“Installation Menu” on page 2-99

This chapter begins by listing and describing the different ways you can configure your printer to meet your special printing needs.

The next section describes how to use the printer control panel to access the configuration menu and how to make configuration changes.

The rest of the chapter provides basic printer configuration information about some of the configuration menu options. The QMS CrownNet Interface System Setup Guide (on the QMS Software Utilities CD-ROM) contains the CrownNet submenu configuration information for the Ethernet interface. In both guides, menu features are grouped according to task. Each feature is introduced, then a table describes the feature’s location in the configuration menu, the available choices for that feature, and the factory default (the value set at the factory).

You have six ways to configure your printer to meet your printing needs:

Through the printer driver (accessible through the application)

Through the printer control panel

Through the CrownAdmin network utility

Through the CrownView printer webpage

Through Document Option Commands

Through Remote Console in a telnet session

Using your application is the best way to control your printer since most printing is done on a per-job basis. This helps prevent confusion in network environments and saves you from making changes at the printer control panel.

Applications use printer drivers to send appropriate commands to the printer for requested tasks. If your application doesn’t have a QMS 3260/4032 Print System driver, you can install the driver from the QMS Software Utilities CD-ROM or download

"

% #

the latest driver from our website. You may be able to use other drivers to control the printer but comparable drivers may not allow you to access all of your printer's features, such as 1200 dpi printing, duplexing, or collating.

Your printer is configured at the factory for most typical printing environments, so most users don’t have to use the control panel often. However, if you do need to change a printer setting for all print jobs (not just on a per-job basis), you can do so through the control panel. If you’re working in a shared printing environment, your system administrator should be the only person to make changes through the printer’s control panel.

»Note: The menu navigation button functions appear on the display panel only when the printer is off line.

Many of the configuration choices that can be made at the control panel can also be made through CrownAdmin network utilities. CrownAdmin accesses the printer through your network to give you the ability to make configuration changes. The graphical user interface contains buttons that give you direct access to printer features. You can access the printer web page (CrownView) through CrownAdmin or run a Remote Console session. To avoid confusion in a shared printing environment, only the system administrator should make configuration changes. See the QMS CrownAdmin on-line help for information on using Remote Console.

»Note: If a remote console has the printer off line, pressing the Online button will not take effect until the console puts the printer back on line.

QMS CrownView is a printer-based application using the World Wide Web portion of the Internet as a framework for the QMS 3260/4032 Print System. This feature gives you access to printer configuration options normally available through the control panel or CrownAdmin. You can use CrownView to monitor printer consumables, configure the printer to send you email, and access printer status information.

% #

% #

!" #$

QMS Document Option Commands (DOCs) can enable job-specific features your application or page description language can’t access. See your QMS Crown Document Option Commands manual (in Acrobat PDF format on the QMS Software Utilities CD-ROM) for information on DOC. See appendix C, “Document Option Commands,” of this manual for a list of the supported DOCs.

% "

All the configuration settings available from the control panel are available through your printer’s Remote Console. You can access Remote Console directly through a telnet session with your printer. See the QMS CrownNet Interface System Setup Guide (on the QMS Software Utilities CD-ROM) for information.

The printer’s configuration menu allows you to change the default printer configuration settings. Any changes made to the configuration will reside as new default settings and affect all subsequent print jobs.

The options in the configuration menu are organized under three main menus:

Operator Control Menu

Use this menu to select document processing options such as copy count, choosing input and output paper bins, chaining input bins, and duplexing (if a duplexing unit is installed). Document processing options are usually specified within individual jobs since each job has its own requirements. However, if there’s no way of specifying these options within an application, use the control panel to change options, send the job, and then change the defaults back.

»Note: Defining document processing options for a particular job through the control panel is not recommended in a shared environment. When many systems are using the same printer, there’s no way of making sure that no other jobs are sent to the printer while the defaults are changed. The Operator Control menu may be password-protected with an optional security key if the system administrator does not want users changing defaults.

% #

Administration Menu

Use this menu to maintain printer-host communication information, and for selecting and configuring printer emulations, configuring special pages, printing engine calibration, and configuring hard disks (if installed).

»Note: For information on printer-host communication using the Ethernet interface or any of the Administration/Communications/CrownNet options, see chapter 2, “Printer Configuration,” in the QMS CrownNet System Administrator’s Guide on the QMS Software Utilities CD-ROM. The Administration menu may be password protected with an optional security key if the system administrator does not want users changing defaults.

Installation Menu

Use this menu to establish passwords for the Operator Control and Administration menus. This menu displays only when an optional security key is installed.

# ! #

To access the configuration menu, make sure the printer is idle (IDLE displays in the message window), then press the Online button to take the printer off line, and finally press the Menu button.

IDLE

The following table shows how to use control panel buttons to access the printer configuration menu. Press the control panel buttons in the order shown. The printer

Sometimes, rather than selecting an option, you need to enter character information. A character is any letter, digit, or symbol. A field is a group of characters that have meaning. Use the printer control panel to enter character information in the message window during printer configuration. The maximum length of the message window is 16 characters.

Entering character information through the control panel is similar to setting the time and date on a digital watch. You enter one character at a time. The current input character flashes. Use the following buttons to change the current input character:

Press this	to...
button
Next	Advance to the next choice for the current input character.
Previous	Return to the previous choice for the current input character.

Once you have changed the current input character, use the following buttons to move the cursor to another input character:

Press this	to...
button
Select	Advance the cursor to the next character.
Menu	Return the cursor to the previous character.

% #

To exit from the character selection process, move the cursor to the last character of the input field (the character farthest to the right) and press the Select button, or move to the first character of the input field (the character farthest to the left) and press the Menu button.

When you exit, the printer verifies character information and confirms it in the message window. If character information is valid, you’re returned to the previous menu; if it’s invalid, you’re returned to the input field. Press the Menu button to cancel any changes to the character information.

If the current character information is longer than the value that you need to enter, replace each extra character with a space. The printer interprets a space at the end of character information as a blank.

To change the number of copies, press the control panel buttons in the order shown in the following table. The printer responds by displaying a status message or configuration menu in the message window. An underline indicates the current input character in the message window.
