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).

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
nAdjust the margins or page size through your application.
nUse the printer’s control panel (Administration/Engine/Image
Alignment menu).
nUse 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.

Media Storage
Weight
The printer supports the following weights of paper:
See appendix B, “Technical Specifications,” for information on typical
types of transparencies.
Heat Tolerance
The printer supports transparencies able to withstand the heat generated by the fuser (190° C/374° F), without transformation.
Media Storage
Improperly stored media increases the chance of paper jams during
printing and can drastically affect the print quality of the printed page.
Keep media in good condition by storing it
nIn its wrapper
nOn a flat surface
nIn a closed cabinet
nIn a cool, dry area

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.

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.

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
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.

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
QMS 4060 Print System Reference3-6
Resident Fonts,

derive from painting; a portrait is usually a vertical view while a landscape is usually a horizo ntal view.
The following 42 PostScript fonts are resident in your printer. See your
QMS vendor if you are interested in expanding your printer's typeface
families.
All of these typeface families are authentic: they are licensed, they
carry the true name, and they have multilingual character sets.
