Configuring the Printer
Configuring the QMS 4525 Print System involves setting default
printer options to meet your printing requirements. Examples of com-
mon 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. There are four ways to change printer configuration
options:
 Printer control panel
 Local and remote consoles
 PS Executive Series Utilities
 QMS Document Option Commands
Printer Control Panel
“Using the Control Panel,” later in this chapter, describes the control
panel when the printer is on line and idle. “Printer Configuration” tells
you how to use the control panel to change the printer's default con-
figuration settings to meet your printing requirements. After you
become familiar with using the control panel, refer to chapters 3
through 10 and the advanced status page to determine the configura-
tion changes you want to make.
As with any network printer, one setting for any particular printer
option may not meet the needs of every user connected to the printer.
As you are configuring the printer, try to pick the setting that meets
the needs of most of the users.
Local and Remote Consoles
The QMS 4525 printer supports an optional local RS-232C console
that connects directly to a port on the printer, and 8 remote consoles
session via TCP/IP Telnet. Remote consoles behave similarly to the
local console (and control panel) as far as the information displayed
and available console commands are concerned.
