2 Print Media In This Chapter . . .
PAGE 16
Introduction Introduction This chapter lists the media sizes and imageable areas supported by the QMS 4060 Print System, and then provides information on selecting and storing media. Media Sizes and Imageable Areas Your printer supports media in a number of sizes. Each media size has a certain imageable area, the maximum area on which the printer can print.
PAGE 17
Media Sizes and Imageable Areas The following table lists the size, imageable area, and feed edge (the edge of the media drawn into the printer first) of all supported media as well as information about their input, output, and finishing options: Media Media Size Inches Millimeters Imageable Area Inches Millimeters Feed Edge Input/ Output 11x17 11.00x17.00 279.4x431.8 10.67x16.67 270.93x423.38 Short D, L, M, P, U A3 A4 A5 11.69x16.54 297.0x420.0 11.69x8.27 297.0x210.0 5.85x8.27 148x210.0 11.
PAGE 18
Media Types and Weights Page Margins Margins are set through your application. Some applications allow you to set custom page sizes and margins while others have only standard page sizes and margins from which to choose. If you choose a standard format, you may lose part of your image (due to imageable area constraints). If you can custom-size your page, use those sizes given for the imageable area for optimum results.
PAGE 19
Media Storage Weight The printer supports the following weights of paper: n Paper trays—17-36 lb (64-139 g/m2) n Large-Capacity Input Feeder—17-36 lb (64-139 g/m2) Transparencies Type See appendix B, “Technical Specifications,” for information on typical types of transparencies. Heat Tolerance The printer supports transparencies able to withstand the heat generated by the fuser (190° C/374° F), without transformation.

3 Professional Printing In This Chapter . . .
PAGE 22
Introduction Introduction This chapter defines common terms used in the description of fonts and typefaces, and displays the printer’s resident typefaces. About Typefaces and Fonts Many of the terms and phrases used in desktop publishing are derived from the language of professional printers and typesetters. This section explains common words and phrases used when discussing typefaces.
PAGE 23
About Typefaces and Fonts Typeface Classification One way of classifying the different typefaces is to group them into the following categories: Serif A serif is a decorative line or tail on the ends of the strokes of a letter. Serifs, usually on the lower half of a letter, have also been referred to as feet or curlicues. Courier, ITC Bookman, New Century Schoolbook, Palatino, and Times are serif typefaces. In the example shown, all the letters except “e” and “o” have serifs.
PAGE 24
About Typefaces and Fonts Pi or Symbol Σψµβολ Pi or symbol typefaces are collections of assorted specialpurpose characters (for example, decorative, graphic, math, or monetary characters). They are especially useful for highlighting items in lists, providing graphics, and displaying symbols that might otherwise have to be drawn in by hand. Many typefaces today include a complement of the more commonly used pi characters. Symbol and ITC Zapf Dingbats are pi typefaces.
PAGE 25
About Typefaces and Fonts Bitmapped Font A bitmapped font is a one in which each character is represented by a set of dot patterns. Each font size requires a different set of dot patterns. Scalable Font A scalable font is one in which each character’s dot pattern (bitmap) is generated from a mathematical representation (or outline) of the character. Scalable fonts eliminate the need to store many different font sizes. Point Size Point size refers to the height of a proportionally spaced typeface.
PAGE 26
About Typefaces and Fonts Stroke Weight Pa la tin o Pa lat in o Stoke weight (light/medium/bold) is the width (thickness) of the lines (strokes) that make up a character. The example at left shows the medium and bold weights of Palatino. Italic and Oblique Forms Italic was originally developed in the early sixteenth century as a typeface based on cursive handwriting. Today’s italics are still individually crafted typefaces designed to blend with a specific roman (upright) typeface.
PAGE 27
Resident Fonts, Typefaces, and Symbol Sets derive from painting; a portrait is usually a vertical view while a landscape is usually a horizontal view.

4 Printer Configuration In This Chapter . . .
PAGE 36
Introduction Introduction This chapter begins by listing and describing the different ways you can configure your printer to meet your special printing needs. The next section describes how to use the printer control panel to access the configuration menu and how to make configuration changes. The rest of the chapter provides basic printer configuration information about some of the configuration menu options.
PAGE 37
Methods of Configuration printer control panel. Your application documentation explains how to control your printer settings: probably by choosing options from a printing menu. Applications use printer drivers to send appropriate commands to the printer for requested tasks. If your application doesn’t have a QMS 4060 Print System driver, you can select a comparable PostScript driver, such as the QMS Level 2 Windows driver or a LaserWriter driver.
PAGE 38
Configuration Menu ronment. To avoid confusion in a shared printing environment, only the system administrator should make configuration changes. See the QMS CrownAdmin on-line help for information on using Remote Console. » Note: If a remote console has the printer off line, pressing the Online button will not take effect until the console puts the printer back on line.
PAGE 39
Configuration Menu Note: Defining document processing options for a particular job through the control panel is not recommended in a shared environment. When many systems are using the same printer, there’s no way of making sure that no other jobs are sent to the printer while the defaults are changed. The Operator Control menu may be password-protected with an optional security key if the system administrator does not want users changing defaults.

Example To cancel your configuration changes, press the control panel buttons in the order shown in the following table. The printer responds by displaying a status message in the message window. Press this button to... The message window reads...
PAGE 48
Configuration Menu Default English Notes The printer must be restarted for changes to the Keypad Language menu to take effect. You can either let the printer restart automatically after you save the change and exit from the Configuration menu, or you can wait for the change to take effect the next time you manually turn on the printer.
PAGE 49
Configuration Menu Restoring a Default Custom Configuration Menu Administration/Miscellaneous/Restore Defaults/Saved Defaults Purpose Reconfigures the printer by using the default custom configuration. Choices Yes, No Default No Notes To restore the saved defaults, access the menu item and select Yes. Rebooting the System Use this option to restart the system after making a group of configuration menu changes. Before making configuration changes an advanced status page should be printed.

Operator Control Menu Operator Control Menu The Operator Control menu contains the following selections: Selection 4-16 See this section...
PAGE 51
Operator Control Menu Copies While it is preferable to use your application to select the number of copies to print, you can change the default number of copies for all print jobs through the printer control panel. Menu Operator Control/Copies Choices 001-999 Default 001 Notes Sets the default number of copies for all subsequent print jobs. When power is turned off and then back on again, the number of copies is restored to the default setting of 001.
PAGE 52
Operator Control Menu Offset Stacking This option offsets each job as they are stacked in the optional LCOS. Menu Operator Control/Offset Stacking Choices Off, On Off—Jobs stack normally. On—Each job is offset in the LCOS output tray. Default Off Face-Up Order This option allows you to choose stacking your print job in normal face-down order or reverse order. Menu Operator Control/Face-Up Order Choices Normal, Reverse Normal—Order of printing is first page of the job printed first.

Operator Control Menu output tray. The following figure shows the collated and uncollated stacking for two copies of a four-page file. 1 2 3 4 1 2 Collated 3 4 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 Uncollated The main advantage of collation is convenience and the time savings derived from not having to separate and sort individual copies of a document. Each copy of the document exists as a whole unless chunk collation has occurred.
PAGE 54
Operator Control Menu Chunk Collation This mechanism of introducing a forced boundary is known as chunk collation. Chunk collation breaks a document into several smaller, more manageable sets. For example, in the following illustration, copies “a” and “b” of each set must be manually combined to create one collated document. The order of printing is copy 1(a), copy 2(a), copy 3(a), copy 4(a), copy 1(b), copy 2(b), copy 3(b), and copy 4(b).
PAGE 55
Operator Control Menu Note: Collating through your application is more time consuming than collating through the printer. The application sends the complete job the requested number of times rather than sending it once and holding data in printer memory. » Orientation While you can usually specify the orientation of a print job in your application, if you consistently use a certain paper orientation, you can set this in the Operator Control/Orientation menu.
PAGE 56
Operator Control Menu Optional Custom Paper Tray (used in place of one of the other trays) Holds approximately 500 sheets of letter/A4 to 11''x17''/A3 paper, statement, B4 (ISO), and B5 (ISO). Optional LargeCapacity Input Feeder (LCIF) Two models—one holds 3000 sheets of lettersize paper and the other holds 3000 sheets of A4-size paper. The following illustration shows the locations of these bins.
PAGE 57
Operator Control Menu Naming Paper Inputbins Options in the Administration/Engine menu allow you to give each inputbin a more descriptive name. These names are displayed in the printer message window, where appropriate. You can also use the descriptive names with Document Option Commands. (See the QMS Crown Document Option Commands manual on the QMS Software Utilities CD-ROM for complete information on Document Option Commands.) Inputbin 1 Inputbin 1 is the upper paper tray.
PAGE 58
Operator Control Menu Inputbin 5 Inputbin 5 is the optional large-capacity paper feeder. Menu Administration/Engine/Inputbin 4 Name Choices Up to 16 characters Default LCIF Paper Output Selecting a Paper Outputbin An option in the Operator Control menu allows you to select the default outputbin (tray).
PAGE 59
Operator Control Menu Menu Administration/Engine/Outputbin 2 Name Choices Up to 16 characters Default face up stack Menu Administration/Engine/Outputbin 3 Name Choices Up to 16 characters Default face down stack Chaining Paper Inputbins An option in the Operator Control menu allows you to “chain” inputbins (trays) so that when the first inputbin empties, the printer will automatically draw paper from another inputbin with either the same or any size and type of paper (dependent on the choice se
PAGE 60
Operator Control Menu Default On Notes Use the Operator Control/Inputbin menu to set the default inputbin. Make sure that the three inputbins use the same size paper. When chaining "on any" and duplexing, the printer will chain to a similar size paper (for example, letter to A4) but not to the large paper sizes—11"x17" and A3. This is because these large sizes are fed through the printer in a different printing order than the smaller sizes.
PAGE 61
Operator Control Menu Default On Notes The Operator Control/Chain Option menu must be set to On before the setting in this menu takes effect. »Note: When making this selection, you may use "LCIF," "LCIT," or "Optional" even though your printer menu only displays "Optional." Lower Inputbin Use the Operator Control/Chain Option/Lower Chaining to chain to the lower inputbin. Menu Operator Control/Chain Option/Lower Chaining Choices On—Allow media to be pulled from the lower inputbin if necessary.
PAGE 62
Operator Control Menu Default On Notes The Operator Control/Chain Option menu must be set to On before the setting in this menu takes effect. Upper Inputbin Use the Operator Control/Chain Option/Upper Chaining menu to chain to the upper inputbin. Menu Operator Control/Chain Option/Upper Chaining Choices On—Allow media to be pulled from the upper inputbin if necessary. Off—Don’t allow media to be pulled from the upper inputbin.
PAGE 63
Operator Control Menu Consumables These options help you monitor your printer’s consumables. Printing a Consumables Statistics Page Menu Operator Control/Consumables/Print Statistics Purpose Prints a consumables statistics page Choices No, Yes Default No Notes The consumables statistics page allows you to check the amount of usage for printer consumables and other printer statistics, such as the number of sheets, faces, and planes printed as well as the average coverage of each color toner.
PAGE 64
Operator Control Menu » Note: If you are connected to a network via TCP/IP, you have a choice of using Crown accounting or the standard TCP/IP accounting through your UNIX host software. See the TCP/IP Protocol Option User’s Guide for more information on TCP/IP accounting. As jobs are printed on your QMS printer, the system collects information about different job parameters in relation to the jobs. When each job completes, the printer stores an entry for the job in the Job Accounting file(s).
PAGE 65
Operator Control Menu The amount of space required for each job can vary between 200 and 250 bytes, so each 1 MB in the job accounting file will store information on 4,000 to 5,000 jobs. If the selected value is greater than the current value, the file size is increased to reserve the extra space. If the value is smaller than the current file size, any empty job accounting files are moved. If only one file is used and it is not empty, it cannot be shrunk.
PAGE 66
Operator Control Menu » Note: When accounting is enabled and the Job Accounting files are 100% full, no further print jobs are accepted by the printer until Resetaccounting is selected or until Accounting is disabled. If you disable Accounting at this time, no job information is stored. You can retrieve your accounting files while they are full and then do the Resetaccounting operation.

5 Additional Technical Information In This Chapter . . .
PAGE 144
Introduction Introduction This chapter provides additional technical information on memory management, end job mode, the PS Protocol option, and HP-GL color-to-grayscale conversion. Printer-Host Communication Interface An interface is the point at which two elements connect so they can work together. A printer-host interface is the way a printer connects to and works with a host (a microcomputer, workstation, minicomputer, mainframe computer, or network), and it involves both hardware and software.
PAGE 145
Printer-Host Communication HP-GL emulation, HP-PCL emulation, or another optional emulation) from those installed on the printer. The print job is processed without your having to change printer switch settings or send software commands to accommodate different printer emulations. When your printer is in ESP mode, you can easily print files prepared for a PostScript printer, an HP LaserJet, or an HP-GL plotter.
PAGE 146
Halftones Configuring the printer through the control panel is described in chapter 4, “Printer Configuration,” of this manual. Halftones The ability of the printer to produce halftones allows you to add scanned images or halftone graphics to your documents. This section will explain some of the options available on the QMS 4060 for halftone printing. What are Halftones? Continuous tone scanned images have to be converted to dot pattern images on a laser printer.
PAGE 147
Halftones Screen Frequency Screen frequency or Lines Per Inch (LPI) is the number of lines of halftone dots that compose each inch of a halftone screen. The screen frequency determines the number of halftone dots used to represent gray levels in a given area. The following formula shows the relationship between screen frequency, print resolution and gray levels. As the screen frequency increases, the number of gray levels decrease. If resolution is increased, the number of gray levels will also increase.
PAGE 148
Halftones Halftone Types Your printer provides three different options for halftones—basic, standard, and advanced. The number of gray levels increases by increasing the halftone type setting and the printer resolution. Note: The default for this menu is Standard. The standard settings are optimized for performance. The advanced settings are optimized for quality. » A Special Note for QuarkXPress Users Make sure you have installed the 4060 PDFs in the PDF folder in the QuarkXPress folder.

PAGE 150
Memory The ability to configure your printer's memory doesn’t necessarily mean that you must change your current configuration. If you’re presently using all the features you need and the printer is performing efficiently, you shouldn’t feel compelled to reconfigure your printer's memory. Just remember that if your printing needs change, not only do you have the ability to increase the amount of printer memory, but you also can redistribute it where you feel it would best meet your printing requirements.
PAGE 151
Memory Memory Memory allows your printer to store and retrieve information. It’s the space within your printer where information is stored while being actively worked on. Memory Client A memory client is a user of a block of memory dedicated to a specific function. Each memory client controls certain features. When insufficient memory is allocated to a specific client, the features it controls may not be accessible.
PAGE 152
Memory is distributed. Your printer comes with 32 MB of RAM, but it is upgradable to 128 MB by adding Single In-line Memory Modules (SIMMs). RAM Disk Also called a virtual disk, the RAM disk is an area of RAM that is used to simulate an additional hard disk. Data can be written and read more quickly than on a hard disk, but a RAM disk loses any information stored on it when the printer's power is turned off. The spooling buffer is a RAM disk client if a hard disk is not available.
PAGE 153
Memory Physical Memory Physical memory refers to the amount of RAM installed in the printer. Virtual Memory Virtual memory extends the effective size of the printer’s memory by using a disk file or swap file to simulate additional memory space. It enables the hard disk to accept data swapped from RAM to free temporarily the RAM for other tasks. Spool Spooling is temporary storage to hold print jobs until the printer is available to process them.

Memory 3 Does your printer have any internal or external hard disks connected? If so, how many and what size? Disk Cache 4 Which resident emulations will you be running? PS Heap or Emulation 5 Will you be loading any nonresident emulations? If so, how many and which ones? Emulation and Emulation Temp 6 How many printer ports will be connected?

PAGE 155
Memory Memory Clients Memory clients are users of printer memory that are dedicated to a specific purpose. Each of the memory clients is located in the Administration/Memory menu. When you allocate memory to a specific client through the control panel, it’s allocated in kilobytes (KB). Each time you make changes in the Administration/Memory menu, print out a status page to confirm the memory reallocation. » Note: The value for each memory client must be divisible by 4 KB.
PAGE 156
Memory Frame Buffer The Frame Buffer memory client holds rasterized or bitmapped images of page faces which are ready to be sent to the print engine. A frame holds the contents of each single page image. For example, a 600 dpi page printed on letter size paper would consume frame buffer memory space as follows: (600dpi x 600dpi x 8.5 in x 11 in) /8 = 4,207,500 bytes or 4.1 MB.
PAGE 157
Memory Media » Minimum Frame Buffer Size (in KB) 300dpi 300dpi 600dpi 600dpi simplex duplex simplex duplex Statement 2200* 2200* 2200* 3752 Executive 2200* 2200* 3124 6248 Note: * 2200KB is the minimum allowed for the Frame Buffer client. Display List Also known as K Mem Display, this client stores compressed representations, or blocks, of the pages to be printed. It takes approximately one compressed block for a normal 8.5" x 11" (215.9 mm x 279.
PAGE 158
Memory PostScript Font Cache Also known as K Mem PS Fonts and Font Cache, this memory client stores bitmapped representations of previously scaled PostScript fonts. This process reduces the number of times a font must be converted from outline form to bitmap form. Printing pages that have characters already stored in the font cache is immensely faster than printing characters not yet in the font cache.
PAGE 159
Memory the print jobs are completed, leading to virtual memory errors. If not enough memory is allocated to the PS heap, the job cannot print. Increasing the memory allocated to this client allows more complex jobs to print and increases the number of fonts that can be downloaded to virtual memory.
PAGE 160
Memory switching prevents unnecessary repetitive downloading and traffic congestion on networks. Normally, this memory client doesn’t need to be changed unless you plan to download many different non-PostScript fonts. Spool Buffers Also known as Host Input and K Mem for Spool, this memory client stores incoming data from all the interfaces until the emulation can process the print job.
PAGE 161
Memory The amount of memory needed for the disk cache client is dependent on the size of the disk, the number of disks, the number of subdirectories on each disk, and the amount of memory dedicated to caching. As long as the disk cache is enabled and there is enough memory in the disk cache, all disks are accessible.

End Job Mode Therefore, unless a wait timeout (the amount of time the printer is waiting on data from the host) occurs and ends each print job, or unless you add an EOD command between each file being printed through these protocols, some print jobs may be interpreted by the printer as one job and may “run” together. See chapter 4, “Printer Configuration,” for more information on emulation timeout.
PAGE 164
End Job Mode follow are interpreted as being the same emulation as the first job. For example, if there are two print jobs, the first a PCL file with no EOD command, and the second a PostScript file with a Ctrl-D (a PostScript end-of-file character)—ESP technology interprets the emulation of the first job correctly. But since the first print job has no EOD command, it “runs” into the second job, and even though the second job is PostScript, it prints in PCL.
PAGE 165
End Job Mode Stand-Alone PC 1 Set the end job mode from the printer's control panel. 2 Add the EOD command to your file. Note: If using steps 1 and 2 is not feasible in your stand-alone PC environment, you can alternatively use a program that either causes an emulation timeout or that inserts an EOD command between each print job. See your QMS vendor for more information on this type of program. » PC Print Server 1 Set the end job mode from the printer’s control panel.

End Job Mode Adding an EOD Command to Your File When adding an EOD command to your file, use the syntax for the selected EOD command exactly as written (the command's syntax is case sensitive). » Note: represents the escape character. (The decimal value for the escape character is 027, and the hexadecimal value is 1B.) How you enter the escape character depends on your application.
PAGE 168
End Job Mode Sample output file: Text Text Text Text %%EndOfDocument Adding an EOD Command to a Separate File Create an ASCII text file that contains only the EOD command. For example, create a DOS batch file listing each print filename followed by the EOD command filename for each file being printed. Then “run” the batch file to print your list of files. Sample DOS batch file: Command Explanation Print mktg.doc Print end.txt Print acct.doc Print end.

Parallel Interface Modes Parallel Interface Modes In addition to Centronics parallel communication, your printer’s parallel interface provides IEEE 1284 bidirectional parallel communication, which supports five modes of operation. The printer automatically recognizes and uses the mode dictated by the host. Byte Mode Printer-host communication is done in bytes.The byte mode may be used by the host device in a DMA (Direct Memory Access) mode for more efficient operation.
PAGE 170
PS Protocol Option ECP (Enhanced Compatibility Port) Mode This is an advanced version of byte mode which allows transfer of data in either direction without returning to the compatibility mode. The communication is a half-duplex channel with either device, the host or the printer, making a request for data transfer when there is available data. In the case of simultaneous requests for transfer, the printer always defers to the host.
PAGE 171
PS Protocol Option To differentiate data from the special control characters, any data that is the same as one of the following special control characters must be quoted.
PAGE 172
PS Protocol Option Options The following options are available in the PS Protocol menu: Menu Administration/Communications/Interface/PS Protocol Choices Name and Description Interfaces Normal—Enables standard, ASCII hex Parallel, Serial, protocol. Data is sent and received in Ethernet, TokenASCII format. This mode is Ring, LocalTalk recommended if you do not print binary data. It was designed for data in the printable ASCII range. Print jobs can alter the PS protocol value through PostScript operators.
PAGE 173
PS Protocol Option Qbinary (Quoted Binary) Fixed—Enables Ethernet, Tokenbinary communications protocol. Print Ring jobs cannot alter this value through PostScript operators. Data in the printable ASCII range also prints. Use the special quoting mechanism for the special characters and ^D (EOF). Default Normal Notes A data stream sent through the serial or parallel interface using Binary is treated the same as a data stream sent through an optional network interface using QBinary.
PAGE 174
HP-GL Color Encoding HP-GL Color Encoding The term “pen” in the HP-GL emulation refers to a logical pen (in other words, the current pen position) rather than to a physical pen on a plotter. A pen and a pen color are selected to draw images. This emulation supports 8 pens and pen colors. Since your QMS 4060 Print System is a monochrome (black and white) printer, the pen colors are converted to shades of gray.

Warranty Considerations Warranty Considerations Various factors can affect a printer’s warranty. Two important ones are consumables and electrostatic discharge. Read your printer warranty carefully, and then store it in a safe place. » Note: Don’t return any merchandise to the manufacturer without calling for a return merchandise authorization (RMA) number. See appendix A, “QMS Customer Support,” for the QMS Customer Response Center (CRC) telephone number where you can obtain an RMA number.
PAGE 203
Warranty Considerations rubber, wood, painted metal surfaces, and telephones are not acceptable grounding points. The printer isn't an acceptable grounding point either because it must be unplugged before you perform this task. If you don't have an anti-static wrist strap, discharge your body's static electric charge by touching a grounded surface before you handle any printer boards or components and before removing the controller board cover.
