The QMS LN03 Plus Emulation offers all of the features of an LN03 Plus laser printer, including DECTEK emulation and Digital’s Tektronix 4014 emulation.
If you already have files containing LN03 Plus escape sequences, or if you have set your application to print to an LN03 Plus printer, you only need to follow the installation instructions in this chapter to begin using the emulation in your QMS printer.
+RVW 6RIWZDUH &RPSDWLELOLW\
Since LN03 Plus runs under VMS, VMS compatibility is important. The QMS VMS DECnet host software 2.x is compatible with version 3.x QMS daughterboard software.
3ULQWHU &RPSDWLELOLW\
This LN03 emulation can be installed only on QMS printers that contain a hard disk drive (either internal or external).

All supported LN03 Plus escape sequences are documented fully (not just listed) in this manual. Throughout the manual, the following conventions are used when describing the escape sequences.
<ESC> |
All control characters (characters with hex values less |
|
than Hex 20). |
|
|
Pn, Pn1, Pn2 |
Numeric variables in an escape sequence are |
|
expressed with Pn’s. Left and right margin values are |
|
examples of numeric variables. Numeric variables |
|
have a range of 0 to 9999. If a variable outside this |
|
range is used, the printer ignores the entire escape |
|
sequence. |
|
|
Ps, Ps1, Ps2 |
Selection variables in an escape sequence are |
|
expressed with Ps’s. Justification on or off is an |
|
example of a selection variable. |

These procedures are used to install the QMS LN03 Plus Emulation to QMS printers. Since this emulation is stored on a hard disk, your printer must have either an internal or external hard disk.
7KH /1 3OXV (PXODWLRQ 'LVNHWWH
The LN03 Plus Emulation Diskette contains the following files:
„PKUNZIP.EXE
„LN03.ZIP (contains LN03.PS)
„LN03-DEL.PS
LN03.PS contains the LN03 Plus Emulation. To install the emulation, this file is sent to the printer using the installation procedures presented later in this chapter.
LN03-DEL.PS is the deinstallation file. To deinstall the emulation, this file is sent to the printer using the deinstallation procedures presented later in this chapter.
To obtain LN03.PS, PKUNZIP.EXE is used to unzip LN03.ZIP. When unzipped, LN03.PS consumes almost 1.8 MB. LN03.PS was zipped to fit on one diskette.
8Q]LSSLQJ WKH /1 3OXV (PXODWLRQ )LOH
Before you install the LN03 Plus Emulation to your printer, you must first obtain LN03.PS from LN03.ZIP. Do this as follows:
1Insert the LN03 Plus Emulation diskette into your PC’s 3.5" disk drive.
2Either in Windows or DOS, create a temporary subdirectory on your PC’s hard disk and copy PKUNZIP.EXE and LN03.ZIP into the subdirectory.
3In DOS, change to the temporary subdirectory.

,QVWDOOLQJ WKH 406 /1 3OXV (PXODWLRQ
4At the DOS prompt, enter the following command to unzip LN03.ZIP.
pkunzip ln03.zip
5Confirm that LN03.PS is now in the temporary subdirectory.
6Remove the LN03 Plus Emulation diskette from your PC’s disk drive, and store it in a safe place.
,QVWDOODWLRQ YLD D 3DUDOOHO RU 6HULDO 3RUW
This procedure is used to install the LN03 Plus Emulation to printers via a parallel or serial port. If you want to install this emulation over a network, refer to “Installation via an Ethernet Network Connection” on page 1-8.
»Note: This procedure assumes that LN03.PS has been unzipped from LN03.ZIP and resides in a temporary directory on your PC’s hard disk. For the unzipping procedure, refer to “Unzipping the LN03 Plus Emulation File” on page 1-6.
1If your printer has an Administration/Emulations/PostScript/ Emulation Level menu, set it to Level 2.
2Download the LN03 Plus Emulation to the printer.
aWith your computer at the DOS prompt and at the temporary subdirectory, enter one of the following commands as appropriate:
„ For a parallel connection:
copy /b ln03.ps lpt#
where # is the port number (1 to 3).
„For a serial connection:
copy /b ln03.ps com#
where # is the port number (1 to 4).
3 When the download is complete, restart the printer.

This procedure is used to install the QMS LN03 Plus Emulation to printers over an Ethernet network. If you want to install the emulation via a parallel or serial port, refer to “Installation via a Parallel or Serial Port” on page 1-7.
»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.
»Note: This procedure assumes that LN03.PS has been unzipped from LN03.ZIP and resides in a temporary directory on your PC’s hard disk. For the unzipping procedure, refer to “Unzipping the LN03 Plus Emulation File” on page 1-6.

2Make sure your printer is on line, and that the printer’s message window reads IDLE.
3If you’re downloading the emulation from a UNIX workstation, copy LN03.PS from your PC to a temporary directory on your workstation.
4Open 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 )
5When prompted for a user name and password, press the Enter key.
If your entries are correct, an ftp> prompt displays.
6At the ftp> prompt, change to binary mode by typing bin
7At the ftp> prompt, send the emulation file to the printer’s hard disk by typing
put ln03.ps
The printer’s message window reads 1 Active Job, and the Disk light flashes to indicate that the emulation is being downloaded to the hard disk. The ftp> prompt returns when the emulation has finished loading.
8When the download is complete, at the ftp> prompt, end the ftp session by typing
quit
9When the Disk light stops flashing and the printer’s message window reads Idle for at least 30 seconds, restart the printer.
10When the printer’s message window reads Idle again, the LN03 Plus Emulation is ready to use.
The LN03 Plus Emulation is now listed in the Options section of the printer’s start-up page, in the Administration/Emulation sec-

Deinstalling the QMS LN03 Plus Emulation is similar to installing it. As the installation file was downloaded to the printer, the deinstallation file must also be downloaded to the printer. However, because the deinstallation file is not supplied zipped as is the installation file, the deinstallation file can be downloaded from the diskette drive on your PC rather than from the hard drive.

You can change your LN03 Plus Emulation configuration by selecting new configuration option settings through your printer’s control panel, through QMS Document Option Commands (DOC), or through the PostScript configcartemulation operator. Refer to “Configuration Options” on page 2-3 for descriptions of the configuration options.
„Control panel selections
This is the most convenient way to change configuration settings. Refer to the printer user's guide and/or setup manual for instructions on using the control panel to change configuration settings. Configuration changes made through the control panel are in effect from job-to-job unless overridden with the PostScript configcartemulation operator or with QMS Document Option Commands.
„QMS Document Option Commands (DOC)
LN03 Plus configuration options can be selected through QMS Document Option Commands. Configuration changes made with DOC are in effect only for that job. After the print job is completed, the printer automatically resets to the default configuration. Refer to the QMS Document Option Commands manual for information about using DOC and complete descriptions of the commands and their parameters.
„PostScript configcartemulation operator
Refer to “Using configcartemulation” on page 2-6 for information on using this PostScript operator to change emulation configuration settings. Configuration changes made through the PostScript configcartemulation operator are the same as making configuration changes through the printer’s control panel and are in effect from job-to-job unless overridden with QMS Document Option Commands.

On QMS printers that support the configcartemulation operator, the LN03 Plus Emulation default values can be changed by this operator. You can include this operator in an ASCII file and send the file to the printer over any interface.
The configcartemulation operator takes three integers as shown in the following figure.
0 Product ID
1 AutoWrap
2 Paper Size
3 Paper Size Override
4 X Origin Inset
5 Y Origin Inset
6 Reset Override
emul# item value configcartemulation
The setting for the selected item.
12 (The identifier assigned to LN03 Plus emulation. Use this identifier with other emulation-dependent PostScript operators such as setdefaultemulation.)
The emulation identifier (emul#) for the LN03 Plus Emulation is 12. (Other printer emulations for QMS printers have different identifiers.) The configuration selection (item) is the setting you want to configure. You can configure only one setting with a single configcartemulation operator. The selection setting (value) is the setting for the item. Depending on the selection, there may be two or more possible values. For example, Product ID has three possible values.

The configcartemulation operator must be included in an ASCII text file that accesses the PostScript language statusdict in the printer. The following example shows an ASCII file that uses the configcartemulation operator and the PostScript operators for accessing the statusdict:
%!
serverdict begin 0 exitserver statusdict begin
12 0 0 configcartemulation
12 1 0 configcartemulation end
^D
The last line of the file is ^D (Ctrl-D), a special command that signals the end of the file for the printer. The following tables contain the possible values for changing Product ID, Autowrap, Paper Size, Paper Size Override, X Origin Inset, Y Origin Inset, Reset Override, and Orientation. Pick the settings you want, and use the corresponding lines in your ASCII text file.
