Printer Troub leshooting sion) of the printer, computer, and the application the same? See chapter 4, “Administration/Communications Submenu,” in the system administrator’s guide. ■ 4 If you still cannot identify the problem, contact your QMS vendor. Is the printer printing codes or not printing at all when in ESP mode (emulation sensing processor)? YES - Check the following: ■ Reconfigure the port to the specific printer emulation of the file you are trying to print.
Preventing Jam s Preventing Jams There are several things you can do to reduce the occurrence of media jams. ■ Your paper, labels, and overhead transparencies must meet the guidelines set for the printer. ■ If you have problems with paper double feeding, remove it from the input bin and fan the edges. The sheets may be sticking together. Caution: Do not fan transparencies since this causes static electricity, which increases double feeding and jams.
Media Jam Locations Media Jam Locations When a media jam occurs, the printer icon on the printer’s control panel lights in the area closest to the jam. Frequent jams in any area indicate that area should be checked, repaired, or cleaned. Repeated jams may also signal that you are using the wrong weight media. Media jams can occur in the following areas: » When clearing a media jam, take special care to remove all media without tearing.

CCITT Group 3 an d 4 CCITT Group 3 and 4 The new DPI command for CCITT groups 3 and 4 is supported on your printer. All supported CCITT commands are outlined in chapter 5, “Emulations,” of your system administrator’s guide. DPI Function Sets the print resolution (dots per inch) to match the scanned resolution of the original image.
Lineprinter E mu lation 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. Lineprinter page orientation can be set only through the Administration/Emulations/Lineprinter menu or through this DOC. The lineprinter’s default orientation is specified through the printer’s menu and this default setting overrides the standard pageorientation DOC.
Document Forma tting Document Formatting This section covers updated information about two document formatting commands and complete information about two new commands. ■ Number-up Printing, update only, affects PCL 5 use only. ■ Print Borders, a new command useful in many emulations. ■ Background, update only, affects only jobs created for a 2025 or 3225 Print System and now being printed on a 3825 Print System. ■ Print Quality, a new command which allows you to select print intensity.
Document Formatting Logical page — The image that is produced by the emulation (also called logical sheet). When no layout is selected, it corresponds to the physical page (the paper size or paper type), but when a complex layout is selected, it is one of the images that gets mapped to a physical page within the borders. Margins — The portion of the physical page around the edges of the paper where no imaging will take place. Page grid — The placement of logical pages as tiles on the physical page.
Document Forma tting Border Command Function 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"). 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. Syntax %%IncludeFeature:border(value) Variable value Notes Range 0 to 7200 centipoints (0 to 1 inch) Default 0 1 centipoint = 1/7200" (.
Document Formatting The borders in Example A are 72 centipoints wide (1/100 inch). Example A %! %%Title: Border (72 centipoints) %%IncludeFeature: emulation(postscript) %%IncludeFeature: pagesize(letter) %%IncludeFeature: border(72) %%IncludeFeature: margins(1800 1800 1800 1800 off) %%EndComments The borders in Example B are 1800 centipoints wide (1/4 inch).
Document Forma tting The borders in Example C are 7200 centipoints wide (1 inch). Example C %! %%Title: Border (7200 centipoints) %%IncludeFeature: emulation(postscript) %%border(7200) %%IncludeFeature: margins(1800 1800 1800 1800 off) %%EndComments Background Because of improved print resolution on the QMS 3825 Print System, jobs created for the QMS 3225 or 2025 Print Systems and now being run on the 3825 Print System may not print as expected.
Sessions Print Quality This command allows you to set the intensity of your print output, choosing a norma, l light, or dark mode. Function Specifies whether the printer will use normal, light, or dark mode on the print job.
Sessions also gives you the flexibility to override the major document’s global printing attributes for one or more subjobs. Some printer description languages support language-specific markers which work well when the complete document is composed of a single printer description language generated by a single application. However, language-specific markers do not work very well when you need to create a document from files using multiple printer description languages.
Sessions Session Command Location The %%Session command must ■ Be placed at the beginning of the data stream of a document to delimit the session boundaries. ■ Precede all of the data that belongs to an individual subjob. This will ensure that the command is not saved in the actual data stream that is passed to a language or emulation. Some host applications add DOC commands at the beginning of a document’s data stream before transmitting a job to the QMS Crown printer.
Sessions 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. The length excludes the %%Session command ■ 2 delimiter string Specifies the host-supplied delimiter string for the subjob boundary. ■ 4 delimiter string Specifies the host-supplied delimiter string for the subjob boundary.
Sessions Parameter: terminator Default: none Range: Notes: ■ carriage return ■ line feed ■ carriage return plus line feed One or more ASCII space characters must be used to separate each item. Any extra characters between the argument and the terminator are discarded. Session Command Detection and Arguments At the start of a document data stream, the printer examines the initial bytes of data to see if it can match the %%Session: ... string.
Sessions Examples End by Count Example For the end-by-count method of signaling the end of a subjob using a length, the byte count begins after the terminator following the %%Session: ... sequence. For example, counting starts with %! as the first 2 bytes in the following example: %%Session: 0 65535 %! %%IncludeFeature: emulation(postscript) ... ... » Note: When using this method, include all white space and forms control characters inserted by the host system in the byte count.
Sessions %%End2ndSubJob %%Session: 4%%End3rdSubJob %! %%IncludeFeature: emulation (impress) %%EndComments ... imPRESS data ... Close connection Subjob Terminator Example To further clarify subjob terminators, let’s look at the following example. If you want to group the three subjobs into a document using the %%session command with subjob terminators, the new combined data stream may look like the following example.
Sessions %%Session: 4 %%End2ndSubJob Include in 2nd subjob %! %%IncludeFeature:emulation (pcl5) EndComments ... PCL 5 data ... %%End2ndSubJob %%Session: 0 0 Ignore line %%Session: 2%%End3rdSubJob Define 3rd subjob boundary %! %%IncludeFeature:emulation (impress) %%EndComments ... imPRESS data ... Close connection Sessions Document Finishing Terminology Newlayout The %%IncludeFeature:newlayout command is the mechanism that allows groups of subjobs to use the same layout features.
Sessions Document Finishing Command Function: Used when a document has more than one subjob and you want to control whether different subjobs have the same format. The %%IncludeFeature:newlayout command is used at the beginning of subjobs to do one or both of the following: Syntax: ■ Indicate to the printer that new document formatting options, such as grids, booklets, borders, margins, pages sizes, page offsets, and orientation, should apply from this point on.
Sessions on 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. This subjob will be considered part of the collation range established by the previous subjob. See the “Collation Range” definition earlier in this section.
PCL 5 Em ulation 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.
PCL 5 Emulation ports the Dingbats symbol set) support the group of normal symbol sets. In the QMS PCL 5 emulation, only fonts located in the current resource may be accessed by a PCL font ID using the normal (#X sequence. All other fonts (resident, cartridge, or other) including those stored on the additional resources can be accessed only by attributes. Also, only objects stored in the current resource may be deleted directly by the PCL language.
PCL 5 Em ulation Object There are three types of PCL downloaded objects: ■ Temporary Temporary objects reside on the current resource and are deleted 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 PCL 5 Emulation DOC Disable Scalable Fonts Command Syntax %%IncludeFeature:scalablefonts(value) Purpose Enables/disables PCL 5 scalable fonts Variable value Notes Purpose Specifies whether to disable scalable fonts. Range 0—Enables scalable fonts 1—Disables scalable fonts Default 0 Disable scalable fonts to ■ Print PCL 4 documents which inadvertently select PCL 5 scalable fonts. ■ More closely emulate the PCL 4 font environment.
PCL 5 Em ulation object id Notes Purpose Assigns an ID to an object, such as a font, macro, or pattern Range 0-32767 Default 0 Format Integer 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.
PCL 5 Emulation Example %!

PCL 5 Em ulation Notes: Purpose Specifies the ID of the object that is to be removed from the printer system. Range *, -1 to 32767 Default -1 (wildcard) Format Integer Notes If the object id is not specified, or if it is specified as * or -1, all objects on the specified resource are removed. Unlike the %%IncludeFeature:install command, the %%IncludeFeature:remove command does not set any defaults, and it is not directly related to the job to which it is attached.
PCL 5 Emulation Format Integer 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 a %%IncludeFeature:install command precedes the %%IncludeFeature: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.

E Character Encoding Tables
Character En coding Tables Character Encoding Tables Character encoding tables are included with this manual as a reference. The standard PostScript fonts use a flexible encoding scheme by which character codes select character descriptions. These tables show the codes of each character. Some programs require you to input character encoding information in order to use the available fonts fully. At the top of the table is the font name. The numbers at the far left of the tables (\00x, \01x, \02x, etc.
