ACHTUNG! Bitte halten Sie sich exakt an die im Handbuch beschriebene Vorgenhensweise, da sonst Verletzungsgefahr bestehen könnte.

Printer Features

This brief overview will acquaint you with your printer’s major features and how they can benefit you. Specific chapters throughout the three volumes of the user’s guide (this manual, the Operation manual, and the Reference manual) contain more information on each feature.

Consult the index or the table of contents in each manual for guidance in locating this information.

Media Flexibility

The printer supports print media in five different sizes (legal, letter, executive, A4, B5 ISO) in both portrait and landscape orientations. It also supports envelopes, postcards, and other custom print media.

User Benefit—You have the option of printing on a variety of standard and non-standard media sizes in both portrait and landscape orientations, as well as printing on envelopes, postcards, and other custom print media.

Toner Savings

The printer provides toner savings with the Conserve Toner option.

User Benefit—A choice of printing modes allows you to lower printing costs by reducing the amount of toner on the printed page when printing draft copies of documents.

1-14	QMS 1060 Print System Getting Started

Printer

Features

Multiple Resolutions

Two printer resolutions are available: 300x300 and 600x600 dots per inch.

»Note: With the standard 8 MB of RAM on the QMS 1060 printer 300x300 dpi is available for all media sizes and 600x600 dpi is available for all media sizes except legal which requires additional memory.

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

Four Resident Emulations

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

User Benefit—Most applications can print directly to the printer.

HP PCL 5 Emulation

The printer simultaneously emulates the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet IIISi and the HP PaintJet XL300 Color Printer (the output is grayscaled on your QMS 1060 Print System). These printers are emulated at both 300x300 dpi (bitmap and scalable fonts) and 600x600 dpi (scalable fonts only).

»Note: Using 600x600 dpi resolution with the legal media size requires additional memory. Only 300x300 dpi resolution is available for HPGL/2.

HP-GL Emulation

The printer provides HP-GL plotter emulation (7470A, 7475A, 7550A, and ColorPro) at 300x300 dpi and 600x600 dpi.

»Note: Using 600x600 dpi resolution with the legal media size requires additional memory.

Introduction

1-15

Printer

Features

Lineprinter Emulation

The Lineprinter emulation prints simple, unformatted text files at 300x300 and 600x600 dpi.

»Note: Using 600x600 dpi resolution with the legal media size requires additional memory.

PostScript Level 2 Emulation and Level l Compatibility

The QMS 1060 Print System’s Level 2 emulation allows you to take full advantage of your printer’s high print resolution. The Level 2 emulation is compatible with Adobe’s PostScript Level 2 language while providing additional capabilities. The Level 2 emulation supports extensive graphics capabilities to control the appearance of text, geometric shapes and images, and improves memory and resource management. Full support for PostScript 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 scalable 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 downloading.

QMS Crown Technology

The QMS Crown multitasking operating system provides fast processing speeds, networking capability, 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, compiles, processes, and prints multiple documents at the same time—true multitasking. The printer has a variety of resources that it uses to print the page. Memory, emulations, 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, com- pile-ahead technology uses the available printer memory 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 Print System is actually printing the third page of a five-page document, pages four, five, and the next job in the queue are already compiled into the compressed data format.

User Benefit—With multitasking, your jobs are printed more quickly, and the host is free sooner. With compile-ahead technology you spend less time waiting for documents to print. This improves printer throughput and increases your productivity.

Simultaneous Interface Operation (SIO)

Although many other printers have multiple interface ports and automatically designate a “hot port,” only one port actively receives data at a time. Your QMS 1060 Print System is unique because SIO allows all of its interface ports—LocalTalk, parallel (Centronics and bidirectional IEEE 1284), serial, and two optional network interfaces—to 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 computer sending print jobs to the printer. Each interface has an input buffer (which may be expanded with additional memory or an optional hard disk) that receives data while another interface is being used to print.

Introduction

1-17

Printer

Features

Emulation Sensing Processor (ESP) Technology

Most printers can recognize only their native command language. However, ESP technology, which works with most popular commercially available applications, uses a form of artificial intelligence to analyze incoming file data and select the appropriate printer emulation from those installed on the printer, and processes the print job.

User Benefit—When your printer is in ESP mode, you can easily print PostScript, HP PCL 5, HP-GL, or Lineprinter documents without changing printer switch settings or sending software commands to accommodate different printer languages.

The QMS 1060 Print System prints almost any file sent in a language ESP technology understands, whether you have one, two, or more hosts, and whether you are communicating 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

After its initial use, the state of an emulation and downloaded data (such as fonts, macros, and overlays when changing emulations) is preserved for as long as the printer power is on.

User Benefit—Repetitive downloading of emulations, fonts, macros, and overlays is unnecessary.

Compressed Data Formats

Crown printers convert data received from the input buffers 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 many more can be stored in memory at one time than can traditional bitmapped images.

User Benefit—This allows and increases the speed of such printer features as collation and automatic jam recovery, if enabled.

1-18	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 continues with the print job. This is possible because compressed data formats allow more pages to be stored in memory. The printer remembers the last page printed, pulls the necessary information from memory, and automatically reprints any lost pages.

User Benefit—You save time and print media because 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 regulations. 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 system, which allows you to replace or upgrade its system software from a Macintosh, a PC, or over any network interface.

User Benefit—Future enhancements to the system software can be easily installed as they become available from QMS.

Introduction

1-19

Printer

Features

Remote Console

The 1060 Print System printer allows you to establish a remote console connection via TCP/IP Telnet, and you can additionally use NetWare, EtherTalk, and LAN Manager/LAN Server to establish this connection, if you have the optional CrownNet interface installed. Printer status conditions that require user intervention display on the remote console. For example, status messages may indicate that paper is low, output bin is full, or a paper jam has occurred. (Refer to the QMS CrownNet Interface System Administrator’s Guide for information on how to start the session, and refer to the QMS Crown Remote Console User’s Guide for complete information on using a remote console to control and configure the printer.)

User Benefit—The ability to control your printer from a remote console as well as from the printer’s own control panel means you don’t have to leave your work station whenever the printer needs attention. Moreover, it means you’ll know right away if the printer is tied up with a jam or other simple problem requiring user intervention.

PCMCIA Card Slot

A PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) card slot is available to support Release 1 and 2, Type I, II and III cards.

User Benefit—This card slot allows you to use optional fonts or emulations (see “Printer Options,” in the following section).

Printer Options

The following options are available for your QMS 1060 Print System. Contact your QMS vendor for purchase information.

Upgradable RAM (Random Access Memory)

The 8 megabytes (MB) of resident RAM (Random Access Memory) is upgradable to 64 MB through the installation of Single In-line Memory Modules (SIMMs).

1-20	QMS 1060 Print System Getting Started

Printer

Features

User Benefit—Your printer’s memory can be upgraded as your needs grow. Additional RAM provides room for font downloading and font caching, and it increases the printer’s buffer (the area where data sent from the host computer is stored), allowing you to send large data-intensive files to the printer without tying up the host for long periods. Additional RAM also allows you to attach and use multiple SCSI drives.

500-Sheet Cassette, Optional Cassette, Optional Cassette and Feeder, and 50-Envelope Cassette

These options increase the printer’s media feed capacity and flexibility. Your printer comes standard with a multipurpose tray to handle 150 sheets of 20-pound (75 g/m2) paper in letter, A4, legal, executive, or B5 ISO sizes, or 10 envelopes. The 500-sheet cassette is capable of supporting letter or A4 paper. The optional cassette and feeder supports another 500 sheets of paper in letter, A4, or legal sizes, for a total input of 1150 sheets, including the multipurpose tray. The optional 50-envelope cassette allows you to feed 50 envelopes instead of the 10 allowed in the multipurpose tray.

User Benefit—You can customize the printer’s media input sources to your printing needs and double the amount of paper available before refilling cassettes. The envelope cassette increases 5-times the number of envelopes that can be handled by the multipurpose tray.

Optional Fonts

Optional fonts are available in several different formats.

nThe PCL ProCollection and special PostScript fonts are either contained on PCMCIA cards or must be downloaded to an optional printer hard disk. Optional font cards are plugged into the slot on the back of the printer.

Introduction

1-21

Features

nKanji fonts Ryumin Light-KL and Gothic BBB Medium licensed to QMS by Morisawa and Company, Ltd. and the fonts Mincho Medium, Mincho Heavy, Gothic Bold, and Gothic Heavy licensed to QMS by TypeBank are on a pre-formatted IDE hard disk. These fonts are available with the Kanji Option Kit and they can be printed at a variety of point sizes and in different styles and resolutions.

nThe Intellifont SIMM increases the number of PCL 5 fonts from 20 to 37 for compatibility with the LaserJet 4Si.

User Benefit—Optional fonts increase the printer’s functionality. Extra fonts allow you to create more distinctive documents.

Optional Emulations

Optional emulations, such as LN03 Plus and QUIC II are contained on diskettes and must be downloaded to an optional printer hard disk. Contact your QMS vendor for a complete list of available emulations.

User Benefit—Extra emulations allow you to print documents created in printer languages other than those resident on the printer.

Security Card

An optional security card allows you to password-protect the printer’s configuration menu. Optional security cards are plugged into the PCMCIA card slot on the back of the printer.

User Benefit—A security card restricts access to the configuration menu to those users with valid passwords, ensuring that default settings are not changed inappropriately.

1-22	QMS 1060 Print System Getting Started
