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 mode (for example, PostScript emu-
lation only, HP PCL only, or HP-GL emulation only). The default printer communication
settings can be changed through the Configuration menu, which you access through
the control panel—in the Administration/Communications menu, you can choose a
default emulation for the parallel and serial interfaces, and in the Administration/Emu-
lations menu, you can configure the printer defaults for each emulation mode. (The
optional LocalTalk interface uses only PostScript.)
Advanced users can also use PostScript operators to reconfigure printer ports. Gener-
ally, it is best to keep your printer in ESP mode. Since ESP mode is the factory default,
all you have to do to use it initially is connect your host to the printer and then send a
file.
If you do want to reconfigure the interface ports for specific emulations (or if you need
to return the printer to ESP mode), use the printer’s control panel (the Administration/
Communications menu). Configuring the printer through the control panel is described
in chapter 2, “Printer Configuration,” of this manual.

Memory allows your printer to store and retrieve information that’s required when per-
forming many of its tasks. The memory requirements of each printer are dictated by
the applications to be run. Each printer comes standard with a certain amount of
memory, but you can add more memory as necessary.
The memory is divided among users (or “clients”), each of which are allocated a spe-
cific amount (or “block”) of memory. Each memory client is dedicated to a specific pur-
pose. Your QMS 3260/4032 Print System allows you to distribute its memory among
the various memory clients where it can best serve your specific printing needs. The
following sections provide information on memory management so you can get the
most from your printer.
Generally, there are two main reasons for wanting to reconfigure your printer’s
memory:
