QMS 1060E Print System Getting Started

Printer Features

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 ).

Three Standard Interfaces

In addition to the Centronics and IEEE 1284 parallel and serial interfaces, you printer provides a standard Ethernet (CrownNet) inte rface that allows you to connect to EtherTalk, LAN Manager/LA N Se r ver, NetWare, and TCP/IP networks. An optional LocalTAlk interface card is also available to connect to a single Macintosh or a LocalTalk network.

User Benefit—You can connect a comp uter direct ly to the printer’s parallel and serial interfaces or use the Ethernet interface to connect to a wide variety of microcomputers, workstations, min icomputers, and mainframe comput er s on four different networks.

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 1060E Prin t System ). These printers are emulated at both 300x300 dpi (bitmap and scalable fonts) and 600x600 dpi (scalable font s only).

Printer Features

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 mem or y.

Lineprinter Emulation

The Lineprinter emul ati on prints sim ple, unform at ted text files at 300x300 and 600x600 dpi.

» Note:

Using 600x600 dpi resolution with the legal media size requires additional mem or y.

PostScript L ev el 2 Emulation and L eve l l Compatibility

The QMS 1060E 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 Post Script Level 2 language while providing additional capabilities. The Level 2 emul ati on sup ports extensive graphics capabilities to control 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 S ets

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.

1-10

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

QMS 1060E Print System Getting Started

Printer Features

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.

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 print er 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 1060E Prin t System is actually printing 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. Your QMS 1060E Print System is unique because SIO allows all of its interface ports—Ethernet, parall el (Centron ics and bidirectional IEEE 1284 ), se rial, an d one o ptio nal int erface (E thernet network, Token-Ring, or LocalTalk)—to be active at the same time.

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

Introduction

1-11

Printer Features

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 optional hard disk) that receives data while another interf ace is being used to print.

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 comm ands to accommodate different printer langua ge s.

The QMS 1060E Print System prints alm ost any fil e sent in a language ESP technology understands, whether you have one, two, or more hosts, and whether you are commu nicat ing throu gh an Ethernet, Centronics or bidirectional IEEE 1284 parallel , serial, or optional network interface. Most users never have to change from ESP mode to another mode.

1-12

Context Switching

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 Da ta 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.

QMS 1060E Print System Getting Started

Printer Features

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.

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 1060E Print System is compliant with US Environmental Prote ction 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.

Introduction

1-13

Printer Features

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

Remote Console

The Ethernet (CrownNet) network interface and its accompanying software allow the 1060E Print Syst em to establish a remote console connection via TCP/IP Telnet, NetWare, EtherTalk, and LAN Manager/LAN Server. Print er 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

tor’s Guide

QMS Crown Rem ote Console User’s Guide

the tion on using a remote console to control and configure the printer.)

User Benefit—The ability to control your printe r 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 , i t means you’ll know right away if the printer is tied up with a jam or other simple problem requiring user intervention.

Printer Features

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).

User Benefit—Your printe r’s memory can be upgraded as your needs grow. Additiona l 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 with out t ying up the host for long periods. Additional RAM also allows you to attach and use mult iple SCSI drives.

500-Sheet Cassette, Optional Cassette and Feeder, and 50-Enve lope Cassette

These options increase the printer ’s media feed capacity and flexibil ity. Your printer co mes standard w ith a multipurpose tray to handle 150 sheets of 20-pound (75 g/m 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 mul tipurpose tr ay. The optional 50-envelope cassett e allows you to feed 50 envelopes instead of the 10 allowed in the multipurpose tr ay.

) paper in letter, A4, legal, executive,

User Benefit—You can cu stom ize the printe r’s media input sour ces 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 mult ipurpose tray.

Optional Fonts
