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.
Implementation
To implement PS protocol for sending binary data on your system you
need a device driver available with some applications or operating
systems, or you can alternatively use a program to read the data and
write out the quoted characters. See your QMS vendor for any avail-
able information on device drivers or binary filter programs.
PostScript Operators
To take advantage of the stapling, collation, and offset stacking fea-
tures of the QMS 4525 Print System the following new page device
parameters are supported for the setpagedevice operator. The Post-
Script Language Reference Manual by Addison Wesley (ISBN
0-201-18127-4) and the PostScript Language Reference Manual
Supplement (November 25, 1992) contains detailed information on
the setpagedevice operator, and the QMS Crown Technical Refer-
ence Manual contains information on how QMS interprets this opera-
tor in their PostScript emulation.
Statusdict Operators
The following new stapling and jogging statusdict operators are sup-
ported on the QMS 4525 Print System. The values for these opera-
tors are initialized at the start of a job in the following manner:
1 If DOC is specified, the staplemode or jogmode value is used.
2 If DOC is not specified, then the default nvram values are used.
3 Any values specified within the job override the initial values.
