Methods of Configuration ■ The printer control panel ■ A remote console, for network users only Configuration for Individual Jobs Using an Application Using an application is the best way for individual users to get the results they want from the departmental printer. This helps prevent confusion in network environments and saves unnecessary changes at the printer control panel. Your application documentation explains how to control printer settings: probably by choosing options from a printing menu.
Methods of Configuration select duplex (double-sided) or simplex (single-sided) printing, select page orientation and backgrounds, use number-up and booklet printing, and more. The features you select and the QMS DOC you use at the beginning of your file take effect only for the current print job. After your file prints, the QMS DOC commands added to the beginning of the next file take effect for it. If no QMS DOC appears on the next file, the printer’s default values resume.
Before You Begin environments. To avoid confusion in a shared printing environment, only the system administrator should make configuration changes. Before You Begin Before you start configuring the printer, you should have the following: ■ A security disk. This disk allows you to set passwords for the printer set-up menus, and to set the message window language (English, French, German, or Spanish). ■ A status page. The status page lists the current default settings for many of the printer options.
The Configuration Menus The advanced status page prints multiple pages with the current menu configuration settings and font information in addition to the standard status page information. To select which type of status page to print, see “Status Page Type” in the Special Pages submenu in chapter 6. After setting which type of status page to print, press the Status Page key to print a status page.

2 Installation Menu In This Chapter . . .
Introduction Introduction When the security disk is inserted in the printer’s disk drive, you can access the Installation menu.
Passwords Passwords Setting Passwords The two password setting options, Operator Passwrd and Admin Password, are options that require alphanumeric values, which may be up to 16 characters in length. If the password you choose is not 16 characters long, you must pad the remainder of the password with spaces. See chapter 1, “Introduction,” for information on entering alphanumeric values.
3 Operator Control Menu In This Chapter . . .
Introduction Introduction The options in the Operator Control menu allow you to set the default values for the various paper handling features of the QMS 3825/ 3225/2025 Print System. The Operator Control menu may be protected by a password (see chapter 2, “Installation Menu,” for more information).
Duplex Duplex The Duplex option allows you to print on both sides of paper, if the Advanced Paper Handling option (duplexer, large-capacity input tray, and system table) has been installed. Duplex choices are On and Off. The default value is Off. Setting Duplex to On at the printer makes all jobs print duplex. If you want to print individual jobs duplex, leave the printer setting at Off and choose duplex through your application.
Collation Collation The Collation option allows you to choose whether to print all copies of a single page before any copies of the next page or whether to print one copy of every page before starting the next entire copy. Choices are On and Off with a default of On. The following illustration shows the difference between collated and uncollated jobs.
Inputbin Inputbin The Inputbin option has a selection of choices for the printer’s default paper source. The choices are Upper, Lower, and LCIT (if the Advanced Paper Handling option is installed). Choose LCIT to use the large-capacity input tray on the 3825, 3225, or 2025 Print Systems or the large-large-capacity input tray on the 3825 or 3225. The default is Upper.
Outputbin ■ Upper ■ Lower ■ Side (The side, face-up bin, displays as an option only when folded out for use.) ■ LCOS (On the 3825 only, if the optional Large-Capacity Output Stacker is installed) ■ * (The printer stacks paper in any available face-down bin — upper, lower, or LCOS, if installed). The illustration below shows the output bins. On the control panel printer icon, the output bins are labeled 1, 2 , and 3 with 1 being the Upper bin, 2 being the Lower bin, and 3 being the Side bin.
Chain Inputbins Chain Inputbins The Chain Inputbins option specifies whether the printer switches to another input bin containing the same size paper when one input bin is empty. The default value for Chain Inputbin is On. Crown Accounting Crown accounting, a tool to help you keep track of the use of printer resources, is available on your QMS Print System, with or without a network connection. Paper use is the most commonly monitored resource.
Crown Accounting job completes, the printer stores an entry for the job in the Job Accounting file(s). Caution: Do not turn the printer off while the disk is being accessed. Doing so may cause inconsistencies in the information stored.
Crown Accounting The amount of space required for each job can vary between 200 and 250 bytes, so each 1 MB in the job accounting file will store information on 4,000 to 5,000 jobs. If the selected value is greater than the current value, the file size is increased to reserve the extra space. If the value is smaller than the current file size, any empty job accounting files are moved. If only one file is used and it is not empty, it cannot be shrunk.
Crown Accounting » Note: When accounting is enabled and the Job Accounting files are 100% full, no further print jobs are accepted by the printer until Resetaccounting is selected or until Accounting is disabled. If you disable Accounting at this time, no job information is stored. You can retrieve your accounting files while they are full and then do the Resetaccounting operation.
Crown Accounting Press Select and remove the disk. Then follow the same procedure to copy additional files, using a separate disk for each file. There is a menu entry for each possible file, but you need to copy only the ones you use. The last selection copies the auxiliary accounting files to the floppy disk. These files — ACC.STA, ACC.PAP, ACC.DIC — are described later in this chapter.
Crown Accounting Accounting File Format Description Accounting files are recorded in ASCII format in a series of tagged fields. New fields can be added without losing backward compatibility, because each field is tagged. A version field is included in the ACC.STA file to identify the supported fields as the system evolves. » Note: Field 45 in the Job Accounting File example on page 3-13 illustrates that new fields can be added to the series but used where logical, in this case between fields 6 and 7.
Crown Accounting Example The following is an example of the format of an accounting file record: 1: 3, 2:{this is a string}, In this example, the record has fields identified by tags 1 and 2. Since these values don't use 3 digits for the tag identifier, spaces are stored instead, to provide consistency and simplicity while using only a small amount of extra space. In this example, the value for the field tagged 1 is the integer 3 and the value for the field tagged 2 is a string.
Crown Accounting 3-14 1: This field is the document’s internally assigned priority. 1:1 Priority 1, the highest, has been assigned to this job 2: This field indicates the time a document arrived in the printer by hour, minute, and second. 2: Printer received job at 8:05:52 3: This field indicates the date a document arrived in the printer. 3: {2/ 7/95} Printer received job on Feb.
Crown Accounting 9: 9: 2794 The Compile Time field is the processor time in milliseconds (1/1000 second) spent translating the page description language. Typically, it also includes minimal other system activity. Processor spent 2.794 seconds compiling the page 10 The Print Time field represents 10: 15414 the total elapsed time in milliseconds(1/1000 second) used by the document since its first page started printing until its last page cleared the printer. Job took 15.
Crown Accounting 3-16 16: 0 No finishing options 16: The Finishing Options field is a number formed by adding the codes for the different options: 0 None 2 Offset Stacking 17: 17: 1 The Chunk Count field represents the number of collated chunks for this job. If the complete document does not fit in memory, chunk collation is activated. A value of 1 for this field indicates no partial collation was necessary. 18: The Jam field indicates how many times the printer jammed while printing the document.
Crown Accounting Paper Accounting File Record Example The following example shows a Paper Accounting file: 22: 8268, 23: 11693, 24: 75, 25:{ white}, 26:{ plain}, 27:{ }, 22: 8500, 23: 11000, 24: 75, 25:{ white}, 26:{ plain}, 27:{ }, 22: 7165, 23: 10118, 24: 75, 25:{ white}, 26:{ plain}, 27:{ }, 22: 14000, 23: 8500, 24: 75, 25:{ white}, 26:{ plain}, 27:{ }, 22: 16535, 23: 11693, 24: 75, 25:{ white}, 26:{ plain}, 27:{ }, 22: 14331, 23: 10118, 24: 75, 25:{ white}, 26:{ plain}, 27:{ }, 22: 17000, 23: 11000, 2
Crown Accounting » 24: The Paper Weight represents the 24: 75 weight per surface square units (g/m2) Paper weighs 75 g/m2 25: The Color field indicates the color of the paper. 25: white Paper is white 26: The Type field indicates additional properties of the paper. 26: plain Paper is plain 27: The Label field represents a name for the paper type. 27: { } No paper type name Note: Fields 24, 25, 26, and 27 are designed primarily for future enhancements to the accounting capabilities.
Crown Accounting 31: 31: The Last Job File Size field indicates the size of the last file. 1048576 In the multiple-file configuration, each file is 1 MB except the last, which holds any remaining space. 1048576 bytes, or 1 MB, is in the last file 32: The Job File Usage field indicates in bytes the total current use in all the job files.
Crown Accounting 3-20 36: The Number of Jobs field indicates how many documents are accounted for in the Job Accounting file(s). A value of 0 can mean that no jobs have been printed or that accounting is disabled. 36: 309 Current Job Accounting files hold data on 309 jobs 37: The Multifile field has a value of 1 if a single file is used and a value of 2 if multiple files are used to store job information.
Crown Accounting 43: 43: 31 The File field indicates the maximum character length of the File Name field in the Job Accounting file. File names are assigned with QMS DOC. The File Name can be up to 31 characters 44: 44: 31 The Charge field indicates the maximum character length of the Charge Number field in the Job Accounting file. Charge numbers are assigned with QMS DOC.
Crown Accounting 2 In the Operator Control/Accounting menu, choose Copy to Floppy. 3 Select the files you want to copy, choosing from the Job Accounting Files (ACC1.JOB through ACC10.JOB), ACC.STA, ACC.PAP, ACC.DIC. Since each file is 1 MB, you need a separate floppy disk for each file. Not all files will exist, so you need to copy only the ones that are necessary. 4 Remove the floppy disk from the printer and take it to your host computer.
Crown Accounting Using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) » Note: FTP works only when the printer message window displays IDLE. If multiple Job Accounting files are used, each of the ACCx.JOB files should be copied. (x is the number of each subsequent Job Accounting file.) Use FTP on the host to copy the files from the printer’s hard disk to the host as follows: 1 Type ftp printer-name (where printer-name is either the Ethernet address of the printer or its corresponding Ethernet name).
4 Administration/ Communications Submenu In This Chapter . . .
The Communications Submenu The Communications Submenu The default settings for printer-host communications are one portion of the Administration menu. The Communications submenu is shown below.
Timeouts Timeouts For many print jobs, the time required for transmission from host to printer is negligible. However, some print jobs require more transmission and processing time due to their size. The values in the Timeouts submenu help to ensure reliable transmission while preventing the printer from being tied up by any one job.
Timeouts Emul Timeout The Emulation Timeout value is the maximum number of seconds the printer waits on data for a job (other than PostScript) in process. The range is 0 to 99999 seconds, and the default value is 5 seconds. If this time expires and no new data for the job in process has been received by the printer, the current job is closed. A value of 0 seconds means that the printer does not time out while waiting on more data.
Serial Communication Serial Communication The Serial submenu is shown below.
Serial Communication Mode The Mode option enables or disables the PostScript interactive mode from the host. The options are Noninteractive, Interactive, and Disabled. Noninteractive establishes one-way communication from the host to the printer. Interactive establishes two-way communication between the host and the printer. Disabled turns off serial communication with the host so that the printer stops accepting print jobs over the serial interface. The default value is Interactive.
Serial Communication If the Spool Timeout value expires before the printer has received all data for a job it is spooling, the printer terminates the spooled print job. End Job Mode This option selects the End of Job terminator to be used for the serial interface without consideration for interacting timeouts. There are three choices available: None, QMS EOD (%%EndOfDocument), and HP EOD (%-12345X). Only one form of EOD can be used at a time. The default is QMS EOD.
Serial Communication Ignore Parity The Ignore Parity option specifies how the printer should handle parity errors. Choices are On and Off. When Ignore Parity is Off, the printer reports parity errors by replacing the character(s) affected by the error with a question mark. When Ignore Parity is On, the printer ignores parity errors and prints its best interpretation of the character(s) affected by the error. The default is Off.
Serial Communication value is 1 bit. Set this option to match the number of stop bits transmitted by the host. Hdwe Flow Ctl The Hdwe Flow Ctl (Hardware Flow Control) option allows you to pick the type of hardware flow control used by your host. The choices are DSR POL (default value: Lo), DSR (default value: Off), DTR POL (default value: Lo), DTR (default value: On), RTS (default value: Off), and CTS (default value: Off).
Serial Communication ^T DC4 0x14 Job status request ^\ FS 0x1C (Reserved for future use) A data byte is quoted by replacing it with a two-character sequence. The first character is a ^A (ASCII hex 0x01), and the second character is the character itself XORed with the ASCII value 0x40. For example, to send the value 0x14 (^T) as data, send the two character sequence 0x01 0x54 (^A T) instead. (ASCII T in the example is the result of XORing ^T with 0x40.
Parallel Communication Parallel Communication The Parallel submenu is shown below. COMMUNICATIONS PARALLEL PARALLEL PS PROTOCOL PARALLEL MODE PARALLEL EMULATION PARALLEL DEF JOB PRIO PARALLEL MIN K SPOOL PARALLEL END JOB MODE PARALLEL SPOOL TIMEOUT APPLETALK DATA BITS Mode The Mode option controls whether the parallel interface is active. The default value is Enabled. If you are not using the parallel interface, you can select Disabled to prevent any jobs from being received over the interface.
Parallel Communication 5, Lineprinter, HP-GL, LN03 Plus, imPRESS, ESP, CCITT, and PostScript), an optional emulation, or Hexdump. Selecting Hexdump generates a listing, in hexadecimal format, of all data received over the interface. Hexdump is useful for diagnosing communication problems. Min K Spool This five-digit value sets the minimum number of kilobytes of system memory dedicated to the Parallel interface. The range is 00000 to 99999 and the default is 00015.
Parallel Communication can be used at a time. The default is QMS EOD. Refer to QMS Crown Network Notes for more information on End Job Mode. Def Job Prio The Def Job Prio (Default Job Priority) option determines which jobs are printed first, according to the interface from which they are received, when jobs are received simultaneously. The range is from 001 to 100. The default is 001, which is the highest priority.
Parallel Communication A data byte is quoted by replacing it with a two-character sequence. The first character is a ^A (ASCII hex 0x01), and the second character is the character itself XORed with the ASCII value 0x40. For example, to send the value 0x14 (^T) as data, send the two character sequence 0x01 0x54 (^A T) instead.
AppleTalk Communication AppleTalk Communication The AppleTalk submenu allows you to configure the printer-host communications when using the AppleTalk interface. The AppleTalk submenu is shown below. » Note: AppleTalk does not have an option for Emulation. Only PostScript emulation jobs can be received over the AppleTalk interface. COMMUNICATIONS APPLETALK APPLETALK MODE APPLETALK DEF JOB PRIO APPLETALK CONNECTION APPLETALK MIN K SPOOL Mode There are two choices for Mode: Enabled and Disabled.
Optional Interface Connection The Connection set-up option defines the type of connection you are using. The options are Conventional and Spool, with Conventional being the default. Spool allows you to use the AppleTalk protocol that manages interaction between workstations and print servers. This option allows print spooling. Conventional does not provide print spooling. Select Conventional to print directly to the printer.
5 Emulations Submenu In This Chapter . . .
The Emulations Submenu The Emulations Submenu The options in the Emulations submenu of the Administration menu select the default values for the various document processing features of the QMS 3825/3225/2025 Print System. The Administration menu may be protected by a password. See chapter 2, “Installation Menu,” for more information. The Emulations submenu is shown below.
ESP Default Option ESP Default Option The ESP Default lets you set which emulation the printer uses if the Emulation Sensing Processor cannot identify the emulation of a print job. ESP has a specific length of time within which it attempts to identify the emulation (see “Timeouts” in chapter 4 of this manual). If this time expires, the printer automatically uses the emulation you select as ESP Default to process the job. The choices for ESP Default are those emulations supported by the printer.
PCL 5 PCL 5 The PCL 5 submenu contains settings for the default conditions of the HP LaserJet IIISi emulation. The illustration below shows the PCL 5 settings. EMULATIONS PCL 5 PCL 5 DOWNLD LOCATION PCL 5 DEFAULT FONT PCL 5 MONOCHROME GL/2 PCL 5 SYMBOL SET PCL 5 LINES/INCH X100 PCL 5 PCL 5 DEFAULT FONT IDX LINE TERMINATION PCL 5 PCL 5 SCALABLE FONTS POINT SIZEX100 PCL 5 RETAIN TEMPORARY Default Font The Default Font option has a selection of choices for the PCL 5 default font.

The default for Symbol Set is Roman-8.
PCL 5 Line Termination Line Termination sets the printer response to a carriage return or line feed character while in PCL 5 emulation. The choices are CR = CR, LF = LF CR = CR + LF, LF = LF CR = CR, LF = CR + LF CR or LF = CR + LF CR stands for carriage return. LF stands for line feed. The default is CR=CR, LF=LF. Point Size X100 This option sets the point size in hundredths for scalable default fonts (those listed with an asterisk [*] in the Default Font options).
PCL 5 Default Font Idx This option sets the default font index when the default font is set to select by index. The setting is a numeric value with a minimum of 0, a maximum of 32767, and a default equal to your Select by Index value. Monochrome GL/2 This option allows your printer to emulate a monochrome or color plotter. Options are On (sets the printer to monochrome, or 2-pen) and Off (sets the printer to color, or 8-pen).
LN03 Plus LN03 Plus The LN03 Plus emulation includes the following menu options: EMULATIONS LN03 PLUS LN03 PLUS ORIENTATION LN03 PLUS PRODUCT ID LN03 PLUS AUTOWRAP LN03 PLUS RESET OVERRIDE LN03 PLUS PAPER SIZE LN03 PLUS Y-ORIGIN INSET LN03 PLUS PAPER OVERRIDE LN03 PLUS X-ORIGIN INSET Product ID The Product ID setting is the emulation printer model. If your host sends a Device Attributes request to the printer, the printer responds with the product ID. You can select LN03, LQP02, or LA100.
LN03 Plus Paper Size The Default Paper option specifies the paper size that is to be used at power up or when no paper size is specified. Available paper sizes are Letter, A4, and Legal. The default value is Letter. Paper Override The Paper Override option sets the paper selection. The range of possible values is On and Off. The default value is Off. If set to Off, the emulation uses the transformation point for the size of paper selected and uses the current paper size (does not change paper trays).
PostScript Orientation The Orientation option specifies the orientation to be used by the LN03 Plus emulation. The range of possible values is Portrait and Landscape. The default value is Portrait. Portrait orientation has the y axis parallel to the long edge of the page. Landscape orientation has the y axis parallel to the short edge of the page. » Note: This option applies only to the LN03 Plus emulation.
Lineprinter Lineprinter The Lineprinter submenu contains settings for the default conditions for this emulation. The Lineprinter emulation prints simple byte-oriented lineprinter files. A byte-oriented lineprinter handles jobs consisting of a series of bytes, where lines are delimited by carriage returns and line feed characters. The illustration below shows the options within the Lineprinter emulation.
Lineprinter Font This option specifies the font to be used to print the current job. Any PostScript fonts available on the printer can be used. To see a list of PostScript fonts available, print an advanced status page. The default is Courier. Point Sz 100ths This option is a five-digit value which specifies, in increments of .01 point, the point size of the font to be used to print the current print job. The range is from 400 (4 points) to 25600 (256 points). The default is 00880 (8.8 points).
Lineprinter CR IS CRLF CRISCRLF determines whether each carriage return in the print job is translated to a carriage return/line feed combination. The choices are On and Off with Off being the default. FF IS CRFF This option stipulates whether each form feed in the print job is translated to a carriage return/form feed combination. The options are On and Off with On being the default. Orientation This option specifies whether text is printed Portrait or Landscape. The default is Portrait.
HP-GL HP-GL The HP-GL options contain settings for the default conditions of the HP-GL (plotter) emulation. The illustration below shows the HP-GL options. EMULATIONS HP-GL HP-GL PEN (1-8) HP-GL PLOTTER HP-GL SCALING PERCENT HP-GL HP-GL PAPER TYPE ORIGIN HP-GL HP-GL EXPAND MODE REVERSE IMAGE HP-GL ENHANCED MODE Plotter The Plotter option selects which type of HP-GL compatible plotter the QMS printer emulates for HP-GL jobs.

HP-GL Expand Mode The Expand Mode option expands the default scaling points (P1 and P2), the hard-clip plotting range, and the maximum plotting area to the imageable area of the QMS printer. The default value is Off (do not expand). Paper Type The Paper Type option allows you to scale an image to the defined paper size when printing a plot image. The choices are A (8.5" x 11"), A4 (210 mm x 297 mm), B (11" x 17"), A3 (297 mm x 420 mm), or Scale to Paper. The default value is Scale to Paper.
CCITT Groups 3 and 4 CCITT Groups 3 and 4 By adding the QMS DOC %%IncludeFeature:emulation (ccitt) to the beginning of your file, you can access the printer-resident CCITT Group 3 and 4 emulation. CCITT Commands The CCITT command language consists of ASCII text strings that set options for the CCITT emulation. The options must be set on a per-image basis because they are returned to their default values after each image is decompressed.
CCITT Groups 3 and 4 BitReverse Function Causes the CCITT emulation to reverse the bits within each byte of the image data automatically. Syntax %%BitReverse (true/false) Default true Indicates that the bits are to be reversed. false Indicates that the bits are not to be reversed. false BlockEnd Function Indicates whether a CCITT End of Block is included in the image data. Syntax %%BlockEnd (true/false) Default true Indicates that a BlockEnd is required in the image data.
CCITT Groups 3 and 4 DPI Function Sets the print resolution (dots per inch) to match the scanned resolution of the original image. Syntax %%DPI (horizontal vertical) horizontal Identifies the horizontal resolution. vertical Identifies the vertical resolution. Default Currently selected print system resolution. Notes This command can also be used to scale the image.
CCITT Groups 3 and 4 ImageData Function Instructs the emulation to begin decompression of the image data using the currently set image options. Syntax %%ImageData Default None—no options. Notes You must specify %%ImageSize before %%ImageData. If you do not, the data following %%ImageData is absorbed with no effect on the file. This command begins reading the image data after the end of the current line. After the image, the input stream is flushed until the next set of %% characters is encountered.
CCITT Groups 3 and 4 ImageSize Function Sets the image size to be used for decompression of the image data that follows the %%ImageData command. Syntax %%ImageSize (width height) width The width of the image in pixels. height The height of the image in pixels. Default None. Notes This command must be used in order to decompress an image. This command must be sent before the %%ImageData command. If it is not, the image is ignored.
CCITT Groups 3 and 4 JobEnd Function Signals the end of a CCITT print job and resets the printer to the default mode. Ends the job and returns the printer to ESP mode. Syntax %%JobEnd Default None—no options. Notes If this command is omitted, the printer remains in CCITT emulation mode until the emulation wait timeout expires (Administration/Timeouts/Emul Timeout menu). LineEnd Function Sets Line-End flags, which indicate whether CCITT end-of-lines are included in the image data.
CCITT Groups 3 and 4 PageEnd Function Instructs the emulation to eject the current page (whether or not any data has been printed to it) and clear the page memory. Syntax %%PageEnd Default None—no options. Notes You must include this command for a page to be printed. Image data must be included after this command. If an image has not been decompressed since the beginning of the job or since the last %%PageEnd, a blank page is ejected.
imPRESS imPRESS Using %%IncludeFeature:emulation(impress) QMS DOC, you can access the imPRESS full-page layout and graphics page description language. For details about imPRESS, see the QMS imPRESS Programming Language guide, provided on disk with your printer. Optional Emulations The QMS printer supports optional emulations, such as QUIC II. If an optional emulation is installed on the printer, the appropriate emulation options display in the Emulations submenu.
6 Special Pages and Startup Options Submenus In This Chapter . . .
The Special Pages Submenu The Special Pages Submenu The options in the Special Pages submenu allow you to configure your printer to print header and trailer pages, and select the type of status page you would like to print.
The Special Pages Submenu ing the two pages, it’s easy to see the difference in screens, in type quality, and in precision of curves and diagonal lines. To print a calibration page, go to the Administration/Special Pages/ Calibration page menu. Choices are Yes and No with a default of Yes. Select Yes, and a calibration page prints when you exit from the menu. Header Page A header page is a separator page that prints before a print job to help users sort out their jobs.
The Special Pages Submenu Trailer Inputbin This option selects the input bin from which the trailer page prints. Upper selects the upper bin, Lower selects the lower bin, and LCIT selects the optional large-capacity or large-large-capacity input tray, if one is installed. The default value is Upper. Status Page Type This option allows you to choose between the two different status pages, Standard and Advanced. The default is Standard.

ADMINISTRATION STARTUP OPTIONS STARTUP OPTIONS DO START PAGE STARTUP OPTIONS DO ERROR HANDLER STARTUP OPTIONS DO SYS START Do Start Page The Do Start Page option allows you to decide whether the printer produces a start-up page each time it is turned on.
The Startup Options Submenu Do Error Handler This option activates a debugging tool that allows you to identify PostScript errors during a print job. In order for a change to this option to take effect, the printer must be turned off and on. The options are Yes and No. The default is No. Refer to the PostScript Language Reference Manual (Adobe Systems Incorporated, Reading, MA: Addison-Wesley, 1990, ISBN 0201-18127-4) for more information on PostScript errors.
7 Memory Submenu In This Chapter . . .
Introduction Introduction Memory allows your printer to store and retrieve information that is required to perform many of its tasks. The memory requirements of each printer are dictated by the applications that are to be run. The memory is divided among blocks called “memory clients,” each of which is dedicated to a specific printing purpose.
QMS Memory Definitions The same is true for managing the memory on your printer. There is no single correct way for everyone to allocate printer memory. By evaluating your specific printing needs, you may find a way to configure your printer memory that is more efficient for you than the factory default settings. For example, if you use a large number of PostScript fonts of various point sizes, you may want to increase the amount of memory allocated to the area specified for PostScript fonts.
QMS Memory Definitions ROM stores read-only data, RAM represents temporary storage, and hard disks hold information on a more permanent basis. ROM (Read Only Memory)—This type of memory contains data and/ or machine-executable instructions that can be read but not modifi ed. On the QMS 3825/3225/2025 Print System, the operating system code, resident fonts, and resident emulations are stored in ROM. This information is not lost when the printer is turned off.
Evaluation of Your Printing Environment Non-volatile Memory—This type of memory is not lost when the printer loses power. 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-volatile RAM. This information is not lost when you turn off your printer.
Evaluation of Your Printing Environment Printer Features and Memory Clients To get started with your memory configuration, check the following table to see which features you use and which memory clients control them. Detailed descriptions of the clients begin on page 7-8. Feature 7-6 Memory Client Notes Hard disk Disk Cache An internal hard disk and optional external hard disks provide storage space for downloaded fonts and emulations.
Evaluation of Your Printing Environment Downloadable fonts PostScript Font Cache If you use many different fonts in many different sizes, you may need to dedicate memory to the PostScript Font Cache: — 128 to 256 KB for 300x300 dpi — 000 to 000 KB for 400x400 dpi — 256 to 512 KB for 600x600 dpi Remember that performance for RAM based fonts decreases if this client is set above its default.
Memory Submenu Memory Submenu This submenu allows you to allocate the system memory (RAM) among the various memory clients. Read the following sections to learn how to use the Memory submenu to best configure your printer’s memory.
Memory Clients you make changes in the Memory submenu, print out a status page to confirm the memory reallocation. (Refer to chapter 1, “Introduction,” for information on how to print a status page.) » Note: The value for each memory client must be divisible by 4 KB. If you enter a value that is not evenly divisible by 4 KB, it is converted to the next lower value that is divisible by 4 KB. For example, if you enter 102 KB, the value is lowered to 100 KB, assuming there is enough memory available.
Memory Clients Increasing an interface’s Min K Spool value subtracts from memory available for other purposes. For example, setting the serial interface Min K Spool to 20 KB takes an additional 5 KB away from the available memory. Increasing an interface’s dedicated spooling memory does not change the interface’s priority. All jobs received by the printer are handled on a first-come, first-served basis, regardless of the interface receiving the jobs.
Memory Clients As the font cache memory fills, the printer erases bitmapped characters that have been in the cache longer than the others without being used to make room for new characters. By increasing the memory allocated to this client, the printer can store more characters and spend less time erasing and replacing characters in the cache. Normally, you do not need to change this memory client unless you use a large number of fonts at various point sizes.
Memory Clients eliminate the unloading and reloading of these emulations and, consequently, increase throughput. Also, increase the emulation client if you are printing complex nonPostScript jobs that may require more memory to process correctly. The system will not allow you to set this memory client too low. The maximum value is 99999. The default is Variable.
Memory Clients Increasing the amount of memory in this client may improve printing throughput and minimize slowdowns due to duplexing, collating, or printing complex pages. When large jobs are sent to the printer for multiple collated copies, the printer may collate a chunk — perhaps 50 pages of each copy — before starting another chunk. Increasing the Display List memory can increase the size of collated chunks so you have less hand sorting to do. The Display List is also the excess memory client.
Memory Clients The recommended amount of memory for the disk cache client is: » ■ 120 KB minimum, plus ■ .5 KB per MB of disk storage up to 256 MB, plus ■ 0.25 KB per MB of disk storage between 256 MB and 512 MB Note: As the size of the disks double, the needed disk cache per MB of storage is reduced by half. For example, the recommended disk cache client size for a 270 MB hard disk would be 252 KB and for a 340 MB hard disk 269 KB. The system will not allow you to set this memory client too low.
8 Engine, Miscellaneous, and Disk Operations Submenus In This Chapter . . .
Engine Submenu Engine Submenu The options in the Engine submenu allow you to adjust image alignment, select a default paper size, name the input and output bins, set resolution and gamma correction, and use two advanced duplexing options. This submenu also allows you to turn off a MAINTENANCE DUE message after maintenance has been performed.
Engine Submenu Image Alignment Image Align is a numeric value for adjusting the placement of the printed image on the page. There are four types of image alignment: horizontal offset, duplex horizontal offset, vertical offset, and duplex vertical offset. Values for each setting range from 0 to 300 (1"/25.4 cm) pixels with a default of 100. Usually, you do not need to use image alignment to adjust image placement. To check the alignment, print a standard status page on letter-size paper.
Engine Submenu Image Alignment Guidelines Simplex Pages — Use this table to determine which value to adjust and whether to increase or decrease it to get the desired results: To move image with this feed edge up down right left and this orientation adjust this control: short edge portrait horizontal below 100 horizontal above 100 vertical above 100 vertical below 100 short edge landscape vertical below 100 vertical above 100 horizontal below 100 horizontal above 100 long edge portrait ver
Engine Submenu Default Paper The Default Paper option is the paper type the printer uses if a print job requests the default input bin, but the default input bin is not inserted. The choices are Letter or A4. The default is Letter. Input Bin and Output Bin Names The choices for input bin and output bin names are alphanumeric values that allow you to assign a logical name to each bin. For example, you may want to load the upper input bin (1) with pre-punched paper and assign it the name “3hole.
Engine Submenu Gamma Correction Gamma correction improves printer output by creating a more gradual change from white to black. However, because some jobs may benefit from the sharper contrast in uncorrected output, you have the option of turning off gamma correction. The choices are 0 (gamma correction is turned off) and 1 (gamma correction is turned on). The default is 1. Letterhead This option appears only if the duplexing unit is installed.
Engine Submenu Rotate Duplex This option, which appears only when the optional duplexing unit is installed, rotates the image 180° to accommodate duplex printing on pre-punched letterhead paper. Feeding prepunched paper with the punched edge first can cause paper jams. If you set rotate duplex to No, you can feed the paper face down with the un-punched edge first. The options are No and Yes and the default is Yes. See the chart below for further information.
Engine Submenu Resolution This option sets the default printer resolution for documents. Each printer has a lower resolution, 300x300 dpi, for everyday memos and drafts, and a higher setting for camera-ready work. The higher setting on the 3825 Print System is 600x600 dpi. The higher setting on the 3225/2025 Print System is 400x400 dpi. The higher setting is the default.
Miscellaneous Options default is On. Refer to chapter 3, “Periodic Maintenance,” of your user’s guide for additional information on maintenance. Miscellaneous Options The options in the Miscellaneous submenu of the Administration menu allow you to restore the factory default values to all configuration menu options, to adjust the printer’s internal clock, to change the printer name, and to change the printer type.
Miscellaneous Options Clock Operations This option is used to set the printer’s date and time that appears on header and trailer pages. This has been pre-set at the factory. The two choices are Set Clock and Adjust Clock. Use Set Clock to set the day, month, year, and time (in military time). Day, month, and year are listed choices, and the time is a numeric value. The default is variable. Adjust Clock is used to correct the clock if it is running faster or slower than real time.
The Disk Operations Submenu The Disk Operations Submenu The options in the Disk Operations submenu allow you to perform file operations using the printer’s internal hard disk and optional external hard disks. » Note: Always turn on all external hard disks before turning on the printer.
