Configuring the QMS 3825/ 3225/2025 Print System

This manual guides you through the process of configuring the printer options to meet your unique printin g requirem ent s. As with any net­work printer, one setting for any particular printer option may not meet the needs of every user. As you are configuring the printe r, try to pick the setting that meets the needs of most of the users.

Methods of Configuration

There are five major ways to configure your printer for your needs — some appropriate for users and some only for system administrators .
Users configure options one job at a time using these methods:
■ An application
■ PS Executive Series Util it ies
■ QMS Docum ent Option Commands
System administrators configure the printer to meet the needs of an entire department through these m eth ods:
Introduction

Methods of Configuration
■ The printer control panel
■ A remote console, for network users only

Configuration for Individual Jobs

Using an Application
Using an application is the best way for individual users to get the results they want from the department al printe r. This helps prevent confusion in network environments and saves unnecessary changes at the printer control panel. Your application documentat ion explains how to control printer settings: probably by choosing opt ions from a printing menu.
Applications use printer drivers to send the appropriate commands to the printer. If your application doesn’t have a QMS 3825/3225/ 2025 Print System driver, you can select a comparable PostScript driver, such as another QMS driver or a LaserWriter driver. However, com­parable drivers may not allow access to all of your printer’s features. For best results, use the driver that accompanied your new printer.
Using PS Executive Series Utilities
You can also use the PS Executive Series Utilities (shipped with your printer) to control the printer from your host. See the README file on the utilities disk for inform ati on on install ing th e utiliti es, and see the utilities’ on-line help for det ails on using the softwa re .
Using QMS Document Option Commands
The QMS 3825/3225/2025 Print System provides a powerful feature that can accommodate your requests (and the requests of any other user on the network) without affecting the printer confi gurati on for other print jobs. This feature is the set of QMS Docum ent Opti on Commands or QMS DOC.
With QMS DOC, you can add commands to the beginnin g of your files that, when interpreted by the printer, turn on specific file process­ing or document handling feature s available on the printer. Use QMS DOC to specify an emulation, select a specific input bin or paper size,
QMS 3825/3225/2025 System Administrators Guide1-6
Page 17
Methods of Configu ra tion
select duplex (double-sided) or simplex (single-sided) printing, select page orientation and backgrounds, use number-up and booklet print­ing, and more. The features you select and the QMS DOC you use at the beginning of your file take effect only for the current print job. After your file prints, the QMS DOC comma nds added to the beginni ng of the next file take effect for it. If no QMS DOC appears on the next file, the printer’s default values resume.

Configuration for Departmental Use

Using the Control Panel
QMS printers are configured at the factory for the most typical printing environments, so most users don’t have to use the contro l 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. In a shared printing environment, only the system administra ­tor should make changes though the printe r’s control panel.
Using a Remote Console
Most of the configuration choices that can be made at the control panel can also be made through a remote console in many network

environments. To avoid confusion in a shared printing environm ent, only the system administrator should make config uration ch anges.
Before You Begin
Before you start configuring the printer, you should have the following:
■ A security disk. This disk allows you to set passwords for the printer set-up menus, and to set the messag e window langu age (English, French, German, or Spanish).
■ A status page. The status page list s the current default setti ngs for many of the printer options. Factory defa ult s are listed in appendix D, “Factory Default Settings,” of the user’s guide, but a status page shows current settings and serves as a reference so you can always reset your printer to its most recent settin gs.

Printing a Status Page

There are two types of status page, standard and advanced. The standard status page includes the followi ng items on one page:
■ Printer identification (the printer’s name, release information, number of sheets printed)
■ Printer settings (printer set-up opt ions for paper hand ling)
■ Current memory configuration (printer mem ory settings)
■ Timeouts (printer timeout settin gs)
■ Communications settings and input buffer sizes (settings for
printer-host communicati on, including spool ing me mory siz es)
■ Hard disk status (list of installed hard disks currently on line)
■ Angle bracket, one-half inch from the bottom-lef t corner of the
page, for use in image a lignm ent.
QMS 3825/3225/2025 System Administrators Guide1-8
Page 19
The Co n figu r ation Menus
The advanced status page prints multiple pages with the current menu configurati on sett ings and font informat ion in additi on to the standard status page information.
To select which type of status page to print, see “Status Page Type” in the Special Pages submenu in chapter 6. After setting which type of status page to print, press the Status Page key to print a status page.

The Configuration Menus

The Configuration menu is divided into three main menus: Installa­tion, Operator Control, and Admini strat ion.
■ The Installation menu, which appears only when the security disk
is inserted in the printer’s disk drive, is used to establish pass­words for the Operator Control and Administration menus, and to set the message window language.
■ The Operator Control me nu con trols the defau lt setting s of most
printer features.
■ The Administration menu is the largest of the three menus. It con-
trols the default settings of printer-ho st co mm uni ca tions, emula­tions, and other document-processing features.
Menus are arranged in a hierarchy as shown on the next page. To access the configuration menu:
■ Press the Online/O ffline key to take the printer off line.
■ Press the Menu key to access the menu.
The top line of the message window displays the current menu level, and the second line displays the first available option. Move down one level by pressing the Select key. The Next and Previous keys change the displayed option in the message window for the current menu level. The options in each level are arranged in a loop, so repeatedly pressing either the Next or Previous key returns you to the option starting poin t.

Changing Default Configu ra tion Settings

Changing Default Configuration Settings

There are two types of printer menu options: those that require you to choose from a selection of possible choices and those that require you to enter an alphanumeric value. Many default settings may never need changing.

Selection of Choices

If an option has choices, the second line of the message window dis­plays each choice one at a time. To view all the possible choices for that option, press the Next key repeatedly. The menu cycles through all the choices for that option. Th e Admini strat ion/ Com mun icati ons/ Serial/Baud Rate menu is an example of an option with a selection of choices. The following example shows how to change the baud rate for serial communicati on:
1 Press the Online/Offl in e key to take the printer off line. 2 Press the Menu key. The message wi nd ow displays

take effect until you save the changes and place the printer ba c k on line. Review “Saving Printer Conf igurat ion Chan ges” later in this chapter.

Alphanumeric Values

When an option requires a value, you enter the value one digit or character at a time. You use the Next and Previous keys to increase or decrease the displayed character or digit value. Spaces can also be used when a value, such as a password, must be an exact number of characters. The Copies option in the Operator Control menu is an example of an option that requires a value. The following instructions show how to change a value:
1 Press the Online/Offl in e key to take the printer off line. 2 Press the Menu key. The follo wing messa ge displays i n the

Then the message window displays the option’s name again.
You have now changed the copy count to 159 copies per print job. The change does not take effect until you save the change and pl ace the printer back on line. Review the next section, “Saving Printer Con­figuration Changes.”

Saving Printer Configuration Changes

Whenever you change a printer menu option, the printer prompts you to save the change before you place the printer back on line. Saving a menu change means that the new value of the option is recorded and stored in the printer’s memor y. Once stored in memory, the value takes effect automaticall y whenever the print er is turned on. Follow these steps to save your configuration changes:

Crown Accounting

Crown accounting, a tool to help you keep track of the use of printer resources, is available on your QMS Print System, with or without a network connection.
Paper use is the most commonly monitored resource. However, Crown accounting also allows you to monit or
■ paper use per user
■ time consumed serving each user’s jobs

Chain Inputbins

■ connectivity options
■ frequency of jams
■ times of peak use
■ number, complexity, and average size of jobs per user
■ commonly used features, such as duplexing or finishing
» Note:If yo u are connected to a network via TCP/IP, you h ave a choice of
using Crown accounting or the standard TCP/IP accounting through your U NIX host software. Se e the TCP/IP Prot ocol Option Users Guide for more information on TCP/IP acc ountin g.
As jobs are printed on the QMS printer, the system collects informa­tion about different job parameters in relation to the jobs. When each

job completes, th e printer stores an ent ry for the job in the Job Accounting file(s).
Caution:
Doing so may cause inconsistencies in the information stored.
Do not turn the pr inter off while th e disk is being accessed.

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 inf ormati on in a sin­gle job file or in multiple file s, and copy the a c counti ng inf ormat ion to a floppy disk.
Job accounting informat ion 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 so that each of the files (or segments) fits on a floppy disk.
Operator Control/Accounting Menu
Accounting Mode Disk Space Resetaccounting Job File Segment Copy to Floppy
Accounting Mode
The Accounting Mo de option enables or d isables job accounting. Choices are Enabled or Disabled with a default of Enabled. When you disable accounting, any files containing data remain untouched. How­ever, empty files are removed to save disk space.
Disk Space
The 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 3825/3225/2025 System Administrators Guide3-8
Page 45
Crown Accounting
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 value, 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.
If no accounting information exists in the system when shrinking the usage, the job accounting files are recreated using the new size. The printer does not ask for confirmation for th is opera tio n. It takes effect immediat el y.
Resetaccounting
The Resetaccounting option erases the A ccou nting 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
for more information on the rese ta ccou nt comm and .
Guide
When job files are more than 80% full but less than 100% full, the fol­lowing message displays on the control panel and remote conso le:

(

is the percentage full, reported as 85%, 90%, or 95%.) This is an appropriate time to copy these file s to floppies o r 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.
When the file is 100% full, the

» Note: When accounting is enabled and the Job Accounting files are
100% fu ll, no further print jobs are acc epted by the prin ter until Resetaccou ntin g is selected or until Acco u ntin g is disabled. If you disable Accountin g at this time, no job information is stor ed. You can retrieve your accou ntin g files while they ar e fu ll an d then do the Resetaccounting ope ratio n. Ho wever, to avoid delaying jo bs being sent to the printer, it is advisable to perform the retrieve/reset operations before the job accounting files fill up.
Job File Segment
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 defaul t. 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 th e 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 create s 5 files of 1 MB each and one of 500 KB. The Job file names will be ACC1.JOB, ACC2.JOB, and so on.
Copy to Floppy
This option copies each of the Accounting files to 1.44 MB, DOS -for­matted floppy disks, using the printe r’s internal floppy drive.
Insert a disk in the printer’s floppy drive, select the menu entry for the first file you want to copy, and press Select. It takes several minut es for the file to copy. When the copying is complete, the message win­dow displays
COPY TO FLOPPY *EXIT
QMS 3825/3225/2025 System Administrators Guide3-10
Page 47
Crown Accounting
Press Select and remove the disk. Then follow the same procedure to copy additional files, using a separate disk for each file. There is a menu entry for each possible file, but you need to copy only the ones you use. The last selection copies the auxiliary accounting files to the floppy disk. These files — ACC.STA, ACC.PAP, ACC.DIC — are described later in this chapter.
» Note: Take th e prin ter off line while r etrieving accounting files so that
no jobs will be sent during the r etrieval pro cess. Jobs sent while data is being retrieved m ay be lost from the accounting files.

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 evolv es.
» Note: Field 45 in the Job A ccounting File exam ple on page 3-13
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 p rovides information about the interface used, was added in response to a customer request.
Conventions
The following conventi ons are the same for job, paper, and status files:
■ Tag Ide nti fie rs These three-digit numbers are used to identify fields. The three-
digit number is used instead of a name to minimize use of disk space. The Dictionary file (ACC.DI C) provi des the field nam es associated with each tag identifier.
■ String Information String information for record fiel d values is stored inside braces
(for example, {this is a string}). This allows spaces within string s 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.
■ New Records New records are separated by a <CR> character to increase
readability.
■ 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.
QMS 3825/3225/2025 System Administrators Guide3-12
Page 49
Crown Accounting
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 exampl e, the value for the f ield ta gged 1 is the integer 3 and the value for the field tagged 2 is a string. The <CR> represents the carriage return character.

Accounting Files Description of Fields

This section includes examples of a job accounting file, a paper accounting file, and a status accounting file. Each exa mpl e is fol­lowed by a chart explaining the various fields, using data from the example to help clarify the fields.

Timeouts

Timeouts
For many print jobs, the time required for transmission from host to printer is negligible. However, some print jobs require more transmis­sion and processing time due to their size. The values in the Timeouts submenu help to ensure reliable tran smission while preventing the printer from being tied up by any one job.
COMMUNICATIONS TIMEOUTS
TIMEOUTS PS WAIT TIMEOUT

TIMEOUTS JOB TIMEOUT

PS Wait Timeout

The PostScript Wait Timeout value is the maximum number of sec­onds the printer waits on data for a PostS cript job in process. The range is 0 to 99999 seconds, and the default value is 30 seconds. If this time expires and no new data for the job in process has been received by the PostScript interpreter, the current job is closed. A value of 0 seconds means that the interpreter does not time out while waiting on more data.

Timeouts

Emul Timeout

The Emulation Timeout value is the maximum number of seconds the printer waits on data for a job (other than PostScript ) in pr ocess. The range is 0 to 99999 seconds, and the default value is 5 seconds. If this time expires and no new data for the job in process has been received by the printer, the current job is closed. A value of 0 seconds means that the printer does not time out wh ile waiting on m ore data.

Job Timeout

The Job Timeout value is the maximum number of seconds that the printer can process a PostScript job. The range is 0 to 99999 seconds and the default value is 0 seconds (infinity). A Job Timeout value greater than 0 seconds prevents jobs that contai n an unreco vera ble loop from remaining in the printer and blocking other jobs. However, if the Job Timeout value is too short, jobs that require extensive pro­cessing may not finish before time expires. This timeout ca n be over­ridden by your application.

ESP Timeout

The ESP Timeout value is the maximum number of seconds the printer attempts an emu lati on se lecti on using the Emulat ion Sensing Processor. The range is 0 to 99999 seconds and the default value is 3 seconds. If ESP cannot select an emulation before this time expires, the printer uses the default emulation to process the job (see chapter 5, “Emulations Su b men u”).
Do not set the ESP Timeout to 0 seconds unless you are using the PostScript interactive mode (see the Mode option in the foll owing section, “Serial Communicati on”). A value of 0 disables the timeout.

Serial Communication

Mode

The Mode option enables or disables the PostScript interactive mode from the host. The options are Noninteract ive, Inte ractive, and Dis­abled. Noninteractive establishes one-way comm unication f rom the host to the printer. Interactive establishes tw o-way comm unication between the host and the printe r. Disabled turns off serial communi­cation with the host so that the printer stops accepting print jobs over the serial interface. The default value is Interactive.

Emulation

The Emulation opt ion let s you set the serial interface’s default emu la­tion. You can select from the standard emulations supported by the printer (PCL 5, Lineprinte r, HP-GL, LN03 Plus, imPRESS , ESP, CCITT, and PostScript), an optional emulatio n, or Hexdump. The fac­tory default value is ESP.
Selecting Hexdump generat es a listing, in hexadecimal format , of all data received over the interface. Hexdump is useful for diagnosing communication problems.

Min K Spool

This five-digit value sets the minimum num ber of kilobytes of system memory dedicated to the serial interface. The range is 00000 to 99999 and the default value is 00015. See “Dedicating Memory to an Interface” in chapter 7 for informatio n about t he Min K Spool sett ing.

Spool Timeout

The Spool Timeout option is a numeric value for the number of sec­onds that the printer waits for addit ional data from the host while it is spooling a job. The range is 00000 to 99999 seconds and the default value is 00030 seconds. If you change this setting, you must ensure that the new setting does not conflict with the P S Wait Timeout and Emul Timeout values.
QMS 3825/3225/2025 System Administrators Guide4-6
Page 67
Serial Comm u nicatio n
If the Spool Timeout value expires before the printer has received all data for a job it is spooling, the printer terminates the spooled print job.

End Job M ode

This option selects the End of Job terminator to be used for the serial interface without con sideration fo r interacting timeou ts. There are three choices available: None, QMS EOD (%%EndOfDocument), and HP EOD (<ESC>%-12345X). Only one form of EOD can be used at a time. The def ault is QMS EOD. Refer to for more information on E nd Job Mode.
QMS Crown Network Notes

Def Job P rio

The Def Job Prio (Default Job Priority) option det ermi nes which jobs are printed first, according to the inte rface from which the y are received, when jobs are received simultaneousl y. The range is from 001 to 100 with 001 being the first job. The default is 001.

Baud Rate

Baud Rate is the data transmission rate used by the host. The baud rate options are 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 1920 0, and
38400. The default value is 9600. Set this option to match th e baud rate used by the host.
» Note: Baud rates 19200 and 38400 require RT S/CTS p rotocol (see
Hdwe Flow Ctl, later in this section ).

Parity

The Parity option allows you to choose the type of parity checking performed by the host. Parity acts as a check bit to identify data trans­mission errors. The options are None, Mark, Space, Odd, or Even. The default value is None. Set this option to match the parity used by the host.

Serial Communication

Ignore Parity

The Ignore Parity option specif ies how the printer should handle par­ity errors. Choices are On and Off. When I gnore Pari ty is Off, the printer reports parity errors by replacing the character(s) affected by the error with a question mark. When Ignore Parity is On, the printer ignores parity errors and prints its best interpretation of the charac­ter(s) affected by the error. The default is Off.

Rcv Sw Flow Ctl

If your host uses software flow control, the Rcv S w Flow Ctl (Receive Software Flow Control) option allo ws you to choose the type of flow control used by the printer for its communicat ion wit h the host. The choices are None, XON/XOFF, and ETX/ACK. The default value is XON/XOFF. Set this option to match the type of flow control expected by the host.

Xmit Sw Flow Ctl

If your host uses software flow control, the Xmit Sw Flow Ctl (Trans­mit Software Flow Control) option all ows you to choose the type of flow control used by the host for its communication with the printer. The choices are None, XON/XOFF, and ETX/ACK. The default value is None. Set this option to match the type of flow control used by the host.

Data Bits

The Data Bits option allows you to set the number of data bits per character in the data stream. The choices are 7 or 8 bits. The default value is 8 bits. Set this option to match the numb er of data bits trans­mitted by the host.

Stop Bits

The Stop Bits option allows you to set the number of stop bits per character in the data stream. The choices are 1 or 2 bits. The default
QMS 3825/3225/2025 System Administrators Guide4-8
Page 69
Serial Comm u nicatio n
value is 1 bit. Set this option to match the number of stop bit s trans ­mitted by the host.

Hdwe Flow Ctl

The Hdwe Flow Ctl (Hardware Flow Control) option allows you to pick the type of hardware flow control used by your host. The choices are DSR POL (default value: Lo), DSR (default value: Off), DTR POL (default value: Lo), DTR (default value: On), RTS (default value: Off), and CTS (default value: Off).
If your host uses hardware flow control, set this option to match the type used by the host.

PS Protocol

This option sets the binary communicat ions prot ocol (BCP ) for com­municating over a serial, parallel, or optional net work inte rface to a PostScript printer. Binary communications protocol allows any 8-bit binary value (0-255) to be treated as data, while allowing a few of the values to function as special control characters. When communicat­ing 8-bit binary data in Binary or Binary Fixed mode, the print er uses the quoting mechanism of the BCP to distinguish between the special control characters and print job binary data.
To differentiate data from the special control characters, any data that is the same as one of the following special control characters must be quoted:
ASCII Keyboard
^A SOH 0 x01 Quote data character ^C ETX 0x03 Abort job and flush to end of file ^D EOT 0x04 End-of-file marker ^E ENQ 0x05 (Reserved for future use) ^Q DC1 0x11 XON in XON/XOFF flow control ^S DC3 0x13 XOFF in XON/XOFF flow control

A data byte is quoted by replacing it with a two-character sequence. The first character is a ^A (ASCII hex 0x01), and the second charac­ter is the character itself XORed with the ASCII value 0x40. For example, to send the value 0x14 (^T) as data, send the two character sequence 0x01 0x54 (^A T) instead. (ASCII T in the example is the result of XORing ^T with 0x40.)
This method of quoting guarantees th at whenever any of the eight control characters is received by the printer, the control function is intended regardless of whether the preceding character is a ^A. Any data byte not equal to one of the eight special control characters is transmitted by sending the data byte.
The settings for this option are as follows: Normal enables standard, ASCII hex protocol . Data is sent and
received in ASCII format. Print jobs can alter this value through Post­Script operators. The default is Normal.
Normal Fixed enables standa rd, ASCII hex protocol. Print jobs can­not alter this value through PostScript operators.
Binary enables binary comm unications proto co l. Print jobs can alter this value through PostS cript operators.
Binary Fixed enables binary comm uni catio ns protocol. Print jobs cannot alter this value through PostScript operators.
» Note: Wh e n PS Protocol is set to the Nor m al Fixed or Binary Fixed
mode, and a print job sends PostSc r ip t oper ator s to change the input device mode, the operators are expected but not acted on.

The Spool Timeout option is a numeric value for the number of sec­onds that the printer waits for addit ional data from the host while it is spooling a job. The range is 00000 to 99999 seconds and the default value is 00030 seconds. If you change this setting, you must ensure that the new setting does not conflict with the P S Wait Timeout and Emul Timeout values.
If the Spool Timeout value expires before the printer has received all data for a job it is spooling, the printer closes the spooled print job.

Optional In terface

Connection

The Connection set-up option defi nes the type of connecti on you are using. The options are Conventional and S pool, with Conve ntional being the default. Spool allows you to use the AppleTalk protocol that manages interaction between workstations and print servers. This option allows print spoolin g. Conventional does not provide print spooling. Select Con venti onal to print directly to the printe r. Any change to this option takes effect only after turning the print er power off and on again.

Min K Spool

This five-digit value sets the minimum num ber of kilobytes of system memory dedicated to the AppleTalk interface. The range is 0 to 99999 seconds and the default is 00015. See “Dedicat ing M emo ry to an Interface,” in chapter 7, “Memory Submenu,” for information about the Min K Spool setting.

Def Job Prio

The Def Job Prio (Default Job Priority) option det ermi nes which jobs are printed first, according to the inte rface from which the y are received, when jobs are received simultaneously. The range is from 001 to 100. The default is 001, which is the highest priority.

Optional Interface

You can order an optional interface for your QMS printer so you can connect to other networks. If an optional interface is installed, it appears in the Communications subm enu. Refer to the interface doc ­umentation and to your network documenta tion for information on connecting your printer to the network and configuring it for network printing.

ESP Default Option

The ESP Default lets you set which emulat ion th e printer uses if the Emulation Sensing Processor ca nnot identify the emulation of a print job. ESP has a specific length of time within which it attempts to iden­tify the emulation (see “Timeouts” in chapter 4 of this manual). If thi s time expires, the printer automaticall y uses the emulat ion you select as ESP Default to process the job.
The choices for ESP Default are those emulations supporte d by the printer. The default value is PCL 5. If your print jobs are predomi­nantly one emulation, select that emulation as the ESP Default.

Line Termination

Line Term inat ion set s the printer response to a carriage return or line feed character while in PCL 5 emulation. The choice s are
CR = CR, LF = LF CR = CR + LF, LF = LF CR = CR, LF = CR + LF CR or LF = CR + LF
CR stands for carriage return. LF stands for line feed. Th e defau lt is CR=CR, LF=LF .

Point Size X100

This option sets the point size in hundredths for scalable default fonts (those listed with an asterisk [*] in the Default Font option s). For example, a 24-point default size is selected by entering 2400. Point sizes are selectable in increments of 25. The mini mum value is 25 (0.25 points), the ma ximum is 99975 (999. 75 point s), and the defaul t is 1200 (12 points).

Retain Temporary

Retain Temporary allows you to choose whether to retain temporary PCL 5 macros and fonts at the end of each print job. The options are Off (tempo ra ry fo nts and macros are delet ed at the end of each job), On (save the temporary macros and fonts), and On Compatibilit y (retain the entire state of PCL as well as the temporary macros, fonts, and patterns from previous PCL jobs). The default is Off.

Scalable Fonts

Scalable fonts allows you to specify whethe r to scale PCL 5 fonts. The options are Enable and Disable with the defau lt being Ena ble. Disabling Scalable fonts essenti ally recreates PCL 4 and allows you to prevent PCL4 documents from inadvertently selecting P CL 5 scal­able fonts.

Monochr ome GL/2

This option allows your printer to emulat e a monochrome or color plotter. Options are On (sets the printer to monochrome, or 2-pen) and Off (sets the printer to color, or 8-pen). When Monochrome GL/2 is set to On, grayscale patterns are substituted for colors. Default is On.

Downld Location

This option allows you to set the default storage f or PCL objects (fonts, macros, and patterns). Choices are Memory and Disk. If set to Memory, all downloaded PCL objects will by default reside in tempo­rary storage in RAM. If set to Disk, they will be stored in the default disk resource, if present. The default setting is Disk. Systems with a hard disk and large amounts of memory may enhance system perfor­mance by using Memory for PCL object storage. Docu men t Option Commands specifying locations fo r downloaded objects will override this setting on a per job basis.
» Note: It is po ssible to set Downld Loc ation to Disk even if no disk is
installed. If Disk is c h osen when no disk is present, mem or y will be use d for storage.

CCITT Groups 3 and 4

By adding the QMS DOC %%In cludeF eatur e:em ulatio n (ccit t) to the beginning of your file, you can access the printer-resident CCITT Group 3 and 4 emulation.

CCITT Commands

The CCITT command language consists of ASCII text strings that set options for the CCITT emul ati on. The opti ons must be set on a per-image basis because they are returned to their defaul t values after each image is decompressed. If the correct decompression options are not set before the decompression begi ns, the emul atio n absorbs the data until it finds a valid end-of-job marker.
Unlike QMS DOC, CCITT commands do not need to be placed at the beginning of a document but can be placed where needed.
The remainder of this section provides the function , syntax, and default settings of all available CCI TT com ma nds.
