Introduction

Introduction
This chapter lists the media sizes and imageable areas supported by the QMS 4060 Print System, and then provides information on select­ing and storing media.

Media Sizes and Imageable Areas

Your printer supports media in a number of sizes. Each media size has a certain imageable area, the maximum area on which the printer can print. This area is subject to both hardware limits (the physical media size and the margins required by the printer) and software con­straints (the amount of memory available for the full-page frame buffer).
» Note:
Ensure that the media size matches the tray size (for example, letter/A4 media must be loaded only when the tray is set to letter/A4 size). Since the media tray sends a media size signal to the printer controller, using a wrong size media will cause your image to be positioned incorrectly on the page or clipped and can result in paper jams.

Imageable Area

The imageable area is the area on which the printer is guaranteed to print clearly and without distortion. This area is subject to both hard­ware limits (the physical media size and the margins required by the printer) and software constraints (the amount of memory available f or the full-page frame buffer).

Working Within the Imageable Area
The imageable areas for print media on your QMS 4060 Print System may vary tolerances. You can adjust the alignment of the image in several dif­ferent ways:
1
/16" (1.6 mm). This is normal mechanical engine alignment
n Adjust the margins or page size through your application. n Use the printer’s control panel (Administration/Engine/Image
Alignment menu).
n Use the PostScript translate and scale operators to reduce
image size and change its placement on the page.

Media Types and Weights

Page Margins

Margins are set through your application. Some applications allow you to set custom page sizes and margins while others have only standard page sizes and margins from which to choose. If you choose a standard format, you may lose part of your image (due to imageable area constraints). If you can custom-size your page, use those sizes given for the imageable area for optimum results.
Media Types and Weights
Your printer supports envelopes, labels, paper, postcards, and trans­parencies in a number of sizes. The following information provides media types and weights that your printer supports.

Labels

Type
See appendix B, “Technical Specifications,” for information on typical types of labels.
Weight
The printer supports 31-36 lb (120-139 g/m2) labels.

Paper

Type
Use paper recommended for laser printers, such as Hammermill Laser Print. See appendix B, “Technical Specifications,” for informa­tion on typical types of paper.

Introduction

Introduction
This chapter defines common terms used in the descripti on of fonts and typefaces, and displays the printer’s resident typefaces.

About Typefaces and Fonts

Many of the terms and phrases used in desktop publishing are derived from the language of professional printers and typesetters. This section explains common words and phrases used when dis­cussing typefaces.

Typeface

A named design of a set of printed characters, such as Times, that has a specified obliqueness (degree of slant) and stroke weight (thickness of stroke). It does not define a particular size.

Font

A set of characters of the same typeface (such as Times), style
italic
(such as (such as bold), and point size (such as 10). Although you hear the term “font” used more generally, as if referring to a typeface, it’s really only a member of a typeface family.
), stroke weight

Typeface Family

A group of similar typefaces. For example, the Times typeface family consists of four typefaces: Times Roman, Times
Bold, Times Italic, and Times Bold Italic.

Character Set

A collection of symbols designed for various printing applications. Many character sets are composed of the letters (uppercase and lowercase A-Z), digits (0-9), and any symbol (such as blank space, dollar sign, and ampersand). Other character sets are composed entirely of symbols.
QMS 4060 Print System Reference3-2

About Typefaces and Fonts

Typeface Classification

One way of classifying the different typefaces is to group them into the following categories:
Serif
A serif is a decorative line or tail on the ends of the strokes of a letter. Serifs, usually on the lower half of a letter, have also been
referred to as feet or curlicues.
Times Roman
and Times are serif typefaces. In the example shown, all the letters except “e” and “o” have serifs.
Sans Serif
Sans serif (“sans” is French for “without”) indicates a typeface without any of these small tails. A
sans serif typeface is decorative by the shape and styling of its letters but has less detail than a serif typeface. Helvetica, Helvetica Condensed, Helvetica Narrow, and ITC Avant Garde Gothic are all sans serif typefaces. In the example shown above, the slight curving at the bottom of the letters “t” and “a” is not a serif. It is part of the line forming the letter rather than a decorative line added on.

physically . ITC Zapf Chancery is a script typeface.

About Typefaces and Fonts
Pi or Symbol
Pi or symbol typefaces are collections of assorted special­purpose characters (for example, decorative, graphic, math, or monetary characters). They are especially useful for highlighting items in lists, providing graphics, and displaying symbols that might otherwise have to be drawn in by hand. Many typefaces today include a complement of the more commonly used pi characters. Symbol and ITC Zapf Dingbats are pi typefaces.

Typography Terms

Monospacing
The terms “monospaced” and “fixed-pitch” refer to a typeface whose characters all have uniform and equal spacing. These typefaces are useful for spreadsheets and other documents with columnar data. Monospacing is the opposite of proportional spacing.
Σψµβολ
Proportional Spacing
The term “proportionally spaced” refers to a typeface in which the width of each character varies. For example, the letter “i” is thinner than the letter “m” and therefore takes up less space. Proportional spacing saves page space and is easier on the eye. This manual’s text uses the Helvetica font, a proportionally spaced typeface.
Because proportionally spaced type-

faces place each character according to its individual size, they increase legibility and readability. This exam­ple shows the difference
Page 25
About Typefaces and Fonts
Bitmapped Font
A bitmapped font is a one in which each character is represented by a set of dot patterns. Each font size requires a different set of dot patterns.
Scalable Font
A scalable font is one in which each character’s dot pattern (bitmap) is generated from a mathematical representation (or outline) of the character. Scalable fonts eliminate the need to store many different font sizes.
Point Size
Point size ref ers to the height of a proportionally spaced typeface. A point is a unit of measure equal to size, the larger the letter. The following example shows characters in 8, 10, 12, 24, and 36 point sizes:
A B C D E
1
/72". Therefore, the larger the point
Pitch
Pitch refers to the number of characters per horizontal inch (cpi) in a monospaced typeface. Therefore, the larger the pitch, the smaller the letter. For example, a ten-pitch typeface prints ten characters per inch (or 10 cpi) while a twelve-pitch typeface prints twelve characters per inch (or 12 cpi). The example shows ten-pitch and twelve­pitch Courier.

Italic and Oblique Forms
Italic was originally developed in the early sixteenth century as a typeface based on cursive handwriting. T oday’ s italics are still individually crafted typefaces designed to blend with a specific roman (upright) typeface.

Oblique (or slanted) type forms, however, are not designed and crafted
Orientation
Orientation is the direction of the print or image on a page. Portrait orientation reads from left to right, across the narrower dimension of the page. Landscape orientation also reads from left to right but places the print across the wider dimension of the page. Spreadsheet and table applications commonly use landscape printing. Both terms

Introduction

Introduction
This chapter begins by listing and describing the different ways you can configure your printer to meet your special printing needs.
The next section describes how to use the printer control panel to access the configuration menu and how to make configuration changes.
The rest of the chapter provides basic printer configuration informa­tion about some of the configuration menu options. The

Methods of Configuration

You have five ways to configure your printer to meet your printing needs:
n Through an application n Through printer commands n Through the printer control panel n Through a remote console (for network users) n Through a local console

Using an Application

Using your application is the best way to control your printer since most printing is done on a per-job basis. This helps prevent confusion in network environments and saves you from making changes at the
QMS 4060 Print System Reference4-2
Page 37
Methods of Configuration
printer control panel. Your application documentation explains how to control your printer settings: probably by choosing options from a printing menu.
Applications use printer drivers to send appropriate commands to the printer for requested tasks. If your application doesn’t have a QMS 4060 Print System driver, you can select a comparable PostScript driver, such as the QMS Level 2 Windows driver or a LaserWriter driver. However, comparable drivers may not allow you to access all of your printer's features, such as 600x600 dpi printing, duplexing, or collating.

Using QMS Document Option Commands

QMS Document Option Commands (DOCs) can enable job-specific features your application or page description language can’t access. See your
QMS Software Utilities
mands. See appendix C, “Document Option Commands,” of this man­ual for a list of DOCs this printer supports.

CD-ROM for information on the DOC com-
manual on the

Using the Control Panel

Your printer is configured at the factory for most typical printing envi­ronments, so most users don’t have to use the control panel often. However, if you do need to change a printer setting for all print jobs (not just on a per-job basis), you can do so through the control panel. If you’re working in a shared printing environment, your system administrator should be the only person to make changes through the printer’s control panel.
» Note:
The menu navigation button functions appear on the display
panel only when the printer is off line.

Using a Remote Console

Many of the configuration choices that can be made at the control panel can also be made via a Remote Console session from CrownAdmin. You can run Remote Console via Telnet a TCP/IP envi-

ronment. To avoid confusion in a shared printing environment, only the system administrator should make configuration changes. See the QMS CrownAdmin on-line help for information on using Remote Console.
» Note:
If a remote console has the printer off line, pressing the Online button will not take effect until the console puts the printer back on line.

Using the Local Console Port

The Local Console port can also allow you to make configuration choices that are normally made at the control panel. See chapter 6, “Local and Remote Console,” of the information.
» Note:
If a local console has the printer off line, pressing the Online button will not take effect until the console puts the printer back on line.
Operations
Configuration Menu
The printer’s configuration menu allows you to change the default printer configuration settings. Any changes made to the configuration will reside as new default settings and affect all subsequent print jobs.
The options in the configuration menu are organized under three main menus:
manual for more
n Operator Control Menu
Use this menu to select document processing options such as copy count, choosing input and output paper bins, chaining input bins, and duplexing (if a duplexing unit is installed). Document processing options are usually specified within individua l jobs since each job has its own requirements. However, if there’s no way of specifying these options within an application, use the control panel to change options, send the job, and then change the defaults back.
QMS 4060 Print System Reference4-4
Page 39
Configuration Menu
» Note:
n Administration Menu
» Note:
nn Installation Menu
Defining document processing options for a particular job through the control panel is not recommended in a shared environment. When many systems are using the same printer, there’s no way of making sure that no other jobs are sent to the printer while the defaults are changed. The Operator Control menu may be password-protected with an optional security key if the system administrator does not want users changing defaults.
Use this menu to maintain printer-host communication informa­tion, and for selecting and configuring printer emulations, config­uring special pages, printing engine calibration, and configuring hard disks (if installed).
For information on printer-host communication using the Ethernet interface or any of the Administration/Communications/ Network/CrownNet options, see chapter 2, “Printer Configuration,” in the QMS CrownNet System Administrator’s Guide on the QMS Software Utilities CD-ROM. The Administration menu may be password protected with an optional security key if the system administrator does not want users changing defaults.
Use this menu to establish passwords for the Operator Control and Administration menus. This menu displays only when an optional security key is installed.

Accessing the Configuration Menu

To access the configuration menu, make sure the printer is idle (IDLE displays in the message window), then press the Online button to take the printer off line (the Online button function changes to Offline), and finally press the Menu button.
Example
The following table shows how to use control panel buttons to access the printer configuration menu. Press the control panel buttons in the

Changing Character Information

Sometimes, rather than selecting an option, you need to enter char­acter information. A character is any letter, digit, or symbol. A field is a group of characters that have meaning. Use the printer control panel to enter character information in the message window during printer configuration. The maximum length of the message window is 16 characters.
Entering character information through the control panel is similar to setting the time and date on a digital watch. You enter one character

To exit from the character selection process, move the cursor to the last character of the input field (the character farthest to the right) and press the Select button, or move to the first character of the input field (the character farthest to the left) and press the Menu button.
When you exit, the printer verifies character information and confirms it in the message window. If character info rmation is valid, you’re returned to the previous menu; if it’s invalid, you’re returned to the input field. Press the Menu button to cancel any changes to the char­acter information.
If the current character information is longer than the value that you need to enter, replace each extra character with a space. The printer interprets a space at the end of character information as a blank.

Working with Chunk Collation
For a multiple copy document with collation On, there must be enough display list memory to hold the display list blocks for a ll pages in the collation range. See the “Memory” section in chapter 5 more information on the Display List compressed blocks. If there is not enough memory, then a chunk collation boundary is forced after the last compiled page of the collation range.
» Note:
Under normal condition s with 32 MB of RAM and the int ernal hard disk for virtual memory, your QMS 4060 should have enough memory to prevent chunk collation from occurring.

Chunk Collation
This mechanism of introducing a forced boundary is known as chunk collation. Chunk collation breaks a document into several smaller, more manageable sets. For example, in the following illustration, cop­ies “a” and “b” of each set must be manually combined to create one collated 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 3(b), and copy 4(b).
» Note:
The order of output on your QMS 4060 Print System is from
first to last page.
To improve collation performance, which allows you to collate longer and more complex print jobs on the QMS 4060 Print System, you can do one of the following:
n Add more printer memory, which automatically increases the Dis-
play List client’s memory settings.
n Take any memory, if av ailable and not being used by other clients,
and add it to the Administration/Memory/K Mem Display memory setting.
▲ Caution:
This option should be used only by individuals who are familiar with adjusting memory clients’ values. Incorrect use of this option could cause your system to operate inco rrectly.
QMS 4060 Print System Reference4-20
Page 55
Operator Control Menu
» Note:
Collating through your application is more time consuming than collating through the printer. The application sends the complete job the requested number of times rather than sending it once and holding data in printer memory.

Orientation

While you can usually specify the orientation of a print job in your application, if you consistently use a certain paper orientation, you can set this in the Operator Control/Orientation menu.

Chaining Paper Inputbins

An option in the Operator Control menu allows you to “chain” input­bins (trays) so that when the first inputbin empties, the printer will automatically draw paper from another inputbin with either the same or any size and type of paper (dependent on the choice selected).
Menu Choices
Operator Control/Chain Inputbins On—Switch to the next inputbin with the same size
and type of paper when the default inputbin is empty.
» Note:
Make sure the three trays use the same
size paper.
Off—Don’t switch inputbins; use only the default
inputbin.
On Any—Switch to the next inputbin with similar size
of paper when the default inputbin is empty.

Operator Control Menu
Default Notes
On Use the Operator Control/Inputbin menu to set the
default inputbin. Make sure that the three inputbins use the same size paper.
When chaining "on any" and duplexing, the printer will chain to a similar size paper (for example, letter to A4) but not to the large paper sizes—11"x17" and A3. This is because these large sizes are fed through the printer in a different printing order than the smaller sizes. When these restrictions occur on chaining on any, the printer will prompt you to add the default paper size to any tray. The custom tray chaining "on any" for large format- paper will not occur unless there is another custom tray with the same paper size or a standard tray with A3 or 11"x17" paper.

Setting Up Chaining Options

Options in the Operator Control menu allow you to configure whether or not an inputbin will be available for chaining from another inputbin.

Crown Accounting

Crown accounting, a tool to help you keep track of the use of printer resources, is available on your QMS 4060 Print System with a hard disk installed, with or without a network connection.
Paper use is the most commonly monitored resource. However, Crown accounting also allows you to monitor
n Paper use per user n Time consumed serving each user’s jobs n Connectivity options n Frequency of jams n Times of peak use n Number, complexity, and average size of jobs per user n Commonly used features, such as duplexing or finishing

» Note:
If you are connected to a network via TCP/IP, you have a choice of using Crown accounting or the standard TCP/IP accounting through your UNIX host software. See the TCP/IP Protocol Option User’s Guide for more information on TCP/IP accounting.
As jobs are printed on your QMS 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).
▲
Caution: Do not turn the printer off while the disk is being accessed. Doing so may cause inconsistencies in the information stored.
Accounting Menu
The Accounting menu includes five submenus, allowing you to enable or disable job accounting, allocate disk space when accounting is enabled, reset accounting, store job accounting information in a sin­gle job file or in multiple files, and copy the accounting information.
Job accounting information may be stored in a single file if it can be retrieved via FTP on your host. Otherwise, the selected job account­ing file should be spread into several files.
Setting the Accounting Mode
The Accounting Mode option enables or disables job accounting. Choices are Enabled or Disabled with a default of Disabled. In order for the accounting process to run on your system, you must enable accounting via the in control panel or via remote console. When accounting is disabled any files containing data remain untouched. However, empty files are removed to save disk space.
Allocating Disk Space
The Operator Control/Accounting/Disk Space option allocates disk space for job accounting files. The range of values is 51200 (50 KB) to 10240 (10 MB) with a default value of 01024 KB (1 MB).
QMS 4060 Print System Reference4-30
Page 65
Operator Control Menu
The amount of space required for each job can vary between 200 and 250 bytes, so each 1 MB in the job accounting file will store informa­tion on 4,000 to 5,000 jobs.
If the selected value is greater than the current va lue, the file size is increased to reserve the extra space. If the value is smaller than the current file size, any empty job accounting files are moved. If only one file is used and it is not empty, it cannot be shrunk.
Resetaccounting
The Resetaccounting option erases the Accounting files and recre­ates them using the current file size. If this operation is selected when accounting is disabled, the files are removed but not recreated, thus saving disk space. The range of values is Yes and No. The default value is No.
This operation is also available as the resetaccount command for the admin user at a remote console. See the documentation
When job files are more than 80% full but less than 100% full, the fol­lowing message displays on the control panel and remote console:

is the percentage full, reported as 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95%.) This is an appropriate time to copy these files to floppies or to transfer them to your host computer using ftp if it is available to you. Then use the option to reset the accounting files to empty after they are copied to a floppy or to a host.

» Note:
When accounting is enabled and the Job Accounting file s are 100% full, no further print jobs are accepted by the printer until Resetaccounting is selected or until Accounting is disabled. If you disable Accounting at this time, no job information is stored. You can retrieve your accounting files while they are full and then do the Resetaccounting operation. However, to avoid delaying jobs being sent to the printer, it is advisable to perform the retrieve/reset operations before the job accounting files fill up.
Segmenting the Accounting Job File
The Job File Segment menu allows you to decide whether accounting information is stored in the printer in a single file or in multiple files. Choices are Single and Multiple, with Multiple as the default. Although it is convenient to store accounting data in a single file, the multiple file option is useful if you must transfer your files to your host via floppy disk.
If a single file is used, its size equals the Disk Space value described earlier in this section. The file name will be ACC1.JOB.
If multiple files are selected, their combined size equals the File Size value described earlier in this section. Each file will be 1 MB, except the last file, which includes the remaining dedicated space. That is, if you dedicate 10 MB to accounting and select multiple files, the printer creates 10 files of 1 MB each. If you dedicate 5.5 MB to accounting, the printer creates 5 files of 1 MB each and one of 500 KB. The Job file names will be ACC1.JOB, ACC2.JOB, and so on.
Accounting Files
» Note:
You can also access these accounting files with the Windows­based QMS Crown Printer Auditor (CPA) utility on the QMS Software Utilities CD-ROM. Refer to the CPA on-line help for more information.
The following accounting files are stored in ASCII format on SYS, the printer’s hard disk, in the SYS:/ADMIN directory:

Accounting File Format Description
Accounting files are recorded in ASCII format in a series of tagged fields.
New fields can be added without losing backward compatibility, because each field is tagged. A version field is included in the ACC.STA file to identify the supported fields as the system evolves.
» Note:
Field 45 in the Job Accounting File example on page 4-35 illustrates that new fields can be added to the series but used where logical, in this case between fields 6 and 7. Field 45, which provides information about the interface used, was added in response to a customer request.
Conventions
The following conventions are the same for job, paper, and status files:
Printer Configuration
4-33
Page 68
Operator Control Menu
n Tag Identifiers
These three-digit numbers are used to identify fields. The three­digit number is used instead of a name to minimize use of disk space. The Dictionary file (ACC.DIC) provides the field names associated with each tag identifier.
n String Information
String information for record field values is stored inside braces (for example, {this is a string}). This allows spaces within strings and stores only the necessary characters of a string value. String fields for which no value is specified are stored as {}, instead of using blanks or the maximum field size.
n New Records
New records are separated by a <CR> character to increase readability.
n Separators
A typical record in any of the accounting files is a sequence of pairs of tag identifiers and field values separated by commas. The tag identifier and field value are separated by a colon.
Example
The following is an example of the format of an accounting file record: 1: 3, 2:{this is a string}, <CR> In this example, the record has fields identified by tags 1 and 2. Since
these values don't use 3 digits for the tag identifier, spaces are stored instead, to provide consistency and simplicity while using only 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. The <CR> represents the carriage return character.

Copy Accounting Files to Host

Accounting files should be transferred to your host computer periodi­cally to keep the printer from being overloaded with data and to allow you easy analysis of data.
Using the QMS Crown Printer Auditor (CPA) Utility
You can access the accounting files with the Windows-based QMS Crown Printer Auditor (CPA) utility on the ROM. Refer to the CPA on-line help for more information.
Using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
QMS Software Utilities

» Note:
FTP works only when the printer is off line and the message window displays IDLE. Use the ls command in the SYS:/admin directory to see which accounting files you are going to retrieve. The ls command is issued from a remote console. If multiple Job Accounting files are used, each of the ACCx.JOB files should be copied. (x is the number of each subsequent Job Accounting file.)
Use File Transfer Protocol (FTP) on the host, if a TCP/IP connection is available to the printer, to copy the files from the printer’s hard disk to the host as follows:

Setting Timeouts

The Timeouts options limit the amount of time the printer waits on transmission from the host for various types of data.
Setting a PostScript Emulation Timeout
The PostScript emulation timeout is the maximum number of seconds the PostScript emulation waits for incoming data.
Menu
Choices Default Notes
Administration/Communications/Timeouts/PS Wait Timeout
00000-99999 00030 (30 sec.) A value of 00000 is the same as infinity (no timeout).
The job is closed and the next job in the queue begins if all of the following occur:
n No additional data is received during the
specified period of time.
n The interface didn’t time out. n An EOD (end-of-document commands)
was not seen.
When a print job is sent from a Macintosh, the PS Wait timeout is automatically changed to 00300 (5 min.).
Large print jobs, such as those generated by graphics or computer-aided design applications, require timeouts of 00300 (5 min.).

Courier12* Fonts with an asterisk “*” in their names are scalable.
Their default point size is set by the Point Size x100 option. Choosing Select By Index as the default font selects the font by the index number printed on the advanced status page and is set through the Default Font Index option.
» Note:
You must use the Select By Index value to select an Intellifont.
All lineprinter fonts are bitmap fonts, so they have a fixed point size. Selecting a bound, bitmap font overrides the default settings for symbol set and point size. An unbound font uses the specified default symbol set if possible, and a scalable font uses the default font size.
