash memory. After the updated system software has been written to flash memory, the printer reboots with the new system image, prints a start-up page, and returns to IDLE. Note: The new flash image does not erase the old image until the printer verifies that the new image is valid.
Updating System Software 2 Print another advanced status page, and verify that the configuration settings match the previous configuration settings (on the advanced status page printed in the “Before you Begin Downloading the Software” section). 3 If there are differences in the configuration settings, reconfigure them through the printer configuration menu. Downloading System Software to a Functional Printer—SYSTEM.
Updating System Software This procedure should not change the current configuration settings. However, the advanced status page provides a record of all current configuration settings, so you can verify that they are the same after the system software has been updated. 3 Take the printer off line. 4 Access the Administration/Miscellaneous/New Flash Image menu. 5 Select Yes in the New Flash Image menu. The printer waits for the new system software (image) to be sent from your Macintosh.
Updating System Software PC—Parallel Port This is the recommended method for downloading from an IBM or compatible PC because it is the fastest method and because no additional cables or changes of port settings are necessary. After you have installed the system software, as described in the previous section, use the following procedure to update the system software in flash memory. » Note: If you’re using a serial port, skip to the following section, “PC— Serial Port.
Updating System Software The downloading process takes about 5 minutes, depending on the size of the file and the speed of your PC. The Ready indicator blinks as the new system image is copied to flash ROM. After the updated system software has been written to flash ROM, the printer reboots with the new system image, prints a start-up page, and returns to IDLE. Note: The new flash image does not erase the old image until the printer verifies that the new image is valid.
Updating System Software access the QMS Main Library through the L (Library of Files) selection, do the following: a Choose D (Download a File). b Type hibaud.exe↵ c Exit from the Bulletin Board. d Terminate the connection. 3 Type hibaud↵ to extract the ModeX files. 4 Set the PC’s baud rate to 38400 by typing modex.exe↵ modex # 38400 n 8 1↵ where # is 1-4. See the MODEX.DOC file for more information on this program.
Updating System Software 9 Select Yes in the New Flash Image menu. The printer waits for the new system software (image) to be sent via your PC’s serial port. (YES remains in the message window until the new image is sent.) 10 Send the new image to the printer. Type copy /b system.dl com#↵ where # is 1 to 4. (/b refers to binary files.) If you’re not sure of the number of the serial port, check your PC’s documentation.
Updating System Software Macintosh If the current print system software is not functioning, you must connect your Macintosh to the printer’s serial port to reinstall the system software. The downloading procedure will not work over the LocalTalk or CrownNet interface in this case. » Note: This downloading procedure requires a connection from the Macintosh’s serial port (either the modem or the printer port) to the printer’s serial port. The cable must have a DIN-8 female connector on the Macintosh end.
Updating System Software The downloading process takes about 10 minutes, depending on the size of the file and the speed of your Macintosh. The Ready indicator blinks as the new system image is written to flash ROM. After the updated system software has been written to flash ROM, the message Download Complete! appears on the Macintosh screen, the printer reboots with the new system image, prints a start-up page, and returns to IDLE.
Updating System Software The downloading process takes about 5 minutes, depending on the size of the file and the speed of your PC. The Ready indicator blinks as the new system image is copied to flash ROM. After the updated system software has been written to flash ROM, the printer reboots with the new system image, prints a start-up page, and returns to IDLE. Note: The new flash image does not erase the old image until the printer verifies that the new image is valid.
Updating System Software d Terminate the connection. 3 Type hibaud↵ to extract the ModeX files. 4 Set the PC’s baud rate to 38400 by typing modex.exe↵ modex # 38400 n 8 1↵ where # is 1-4.

Interfaces Default 00015 Notes This value must be less than K Mem For Spool (Administration /Memory menu). A 00000 value does not turn off the spooling buffer for the parallel interface. If the value is set to 00000, the printer calculates the Min K Spool automatically at initialization. The printer is immediately restarted when a change is made to this option. (For example, change the value to 35, press the Select key, and the menu changes to LocalTalk.
Interfaces End Job Mode Enables (and identifies an end-of-job sequence) or disables data stream sensing for the end-of-document (EOD) command. These sequences allow hosts to enforce print job sequencing without considerations for interacting timeouts. See chapter 5, “Additional Technical Information,” for details on how to implement this feature on your QMS 1060 Print System.
Interfaces Def Job Prio Allows you to specify which jobs are printed first, according to the interface through which they are received, when jobs are received simultaneously. In other words, you can give jobs received via the parallel interface priority over jobs received via the LocalTalk and serial interfaces.

Memory Identifying a Default Media Size Use an option in the Administration/Engine menu to identify the size media the print should use if it does not recognize the size specified for a print job. Menu Administration/Engine/Default Paper Choices Letter A4 Default Letter 8.50"x11.00" 11.69"x8.27" 279.4x215.9 mm 297.2x420.4 mm Memory Use the Administration/Memory menu to custom-configure system memory (RAM) among the various memory “clients.” The printer is shipped with 8 MB of memory.
Memory Disk Cache K Mem Disk Cache is the number of kilobytes of RAM dedicated to the disk cache. This memory client speeds file system throughput on the hard disks, if one or more are installed, by storing frequently used data in system memory instead of continually storing it to and retrieving it from a hard disk.
Memory For example, the recommended disk cache client size for a single 120 MB hard disk is 180 KB, and for two 120 MB hard disks it is 240 KB. These are recommended values. The printer still operates with a smaller cache, but decreased performance may result. Display K Mem Display is the number of kilobytes of RAM dedicated to the display lists. The display list holds the intermediate representation of pages to be printed.
Memory Emulation (Temporary) K Mem Emul Tmp is the number of kilobytes of RAM to be used by non-PostScript emulations for storing downloaded (soft) fonts, forms, or macros. Data in this client disappears when the printer is turned off. This client is listed as Temporary on the status page. Increasing this client's size increases the number of PCL downloaded fonts which can be accepted.
Memory Default Off Notes If disk swapping is enabled and the system hard disk is removed or not turned on, the printer automatically resets Enable Disk Swap to Off. It would then be necessary to re-enable disk swapping, if you want this functionality. The printer must be restarted for changes to the Enable Disk Swap setting to take effect. Changing this setting causes the REBOOT NOW? prompt to appear.
Memory » Note: The printer does not allow you to choose features that do not work with the amount of memory currently installed. Using this option does not change the media size. It just ensures that you have enough memory allocated to the appropriate clients to print on the requested media size.
Memory PostScript Heap K Mem for PS Heap is the number of kilobytes of RAM dedicated to the PostScript emulation interpreter. This memory client holds downloaded PostScript emulation fonts, operators, and forms. Menu Administration/Memory/K Mem for PS Heap Choices 01024-08192 Default 01316 Notes If you change the K Mem for PSHeap value, the printer automatically restarts after you save your changes and exit from the configuration menu.

5 Additional Technical Information In This Chapter . . .
Introduction Introduction This chapter provides additional technical information on communication modes, gamma correction, memory management, end job mode, the PS Protocol option, and HP-GL color-to-grayscale conversion. Communication Modes You can either allow your printer to operate in its default ESP mode or configure its ports to accept jobs in only a particular emulation (for example, PostScript emulation only, HP PCL emulation only, or HPGL emulation only).
About Gamma Correction About Gamma Correction Terms Several terms related to gamma correction are explained in this section to help you better understand the gamma correction concept. Gray Levels Gray levels are a progressive series of gray tones between black and white. Gray levels are obtained by varying the ratio of black to white dots. The number of gray levels depends on printer resolution and screen frequency.
About Gamma Correction Halftone Types Your printer provides two different types of halftones—basic and advanced. These two options allow you to customize the smoothness of the printed image according to the number of grayscales it uses. n n » Basic—Regular dot placement at 53 lpi for 300x300 resolution or 71 dpi for 600x600 resolution. Advanced—Variable dot placement according to the grayscale within the image. Generally, this option provides smoother transitions between grayscales within the image.
About Gamma Correction The following illustration shows the relationship between screen frequency, gray levels, and print resolution. As the screen frequency increases, the number of gray levels decreases. Gray Levels 300x300 dpi 600x600 dpi 250 201 200 150 129 100 73 50 51 33 33 19 9 0 42 53 71 106 Screen frequency (lpi) The number of gray levels that your printer can produce depends on the screen frequency and the print resolution.
About Gamma Correction Screen Angle A screen angle is the angle at which a halftone screen prints. The default screen angle for your QMS 1060 Print System is 45°. This is the normal angle for black and white printers. You can change the screen angle through the PostScript setscreen operator. Gamma Correction Concept Often in scanned images, gray scaling may be too light or dark to show details clearly.
About Gamma Correction A Special Note for QuarkXPress Users Make sure you have installed the QMS 1060 and 1060E PDFs in the PDF folder in the QuarkXPress folder. While QuarkXPress 3.3 allows you to access either a PDF or a PPD, to have access to all of your printer’s features, you should use the PDF. To select the PDF, go to the Page Setup dialog box in QuarkXPress, and hold down the Shift key while clicking the Printer Type list box.
Memory Basic Screening To use basic screening (or halftoning), do the following: At the Printer n n In the Administration/Emulations/PostScript/Halftone Type menu select Basic. In the Administration/Emulations/PostScript/Gamma Correction menu select Yes. In Your QuarkXPress Document (Page Setup Dialog Box) n n n n In the Printer Type listbox select 1060 Basic Screening PDF. If you have EFIcolor software loaded, select None. Set the Halftone Screen (lpi) to the lpi of your choice.
Memory The ability to configure your printer's memory doesn’t necessarily mean that you must change your current configuration. If you’re presently using all the features you need and the printer is performing efficiently, you shouldn’t feel compelled to reconfigure your printer's memory. Just remember that if your printing needs change, not only do you have the ability to increase the amount of printer memory, but you also can redistribute it where you feel it would best meet your printing requirements.
Memory Memory Memory allows your printer to store and retrieve information. It’s the space within your printer where information is stored while being actively worked on. Memory Client A memory client is a block of memory dedicated to a specific function. Each memory client controls certain features. When insufficient memory is allocated to a specific client, the features it controls may not be accessible.
Memory neously depend on the amount of RAM you have and how that RAM is distributed. Your printer comes with 8 MB of RAM, upgradable to 64 MB by adding Single In-line Memory Modules (SIMMs). RAM Disk Also called a virtual disk, the RAM disk is an area of RAM that is used to simulate an additional hard disk. Data can be written and read more quickly than on a hard disk, but a RAM disk loses any information stored on it when the printer's power is turned off. The spooling buffer is a RAM disk client.
Memory NV RAM This is a protected form of RAM, used to store information such as your printer’s Configuration menu. Configuration options you have chosen, such as emulations, memory settings, and input bins, are saved to this non-volative RAM. This information is not lost when you turn off your printer’s power. Physical Memory The physical memory on your printer is equal to the amount of RAM installed.
Memory features you don’t use, you allocate the excess memory in the clients that control the unused features to other clients that need additional memory.
Memory 16 Will you be printing at 300x300 dpi or 600x600 dpi? After you have answered all of these questions, read the following sections to see which memory clients control the features you plan to use and which memory clients control features you don’t need. Memory Clients Memory clients are blocks of printer memory that are dedicated to a specific purpose. Each of the memory clients is located in the Administration/Memory menu.
Memory If you are uncertain about how to configure your printer’s memory, use only the Administration/Memory/Framebuffer menu. Or use this menu as a starting point before trying manually to configure your printer’s memory. It provides a simple method of defining how much memory should go to each of the clients for the most complicated printing conditions in your environment. Menu options allow you to specify the largest media size you plan to use for each resolution.
Memory The following table lists, for your information, the minimum number of KB that must be devoted to the frame buffer for all media size and resolution combinations: Media Minimum Frame Buffer Size (in KB) 300 x 300 dpi 600 x 600 dpi Letter 960 3832 Legal 1236 4936 A4 996 3960 Envelopes 468 1852 Executive 776 3100 B5 ISO 736 2984 Postcard 236 932 Display List Also known as K Mem Display, this client stores compressed representations, or blocks, of the pages to be printed.
Memory Increasing the amount of memory in this client may improve printing throughput and minimize slowdowns due to collating or printing complex pages. If not enough memory is allocated to this client, memory is taken from the excess memory client to complete a print job. PostScript Font Cache Also known as K Mem PS Fonts and Font Cache, this memory client stores bitmapped representations of previously scaled PostScript fonts.
Memory PS Heap Also known as K Mem PS Heap, PostScript VM, and Virtual Memory, this client holds downloaded fonts, PostScript operators, and forms. Inefficiently coded PostScript jobs can consume an unlimited amount of virtual memory or leave objects in the PostScript heap after the print jobs are completed, leading to virtual memory errors. If not enough memory is allocated to the PS heap, the job cannot print.
Memory Temporary Emulation Also known as K Mem Emul Tmp and Emulation Temporary, this client sets the amount of system memory to be used by non-PostScript emulations for storing downloaded fonts, forms, and macros. By dedicating a portion of memory to this client, your printer can perform “context switching,” the ability to retain downloaded fonts and forms even after the printer changes from one emulation to another.
Memory Disk Cache This memory client stores frequently used data in system memory instead of continually storing and retrieving it from a hard disk. If a hard disk is used and a lot of disk access is required, adding memory to the disk cache may increase the printer’s performance. For example, if many fonts are stored on disk, faster access to these fonts is achieved by increasing the disk cache size.
Memory For example, the recommended disk cache client size for a single 120 MB hard disk would be 180 KB, and for two 120 MB hard disks it would be 240 KB. » Note: After you format a hard disk and the FORMAT COMPLETE message is displayed in the message window, the formatted disk may not be available to the system until the printer is turned off and then on again. MB Printer Mem This field shows the size of the physical RAM installed in the printer.
End Job Mode Virtual Memory Support Your printer supports virtual memory capabilities for the spooling buffer (Administration/Memory/K Mem for Spool menu) and the display list (Administration/Memory/K Mem Display menu) clients when a hard disk is installed and disk swapping is enabled. These capabilities extend the amount of memory available for certain supported features, such as spooling to the spool buffer. If available, a hard disk can supplement this client with additional memory needed for spooling.
End Job Mode When printing multiple jobs with little or no time delay and with no EOD command between jobs, the serial and parallel protocols may be unable to detect an end of job automatically. The End Job Mode feature on QMS Crown printers was designed to allow you to set the end of document for print jobs being sent through these protocols.
End Job Mode Using the EOD Commands Since the serial and parallel protocols may not be able to detect an EOD automatically, due to a lack of an EOD command in some printer languages, you can insert an EOD command at the end of your file to tell the printer where your print job ends. QMS Crown printers recognize two end-of-document commands: QMS EOD and HP EOD. These commands are functionally the same.
End Job Mode PC Print Server 1 Set the end job mode from the printer’s control panel. 2 Create a job separator to append an EOD command and send it between each print job. Other Print Queuing Systems If you use a print queuing system other than a PC print server and you experience what appears to be an EOD command problem, you may need to use another procedure, such as a print utility, an initialization sequence, or a header page to add an EOD command.

End Job Mode » » Note: represents the escape character. (The decimal value for the escape character is 027, and the hexadecimal value is 1B.) How you enter the escape character depends on your application. Some applications allow you to press and hold the ALT key and then type 027 to enter the escape character, while others allow you to type certain character sequences to represent the escape character.
Parallel Interface Modes Adding an EOD Command to a Separate File Create an ASCII text file that contains only the EOD command. For example, create a DOS batch file listing each print filename followed by the EOD command filename for each file being printed. Then “run” the batch file to print your list of files. Sample DOS batch file: Command Explanation Print mktg.doc Print end.txt Print acct.doc Print end.
Parallel Interface Modes Byte Mode Printer-host communication is done in bytes. The byte mode may be used by the host device in a DMA (Direct Memory Access) mode for more efficient operation. When byte transfer is complete and there is no more data to transmit the host may do one of the following: n n n terminate and return to the compatibility mode. stay in the HostBusy, Data Not Available phase. set HostBusy Low, putting the interface in the idle phase.
PS Protocol Option EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port) Printer-host communication is done via asynchronous bidirectional eight-bit transfer. A return to compatibility mode is not required. Nibble Mode Printer-host communication is done in nibbles (four bits; one-half byte) with the low order nibble sent first. A transfer of two nibbles is required for each byte of information.
PS Protocol Option To differentiate data from the special control characters, any data that is the same as one of the following special control characters must be quoted.
PS Protocol Option Options The following options are available in the PS Protocol menu. The default setting for all interfaces is Normal. Menu Administration/Communications/Interface/PS Protocol Choices Name and Description Interfaces Normal—Enables standard, ASCII hex protocol. Data is sent and received in ASCII format. This mode is recommended if you do not print binary data. It was designed for data in the printable ASCII range.
PS Protocol Option QBinary (Quoted Binary)—Enables binary communications protocol. Print jobs can alter this value through PostScript operators. Data in the printable ASCII range also prints. Use the special quoting mechanism for the special characters and ^D (EOF). LocalTalk, Ethernet, Token-Ring QBinary Fixed (Quoted Binary Fixed)— LocalTalk, Enables binary communications Ethernet, protocol. Print jobs cannot alter this Token-Ring value through PostScript operators.
HP-GL Color Encoding write out the quoted characters. See your QMS vendor for any available information on device drivers or binary filter programs. HP-GL Color Encoding The term “pen” in the HP-GL emulation refers to a logical pen (in other words, the current pen position) rather than to a physical pen on a plotter. A pen and a pen color are selected to draw images. This emulation supports 8 pens and pen colors.
HP-GL Color Encoding The printer maps each pen to its assigned color, then converts the color to a grayscale using the National Television System Committee (NTSC) standard equation for encoding color. This equation converts a given set of CMYK values to grayscale. For the 8 pen colors assigned to pens 1 - 8, the printer uses the designated grayscale; for any other pen color, the printer uses the following equation: [(C*0.3) + (M*0.59) + (Y*0.
6 Printer Options In This Chapter . . .
Introduction Introduction QMS offers many options that expand the QMS 1060 Print System’s capabilities. Contact your QMS vendor for a complete list of all the available options. See appendix A, “QMS Customer Support,” for the list of telephone numbers. Additional Media Cassettes Additional cassettes provide two main benefits: n n 6-2 Increased media-feed capacity. Install the optional feeder and a second cassette (the same size as the other cassette) and then chain cassettes.
About the Optional Feeder The QMS 1060 Print System has two user-installable media-input configurations. Standard Uses the lower cassette and the multipurpose tray for a total media-feed capacity of 650 sheets. The standard printer configuration consists of the printer and the standard feeder (into which a cassette slides). Dual cassette Allows you to install two cassettes at once, increasing the total media-feed capacity to 1150 sheets (including the multipurpose tray).
About the Optional Feeder n Is easy to install. The optional feeder is stacked between the printer and the standard feeder, so no extra space is necessary. Unpacking the Optional Feeder Remove the packing materials that protect the optional feeder during shipment as follows: 1 Take the feeder from the shipping carton and place it on a flat surface. 2 Remove any tape and packing material from the feeder. 3 Save the packing material in case you ever have to move or ship the feeder to a new location.
About the Optional Feeder ACHTUNG! Bitte beachten Sie, daß die Papierzuführungen unterhalb des Druckers nicht fest mit dem Drucker verbunden sind. Wenn Sie das gasamte Gerät hochheben wollen, greifen Sie deshalb in die Griffmulden der untersten Papierzuführung. Wenn Sie nur den Drucker hochheben, kann es sein, daß die Papierzuführung sich löst und herunterfällt. Dabei können Sie sich verletzen und der Drucker kann beschädigt werden.
About the Optional Feeder 2 Stack the optional feeder on the standard feeder. Ensure that the two feeders are securely stacked. 3 Set the printer on the optional feeder. Lift the printer by the carrying grips located on its sides, align the printer over the pins on the optional feeder, and set the printer down on the optional feeder so that the three positioning posts on the optional feeder fit into the holes on the printer’s bottom.
About the Optional Feeder 4 Reconnect the interface cables, plug in the power cord, and turn the printer back on. If you experience problems, check the order of the paper feeders in the stack, making sure that the optional paper feeder’s connector is correctly aligned with the pins on top of the standard paper feeder. Loading the Optional Media Cassette Follow the directions in the “Loading the 500-Sheet Cassette” section in chapter 2, “Consumables,” of the Operation guide.
About the Optional Feeder 2 Place up to 50 envelopes in the cassette short edge first with print-side (stamp-side) up so that the flap side aligns with the cassette’s left envelope guide. 3 Adjust the envelope guides. Push in on the envelope guides to adjust the stack. The guides move in, adjusting the stack in the center of the cassette. Ensure that the envelope stack lies flat, lightly touches the guides (is not buckled), and is positioned under the retaining clips on the guides.
Removing the Controller Board Removing the Controller Board The controller board must be reinstalled after installing a SIMM upgrade, the optional Intellifont PROMs, an optional hard disk, the Kanji Option Kit, or an optional network or LocalTalk interface.

Cable Pinouts Notes to the Table n n n n n n Direction refers to the direction of signal flow as viewed from the printer. To prevent noise effectively, these cables should be shielded and connected to the chassis of the system unit and printer, respectively. All interface conditions are based on Transistor-Transistor Logic (TTL) level. Both the rise and fall times of each signal must be less than 0.2 microseconds. Data transfer must be carried out by recognizing the ACKNLG or BUSY signal.
Cable Pinouts IBM PC/XT, PC/AT, and Compatible Computers The following diagrams show the serial cable pinouts for IBM PC/XT, PC/AT, and compatible computers. » Note: Not all serial cables are configured as shown and may require an additional null-modem adapter.

Warranty Considerations Warranty Considerations Various factors can affect a printer’s warranty. Two important ones are consumables and electrostatic discharge. Read your printer warranty carefully, and then store it in a safe place. Consumables and Your Warranty The use of non-QMS consumables and/or accessories alone does not affect either your warranty or any maintenance contract you may have purchased.
Warranty Considerations If you don't have an anti-static wrist strap, discharge your body's static electric charge by touching a grounded surface before you handle any printer boards or components and before removing the controller board cover. If you must walk around before completing your task, discharge your body's static electric charge again before touching the printer controller board. Handle circuit boards carefully by the edges.
C Document Option Commands In This Chapter . . .

PCL 5 Emulation Terminology PCL 5 Emulation Terminology This section provides detailed information on the terms and concepts used in the PCL 5 emulation. The understanding of these key terms and concepts is essential in order for you to benefit from the advantages provided by this emulation. Resource A resource is a location where downloaded objects such as fonts, macros, and patterns are stored. The printer has one default resource, and one additional resource for each attached disk.
PCL 5 Emulation Terminology —With the E command to reset the system. —With the Printer Job Language command (12345X) to reset the system. —With a QMS End-of-Job command (%%EndofDocument). (See chapter 5, the “End Job Mode” ”section, in the Reference guide for more details on this command. —The Administration/Emulations/PCL5/Retain Temporary menu option allows you to save objects across job boundaries.
PCL 5 Emulation Terminology Fonts Fonts are a unique set of objects that have an ID and attributes (symbol set, spacing, pitch, height, style, weight, and typeface number). You access a font by specifying a desired set of attributes. The system selects the font that most closely matches these attributes from the available set of fonts. There are two types of fonts: bound and unbound. A bound font supports a single symbol set. An unbound font supports multiple, but not all, symbol sets.
Updated PCL 5 DOCs Do not confuse the font index number with the PCL font ID, a mechanism used to identify downloaded fonts in the PCL language using the (#X command. There is no way to specify fonts by their font index numbers from within the PCL language. Only the default PCL font is affected. Updated PCL 5 DOCs This section provides the most current information on PCL 4 and PCL 5 DOC commands.
Updated PCL 5 DOCs Install Object Command Syntax %%IncludeFeature:install(resource id object id) Purpose Establishes the current resource and the default object ID value for the current job to which it is attached. If it is attached to a job that downloads a font without setting the current object ID using the PCL escape sequence (#X, it has the appearance of “storing” the font on disk.
Updated PCL 5 DOCs Notes The object ID can be used instead of the usual PCL command to assign an ID. This ID is overwritten by any ID assigned from the PCL print job, if present. If neither a DOC command nor the PCL print job specify an ID, the default ID of 0 is used. Identifiers must be unique. If the ID matches an ID for an existing object, that object is deleted and replaced by the new object.

Updated PCL 5 DOCs Remove Object Command Syntax %%IncludeFeature:remove(resource id object id object type) Purpose Removes an external object from the printer system. Variables resource id Purpose Indicates the resource from which the object is to be removed. Range 0 to 6 Default n/a Format Integer Note This ID must be specified. It indicates the resource from which the desired object is to be removed. There is no way to specify “all resources”.
Updated PCL 5 DOCs Notes: Format Character Notes If object type is * or is not specified, then all objects on the specified resource with the specified object id are removed. Unlike the %%IncludeFeature:install command, the %%IncludeFeature:remove command does not set any defaults, and it is not directly related to the job to which it is attached.
Updated PCL 5 DOCs Default n/a Format Integer Notes This ID must be specified. It indicates the resource from which the desired object is to be removed. There is no way to specify “all resources.” If a %%IncludeFeature:install command precedes the %%IncludeFeature:remove command, the remove command is ignored (these commands are mutually exclusive). If the disk does not exist, PCL issues the NO SPACE FOR FONT, MACRO, OR PATTERN error message.
Updated PCL 5 DOCs Notes This command is identical to the %%IncludeFeature:install DOC command. It is included for backward compatibility. All downloaded objects are by default temporary, and will be deleted at the end of a job unless Administration/ Emulations/PCL5/Retain Temporary is set to On, True, Or On Compatibility.
Updated PCL 5 DOCs Select Font Command Syntax %%IncludeFeature:font ( font name) Purpose Specifies the default font to use. Notes Fonts are identified by the names shown above. Only the resident fonts may be selected (the available set varies from printer to printer). An asterisk “*” in the name indicates that a font is scalable, and that a point size is to be applied. The value selectbyid indicates that the default font ID or unique font index will be used for default font selection.
Updated PCL 5 DOCs Notes This index is used when the Default Font selected is selectbyid. This allows for selection of fonts only on the current resource. Selection of default font by index overrides the symbol set value. The symbol set is overridden if a bound font is selected as the default or if an unbound font is selected that does not support the default symbol set. If a font with the specified index exists, it is selected as the Default Font.
Updated PCL 5 DOCs Variable name Purpose Specifies the symbol set name.
Updated PCL 5 DOCs Range Off/false—Treat line feed as a line feed. On/true—Treat line feed as a carriage return-line feed combination. Default Printer configuration dependent Format Boolean Notes The result of various settings for these parameters is shown in table below, in terms of the equivalent code passed to the PCL line termination command (&k#G). The second setting (lfiscrlf on, criscrlf off) is correct for most ASCII listings printed from UNIX machines.
Updated PCL 5 DOCs Default Printer configuration dependent Format boolean Notes The result of various settings for these parameters is shown in the table included in the Set Carriage Return (Line Termination) discussion, in terms of the equivalent code passed to the PCL line termination command. The second setting (lfiscrlf on, criscrlf off) is correct for most ASCII listings printed from UNIX machines.
Updated PCL 5 DOCs Set Lines Per Page Command Syntax %%IncludeFeature:linesperpage (#) Purpose Sets the default PCL line spacing. Notes Both the %%IncludeFeature:linesperinch and %%IncludeFeature:linesperpage DOC commands affect PCL’s default VMI (vertical motion index). In the event that both are specified, the linesperpage DOC command is ignored. Variable # Purpose Specifies the number of lines on the default page at the default orientation.
