CGM, Computer Graphics Metafile, is a standard two-dimensional graphics format designed for the storage and interchange of device-independent graphics. It can represent vector graphics, raster graphics, and text.
The MINOLTA-QMS CGM loadable emulation uses software components certified by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology). Although these components were certified in previous industry-software products, MINOLTA-QMS has also applied for NIST certification for laser printers.
This document lists the contents of your shipment and then explains how to install and use the CGM emulation. For information on CGM itself, visit the National Institute of Standards and Technology at www.itl.nist.gov.

In addition to this manual, your shipment consists of the following items:
„CGM emulation on CD-ROM
„OCR-B fonts on CD-ROM
»Note: This CD-ROM is only included in certain shipments, because these fonts are resident on some print systems (such as the 2060, 2425, 3260, 4032, 4060, magicolor 2, magicolor 2+, magicolor 330, and the magicolor 6100). Check your printer documentation for a list of resident fonts.

To use the CGM emulation you must have a print system with:
„ImageServer option (recommended)
„256 MB internal hard disk
„Required level of system software
„24 MB RAM
»Note: Some large CGM files may require more memory. If you need to upgrade your printer’s memory, refer to the SIMM installation instructions in your printer documentation.
The CGM emulation is not supported on MINOLTA-QMS Kanji print systems.

Your print system must have the required level of system software to use the CGM emulation. Compare your printer’s system software level with the following chart. The chart shows the minimum print system software level. If you need to upgrade your printer’s system software, refer to our website at http://www.minolta-qms.com.
To check your print system software level, print a status page and compare the system software level listed with that in the chart below.

This procedure describes how to download the CGM emulation to the printer via the parallel or serial port. If you want to download the emulation over a network, refer to “Via an Ethernet Network Connection” on the following page.
1Make sure the your PC is connected to the printer’s parallel or serial port, that the printer is online, and that the printer’s message window reads IDLE.
2At the DOS prompt, send the emulation file to the printer’s hard disk:
„For a parallel connection, type copy /b cgm_XXX.ps lpt#
where # is 1 to 3. (/b refers to binary files.)
„For a serial connection, type copy /b cgm_XXX.ps com#
where # is 1 to 4. (/b refers to binary files.)
The printer’s message window will read 1 Active Job, and the Disk light will flash to indicate that the emulation is being downloaded to the hard disk.
3When the Disk light stops flashing and the printer’s message window reads Idle, restart the printer.
Restarting the printer is required to complete the installation. The CGM emulation should be listed in the Options section of the printer start-up page, in the Administration/Emulation printer configuration menu, and on the advanced status page.
»Note: You may want to erase the files in the new CGM directory on your PC/ Workstation’s hard disk, and then remove the directory.

4Increase the printer’s K Mem Emulation client (Administration/Memory/K Mem Emulation) by at least 1 MB or, for optimum performance, by 2 MB.
See your printer documentation for more information on this memory client and on using your printer’s configuration menu.

This procedure describes how to download the CGM emulation to the printer via an Ethernet network connection. If you want to download the emulation via the parallel or serial port, refer to downloading “Via a Parallel or Serial Port” on the previous page.
»Note: Before you begin this procedure, your printer and your PC (or UNIX workstation) must be connected to an Ethernet network running TCP/IP and have valid IP addresses.
1If you’re going to download the emulation from a UNIX workstation, copy the CGM_XXX.PS file from your PC to your workstation.
2Make sure your PC (or workstation) and printer are connected to an Ethernet network running TCP/IP, that the printer is online, and that the printer’s message window reads IDLE.
3Open an ftp session from your PC or workstation by typing one of the following commands:
ftp printername (for example, ftp pctdev6 )
ftp ipaddress (for example, ftp 161.33.130.45 )
4When prompted for a user name and password, press the Enter key.
5At the ftp> prompt, change to binary mode by typing
bin
6 At the ftp> prompt, send the emulation file to the printer’s hard disk by typing
put cgm_XXX.ps
The printer’s message window will read 1 Active Job, and the Disk light will flash to indicate that the emulation is being downloaded to the hard disk.
7 At the ftp> prompt, end the ftp session by typing
quit
The ftp> prompt returns when the emulation has finished loading.

This procedure describes how to download the OCR-B fonts to the printer via the parallel or serial port. If you want to download the fonts over a network, refer to downloading “Via an Ethernet Network Connection” on page 4.
1Make sure the your PC is connected to the printer’s parallel or serial port, that the printer is online, and that the printer’s message window reads IDLE.
2Insert the OCR-B fonts CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive.
3If you’re working in Windows, go to DOS.
4Change to the disk drive in which you inserted the OCR-B fonts CD-ROM (for example, type d: at the DOS prompt).
5Turn on the printer, if necessary, and wait for Idle to display in the message window.
