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 fo r 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.

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.
Some large CGM files may require more memory. If y ou need to upgrade your
printer’s memory, refer to the SIMM installation instructions in your printer
documentation.
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.
1 Make 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.
2 At the DOS prompt, send the emulation file to the printer’s hard disk:
„ For a parallel connection, type
copy /b cgm_
where
#
is 1 to 3. (/b refers to binary files.)
XXX
.ps lpt#↵
„ For a serial connection, type
copy /b cgm_
where
#
is 1 to 4. (/b refers to binary files.)
XXX
.ps com#↵
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.
3 When 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.
