Dear Customer,

Mark Twain once said that only two things in life are certain: death and taxes. Well, if he were living t oday, we're sure he'd add m anual s to this list. Just about everything you buy is accompanied by a manual—and your new QMS printer is no exception.

Now, we know that even though we've devot ed our lives to writing manuals, very few people actually enjoy reading th em. So we've written this user’s guide with you in mind. However, there are as many of you out there as there are printers, and you all need something different. Because of this, we've tried to design your user’s guide to help you reach your destination as quickly and easily as possible:

Tabl e of Contents— U se this section as a road map to discover what there is to see in t he user’s guide.

About the Documentati on —T his section functions as a Welcome Center. It gives you an idea about what's in this city (your guide to getting started) as well as in other nearby cities (other printer documentation).

About This Manual— As long as you're at the Welcome Center, you probably want a list of local attractions. This section lets you know which chapters you really shouldn't miss and which you need to visit only if you have the time and interest, or a special purpose. It's pretty much the same information as in the table of contents, but in a descriptive format.

Headers, Footers, and Tab Dividers—Use these as roa d signs to help you locate the section of the manual yo u want to visit.

Index—While some people like to wander through a city, stopping wherever they find something interesting , others like to call ahead to make a reservation for a specific hotel or restaurant. Our Blue Pages help you find information quickly without unnecessary detours. Easy on, easy off. We think you'll find the blue color especially useful since you’ll have more than one manual in the binder.

We hope you enjoy your new QMS printer (and traveling through it s manuals, too!)

Your QMS Technical Writer

Printer Features

This brief overview will acquaint you with your printer’s major features and how they can benefit you. Specific chapters throughout this manual, the operation manual, and the reference manual cont ain mo re information on each feature. Consult the index or the table of contents in each manual for guidance in locating thi s inf orm ati on.

Media Flexibility

The printer supports print med ia in 14 different sizes—11"x17"/

279.40x431.80, full ledger (full -bleed 11"x17" on 11.70"x17. 40"/

297.18x441.96 mm me dia), 11.7"x19.5"/297.18x495.30 mm, A3, A4, A5, A6 (postcard), B4, B5, B6, executive, legal, letter, and universal)—and in both portrait and landscape orientations. The multipurpose tray also supports custom print media in sizes ranging from 3.9" to 11. 7" (101 mm to 297 mm) wide and from 5.8" to 19.5" (147 mm to 495 mm) long.

User Benefit—You have the option of printing on a variety of standard and non-standard media sizes, including full ledger (11.70x17. 40/ 297. 18x441. 96 mm) and 11.70"x19.5"/297.18x495. 30 mm, which provide full-bleed 11"x17"/279.40 x 431.80 mm images in both portrait and landscape orientations and wit h enough addi tional imageable area to accommodate crop marks outside the 11"x17" area.

Printer Features

Multiple Resolutions

The printer supports three print resolutions: 300x300, 600x600, and 1200x600 dpi (dots per inch).

» Note:

Printing at 600x600 and 1200x600 dpi resolution on certain media sizes requires additional mem or y. S ee the “High -Reso lution Printing” section in chapter 3, “Advanced Printing Fe atu res,” of the Operation manual for details.

User Benefit—Three different resolutions allow you to customize the quality of your output according to its use: 300x300 dpi for most hardcopy needs, 600x600 dpi for good camera-ready output, and

Introduction

1-7

Page 16

Printer Features

1200x600 dpi for better camera-ready output and enhanced gray scales (depending on your application).

Toner Savings

The Conserve Toner option allows you to increase the life of the printer ’s toner cartridge. Using the printer ’ s control panel or Remote Console, you can turn Conserve Toner on or off for all print jobs. However, with PS Executive Series Utilities, you can set Conserve Toner on a per-job basis.

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

Three Standard Interfaces

LocalTalk, Centronics/IE EE 1284 parallel, and serial inte rfaces are standard on your printer. An optional CrownNet (E thern et or Toke nRing) interface allows you to connect to EtherTalk (Ethernet only), LAN Manager/LAN Se rver, NetWare, and TCP/IP networks.

User Benefit—You can connect a computer directly to the printer’s LocalTalk, parallel, and serial ports or use the optional CrownNet interface to connect to a wide variety of microcomputers, workstations, minicomput ers, and ma inf rame co m put er s on several different networks using either Ethernet or Token-Ring cabling).

Four Resident Emulations

Your printer supports print ing 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 emulates a Hewlett-Packard LaserJet IIISi and an HP PaintJet XL300 Color Printer (the output is gray-scaled on your QMS 1660). PCL 5 files print at both 300x300 dpi (bitmap and

Page 18

Printer Features

» Note:

Resident Fonts and Symbol Sets

Your printer comes with 12 PostScript typeface families containing 39 licensed fonts, and it provides TrueType font support (in PostSc ript emulation only). All resident PostS cript typeface families have mu lti lingual character sets. The printer also has 7 resident bitmap HP PCL fonts in 25 symbol sets each, 12 resident scalable HP PCL fonts in 35 symbol sets each, 1 resident scalable HP PCL 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, networking capability, and higher printer performance while maintaining outstanding print quality.

Compile-Ahead Technology and True Multitasking

Compile-ahead technology ke eps all of the QMS 1660’s printing resources busy to improve throughput. While the engine is printing a page, compile-ahead technology uses available printer memory to prepare the subsequent pages of the document (or the next job). With pages ready in mem ory, the engine continues printi ng as soon as it deposits printe d pages in the output tray. In other words, compili ng, rasterizing, and printing all work independently but simultaneou sly.

User Benefit—Because print job processing time is significantly reduced, the host is free sooner and you spend less time waiting for your documents to print.

QMS 166 0 Print System Getting Started1-10

Page 19

Printer Features

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 1660 Print System is unique because SIO allows all of its interface ports—LocalTalk, Centronics IEEE 488/1284 parallel, serial, and up to two optional network int erfaces— to be active at the same time.

User Benefit—You can have m ore than one computer print ing to the printer. E ach interface has an input buffer (which may be expanded with additional memory) that receives data while anot her interface is being used to print.

Emulation Sensing Processor (ESP) Technology

Most printers can recognize only their native comma nd languag e. However, using a form of artif icial intel ligence , ESP techno logy analyzes incoming file data from any of the printer ’s interfaces, selects the appropriate emulation from those insta lled on the printe r, 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, and Lineprinter documen ts with out changing printer switch settings or sending soft ware comm and s to accommodate different printer languages.

Context Switching

After its initial use, the state of an emulat ion and downl oaded dat a (such as fonts, macros, and overlays) 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 t o be processed

Introduction

1-11

Page 20

Printer Features

rapidly by the printer, and many more can be stored in memory 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.

Automatic Jam Recovery

Crown technology also provides automatic jam recovery. With most printers, when a media jam occurs, you must remove the jammed media and then reprint the job. If jam recovery is enabled on a Crown printer, once you remove the jammed media, the printer reprints the jammed page and then cont inue s with the print job. This is possible because compressed data formats allow more pag e s to be stored in memory. The print er re members the last page printed, pulls the nec essary 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 1660 Print System is compliant wit h US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Energy Star regulations. After a specified period 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.

QMS 166 0 Print System Getting Started1-12

Printer Features

Software Loadable System

Your printer has a software load able system , which allows you to replace or upgrade its system software from a Macintosh or a PC, or over an Ethernet or T oken-Ring network. Future enhancements to the system software can be easily installed as they become availab le from QMS.

Remote Console

An optional CrownNet network interface card (NIC) and its accompanying software allow your printer to establish a remot e console connection via EtherTalk, LAN Manager/LAN Server, Novell NetWare, and TCP/IP. Printer status that requires user intervention is displayed on the remote console. Fo r example, a status messa ge may indi cate that paper is low, t he out put bin is full, or a media jam has occurred.

explains how to use a remote console

QMS Crown

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 workstation every time the printer needs attention. Moreover, you’ll know right away if the printer is tied up with a media jam or other simple problem requiring user inte rventio n.

PCMCIA Card S lots

The two PCMCIA (Pe rsonal Com put er Mem ory Card Internatio nal Association) card slots on the right side of the printer under the output tray support PCMCIA Release 1.0 Type I and Type II cards. The right slot also supports Release 2.0 Type I and Type I I cards.

User Benefit—Both slots support font and security cards (see the following section, “Printer Options,” for details).

Introduction

Printer Features

Printer Options

The following options are available for your QMS 1660 Prin t System. Contact your QMS vendor for purchase information.

Upgradable RAM (Random Acce ss Memory)

The QMS 1660 Print Sy stem comes in two conf igurat ions :

12 MB of RA M

24 MB of RA M

However , you can upgrade this RAM to 64 MB through the installation of SIMMs (single in-line memory modules). Additi onal RA M allows you to print at higher resolutions on certain media sizes, download and cache fonts, and attach and use multiple hard disks. Ad ditional RAM also increases the printer's buffer (the area where data sent from the host computer is stored), all owing you to send large dataintensive files to the printer without tying up the host for long periods.

» Note:

SIMM specifications are included in Q-FAX document 6502, “QMS-tested SIMMs and Hard Disks.” This document contains a description of each approved SIMM, its manufacturers and part numbers, and the QMS products on which it’s used. See appendix A, “QMS Customer Support,” of this manual to find out how to access QFAX docum ents.

User Benefit—Your print e r’s memory can be upgraded as your needs grow.

250-Sheet and 500-Sheet Paper Cassettes

This option increases the printer's paper feed capacity. While your printer comes standard with two 250-sheet paper cassettes (letter/A4 and 11" x 17"/A3), you can install only one paper cassette at a time in the printer. However, an optional paper feeder allows you to install dual paper cassettes, increasing paper feed capacity to 600 sheets

QMS 166 0 Print System Getting Started1-14

Page 23

Printer Features

(including the multipurpose t ray). Attaching an opti onal cassett e supporter to the paper feeder allows you to install a 500-sheet paper cassette, increasing paper feed capacity to 850 sheets (including the multipurpose tray).

User Benefit— You can customize the print er’s media input sour ces to your printing needs.

Fonts

Optional fonts are available in three different formats:

The HP ProCollection fon ts and special PostS cript fonts are either contained on font cards or must be download ed to an optional printer hard disk. Font cards can be inserted in either of the two card slots.

An Intellifont SIMM increases the number of fonts available to the HP PCL 5 emulation from 20 to the 37 PCL 5 fonts available on an HP LaserJet 4Si.

A pre-formatted IDE hard disk provides the Ka nji fon ts R yumi n Light-KL and Gothic BBB Medium (bot h licensed to QMS by Morisawa and Company, Ltd.) as well as the fonts Mincho Medium, Mincho Heavy, Go thic Bold, and Gothic Heavy (licensed to QMS by TypeBank). These fonts can be printed at a variety of

point sizes and in diff erent styles and resolutio n s. Contact your QMS vendor for a complete list of available fonts. User Benefit—Optional fonts increase the printer’s functionality and

allow you to create more distinctive docu ments.

Emulations

Optional emulations, such a s LN03 and QUIC II, are contained on floppy disks and must be downloaded to an optional printer hard disk.

Contact your QMS vendor for a complete list of available emulat ions. User Benefit—Extra emul ations allow you to print docume nts c re-

ated in printer languages other than tho se resident on the printer.

Printer Features

Security Card

An optional security card allows you to password-protect the printer’s configuration menu. Th e card can be inserted in either PCMCI A (Personal Computer Memory Card Intern atio nal Associatio n) card slot.

User Benefit—A security card restricts access to the configuration menu to those users with valid password s, thus ensuring that defaul t settings are not changed inappropriatel y.

CrownNet Network Interfaces

Using a CrownNet network interface card (NIC), the QMS 1660 Print System can be attached to an Ethernet and/or a Token-Ring net wo rk running multiple protocols. Contact your QMS vendor for a list of available protocols.

User Benefit—CrownNet network interfaces provide f lexibil ity and fast data transfer in complex network environment s.

Hard Disk Expandability

An optional internal IDE-SCSI disk drive board supports an internal

Introduction

This chapter explains how to set up your QMS 1660 Print System for the first time.

It includes information on finding a good location for the printer, unpacking it and checking the shipment content s, inst alling a toner cartridge and paper cassette, and printing a start-up page.

Finding a Good Location

Your QMS 1660 Print System operat es in almost any comput ing en vironment. However, when selecting your printer's location, use the following guidelines.

Location Requirements

Away from cooling sources, heat ing sources, extreme tem perature changes, direct sunlight, excessive dust, and corrosive chemicals or vapors.

Away from any strong electromagnetic field (such as that created by an air conditioner) and excessive vibration.

Temperature range of 50° F (10° C) to 90° F (32.5°C).

Relative humidit y range of 20% to 80%.

Level (with less than 2° slope) and capable of supporting the printer weight, which is about 50 lbs (23 kg) for the printer only.

An appropriate distance from the host comp uter, based on your operating environment— 6 feet (1.8 m eters) or less for parallel connection or 25 feet (7.5 meters) or less for a serial connection.

Well ventilated. Leave space on each side of the printer for adequate ventilation.

Enough space to hold the four printer legs and to allow you to open the front cover, access the multipurp ose tray, and slide out

Power Requirements

Your print er requires a properly groun ded AC outlet with a power range of ±10% of the rated voltage (100, 110/120, or 220/240 V). Noise-generating equipment should not be connected to the same electrical outlet as the printer. The recommended frequency is 50 Hz ±2 Hz for 100 and 220/240 V systems and 60 Hz ±2 Hz for 110/120 V systems.

▲ Caution:

grounding plug for safety purposes. Use the proper grounding-t ype power outlet.

Energy Star Compliance

The printer is compliant with US Environment al Protect ion A gency (EPA) Energy Star regulations. After a specified period of inactivit y, 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.

The supplied power cord is equipped with a 3-wire

Installing Consumables

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

Installing the To ner Cartridge

Characters and images are created in your laser printer 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 from the printer are applied to transfer the im age to the page. The toner cartridge contains the toner and the photosensit ive drum needed to operate the laser printer. You may purchase additional toner cartridges from you r QMS ven d or.

» Note:

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. Keep the toner cartridge away from your comput er. The magnets in the cartridge can damage data, particularly on your floppy disks.

6 Close the front cover, and then close the multipur pos e tray.

» Note:

When a toner cartridge is installed, keep the printer's front cover closed unless you need access to the inside of the printer. When the front cover is open, the protective shutters of the cartridge’s photosensitive drum open, and the drum surface is exposed to light. This may deteriorate the drum and reduce print quality.

Loading the 250-Sheet Paper Cassette

The QMS 1660 Print System comes standa rd with two 250- sheet paper cassettes (letter/A4 and ledger/A3). Load paper in either 250sheet cassette as follo ws.

» Note:

Paper must be loaded only in the appropriate casset te (for example, letter and A4 paper must be loaded only in the letter/A 4 cassette). When the cassette is inserted into the printer, it sends a paper size signal to the printer software.

Introduction

This chapter explains how to connect your printer to a PC via the parallel and serial ports and how to install the necessary PC printing software.

» Note:

If you’re connecting your printer to a network, see your network documentation for connection inf ormat ion.

Before Making the Connection

If you have a brand-new PC, before connecting the printer you should follow the manufact ur er ’s instructi ons for sett ing up the PC and installing (if it’s not already inst alled ) any operat ing s y stem sof tw are, such as DOS and Windows.

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, contact 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- or 25-pin connector (depending on your PC’s serial port) and a 9- or 25-pi n null modem assembly to connect to the serial cable. Depending on the type of null modem assembly you have, you may also need a 9-to-25-pin adapter. See your cable vendor for more specific cable assembly information. (Appendix B, “Technical Specif ications, ” of the contains cable pinout specifications.)

Reference

QMS 166 0 Print System Getting Started4-2

Page 57

Before Mak ing the Connection

Choosing a Cable

Parallel cable— If a parallel port is available on you r PC, we recommend using a parallel cable. Your printer supports both Centron ics parallel and IEEE 1284 bidirectional parallel communication. The type of parallel cable you use depends on the type of parallel communication your PC supports (check your PC’s documentation if you’re unsure).

If your PC supports IEEE 1284 bidirectional parallel communication, you need an IEEE 1284 bidirectional parallel cable (IEEE 1284 is indicated on the cable). Thi s cable must be 6.5 feet/ 2 meters or less in length.

If your PC supports only Centronics parallel (IEEE 488) communication, you may use either an IEEE 488 parallel cable (unmarked on cable) or an IEEE 1284 bidirectional parallel cable (IEEE 1284 is indicated on the cable). However, we recommend an IEEE 1284 cable. The IEEE 1284 cable mu st be 6.5 feet/2 meters or less in length while the IEEE 488 cable may be longer.

Serial cable—If the printer is more than about 6.5 feet/2 meters from the PC, we recommend using a serial cable for better communication. For best results, the serial cable should be less than 25 feet/7.6 meters long.

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 use all of your printer's special features (like collation, 600x600 dpi and 1200x600 dpi printing, and gamma correction), or if you've never printed to a PostS cript printer bef ore, 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 E xecutive Series Printer Utilities

The PS Executive Series Utilities (or PS Exec), included on the DOSformat disks we shipped with your printer, is a utilities program for controlling the printer from your PC. For example, through PS Exec you can turn off t he sta rt-up page, renam e the printer, download fonts, print font samples, and manage hard disks. M any of the procedures described in this manual involve using PS Exec. The README file on the PS Exec disk explains how t o install the program, and the on-line help explains how to use it.

Installing a PostS cript Printer Driver

If you're using Wind ows , we recomm end that you inst all th e QMS-developed Windows driver. See “Installing the QMS Windows Driver,” belo w.

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 ostS cript drivers for some applications are availabl e through the QM S Corporate Bullet in Board System and through CompuS erve; see appendi x A, “QMS Customer Support,” for informati on.

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
