nMedia sizes, imageable areas, and margins

nMedia storage

Introduction

This chapter lists the media sizes and imageable areas supported by the QMS 1060 Print System, and then provides information on selecting and storing media.

Media Sizes and Imageable

Areas

Your printer supports paper, envelopes, transparencies, and labels in a number of sizes. Each size has a certain imageable area, the maximum area a printer can access, which is limited by the physical media size, the margins required by the printer, and the amount of memory available for the full-page frame buffer.

»Note: The media size must match the cassette size. Since the cassette sends a size signal to the printer controller, using the wrong size media will cause your image to be positioned incorrectly on the page or clipped. You may purchase additional cassettes from your QMS vendor.

Media Sizes and

The following table lists the size, imageable area, feed edge (the edge of the media drawn in the printer), and input source (tray or cassette from which media is accepted) for all supported media.

Working Within the Imageable Area

The imageable areas for print media on your QMS 1060 Print System are not centered vertically on their respective pages and may vary

----- " (1.6 mm). You can align the image in several different ways:

nAdjust the margins or page size through your application

nUse the printer's control panel (Administration/Engine/Image Alignment menu)

nUse the PS Executive Series Utilities

Media Types

and Weights

nUse the PostScript translate and scale operators to reduce image size and change its placement on the page.

Setting Page Margins

Margins are set through your application. Some applications allow you to set custom page sizes and margins while others allow only standard page sizes and margins. 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 exactly those sizes given for the imageable area.

Media Types and Weights

Paper Type

The printer supports plain paper, recycled paper, letterhead/memo, thick paper, and postcard. Use only paper recommended for laser printers, such as Hammermill Laser Print.

»Note: We do not recommend printing on perforated or 3-hole punched paper.

Paper Weight

The printer supports plain paper, 16-24 lb (64-90 g/m2), in cassettes and thick paper, 24-42 lb (90-157 g/m2), in the manual feed tray.

Envelope Type

The printer supports the following envelopes: Commercial 9, Commercial 10, Monarch, International DL, International C5, and custom envelopes in the multipurpose tray or in an optional envelope cassette.

2-4	QMS 1060 Print System Reference

Media Types

and Weights

▲Caution: The heat of the fuser may seal some envelopes. Test an envelope to make sure it can withstand the fusing temperature before starting a big job.

Transparency Type

The printer supports transparencies meeting normal photocopier standards, such as 3M PP2500.

»Note: Use only transparencies recommended for laser printers.

Transparency Weight

The printer supports transparencies up to a weight of 36 lbs (135 g/m2).

Label Type

Use only labels recommended for laser printers, such as Avery 5260. Adhesive label stock has pressure-sensitive (peel and stick) adhesive backing.

»Note: Always use the multipurpose tray to print labels.

Label Weight

The printer supports 24-42 lb (90-157 g/m2) labels.

Storing Media

How you store paper and other media can make a big difference in print quality and printer operation. Improperly stored media increases the chance of jams during printing and can drastically affect the appearance of your work. Keep media in good condition by storing it

nIn its wrapper

nOn a flat surface

nIn a closed cabinet

nIn a cool, dry area

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

T referred to as feet or curlicues. imes Roman Courier, ITC Bookman, New

Century Schoolbook, Palatino, 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.

Script

Script typefaces simulate handwriting or brush lettering. Each letter is

connected visually, if not

Zapf Chancery 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.

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.

alphabet	Because proportionally spaced type-
alphabet	faces place each character accord-
alphabet	ing to its individual size, they
alphabet	increase legibility and readability.
	This example shows the difference

between a monospaced typeface (Courier) and a typeface (Times).

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 refers to the height of a proportionally spaced typeface. A point is a unit of measure equal to 1/72". Therefore, the larger the point size, the larger the letter. The following example shows characters in 8, 10, 12, 24, and 36 point sizes:

A B C D E

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		mathematic
prints ten characters per inch (or 10 cpi)		mathematic
prints ten characters per inch (or 10 cpi)
while a twelve-pitch typeface prints	0		1
twelve characters per inch (or 12 cpi).		mathematical

Stroke Weight

Palatin o

Stoke weight (light/medium/bold) is the width (thickness), of the lines (strokes) that make up a character. The example at left shows the medium and bold weights of Palatino.

Italic and Oblique Forms

Italic was originally developed in the early sixteenth century as a typeface based on cursive handwriting. Today’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

individually but are mechanically slanted versions of the roman form from which they derive.

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
