2 Printer Configuration In This Chapter . . .
Configuring the Printer Configuring the Printer Configuring the QMS 4525 Print System involves setting default printer options to meet your printing requirements. Examples of common configuration options are default page size, default number of copies, and default font. You may find that many of the factory default configuration settings suit your needs, but you may have to change some of them.
Configuring the Printer When in normal mode with display message mode enabled, status conditions that require user intervention display on a local or remote console . The default to display status conditions on a local console is normal mode, the default for a remote console is silent mode. Reverse channel is seen in normal mode, and not in silent mode. For example, status conditions may indicate that paper is low, output bins are full, or a paper jam has occurred.

Configuring the Printer Network print commands usually affect only an individual print job. However, when automatically sent from a print queue, network print commands are added to every job sent from that print queue. Network print commands may or may not override application commands, depending on the way the queue is set up. See your system administrator.
Printer Status Page Printer Status Page Before you start configuring the printer, you should have a status page so you can see the current default settings of many of the printer configuration options. Printing Status Pages Printing a status page is a two-step procedure: Identify the type of status page to print and then print it.
Using the Control Panel German. The control panel layout is uncluttered, and the keys are large and clearly marked. When the printer is on line and idle (ready to accept a print job), this is what the control panel looks like IDLE Many of the control panel keys have different functions when the printer is off line and when it is on line. For descriptions of the keys when the printer is off line, see “Printer Configuration” later in this chapter.
Using the Control Panel Line Toggles the printer between on line and off line. The two lights above the key indicate the current status. Cancel Cancels all jobs that are currently being processed or printed, or sends an end-of-job indicator to a print job waiting for incoming data. Print jobs that are spooled begin printing after current jobs are cancelled or ended. Message Display The control panel message display is a single-line display with two fields.

3 Operator Control and Installation Menus In This Chapter . . .
The Operator Control Menu The Operator Control Menu The Operator Control menu has options that set the default values of the various paper handling features of the QMS 4525 Print System. The default values set through this menu are used in the absence of an emulation (such as application or printer language) or DOC command setting (which also includes network print commands).
Duplex Duplex The Duplex option enables printing on both sides of a sheet. The default setting is Off. Unless you want all jobs printed in duplex mode, do not change the default setting. The best way to specify duplex printing is through your application. In that case, use it to turn duplex mode On and Off, and leave this option set to Off. The illustration below shows the duplex and tumble duplex options. Tumble Duplex The Tumble Duplex option controls the default settings for duplex mode.
Collation Collation The Collation option enables or disables collated stacking of multiple copies in the output bins. The default setting is On. The illustration below shows the difference between collation on and collation off. See appendix E, “Manual Updates,” for more information on collation.

Otherwise, print from the other bin if it has paper. If both bins are empty, stop and prompt the user to load any paper in any bin. yes no no Stop and prompt you to load the desired paper in the desired bin.
Chain Inputbins illustration below shows the locations of the output bins on a 20-bin sorter. 6RUWHU 2XWSXW %LQV 6LGH 2XWSXW %LQ Chain Inputbins The Chain Inputbins option specifies whether or not the printer switches to the other inputbin (if it contains the same size paper) when the current inputbin is empty. The default setting for Chain Inputbin is Off.
Accounting Accounting The following three types of accounting are available with your QMS 4525 Print System: Crown Accounting If your printer is connected to a host, standard QMS Crown accounting is available to you on the QMS 4525 Print System. Standard Network Management Systems (SNMP) If your printer is connected to a network via TCP/IP, you have standard QMS Crown accounting and SNMP accounting (the standard system for managing the network provides).
Accounting Accounting Menu The Accounting menu is under the Operator Control Menu. This menu enables or disables job accounting, allocates disk space when accounting is enabled, resets accounting, lets you store job accounting information in a single job file or in multiple files, and copies the accounting information to floppy disk. Job accounting information can be stored in a single file if it can be retrieved using the file transfer protocol (ftp) on your host.
Accounting are removed. If only one file is used and it is not empty, it cannot be shrunk. If no accounting information exists in the system when shrinking the usage, the Job Accounting file(s) is (are) recreated using the new size. The printer does not ask for confirmation for this operation. It takes effect immediately. The amount of space required for each job can vary between 200 and 250 bytes so you can store information for 4000 to 5000 jobs for each 1 MB in the Job Accounting file.

Accounting How Crown Accounting Works As jobs are printed on the QMS 4525 printer, the system collects information about different job parameters in relation to the jobs. When each job completes, the printer stores an entry for the job in the Job Accounting file(s). 2 &DXWLRQ 'R QRW WXUQ WKH SULQWHU RII ZKLOH WKH GLVN LV EHLQJ DFFHVVHG 'RLQJ VR PD\ FDXVH LQFRQVLVWHQFLHV LQ WKH LQIRUPDWLRQ VWRUHG The following accounting files are stored in the path DSK6:/ admin: Job Accounting File (ACCx.
Accounting Accounting File Format Description The ASCII file format chosen allows the file to be extended by tagging each field in each record in each of the accounting files. New fields can be added by creating new tag identifiers for the new fields. This allows backward compatibility for existing filters when the accounting files evolve in future versions. A version field is included to identify the supported fields as the system evolves.
Accounting simplicity at the expense of using 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.

7 Memory Menu In This Chapter . . .
Memory Menu Memory Menu The memory menu allows you to allocate system memory (RAM) among the various memory clients. Read the following sections to learn how to use the Memory menu to best configure your printer's memory. Administration / Memory Menu K Mem K Mem K Mem K Mem K Mem K Mem For Spool For PSHeap PS Fonts Emulation Display Disk Cache Memory: An Overview Memory allows your printer to store and retrieve information that is required to perform many of its tasks.
Memory: An Overview The ability to configure your printer's memory does not necessarily mean that you must change your current configuration. If you are presently using all the features you need, and the printer is performing efficiently, you should not feel compelled to reconfigure your printer's memory.
QMS Memory Definitions QMS Memory Definitions Before you can configure your printer's memory efficiently, you must first understand the different types of memory and how they work together. QMS Crown documentation uses the following memory terms: Memory—Memory allows your printer to store and retrieve information. It is the space within your printer where information is stored while being actively worked on. Memory Clients—A memory client is a block of memory dedicated to a specific function.
QMS Memory Definitions 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 frame buffer and spooling buffer are RAM disk clients. Hard Disk—The QMS 4525 Print System comes standard with a 200 MB internal hard disk. The hard disk serves as secondary storage places for such items as downloaded fonts and emulations.
Evaluation of Your Printing Environment Evaluation of Your Printing Environment The first step in allocating your printer's memory is to define your printing needs. Each of your printer's features requires a minimum amount of memory. If you use a feature, you must allocate enough memory to the client which controls it. On the other hand, if there are features you do not use, you can move excess memory in the clients which control the unused features to other clients that need additional memory.
Memory Clients 13 Will you want to download fonts, forms, or operators to memory? 14 Will you be duplexing documents? 15 Will you be collating documents? If so, how large and complex will these documents be? 16 What paper sizes will you be using? After you have answered all of these questions, read the following section to see which memory clients control the features you plan to use and which memory clients control features you do not need.
Memory Clients increasing paper size, or printing at a higher resolution, may require increasing the amount of memory allocated to this client to boost print speed and overall system throughput. If not enough memory is allocated to this client, memory is taken from the display list to complete a print job. The frame buffer memory client is not configurable on the QMS 4525 Print System, but you can manipulate this client by taking memory from other clients.
Memory Clients will not allow you to set this memory client below its minimum setting. The range is 128 to 10240 KB. The default value is 06464. 1RWH :KLOH LQFUHDVLQJ WKLV FOLHQW LV EHQHILFLDO LQ UHGXFLQJ QHWZRUN WUDIILF WKURXJKSXW VSHHG LV QRW QHFHVVDULO\ LQFUHDVHG If you change the K Mem for Spool value, the printer automatically restarts after you save your changes and exit from the configuration menu.
Memory Clients (15 KB) is added to the available float memory. Each interface menu has a mode setting that allows you to disable it. K Mem for PS Heap Also known as PS Heap, PostScript VM, and Virtual Memory, this client holds downloaded fonts, PostScript operators, and forms. Inefficiently coded PostScript jobs can consume an infinite amount of virtual memory or leave objects in the PostScript heap after the print jobs are completed, leading to virtual memory errors.
Memory Clients Normally, you do not need to change this memory client unless you use a large number of fonts at various point sizes. If you do, you may allocate additional memory to this client to improve printer performance. There is no specific formula to use in figuring the amount of memory required by the font cache, but after a certain point, large font caches cause the printer to take longer to print than smaller font caches because of the search time through the cache.
Memory Clients restarts after you save your changes and exit from the configuration menu K Mem Emul Temp Also known as 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, QMS Crown printers can perform context switching, which is the ability to retain downloaded fonts and forms even after the printer changes from one emulation to another.
Memory Clients memory client below its minimum setting. The range is 3072 to 307200 KB. The default value is 111056. If you change the K Mem for PS Fonts value, the printer automatically restarts after you save your changes and exit from the configuration menu K Mem Disk Cache Number of kilobytes of RAM dedicated to the disk cache. This memory client is also known as disk cache. It stores frequently used data in system memory instead of continually storing and retrieving it from a hard disk.

9 Using the Sorter In This Chapter . . .
Introduction Introduction If your QMS 4525 Print System was purchased with a sorter it has one of the following sorters: 20-bin sorter 40-bin sorter The QMS 4525 Print System comes with either a 20-bin sorter or a 40-bin sorter, as shown below. 406 ZLWK %LQ 6RUWHU 406 ZLWK %LQ 6RUWHU Using either of the sorters involves 9-2 Configuring a sorter with the Sorter Setup menu. Specifying one of the sorter bins as the default output bin.
Introduction These steps are described on the following pages. Configuring a Sorter Use the Sorter Setup menu to Set the maximum capacity of the sorter bins Select one of four default binmaps Modify the four default binmaps The Sorter Setup menu appears under the Engine Setup menu only if your printer has a sorter installed. Engine Setup / Sortup Setup Menu Maximum Capacity Choose Binmap Modify Binmap Maximum Capacity The Maximum Capacity option sets the maximum capacity of all sorter bins.
Introduction templates for the four default binmaps. For example, Map # 1 is the default template for binmap 1. Map # 2 is the default template for binmap 2, and so on. If these templates suit all of your sorting needs, you need go no farther. If none of the four templates meet your needs, you can assign any of the remaining templates 5 through 12 for a 20-bin sorter, or 5 through 21 for a 40-bin sorter, to any of the four binmaps.

Introduction many print jobs will exceed the maximum capacity of each physical bin, additional bin capacity is often needed. To obtain larger bin capacity, you can combine two or more physical bins into a “logical” bin. This is called “bin mapping.” For instance, if you routinely print reports that approach 500 pages in length and you use 20 lb paper, you can map five physical bins into a single logical bin that would hold the entire report.
Introduction Use binmap templates to select some of the most common physical to logical bin assignments. Sorter Setup / Modify Binmap / Binmaps 1 Thru 4 Separation Sort Mode Next Bin Not Empty Bin Groups Logical Bin Names Binmap Templates Separation Use the Separation option to enable or disable print job separation within a logical bin. Separate Jobs Each print job will be deposited in the next physical bin of a logical bin.
Introduction Local Sort Multiple copies of a print job will be deposited within a single logical bin. Global Sort Each copy of a print job will be deposited in the next logical bin. Next Bin Not Empty If Job or Copy Separation is enabled, you can use the Next Bin Not Empty menu to cause the printer to deposit the next print job in the next bin even if the bin is not empty, or to wait for the next bin to be emptied before continuing to print.
Emptying Sorter Bins Binmap Templates The Binmaps Templates option provides a shorthand method of setting bin groups. Binmap templates are used to assign physical sorter bins to logical bins. Emptying Sorter Bins The sorter automatically detects if a bin is empty and it counts the number of sheets deposited in a bin to determine when a bin is full. A bin holds a maximum of 100 sheets of 16-27 lb (60-100 g/m2) paper or 50-sheets of 27-53 lb (100-200 g/m2) paper .
Default Sorter Bin Default Sorter Bin Use the Outputbin option in the Operator Control menu to select the side outputbin or one of the sorter bins as the default outputbin. Remember that the sorter bins listed in this option are logical bins.

10 Stacker/Stapler In This Chapter . . .
Introduction Introduction If your printer is equipped with a stacker/stapler, use this chapter to Set up and use the stacker/stapler Here’s how the QMS 4525 Print System looks with a stacker/stapler installed: The stacker/stapler provides normal printed output, stapling, and offset stacking of print jobs.
Setting Up the Stacker/Stapler this chapter) gathers output into batches of 35 sheets or less to be stapled. Upper bin The upper bin receives stapled print jobs, offset-stacked print jobs, and stapled offset print jobs. It also receives overflow when the stacker bin is full. See “Emptying Output Bins” later in this chapter. Stacker bin The stacker bin receives stapled or unstapled print jobs. Offset stacking is also available. See “Bin Capacities” and “Emptying Output Bins” later in this chapter.
Setting Up the Stacker/Stapler The stacker/stapler has three operating modes: Separated Stapled and unstapled print jobs are separated: all stapled jobs are deposited in the upper bin, and print jobs that are not stapled are deposited in the stacker bin. Continuous Continuous mode delivers stapled or unstapled print jobs to the stacker bin until it is full. Output then switches to the upper bin until it, too, is full.
Setting Up the Stacker/Stapler lected into batches of 35 sheets or less before being stapled and stacked (see illustration) in the upper or lower output bins. ,QWHUQDO %DWFK 7UD\ 1RWH 6WDSOLQJ UHTXLUHV DW OHDVW WZR VKHHWV SHU SULQW MRE 7KHUHIRUH EDWFK WUD\ FDSDFLW\ PXVW EH VHW DW WZR RU PRUH VKHHWV IRU VWDSOLQJ WR RFFXU Normally, a maximum of 35 sheets of 30 lb. (80 g/m2) paper can be batched in the internal batch tray.
Setting Up the Stacker/Stapler Output Bin Names Use the Outputbin Name option in the Finisher Setup menu to name the stacker/stapler output bins. You can name the lower output bin and the upper output bin. The bin names can be up to 16 characters in length. Offset Stacking If your printer has a stacker/stapler installed, the Offset Stacking option enables or disables offset stacking. The default setting for Offset Stacking is On.
11 Printer-Host Connection In This Chapter . . .
Introduction Introduction An interface is the point at which two elements connect so they can work together. The printer-host communications interface is the way a printer connects to and works with a host (for example, a microcomputer, minicomputer, mainframe computer, or a network), and involves both hardware and software.
Simultaneous Interface Operation (SIO) These ports are located on the interface panel on the back of the printer and are labeled (see illustration below).
Emulation Sensing Processor (ESP) Emulation Sensing Processor (ESP) ESP technology is another standard feature of Crown architecture. 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 (for example, PostScript, PCL 5, imPRESS, or Lineprinter) from those installed on the printer.
Connecting via the LocalTalk Port Connecting via the LocalTalk Port Connecting to the LocalTalk port involves Assembling the proper interface cabling (use a LocalTalktype kit such as Farallon's PhoneNET, available from your QMS vendor) Making the connection Making sure the necessary printing files are installed on the Macintosh The LocalTalk port is used to print if Your host is any member of the Apple Macintosh family.
Connecting via the LocalTalk Port nating resistors if you are connecting the printer to a single Macintosh.) Host Printer DIN-8 Female Port 9-Pin Female DIN-8 Male Connector 9-Pin Male Transformer Boxes RJ11 Cable Terminating Resistors Your PhoneNET and Macintosh documentation contains further information on AppleTalk networks and the proper termination of the transformer boxes. Making the Connection Use the following procedure to connect your printer to the host.
Macintosh Printing Software 5 Turn on the printer. Macintosh Printing Software Once the Macintosh and printer are physically connected by the LocalTalk cable, you must make sure the necessary printer software files (for example, printer drivers and printer description files) are installed on the Macintosh so it can communicate with the printer.
Macintosh Printing Software Macintosh Printer Drivers To be able to print from your applications, you must have a QMS 4525 Print System-compatible driver installed on your Macintosh. Most Macintosh applications use the Apple LaserWriter driver that comes with the Macintosh system software. However, we recommend installing the LaserWriter 8.
Macintosh Printing Software 12 Choose the Setup button. 13 Choose the Select PPD button to set up printer-specific features. (Choose the AutoSetup button to set up the printer automatically.). 14 Choose QMS 4525 Print System. 15 Choose Select. Now you can access printer features (such as multiple bins) by choosing Options in the Print dialog box. Choose Help in the Options dialog box for information on these options.
Macintosh Printing Software QuarkXPress application. Check your QuarkXPress documentation for details. Aldus PageMaker 4.2 and higher use PPD and PDX files. The PDX works in conjunction with the standard PPD to expand printer capabilities. The PPD and PDX must be placed in the PPDs folder within the Aldus folder inside your System Folder. Aldus PageMaker 4.01 and earlier use the APD file. The APD gives PageMaker information specific to your printer type.
Connecting via the Parallel Port 4 Select the printing options you want to use, then click OK. If no page prints, check the “Apple Macintosh Checklist” in chapter 6 of the QMS 4525 Print System User's Guide . Connecting via the Parallel Port Parallel communication is faster than serial communication, so it is best if A parallel port is available on your host The host and printer are within 6.
Connecting via the Parallel Port 1 Attach the 36-pin printer end of the cable to the parallel port on the printer, then close the clips. Computer Printer 25-Pin Female 36-Pin Female Amphenol 25-Pin Male 36-Pin Male Amphenol Parallel 2 Attach the other end of the cable to the host's parallel port. 3 The factory default parallel settings (PostScript, 8 data bits) are appropriate for most parallel communications. Use the printer control panel to set up parallel communication, if necessary.
Connecting via the Parallel Port Testing Parallel Communication To test communication between your printer and host, first create a short file that ejects a page from the printer. Then send the file to the printer. Creating the Test File To create the test file, type the following commands at the DOS prompt (you can use either uppercase or lowercase letters; however, you must type the PostScript showpage operator in lowercase letters). The symbol means to press the Enter key.
Connecting via the Serial Port delete it. Then type mode lpt1:,,p in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file so that print jobs are sent until the printer accepts them. Reboot your computer and try the communication test again. If the communication test still does not work, see chapter 6, “Troubleshooting,” in the User's Guide and refer to your DOS documentation for more information. Refer to appendix B, “Cable Pinouts,” for cable pinout information.
Connecting via the Serial Port The standard serial cable has a 25-pin male (DB25) connector on the printer end and either a 9-pin female connector or a 25-pin female connector on the host. The serial cable is a null modem cable.
Connecting via the Serial Port Use the printer control panel to set up serial communication (described earlier in this manual). 4 In your applications, select a QMS 4525-compatible printer driver. If you use other than a QMS 4525-compatible driver with this printer, you may be able to print, but you may not be able to take advantage of all the printer's features. See your application documentation for more information.
Connecting via the Serial Port copy con printest.ps↵ showpage↵ ^D^Z↵ Sending the Test File To test serial communication, type this command at the DOS prompt to send the PRINTEST.PS file you just created to the printer: print printest.ps↵ If prompted for the name of the list device, type com1↵ If the printer and host are communicating, a blank page ejects from the printer. If a blank page does not eject and you typed the file correctly, check the following: In your AUTOEXEC.
Connecting via the Serial Port If the communication test still does not work, see chapter 6 in the QMS 4525 Print System User's Guide and refer to your DOS documentation for more information. Changing Serial Port Settings Since your printer is configured at the factory for the most typical printing environments, the serial port settings in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and on the start-up page are probably the same.
Connecting via the Serial Port 5 Press the Enter key to enter the Serial menu, then press the Next key one or more times until SERIAL BAUD RATE displays. 6 Press the Enter key to enter the Baud Rate menu. The currently selected baud rate displays: COMMUNICATIONS 7 Press the Next key to cycle through the list of baud rates.
PC Printing Software If you do not want to change other serial settings, press the Line key. SAVE CHANGES? NO displays. To save your change, press the Next key so that the message window displays SAVE CHANGES? YES Press the Enter key to save the change. The On indicator lights, and IDLE displays. 9 To verify the changes you just made, turn the printer off, then back on. Compare the printer's start-up page to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
PC Printing Software puter. For example, through PS Exec you can turn off the start-up page, rename the printer, download fonts, print font samples, and manage hard disks. Many of the procedures described in this manual involve using PS Exec. The README file on the PS Executive disk explains how to install the program, and the on-line help explains how to use it. Installing a PostScript Printer Driver If you're using Windows, we recommend that you install the QMS-developed Windows driver (QSCRIPT.
Connecting via an Optional Network Interface You may be able to obtain PC screen fonts from your application manufacturer. Connecting via an Optional Network Interface In addition to the three standard interfaces LocalTalk, parallel, and serial, your printer has the option of using one or two network interfaces, such as DECnet, TCP/IP, Novell NetWare, and EtherTalk on Ethernet networks, and TCP/IP and Novell NetWare on Token-Ring networks.

E Manual Updates
Introduction Introduction This appendix provides updated information on the DOC commands or PostScript operators that are supported on your QMS 4525 Print System (with the optional stacker/stapler), but are usually documented in other QMS manuals. This information will be merged into the QMS manuals listed in this section, as they are revised. But until then, the information in this appendix supersedes the following information in the QMS Crown Document Option Command manual (part number 1800216-001E).
QMS Crown Technical Reference Manual Updates the stacker/stapler unit is not present on your QMS 4525 Print System and you send these commands, they will be accepted with no effect on printing or the operation of the printer. QMS Crown Technical Reference Manual Updates Communications PS Protocol Your QMS 4525 Print System supports a new protocol for communication between the printer and a host computer over a serial, parallel, or optional interface connection. This new protocol is called PS protocol.
QMS Crown Technical Reference Manual Updates ^S DC3 0x13 XOFF in XON/XOFF flow control ^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.
QMS Crown Technical Reference Manual Updates 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. Print jobs can alter the PS protocol value through PostScript operators. Normal Fixed Enables standard, ASCII hex protocol. Print jobs can not alter this value through PostScript operators. Quoted Binary Enables binary communications protocol.
QMS Crown Technical Reference Manual Updates Advantages The main advantage of using the Binary, Fixed Binary, Quoted Binary, and Quoted Fixed Binary PS protocol modes when sending binary data is that these modes compress the data stream allowing your documents to be smaller so you can send smaller jobs to the printer. For example, some device drivers can format bit map images as binary data instead of as ASCII hex data.
QMS Crown Technical Reference Manual Updates The NVRAM values are boolean, so they are translated to integers in the following manner: 1 A false value is translated to zero. 2 A true value is translated to three (use at end of set). Command Syntax Purpose Errors staplemode staplemode integer Reports the current value of staplemode limitcheck, stackoverflow Command Syntax Purpose setstaplemode integer setstaplemode -Sets the value of staplemode.
QMS Crown Technical Reference Manual Updates Command Syntax Purpose Notes If you change the default value for stapling it does not affect the current job. However, if the default value is changed, the engine's nvram values for staples are also changed. Errors limitcheck, stackoverflow Command Syntax Purpose E-8 defaultstaplemode defaultstaplemode integer Reports the default staplemode. setdefaultstaplemode integer defaultstaplemode -Sets the default staplemode.
QMS Crown Technical Reference Manual Updates Command Syntax Purpose Parameter Range setjogmode integer setjogmode -Sets the value of jogmode.This value is the default jogging mode for the current print job.
QMS Crown Technical Reference Manual Updates Command Syntax Purpose setdefaultjogmode integer setdefaultjogmode -Sets the default jogmode. This does not take effect until the start of the next job. Parameter integer Range 0 to 4 0—Do not jog 3—Jog at each set Notes If you change the default value for jogging it does not affect the current job. However, if the default value is changed, the engine's nvram values for jogging are also changed.
QMS Document Option Commands (DOC) Purpose dots per inch Default Current engine resolution (300) Range 1 to 9999 QMS Document Option Commands (DOC) The following new or updated DOC commands are supported on the 4525 Print System (with the optional stacker/stapler unit). See the QMSCrown Document Option Commands manual, for information on all other supported DOC commands.
QMS Document Option Commands (DOC) Parameter: value Purpose: Specifies the rotation of the lineprinter document sheets. Default: portrait Range: portrait, landscape Notes: 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. This command applies only to the Lineprinter emulation.
QMS Document Option Commands (DOC) LN03 Plus Emulation Command: Syntax: Purpose: Print Orientation %%IncludeFeature: orient(value) Specifies the orientation that the LN03 plus emulation will use. Parameter: value Purpose: Specifies the rotation of the LN03 plus emulation document sheets Default: portrait Range: portrait,landscape Notes: 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.
QMS Document Option Commands (DOC) Layout Terminology Border The rectangles formed after applying the physical sheet size, orientation, margins, number of rows and columns, and the row and column spacing (in that order) are called logical page spots. When borders are selected, they are drawn at the logical page spot. Logical page A logical sheet or logical page is the image that is produced by the emulation.
QMS Document Option Commands (DOC) Command: Syntax: Purpose: Printing Borders %%IncludeFeature: border(value ) Draws a border at the page spot. The width of the border (thickness of the stroke) is given by the value whose units are centipoints (1/7200 inch). The outside of the border corresponds to the rectangle defined by the page spot so the thickness of the border is entirely within the page spot.

A session is a means of grouping multiple documents, including documents created in different emulations, to form one larger document which can be treated as a single entity by QMS Crown printers.
Sessions Despite their different printer description languages, subjobs can be combined in a single session that maintains global features, such as duplex mode, copy count, document layout, and collation. A session also gives you the flexibility to override the major document’s global printing attributes for one or more subjobs.
Sessions acceptable to an emulation, including 8-bit data, to be transferred to the printer without terminating documents or subjobs early and out of context.
Sessions Session Command Syntax Purpose %%Session: mode argument terminator Signal the start of a subjob within a session. Parameter mode argument Purpose Specify the argument of the %%Session command. Default none (job does not consist of subjobs) Range 0 length—Specifies the byte count for the end of subjob. The maximum possible value is 2147483647. A length of 0 means ignore the byte count terminator.
Sessions Notes Since each subjob may use a different end-of-subjob argument, the %%Session: ... command sequence must be inserted at the beginning of each subjob to specify the end-of-subjob argument for that particular subjob. There are two methods to signal the end of a subjob, end by count and end by delimiter. Both methods may be used within one document, but each subjob may only use one method. End by Count—You can specify how many bytes are contained in the current subjob.
Sessions use of language-specific terminators to end subjobs for the remainder of the document. If a valid %%Session command is encountered, the printer processes all of the data up to the end of that subjob. Once the subjob terminates and more data arrives from the host computer, the printer checks again to see if the subsequent data consists of a new %%Session command to start the next subjob. Again, if the text at the start of the subsequent subjob does not match %% Session: ...

Sessions Sessions Document Finishing Terminology Newlayout The newlayout command is the mechanism that allows groups of subjobs to use the same layout features. A layout may be specified once for an entire document or altered for individual subjobs using the newlayout command. Collation range Collation range is a group of consecutively delivered pages to which the same settings of collation and offset parameters apply. When collation is On, the set of pages can match the collation range.
Sessions Document Finishing DOC Commands Command Collate Document Syntax %%IncludeFeature: collate( value) Purpose Enables or disables collation of multiple copies. Parameter value Default Control panel specific. See the Configuration menu if the command is not present. Range on, off on—Enables collation. off—Disables collation. Notes If the command is used but the value is omitted or is outside of the range for the command, the printer's Configuration menu value is used.
Sessions Range on, off on—Enables jogging after each set. off—Disables jogging. Notes A jogging value specified through QMS DOC overrides any specification from the printer's Configuration menu. Offset stacking or jogging is applied after a job or set prints on the QMS 4525 Print System. Command Start New Layout Syntax %%IncludeFeature: newlayout(value) Purpose Used when a document has more than one subjob and you want to control whether different subjobs have the same format.
Sessions Range off, on, collate, on collate off—Ignores any changes to layout or collation properties specified at this subjob boundary via DOC. The layout and collation properties in effect with the previous subjob remain in effect. This command is equivalent to the absence of the %%IncludeFeature: newlayout command altogether.
About Collation, Stapling, and Jogging on collate—Allows a change in both the layout properties and in the collation properties at this subjob boundary. Any QMS DOC settings for standard commands (such as layout, document finishing, or document formatting) which are specified in the current subjob will replace the previous values of these settings inherited from the previous subjobs. All other settings inherited from the previous subjobs in the document remain unchanged.
Collation when jogging occurs at the end of the last set being depicted in the example. Table Conventions In the output column of tables in this section, each page is identified by an uppercase letter indicating which subjob the page belongs to, and by a digit indicating the page number within the subjob. For example, “A1” indicates the first page within subjob A. The set or collation range boundaries are delimited by parentheses “( )”. Stapled ranges of pages are delimited by square brackets “[ ]”.
Collation The examples above show that there is no difference in the printing order for a single copy of a document. But in contrast, the examples below show what happens when multiple copies is added to this same scenario.
Collation lated document. The order of printing is copy 1(a), copy 2(a), copy 3(a), copy 4(a), copy 1(b), copy 2(b), copy 2(c), and copy 2(d). 8 7 6 5 8 4 3 2 1 7 6 5 8 4 3 2 1 7 6 5 8 7 6 5 Copy 4(a) Copy 3(a) Copy 2(a) Copy 1(a) Copy 4(b) Copy 3(b) Copy 2(b) Copy 1(b) 4 3 2 1 4 3 2 1 Collation Advantage The main advantage of collation is user convenience and the time savings derived from not having to separate and sort individual copies of a document.
Collation < /Collate true > setpagedevice % collate on < /Collate false > setpagedevice % collate off There is also a systemdict operator (level 1 or 2): systemdict begin true _setcollation end % collate on systemdict begin false _setcollation end % collate off A collation value specified through the emulation overrides any specification from the QMS DOC collate command or from the printer's Configuration menu.
Collation sion up to any subjob that has %%IncludeFeature, with the exception of a subjob that has %%IncludeFeature: newlayout (on collate) in the DOC header to explicitly start a new collation range. The newlayout command allows the system defaults, the DOC staple command, or the value indicated in setpagedevice to be taken into consideration.
Controlling Stapling In contrast, the example on the right shows the same session with newlayout(on collate) added to subjob B.

Controlling Jogging For the purposes of stapling, an internally generated header page is considered a separate collation range. Internally generated trailer pages are treated similarly. The illustration below shows the effects of stapling on a simple two copy, two page job with headers and trailers turned on and stapling on set boundaries.
Controlling Jogging QMS DOC %%IncludeFeature: offset command or from the printer's Configuration menu. Using QMS DOC The QMS 4525 Print System supports the offset command. A jogging value specified through QMS DOC overrides any specification from the printer's Configuration menu. (See the offset command,described earlier in this appendix, for more information on this command.) You can use network print commands to set jogging. These commands are converted to QMS DOC commands on the QMS 4525 print system.

The printer has one default resource, and one additional resource for each attached disk.
PCL 5 Emulation Terminology Object The following are the three types of PCL downloaded objects: Temporary These objects reside on the current resource, and they are deleted either at the beginning and end of a job (unless Retain Temporary is set to On or On Compatibility) or when the system is reset (E or receipt of Printer Job Language). Permanent These objects reside on the current resource, and are retained when the system is reset (E or receipt of Printer Job Language).
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). A font is accessed by specifying a desired set of attributes. The system selects the font that most closely matches these attributes from the available set of fonts. See the PCL 5 Emulation Technical Reference Manual for information on what characterizes a PCL font. There are two types of fonts: bound and unbound.
PCL 5 Emulation DOC Commands PCL 5 Emulation DOC Commands Command Disable Scalable Syntax %%IncludeFeature: scalablefonts(value) Purpose Disables PCL 5 scalable fonts Parameter value Purpose Specifies whether to disable scalable fonts.

Parameter resource id Purpose Identifies one of the possible locations for downloaded objects.
PCL 5 Emulation DOC Commands 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.
PCL 5 Emulation DOC Commands 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 an install command precedes the 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. Parameter object id Purpose Specifies the ID of the object that is to be removed from the printer system.
PCL 5 Emulation DOC Commands E-54 Notes This is an obsolete DOC command that is identical to the remove command, except that it does not allow specification of an object type. The DOC string “removeresource(aaa bbb)” is equivalent to “remove(aaa bbb *)”. Parameter resource id Purpose Indicates the resource from which the object is to be removed. Default n/a Range 0 to 6 Format Integer Notes This ID must be specified. It indicates the resource from which the desired object is to be removed.
PCL 5 Emulation DOC Commands Default Printer configuration dependent Range courier12 courier12bold courier12italic courier10 courier10bold courier10italic lineprinter times* times*italic times*bold Format character 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.
PCL 5 Emulation DOC Commands E-56 Notes This ID is used when the Default Font selected is selectbyid. This allows for selection of fonts only on the current resource. Using this command to specify a font ID as the default font and then using the Default Font command to select the selectbyid value overrides the symbol set value. You can override the symbol set only if a bound font is selected as the default value, or if an unbound font is selected that does not support the default symbol set.
PCL 5 Emulation DOC Commands Notes This command specifies the default symbol set. Not all symbol sets are available with certain resident fonts. In particular, the Desktop, PS Math, Math 8, Microsoft Pub, Pi Font, PS Text, Ventura Intl, Ventura Math, Ventura US, and Windows symbol sets can not be used with the resident bitmap fonts: courier10, courier10bold, courier10italic, courier12, courier12bold, courier12italic, lineprinter.
PCL 5 Emulation DOC Commands E-58 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. PC listings should usually be done with both items set to off, and Macintosh listings usually require the third setting (lfiscrlf off, criscrlf on).
