Configuring the
Printer
2-3Printer Configuration
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. Status conditions are redis-
played each time you press the Enter key to ensure that they do not
scroll off the screen. When the problem is cleared, the following mes-
sage displays:
Printer Ready
The console is a simple, line-oriented display of 24 lines of 80 charac-
ters. To list the available console commands, type ?↵ on the console
keyboard. If executing a console command results in more than a sin-
gle screen of output, the display pauses every 24 lines and waits for
you to press any key to continue.
Console Modes
Regular users and the system administrator use the console for differ-
ent purposes. Users check the status of their print jobs and cancel
jobs. They may also want to check available fonts or each language's
default configuration to ensure that it matches what their print jobs
expect. The system administrator uses the console more extensively
for printer configuration and file system management.
Thus, the console operates in two different modes, user and admin . In
the default user mode, only a subset of the console commands is
available. Only one console session may be in admin mode at a time.
The console prompt indicates if the console is in admin mode, user
mode, or if the system is off line.
You can use the local or remote console instead of the control panel
to change printer configuration settings. (See the QMS Crown
Remote Console User's Guide , for more information on remote con-
sole.
