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.
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 for the full-page frame buffer).

The imageable areas for print media on your QMS 4060 Print System may vary 1/16" (1.6 mm). This is normal mechanical engine alignment tolerances. You can adjust the alignment of 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 PostScript translate and scale operators to reduce image size and change its placement on the page.
Print Media |

Media Types
and Weights
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.
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.
See appendix B, “Technical Specifications,” for information on typical types of labels.
The printer supports 31-36 lb (120-139 g/m2) labels.
Use paper recommended for laser printers, such as Hammermill Laser Print. See appendix B, “Technical Specifications,” for information on typical types of paper.
2-4 |
QMS 4060 Print System Reference |
The printer supports the following weights of paper:
nPaper trays—17-36 lb (64-139 g/m 2)
nLarge-Capacity Input Feeder—17-36 lb (64-139 g/m 2)
See appendix B, “Technical Specifications,” for information on typical types of transparencies.
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
See appendix B, “Technical Specifications,” for information on storage conditions for media.

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

About
Typefaces and
Fonts
One way of classifying the different typefaces is to group them into the following categories:
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” 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 typefaces simulate handwriting or brush lettering. Each letter is connected visually, if not
Zapf Chanceryphysically. ITC Zapf Chancery is a script typeface.

About
Typefaces and
Fonts
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.
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.
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- alphabet faces place each character according

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.
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 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 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 |

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 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

derive from painting; a portrait is usually a vertical view while a landscape is usually a horizontal view.
