Introduction

Introduction
This chapter discusses memory and storage options available for use with your QMS 4060 Printer.

Single In-Line Memory Modules

Single in-line memory modules (or SIMMs) are compact circuit boards with surface-mount memory chips. The QMS 4060 Print Sys­tem base model is standard with two 16 MB SIMMs. However, it is possible to add up to a total of 128 MB of RAM. The memory system on the printer uses interleaved memory mapping. Because of this, new SIMMs must be installed in matching pairs.
Additional printer memory allows you to download more fonts and increase the printer's buffer (area where data sent from the computer is stored while it’s waiting to be printed).
QMS requires that only QMS-certified service technicians install memory upgrades to your QMS 4060 Print System. See appendix A, “QMS Customer Support,” for information on how to contact QMS National Field Service.

Hard Disk Storage Options

Hard disks provide true virtual memory as well as storage for charac­ter bitmaps, downloaded outline fonts, and other files.
QMS 4060 Print System Options1-2
Hard Disk Storage Options

About Internal Hard Disks

Your QMS 4060 Print System includes an internal IDE hard disk. This disk is used for storing system software, downloaded fonts, softload­able emulations, and spooling from the host computer.

External SCSI Hard Disks

For information on installing your external hard disk, see the docu­mentation that comes with your hard disk.
» Note:
See FAQ 7181 for a list of approved hard disks, their manufacturers and part numbers, and the QMS products on which they can be used. You can access QMS F AQs through the Internet at http://www.qms.com/support/supportbase/ or through Q-FAX. (See appendix A, “QMS Customer Support,” to find out how to access Q-FAX documents).
FAQ numbers are subject to change, so yo may want to obtain a directory of Q-FAX documents before requesting a specific document.

Identifying Hard Disks

The hard disks are identified by their device numbers. The internal hard disk attached has a device number of DSK7. If optional external hard disks are attached to the printer, their de vice n umbers can r ange from DSK0 to DSK6. (DSK5 which translates to SCSI ID 5 is reserved for the scanner). Device numbers of external disks can be set on the back of the hard disk by the installer.

Hard Disk Storage Options
Caution:
If you connect to this printer an external hard disk you previously used with an earlier QMS Crown printer (1660E, QMS 1725E, QMS 2025, or QMS 3225), this QMS 4060 Print System software release will automatically reorganize the files on the hard disk when the printer is turned back on again. (The printer release number is listed on both the start-up and the status page.) Once this reorganization is done, the files on the hard disk can no longer be accessed if the hard disk is reattached to an earlier QMS Crown printer.
This reorganization process takes time. If, when you first turn the printer on after attaching a previously used hard disk, it does not come on line immediately, be patient. Interrupting the reorganization process could cause all files on the hard disk to be lost.

Turning on an External Hard Disk

For the printer to recognize one or more external hard disks, each hard disk must be turned on before you turn on the printer. If t he printer recognizes the disk(s) and the start-up page is enabled, check to ensure that DISK ONLINE prints on that page. If the start-up page is not enabled, print a status page and check to see if DISK ONLINE prints on that page. (See chapter 4, “Printer Configuration,” of the
Reference
manual, for information on how to print a status page.)
If DISK ONLINE does not print, see the the “Internal Hard Disk Problems” section, for more information.
Properly installed disks will also appear in the “Options” section, of the start-up page (if it’s enabled) and on the status page as

Hard Disk Storage Options

Configuring Hard Disks

To configure the hard disk(s) you may need to either Enable Disk Swap or increase the Disk Cache size, dependent on your printer’s memory.
After the Administration/Memory/Enable Disk Swap or Administration/ Memory/Disk Cache menu settings are reconfigured and the printer is restarted, you need to print a status page to check that the Disk Cache size is increased. (Notice that VM remaining memory is also increased.)

Using the Disk Operations Menu

The Administration/Disk Operations menu contains all of the options you need to format a hard disk.

Optional Network Interface

Optional Network Interface
In addition to the two standard interfaces (CrownNet for Ethernet and Centronics/IEEE 1284 parallel) your printer supports optional inter­faces such as DECnet-TCP/IP, IBM 3270/5250A, and Token-Ring. Additional interface options allow greater flexibility when working in a complex network environment.
» Note:
The LocalTalk network or single Macintosh interface information is contained in the “Using the Optional LocalTalk Interface” section, and the serial interface information is contained in the “Optional Serial Interface” on page 3-16, later in this chapter.
An optional network interface may be installed in the optional inter­face opening on the back of the printer. This opening is to the left of the other interface ports and it is covered with a rectangular metal plate.
The printer’s simultaneous interface operation (SIO) allows the optional interfaces to be active at the same time as the other ports. In other words, your printer can communicate through up to five ports with five host computers or computer networks. One host can inter­face through the parallel port, one through the optional serial port, one through the Ethernet port, and one through the optional interface port. See your QMS vendor for a list of available opti ona l networ k interfaces available.

Optional Network Interface Assembly Kit

The optional network interface assembly kit includes the following:
n A network interface card (NIC) n Network interface documentation
The kit may also include additional parts not required for network interface installation on this printer.
