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
