Printer Features

Multiple Resolutions

Two printer resolut ions are availab le: 300 x300 and 600x600 dots per inch.

» Note:

With the standard 8 MB of RAM on the QMS 1060 printe r 300x300 dpi is available for all media sizes and 600x600 dpi is available for all media sizes excep t legal which requires additional memory.

User Benefit—A choice of print resolutions allows you to customize the quality of your output accordi ng to its use: 300x300 dpi for most hardcopy needs or 600x600 dpi for camera-ready output (depending on your application and requirement s ).

Four Resident Emulations

Your printer supports printing in HP PCL 5, HP-GL, Lineprinter, and PostScript emulations.

User Benefit—Most applicat ion s can print directly to the printer.

HP PCL 5 Emulation

The printer simultaneously emu lates the Hewlet t-Packard LaserJet IIISi and the HP PaintJet XL300 Colo r Printer (the out put is g rayscaled on your QMS 1060 Print Sy stem). These printers are emulated at both 300x300 dpi (bitmap and scalable fonts) and 600x600 dpi (scalable font s only).

» Note:

Using 600x600 dpi resolution with the legal media size requires additional memor y. Only 300x300 dpi resolution is available for HPGL/2.

HP-GL Emulation

additional mem or y.

PostScript Level 2 Emulation and Level l Compatibility

The QMS 1060 Print Sy stem’s Level 2 emulati on allows you to take full advantage of your printer’s high print resolution. The Level 2 em ulation is compatible with Adobe’s Post Script Level 2 language while providing additional capabilities. The Level 2 emul ati on sup ports extensive graphics capabilities to cont rol the appearance of text, geometric shapes and images, and improves memory and resource management. Full support for Post Script Level 1 files is also included.

Resident Fonts and Symbol Sets

Your printer comes with 12 PostScript typeface families containing 39 licensed fonts, and it provides support for any TrueType font that’s in the format required for PostScript. All resident PostScript typeface families have multilingual character sets. The printer also has 7 resident bitmap PCL 5 fonts in 25 symbol sets each, 12 resident scalable PCL 5 fonts in 35 symbol sets each, 1 resident scalabl e PCL 5 font in 5 symbol sets, and 40 resident HP-GL symbol sets.

User Benefit—With so many resident fonts and symbol sets, there is less need for time-consuming downloadin g.

QMS Crown Technology

The QMS Crown multitasking operat ing s ystem provides fast processing speeds, net working capabi lity, and higher printer performance while maintaining outstanding print quality.

1-16

QMS 1060 Print System Getting Started

Printer Features

Multitasking and Compile-Ahead Technology

Your printer receives, compi les, processes, and print s multipl e do cuments at the same time—true mul titasking. The print er has a variety of resources that it uses to print the page. Memory, emul ations, and the laser printer engine (the mechanical parts that actually put toner on the page) are all resources of the printer.

Compile-ahead technology is the temporary storage of page images in a proprietary compressed data format . It makes maximum use of the memory resource. While the engine is busy printing a page, compile-ahead technology uses the availa ble printer mem ory to prepare the subsequent pages of the document (or the next job). These page images are available as soon as the current page is printed. For example, while the QMS 1060 Pri nt Sy stem is actually print ing the third page of a five-page docum ent, pages four, five, and the next job in the queue are already compiled into the compressed data format .

User Benefit—With mul titasking, your job s are printed more quic kly, and the host is free sooner. With compile -ahead te chnology you spend less time waiting for documents to print. This improves printer throughput and increases your productivity.

Simultaneous Interface Operation (SIO)

Although many other print er s have multiple interfa ce ports and automatically designate a “hot port,” only one port actively receives data at a time. Y our QMS 1060 Print System is unique because SIO allows all of its interface ports—LocalTalk, parallel (Centronics and bidirectional IEEE 1284), serial, and two opt iona l netwo rk interfa ce s—t o be active at the same time.

The standard interfaces let you connect to any Macintosh or IBM PC or compatible. The printer also works in many minicomputer, mainframe computer, and network environments.

User Benefit—You can have more than one co mpu ter sending print jobs to the printer. Each inte rface has an input buffer (which may be expanded with additional memory or an option al hard disk) that receives data while another interf ace is being used to print.

Introduction

1-17

Printer Features

Emulation Sensing Processor (ESP) Technology

Most printers can recognize only their native comma nd languag e. However, ESP technology, which works with most popular commercially available applicati ons, uses a form of artificial int ell igence to analyze incoming file data and select th e appropriat e printer emula tion from those installed on the printer, and processes the print job.

User Benefit—When your printer is in ESP mo de, you can easily print PostScript, HP PCL 5, HP-GL, or Lineprinter documents without changing printer switch settings or sending softwa re commands to accommodate different printer langua ge s.

The QMS 1060 Print System prints almost any file sent in a language ESP technology understands, whet her you have one, two, or more hosts, and whether you are communicatin g through an LocalTalk, Centronics or bidirectional IEEE 1284 parallel, serial, or optional network interface. Most users never have to change from ESP mode to another mode.

Context Switching

1-18

After its initial use, the state of an emulat ion and downl oaded dat a (such as fonts, macros, and overlays when changing emulation s) is preserved for as long as the printer power is on.

User Benefit—Repetit ive download ing of emulat ion s, font s, m acros, and overlays is unnecessary.

Compressed Data Formats

Crown printers convert data received from the input buffer s into intermediate, compressed blocks until the data is needed for printing. These compressed blocks of data are designed to be processed rapidly by the printer, and m any mo re can be stored in memor y at one time than can traditional bitmapped image s.

User Benefit—This allows and increa se s the speed o f such printer features as collation and aut oma tic jam recovery, if enabled.

QMS 1060 Print System Getting Started

Printer Features

Automatic Jam Recovery

Crown technology also provides automatic jam recovery, if enabled. With most printers, if a media jam occurs, you must remove the jammed media and then reprint the job. If a media jam occurs on a Crown printer, however, the printer reprints the jammed page as soon as you remove the jammed media and then continue s with the print job. This is possible because compressed dat a format s allow more pages to be stored in memory. The print er remem bers the last page printed, pulls the necessary inform ation from mem or y, and automatically reprints any lost pages.

User Benefit—You save time and print media beca use it’s unnecessary to resend a print job after clearing a media jam.

Energy Star Compliance

The QMS 1060 Print System is compliant with US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Energy Star regulat ion s. After a specified length of inactivity, the printer changes to a low-power state (the engine remains on, but the fuser turns off). When a print job is received the printer returns to normal power within 90 seconds.

User Benefit—The EPA Energy Star Computers program promotes the use of energy-efficient personal computers, monitors, and printers and the reduction of air pollution caused by power generation.

Software Loadable System (SLS)

Your printer has a software loadable s ystem, which allows you to replace or upgrade its system software from a Macintosh, a PC, or over any network interface.

User Benefit—Future enhancem ents to the system software ca n be easily installed as they become available from QMS.

Introduction

Installing Consumables

You must install the toner cartridge, load and install the cassette, connect the power cord, and print the start-up page before you can install any options.

Installing the Toner Cartridge

In your laser printer, character s and images are created through a process that applies toner (made of carbon particles) to the page in the printer’s fusing unit. When an image is formed, heat and pressure are applied to transfer the image to the page. The toner cartridge contains the toner and photosensitive drum needed to operate the laser printer. You may purchase additional t oner cartridges from your QMS vendor.

Installing Consumables

» Note:

Setting Up Your Printer

The toner cartridge is sensitive to bright light. Do not remove the cartridge from its protective bag unt il you are ready to install it. Store the cartridge in an environment that is not subject to extreme heat or humidity. Ke ep the toner cartridge away from your comput er. The magnets in the cartridge can damage data, particularly on your floppy disks.

1 Lift the toner cartri dg e out of its sh ippi ng carto n, ope n the

aluminum pr otecti ve bag , and remove the cartrid ge.

After taking the toner cartridge from its protective bag, do not open the cover or touch the PC drum of the toner cartridge because it may deteriorate the drum and reduce print quality.

2 Remove the tape seal.

Holding the cartridge in place with your right hand, use your left hand to grasp the green tab on the left side of the toner cartridge. Pull the tab straight out (it is about 22''/559 mm long). If the tab

Printer-host interface

Connecting via the LocalTalk Port

Introduction

This chapter explains what an interface is, describes how to connect your printer to a Macintosh (or another computer on a network tha t uses LocalTalk-type connectors and boxes).

Using an Optional Network Interfaces

In addition to the three standard interfaces—LocalTalk, parallel (bidirectional), and serial—the QM S 1060 Print System has the option of using two optional interfaces to connect your printer to an Ethernet or Token-Ring network.

If you have purchased an optional interface for your printer, refer to the following for more information:

If you’ve purchased an optional net work interf ace for the print e r, see chapter 6, “Printer Options,” of the as the documentation that comes with the interface for installation instructions.

The documentation th at come s with the optional netwo rk interface contains information about all other options in the net work interface menu as well as instructions for connecting the printer to the network and for printing over the net work.

Your application and netwo rk document ation co ntai n informat ion on printing over the network.

Using the LocalTalk Interface

Connecting to the LocalTalk port involves basically three steps: assembling the proper interface cabling (use a LocalT alk-type kit such as Farallon's PhoneNET, available from your QM S vend or), making the connection, and making sure the necessary printing files are installed on the Macinto sh.

Your host is any member of the Apple Macintosh fami ly. The instructions in this chapter explain how to connect a Maci ntosh (via either a direct connection or through a LocalTalk network connection) to the QMS 1060 Print System.

Your host is an IBM PC or compatible microcomputer, workstation, minicomputer, or mainframe computer that connects through a print network (such as AppleShare) using LocalTalk-type connectors and boxes.

If you’re connecting to a host such as these, you may need additional hardware or software. See your host or network documentation for details specific to your setup.

Interface

Interface is the point at which two elements connect so they can work together. Printer-host interface is the way a printer connects to and works with a host (for example, a microcomputer, minicomputer, mainframe compute r, or a netwo rk), and it involves both hardware and software. The way your printer interfaces with a host depends on many things, including computer type, computer ports available, interface cabling, application software, printer emulations, and printer drivers.

Macintosh Interface Cabling

Introduction

This chapter explains what an interface is and describes how to connect your printer to a PC via the parallel port and/or the serial port.

Interface

Interface is the point at which two elements connect so they can work together. Printer-computer interface is the way a printer connects to and works with a computer (a microcomputer, workstation, minicomputer, mainframe computer, or a network), and it involves both hardware and software. The way your printer interfaces with a computer depends on many things, including comput er type, compu ter ports available, interf ace cabling, appli ca tio n softwa re, print er emul ati ons, and printer drivers.

Optional Interfaces

In addition to the three standard interfaces—LocalTalk, bidirectional parallel, and serial—the QM S 1060 Print Syst em has the option of using two optional interfaces to connect your printe r to an Ethernet or Token-Ring network.

If you’ve purchased an optional interface for your printer, see chapter 6, “Printer Options” of the tion that comes with the interface for installati on instructions.

Before Making the Connection

If you have new PC and it has not been connected yet, before connecting the printer to the PC, you should follow the m anuf acturer’s instructions for setting up the PC and installing (if necessary) any operating system software, such as DOS and and/ or Windo ws.

QMS 10 60 Pr int Syste m G e tting Start e d4-2

Before Making the Connection

What You Need

Interface cables are not included with your printer. If you’re replacing a printer, you may already have the necessary cables. If not, you’ll need to purchase the cables from your QMS vendor or a local computer store.

To connect your printer to a single PC, you need one of the following:

A parallel cable with a 36-pin male and a 25-pin mal e connector

A serial cable with either a 9-pin female and a 9- or 25-pin con-

(depending on your computer’s serial port) and a null

nector modem adapter.

» Note:

See the “Cable Pinouts” section of appendix B , in the Reference guide

for cable pinout inform ati on.

How to Choose a Cable

Parallel cable— If a parallel port is available on your comput e r, we recommend using a parallel cable. Your print er supports both Centronics parallel and IEEE 1284 bidirectional parallel communication. The type of parallel cable you use depends on the type of parallel communicati on your comput er supports (che ck your comput er user’s guide if you’re unsure).

If your computer supports only IEEE 1284 bidirectional parallel communicatio n, you need an IEEE 1284 bidirect ional parallel cable (IEEE 1284 is indicated on cable) . This cable mu st be 6.5 feet/2 meters or less in length.

If your computer supports only Centronics parallel unidirectional communication, you may use either a Centronics paralle l cable (marked on cable) or an IEEE 1284 bidirectional parallel cable (IEEE 1284 is indicated on the cable). However, we recommend an IEEE 1284 cable. It must be 6.5 feet/2 meters or less in length while the Centronics cable may be longer.

Connecting to a PC

Making the Connection

Serial cable—If the print er is more th an 6.5 feet/ 2 met ers from the computer, we re commend using a serial cable for better communication. For best results, the printer and computer should be less than 25 feet/7.6 meters from each other.

If the printer’s serial port settings are different from your PC’s settings, use the printer control panel , as described in the following section, “Changing Serial Port Settings,” to make them match.

Changing Serial Settings

Since your printer is configured at the factory for the most typical printing environments, the serial settings in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and on the start-up page should be the same. However, if they differ, you must configure the printer to u se the serial settings specif ied in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

PC Printing Software

If you're replacing a PostScript printer, you can probably start printing now with the printing software already in place. Refer to your application documentation for instructions on sending document s to the printer.

However, if you want to be able to use all your printer's special features (like collation, 600x600 dpi printing, and gamma correction), or if you've never printed to a PostScript printer before, we recommend you take a few minutes to make sure you have the following printing software installed:

PS Executive Series Util ities

A PostScript printer driver

Printer description files (if you use QuarkXPress 3.3, Aldus PageMaker, or Adobe PhotoShop)

Installing PS Executive Series Printer Utility Software

PS Exec, included on the DOS format disks we shipped with your printer, is a utilities program for controlling the printer from the PC. For example, through PS Exec you can turn off the start-up page, rename the printer, download fonts, print font samples, and m anage hard disks. Many of the procedures described in this manual involve using PS Exec. The README file on the PS Executive disk explains how to install the program, and the on-line help explai ns how to use it.

Installing a PostScript Printer Driver

If you're using Wind ows , we recomm end that you inst all th e QMS-developed Windows driver, which is on the disk called Windows Drivers (shipped with the print e r). Instructio ns for in stall ing and acti vating the driver are in the next section.

Connecting to a PC

4-11

PC Printing Software

If you're using a non-Wi nd ows applic atio n, read the printing se ction of the application document ation for inf ormatio n on choosing a PostScript driver. If the application does not provide a PostScript driver, contact the application manufacturer to see if one has become available since you bought the program. Also, P ostScript drivers for some applications are availabl e through the QM S bulleti n board and through CompuServe; see appendix A, “QMS Customer Support,” for information.

Also, check to see if application notes (tips for printing from specific applications) are available for your applicat ion from Q-FAX, the QMS bulletin board, or CompuSe r ve. Appendix A, “QMS Custom er Support,” explains how to use these QMS informatio n services.

Installing the QMS Windows Driver

The QMS-developed Window s driver supports all the printer's features. Use the following procedure to install the driver:

1 With Windows ru nn ing on your PC, insert the QM S “Win-

dows Driver” disk (shipped with your printer) in the PC’s 3.5" disk drive.

2 Open the Windo ws Con trol Panel, and doubl e-cli ck the

Printer’s icon.

The Control Panel icon is usually located in the Program Manager’s Main window.

3 In the Printers dialog box, choose the Add button. 4 From the List of Printers that appears , choose Install

Unlisted or Updated Printer, and then choose the Install button.

5 In the text box that appears, type the name of the di sk drive

(for example, a: \) the Windows Dri ver di sk is in, and then choose OK.

QMS 10 60 Pr int Syste m G e tting Start e d4-12

6 In the Add Unlisted or Updated Printer dialog box, select the

appropriate printer:

If you’re using the QMS Level 2 Windows printer driver, select your printer (for example, QMS 1060 Level 2) from the list of printers, and choose OK.

Otherwise, select QMS PostScript Printer, and choose OK.

» Note:

If you see the message Insert Microsoft

Windows 3.1 Disk #5 or a disk with the updated SSERIFF.FON file in..., choose Cancel.

7 When QMS 1060 Level 2 appears in the list of printer s,

choose the Connect button to configure the printer port.

8 In the Connect dialog bo x, select the app rop ri ate compu ter

port in the Ports list, and then choo se OK.

9 Choose the Setup button to configu re the printer’s default

settings:

If you’re using the QMS Level 2 Windows printer drive r, on the setup tabs select the appropriate default settings.

Otherwise, in the PostScript Printer on xxx dialog box, select your printer (for example, QMS 1060) in the Printer dropdown list box, and select the appropriate def ault settin gs.

10 Choose OK to return to the Printers di alo g box. 11 Choose Set As Default Printer to make the QM S printer the

default printer.

12 Repeat steps 3-10 to install the QMS driver for other ports, or

choose Close to exit from the Printers dialo g box.

Now you can set printer options from your applicat ion by choosing Print Setup from the application’s File menu and then ch oosing the Options button. Choose the Help button in any of the driver dialog boxes for information on driver options.
