QMS Crown Technology
QMS Crown is a proprietary multit as king printer opera ting system,
which allows QMS to adapt advanced printer software to the evolving
printing needs of users in many different environme nts.
Crown’s multitasking capability allows your printer to process and print
jobs simultaneously instead of sequentially, by using advanced memory management techniques, such as simultaneous interfacing, emulation sensing processing, input buffers, job spooling, compile-ahead
processing, compressed data formats, error recovery, user-configurable memory clients, context switching, and spooling spillover.
Printer Features
■ Simultaneous Interface Operation (SIO)—Although many other
printers have multiple interface ports and automatically designate
a “hot port,” only one port actively receives data at a time. Your
printer is unique because SIO allows all of its interface ports—
LocalTalk, parallel, serial, and an optional network interface—to
be active at the same time. You can have more than one host
computer printing to the printer. Each interface has an input buffer
that receives data while another interf ace is being used to print.
■ Emulation Se nsing Processo r (ESP) Technology—Most print -
ers can recognize only their native command language. Your
QMS printer, however, has ESP (Emulation Sensing Processor)
technology. Using a form of artificial intelligence, ESP technology
analyzes incoming file data from any of the printer ’s interfaces.
ESP technology, which works with most popular commercially
Introduction
1-7
Printer Feat ur es
available applications, selects th e appropriat e emu lation from
those installed on the printer and processes the print job, freeing
you from the need to change printer switch settings or send software commands to accommodate different printer languages.
■ Input Buffers—T he print er has expandable inp ut buffers, which
enable it to receive large amounts of print data over any or all of
its interfaces. This not only increases the printer’s performance,
but it also relieves the central processing unit (CPU) of time-consuming print data transmission tasks.
■ Compile-Ahead Processing—Pioneered by QMS, compile-
ahead technology allows the compiling, rasterizing, and printing to
work independently but simultaneously. This significantly reduces
processing time by increasing printer controller throughput.
■ Compresse d Data Format s—Crown printers convert dat a
received by the input buffers into intermedi ate, co mpressed
blocks until the data is needed for printing. These compressed
blocks of data are designed to be processed rapidly by the
printer, and many more can be stored in memory at one time than
can traditional bitmapped images.
■ Automatic Jam Reco very— Crown technology also provides
automatic jam reco ver y. With most printers, if a media jam
occurs, you must remove the jammed media and then reprint the
job. On a Crown printer, if a media jam occurs, once you clear the
jam, the printer reprints the jammed page and cont inues wit h the
print job. This is possible because compressed data formats
allow more pages to be stored in memory . The printer remembers
the last page printed, pulls the necessary interm ediate blo cks
from memory, and automatically reprints any lost pages.
■ User-Configurable Memory Clients— Printer mem ory is
divided among memory “clients.” You can configure the size of
most memory clients to meet your specific printing, computing,
and network needs best.
■ Context Switching—This feature allows Crown printers to pre-
serve the “state” of a language or emulation — including down loaded fonts, forms, logos, macros, overlay s, and other data —
when you switch from one printer languag e or emulation t o
QMS 3825/3225/2025 User's Guide1-8
Printer Features
another. Other printers require repeated downl oading of these
capabilities each time they are needed, consumi ng valuable
input, processing, and printing time.
■ Spooling Overflow—S poo led print jobs can transparently spill
over to the hard disk, so buffers are not limited to RAM capaci ty.
PostScript Level 1 and L evel 2 C om patibility
The QMS 3825/3225/2025 Print System provides PostSc ript Level 1
and Level 2 page description capabilities via QMS-developed emu lations that are compatible with Adobe’s PostScript Level 1 and Level 2
languages while providing additional capabilit ies. PostS cript controls
the appearance of text, geometric shapes, and images at the printer.
It can rotate, scale, clip, and orient graphic objects on all or part of a
page. The printer produces solid blacks and crisp fonts regardless of
the point size.
The PostScript Level 2 emulatio n supports the capabi lities of the second generation of Adobe’s PostScript software. Level 2 consolidat es
extensions to the PostScript language and provides new features and
functionality that expa nd the language’s capabilities and improve
overall performance. PostS cript Level 2 features include device-inde pendent color, improved memory and resource management, built-in
data compression/decompression filters to speed up transmission
times and save disk space, optimized graphics and text operators,
and patterns and forms support, includi ng patt ern and form cach ing.
Resident Emulations
Although your printer ’s primary emula tion is PostScript , it also supports HP PCL 5, HP-GL, CCITT, imPRESS, LN03 Plus, and Lineprinter. The optional QUIC II emulat ion can also be supporte d.

Multiple Print Modes - 3825 Only
The 3825 Print System offers a choice of print modes — dark, normal
and light — which gives you an additional level of control over output
for graphics, CAD, or everyday use.
Printer-Based Job Acc oun ting
Your QM S printer provides job accounting, which can be used to
extract information such as paper utilization per user, time consumed
servicing print jobs per user, usage of different emulations, connectivity options, frequency of jams, times of peak use, features and
options most commonly used (such as duplexing or finishing options),
and number, complexity, and size of jobs per user. The accounting
feature does not prepare a list but provides the information you need
to assess printer use. The accounting is performed by the printer
rather than a host, and the extracted information can be uploaded to
any host by copying it to a floppy disk or by using the FTP get command (if your host supports this command). This information is useful
for billing, report generation , and site resource plann ing. For furt her
information see the “Accounting” section in chapter 3, “Operator Control Menu,” in your system admi nistrat or’s guide.
Resident RAM (Ran dom Acce ss Me mor y)
Your QM S Print System com es with enough RAM to handle most
printing tasks.
3825 The 3825 Print System comes with 32 MB of resident RAM,
the maximum the printer can use and enough to handle virtually any printing task promptly.
3225/2025 The 3225 and 2025 Print Systems come with 16 MB of
resident RAM, which can be upgraded to 32 MB if you need
more room for font downloading, font caching (tempora ry
storage space in RAM), spooling, or enlarging the printer ’s
buffers (the area where data sent from the comput er is temporarily stored).
