2 Print Media In This Chapter . . .
Introduction Introduction This chapter lists the media sizes and imageable areas supported by the QMS 1725E Print System, and then provides information on selecting and storing media. Media Sizes and Imageable Areas Your printer supports media of different sizes. Each media size has a certain imageable area, the maximum area on which the printer can print.
Media Types and Weights Working Within the Imageable Area The imageable areas for print media on your QMS 1725E Print System are not centered vertically on their respective pages and may vary 1/16" (1.6 mm). You can align the image in several different ways: n n n n Adjust the margins or page size through your application. Use the printer’s control panel (Administration/Engine/Image Alignment menu). Use the PS Executive Series Utilities.
Media Types and Weights Envelopes Type Envelopes can be fed through the upper cassette’s manual feed slot or using the optional power envelope feeder. Use envelopes w ith emulsion-based glue to avoid sealing the flaps as envelopes pass through the hot fuser assembly. Weight Both Monarch 24lb (90 g/m2) and COM 10 24lb (90 g/m2) envelopes are recommended for this printer. Labels Type Use only labels recommended for laser printers, such as Avery 5260.
Media Storage Weight The printer supports the following weights of paper: n n Paper cassettes—17-24 lb (64-90 g/m2) Manual feed—17-34 lb (64-128 g/m2) Transparencies Type Use only transparencies recommended for laser printers, such as Canon brand type D and 3M type PP2500. Weight The printer supports 17-34 lb (64-128 g/m 2) transparencies using manual feed.
3 Professional Printing In This Chapter . . .
Introduction Introduction This chapter displays the printer’s resident typefaces, offers suggestions for using them, and includes page design tips. A bibliography for graphic design and desktop publishing can be found at the end of this chapter. 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.
More Typography Terms space, dollar sign, and ampersand). Other character sets are composed entirely of symbols. More Typography Terms Monospacing The terms “monospaced” and “fixed-pitch” refer to a typeface whose characters all have uniform and equal spacing. These typefaces are useful for spreadsheets and other documents with columnar data. Monospacing is the opposite of proportional spacing.
More Typography Terms 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. A point is a unit of measure equal to 1/72". Therefore, the larger the point size, the larger the letter.
More Typography Terms 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. Oblique (or slanted) type forms, however, are not designed and crafted individually but are mechanically slanted versions of the roman form from which they derive.
Typeface Classification Typeface Classification One way of classifying the different typefaces is to group them into the following categories: n n n n Serif Sans serif Script Pi or symbol 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.
Resident Fonts Script Script typefaces simulate handwriting or brush lettering. Each letter is connected visually, if not physically. ITC Zapf Chancery is a script typeface. Pi or Symbol Pi or symbol typefaces are collections of assorted special-purpose 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.

Resident Fonts Resident HP PCL Fonts Your printer has the following resident HP PCL fonts. All fonts can be automatically rotated to landscape orientation. Some are fixed in pitch and point size while others are scalable. Unless otherwise noted, samples are show in 10 point size.
Optional Fonts 9825 Character Set ANSI ASCII French/German ISO French ISO German ISO IRV (International Reference Version) ISO Italian ISO Norway, Version 1 ISO Norway, Version 2 ISO Portuguese ISO Spanish ISO Swedish ISO Swedish For Names ISO United Kingdom JIS ASCII Katakana Roman Extensions Scandinavian Spanish/Latin American Special Symbols Optional Fonts Your printer supports the following optional fonts: n n n 3-10 Downloadable Fonts—Include Type 1 and Type 3 host-resident and printer-card-resid
PostScript Typeface Sampler PostScript Typeface Sampler Following are some tips on using your printer’s resident PostScript typefaces appropriately and effectively. All samples are printed 10 points in size. Helvetica—Helvetica is a popular typeface, a modification of a kind of sans serif typeface called Grotesque. It is used widely in publishing and is admired for its clean lines, although it can be repetitive to the eye, ESPECIALLY WHEN IN ALL CAPS. Helvetica has a strong bold and bold oblique form.
PostScript Typeface Sampler been used in the United States for decades. This typeface is excellent for a wide variety of applications except for small, condensed formats, where Helvetica proves superior. Times italic is particularly graceful while the bold italic form is thicker. Times is a proportionally spaced typeface. Palatino—Palatino is a graceful typeface designed by Hermann Zapf. It is highly legible and often used for headlines. It has a bold form and a true, crafted italic form.
Page Design Page Design One rule to remember when designing documents is to keep it simple. Avoid cluttering your documents with unnecessary font changes, which can detract from the document. Consider your reader first. Select the typeface that is best for your particular document, and consider the meaning of your words. What are you trying to communicate? A strong, no-nonsense typeface, like Helvetica, proclaims its message loud and clear.

4 Printer Configuration In This Chapter . . .
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.
Methods of Configuration 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 1725 Print System driver, you can select a comparable PostScript driver, such as another QMS driver or a LaserWriter driver. However, comparable drivers may not allow you to access all of your printer's features, such as 600x600 dpi printing, duplexing, or collating.
Configuration Menu Using a Remote Console Many of the configuration choices that can be made at the control panel can also be made through a remote console if you’re connected to a network via an optional network interface. To avoid confusion in a shared printing environment, only the system administrator should make configuration changes. » Note: If a remote console has the printer off line, pressing the Online/Offline key will not take effect until the console puts the printer back on line.
Configuration Menu n Administration Menu Use this menu to maintain printer-host communication information, and for selecting and configuring printer emulations, configuring special pages, printing engine calibration, and configuring hard disks (if installed). » Note: For information on printer-host communication using the Ethernet interface or any options under the CrownNet submenu (Administration/Communications/Network 2/CrownNet), see chapter 2, Printer Configuration, in the .
Configuration Menu The printer must be off line and idle before you can access the configuration menu. Selecting Configuration Menu Options Once you access the configuration menu, you use the control panel keys to move through the menu. Use the following keys: Press this key to...

Operator Control Menu Restoring the Factory Default Configuration If you need to cancel all of the configuration changes you have made, you can reset all of the configuration settings to their factory defaults. Menu Administration/Miscellaneous/Restore Defaults Choices Yes, No Default No Notes This process takes several minutes to complete.
Operator Control Menu Collation Use this option if you have 12 MB of memory or a hard disk installed to arrange multiple copies of a document in sequential order. This option helps to reduce network traffic. Menu Operator Control/Collation/ Choices On, Off Default Off Notes For additional information on collation, refer to Collating Output in chapter 3, “Advanced Printing Features,” in your Operations guide.
Operator Control Menu Outputbin Use this option to indicate the default output bin (tray). You can choose to have paper exit the printer at either the upper bin or the face-up bin. Menu Operator Control/Outputbin Choices Upper, face-up Default Upper Chain Inputbins Allows you to “chain” input bins (cassettes) so that when the first input bin empties, the printer will automatically draw media from the second input bin with the same size and type of media.
Administration Menu Def. Duplex The Def[ault] Duplex option allows you to print on the front and back of each page. Menu Operator Control/Def. Duplex Choices On, Off Default Off Notes This is an optional feature and supported only if the duplexing unit and enough memory are installed. See the “Memory Submenu” later in this chapter. Tumble Duplex Prints jobs so they can be bound at the top edge (flip-chart style).
Communications Communications This menu contains several options that allow you to configure the printer's communication parameters to match the host and application parameters. » Note: This section contains information on Timeouts, Serial, Parallel and Network 2 menus.
Communications Setting an Emulation Timeout The emulation timeout is the maximum number of seconds emulations other than PostScript (such as HP-GL, HP PCL5, and Lineprinter) wait for incoming data. Menu Administration/Communications/Timeouts/Emul Timeout Choices 00000-99999 Default 00005 (5 sec.) Notes A value of 000 is the same as infinity (no timeout). Setting a Print Job Timeout The print job timeout is the maximum number of seconds the printer processes a print job before it ends the job.
Communications Mode Enables or disables the serial port. Menu Administration/Communications/Serial/Mode Choices Interactive—Establish two-way communication between the host and the printer. Noninteractive—Establish one-way communication from the host to the printer. Disabled—Turn off serial communication with the host. The printer stops accepting print jobs over the serial interface. Default Interactive Notes The printer must be restarted for changes to the Mode menu to take effect.
Communications Notes This value must be less than K Mem For Spool. A 00000 value does not turn off the spooling buffer for the serial interface. If the value is set to 00000, the printer calculates the Min K Spool automatically at initialization. The printer must be restarted for changes to the Min K Spool menu to take effect.
Communications Default Job Priority Allows you to specify which jobs are printed first, according to the interface through which they are received, when jobs are received simultaneously. For example, you can give jobs received via the serial interface priority over jobs received via the parallel and Ethernet interfaces.
Communications Choices Off—Ignore parity errors. The printer prints its best interpretation of the character(s) affected by the error. On—Don’t ignore parity errors. The printer replaces the character(s) affected by the error with a question mark. Default Off Notes Use the Administration/Communications/Serial/Parity menu to set parity. Receive Software Flow Control Sets the software communication protocol used by the printer to control communication from the host computer.
Communications Hardware Flow Control Controls the flow of data between the printer and the host. Menu Administration/Communications/Serial/Hdwe Flow Ctl Choices DSR POL DSR DTR POL DTR RTS CTS Normal, reverse Off, on Normal, reverse Off, on Off, on Off, on Defaults DSR POL DSR DTR POL DTR RTS CTS Normal Off Normal On Off Off Notes If the host uses hardware flow control, set this option to match the type used by the host.
Communications Choices Normal—Enable standard, ASCII hex protocol. Data is sent and received in ASCII format. This mode is 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. Normal Fixed—Enable standard, ASCII hex protocol. Print jobs cannot alter this value through PostScript operators. Binary—Enable binary communications protocol.
Communications Notes The printer must be restarted for changes to the 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. See chapter 5, “Additional Technical Information,” for a discussion of the different modes. Emulation Sets the parallel interface emulation.
Communications Spooling Timeout Sets the number of seconds the interface waits for data from the host before terminating a spooled print job. Menu Administration/Communications/Parallel/Spool Timeout Choices 00000-99999 Default 00030 Data Bits Sets the number of data bits transmitted per character.
Communications Default Job Priority Allows you to specify which jobs are printed first, according to the interface through which they are received, when jobs are received simultaneously. Menu Administration/Communications/Parallel/Def Job Prio Choices 001-100 (highest-lowest priority) Default 001 (highest priority) Notes For example, you can give jobs received via the parallel interface priority over jobs received via the serial and Ethernet interfaces.
Communications Setting Network 2 Options CrownNet For information on options and defaults found in this submenu, see chapter 2, “Printer Configuration,” in the QMS CrownNet Interface System Administrator’s Guide. PS Protocol Sets the binary communications protocol (BCP) for communicating over a parallel interface to a PostScript printer. Menu Administration/Communications/Network 2/PS Protocol Choices Normal—Enable standard, ASCII hex protocol. Data is sent and received in ASCII format.
Emulations Default Normal Notes See chapter 5, “Additional Technical Information,” for a full discussion of PS Protocol. Default Job Priority Allows you to specify which jobs are printed first, according to the interface through which they are received, when jobs are received simultaneously.
Emulations job. This allows the system administrator to select alternate default emulations. Menu Administration/Emulations/ESP Default Emul Choices HPGL, Lineprinter, PostScript, PCL5, CCITT Default PCL5 Notes You must turn the printer off and back on again for the change to take effect. For more information on ESP, see chapter 5, “Additional Technical Information.” Setting PostScript Parameters This menu allows you to select a PostScript emulation level.
Emulations CompuServe, has information on HP PCL5C. (See appendix A, “QMS Customer Support,” to find out how to access the bulletin board, Q-FAX, and CompuServe.) In addition, appendix C of this guide has information on the PCL5 Document Option Commands. Default Font Sets the default font for this emulation.
Emulations Notes Not all symbol sets are available with certain resident fonts. The Desktop, PS Math, Math 8, Microsoft-Pub, Pi-Font, PSText, Ventura-Intl, Ventura-Math, Ventura-US, and Windows symbol sets cannot be used with the resident bitmap fonts Courier 10, Courier 10 Italic, Courier 10 Bold, Courier 12, Courier 12 Italic, Courier 12 Bold, and LinePrinter.
Emulations Point Size x100 Identifies the point size for scalable fonts in 0.25 point increments. Menu Administration/Emulations/PCL 5/Point Size x100 Choices 00025-99975 (0.25-999.75 points) Default 01200 (12 points) Notes If the font is not scalable or if a bitmap font is specified, this setting is ignored. Retain Temporary Fonts and Macros Allows you to choose whether to retain temporary HP PCL5 fonts and macros at the end of each print job.
Emulations Choices Off—Reset PCL to its default state at the end of each PCL print job, execute an implicit E at the start and end of the job, and delete any temporary fonts, macros, and patterns. On—Reset PCL to its default state at the end of each PCL print job. Temporary fonts, macros, and patterns from previous PCL print jobs are retained in memory after the print job has completed.
Emulations Notes This feature may be useful when printing PCL4 documents which may inadvertently select unwanted scalable fonts. Default Font Index Sets the default font index when Select by Index is chosen in the Administration/Emulations/PCL 5/Default Font menu. If a font by the same index number exists, it is selected as the default font. This font must be a cartridge or downloaded soft font.
Emulations Notes When set to off, this option maps pen colors as follows: Pen 0=White, Pen 1=Black, Pen 2=Red, Pen 3=Green, Pen 4=Yellow, Pen 5=Blue, Pen 6=Magenta, Pen 7=Cyan. When set to on, this option tells the printer to map each pen to its assigned color, then convert the color to a grayscale using the National Television System Committee (NTSC) color standard for luminosity coefficients (Additive System): Y = 0.30R + 0.59G + 0.11B Example of how to use the color standard formula: WhiteY = [1*0.
Emulations Setting HP-GL Parameters Fifteen configuration choices are available. The QMS Crown Technical Reference (shipped on disk with your printer) contains more detailed information on this emulation. Plotter Identifies the HP-GL plotter type. Menu Administration/Emulations/HPGL/Plotter Choices 7550A, 7475A, 7470A, Colorpro Default 7550A Scaling Percent Identifies the percentage to reduce or enlarge an image.
Emulations Reverse Image Determines whether an image is printed in reverse. Menu Administration/Emulations/HPGL/Reverse Image Choices On—Print a white image on a black background. Off—Print a black image on a white background. Default Off Enhanced Mode Increases the resolution of a downloaded character.
Emulations Notes Setting this option to On partially determines the range of plotter units for a selected media type. When the plotter senses the media type, it automatically sets the hard clip limits to 0.591"/15 mm on three sides and to 1.537"/39 mm on the fourth side. However, if Expand Mode is set to On, then the limits are set to 0.197"/5 mm on three sides and 1.143"/29 mm on the fourth side.
Emulations Default Pen 1—7 (0.7 mm) Pen 2—3 (0.3 mm) Pen 3—3 (0.3 mm) Pen 4—3 (0.3 mm) Pen 5—3 (0.3 mm) Pen 6—3 (0.3 mm) Pen 7—3 (0.3 mm) Pen 8—3 (0.3 mm) Menu Administration/Emulations/HPGL/Pen x/Color Choices Black, Violet, Brown, Gray - 25%, Gray - 50%, Gray - 75%, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta Default Pen 1—Black (100% black) Pen 2—Black (100% black) Pen 3—Red (70% black) Pen 4—Green (41% black) Pen 5—Blue (89% black) Pen 6—Violet (59% black) Pen 7—Orange (25.
Emulations Font Sets the printer fonts for the current print job. Menu Administration/Emulations/Lineprinter/Font Choices All printer-resident PostScript fonts. Default Courier Notes Any PostScript fonts available on the printer can be used. To see a list of available PostScript fonts, print an advanced status page through the printer configuration menu (Administration/Special Pages/Status Page Type) or through the PS Executive Series Utilities. Point Sz 100ths Sets point size (in .
Emulations Tab Stops Specifies the number of spaces between tab stops. Menu Administration/Emulations/Lineprinter/Tab Stops Choices 0-256 Default 8 Line Feed is Carriage Return-Line Feed Specifies whether each line feed (LF) in the print job is translated to a carriage return/line feed (CRLF) combination. Menu Administration/Emulations/Lineprinter/LF is CRLF Choices On—Translate all line feeds to carriage return/line feed combinations. Off—Use lines feeds only as line feeds.
Emulations Orientation Specifies whether text and graphics are placed on the page in a portrait or landscape orientation. Menu Administration/Emulations/Lineprinter/Orientation Choices Landscape, Portrait Default Portrait Autowrap Specifies whether long lines are to be wrapped to the next line instead of being truncated. Menu Administration/Emulations/Lineprinter/CRISCRLF Choices On—Wrap long lines. Off—Truncate long lines.
Special Pages Default Bottom 0 Left 0 Right 0 Top 0 Special Pages Use the Administration/Special Pages menu to print special pages, such as status pages, header pages, and trailer pages. See the QMS Crown Document Option Commands manual (available for purchase from your QMS vendor) for detailed information on the contents of these special pages. Working with Status Pages Printing a status page is a two-step procedure: Identify the type of status page you want to print, and then print it.
Special Pages Default No Notes The type of status page printed is determined by the selection made in the Status Page Type menu. Calibration Page Prints a calibration page. Menu Administration/Special Pages/Calibration Page Choices Yes—Prints calibration page. No—Calibration page will not be printed. Default No Notes See the Administration/Engine/Image Alignment menu for calibration instructions.
Special Pages Notes If you used the Administration/Engine/Inputbin x Name options to change the names of the input bins, these names replace Upper and Lower in the message window. Working with Trailer Pages A trailer page is a separator page that prints after a print job to help users sort out their jobs and, if requested, identify print job errors. Enabling/Disabling Trailer Pages Menu Administration/Special Pages/Trailer Page Choices Off—Don’t print a trailer/error page for each print job.
Printer Start-Up Options Printer Start-Up Options The Administration/Startup Options menu allows you to configure your printer to run certain options automatically when you turn it on. Enabling/Disabling the Start-Up Page By default, the printer prints a start-up page when you turn it on. The start-up page lists basic information about the printer, such as its name, the PostScript emulation level and version, and various printer settings.
Memory Loading the PostScript Error Handler Error Handler is a diagnostic tool that identifies PostScript errors encountered during a print job. Menu Administration/Startup Options/Do Error Handler Choices Yes—Load the Error Handler. No—Don’t load the Error Handler. Default No Notes Refer to the PostScript Language Reference Manual (Adobe Systems Incorporated, Reading, PA: Addison-Wesley, 1990, ISBN 0-201-18127-4) for more information on PostScript errors.
Memory Notes This value must be greater than the sum of the Min K Spool for all installed and enabled interfaces. If you change the K Mem for Spool value, the printer automatically restarts after you save your changes and exit from the configuration menu. When the sum of the Min K Spool for all interfaces is less than K Mem for Spool, memory is allocated as follows: 1 Interfaces with Min K Spool (in the Administration/Communications menu) value greater than zero to receive their specified allocation.
Memory bitmap representations of fonts for the PostScript emulation interpreter. Menu Administration/Memory/K Mem for PS Fonts Choices 00088-08192 Default 00116 Notes This memory setting can reduce the number of times a PostScript font must be converted from outline form to bitmap form, thus reducing processing time. If you change the K Mem for PS Fonts value, the printer automatically restarts after you save your changes and exit from the Configuration menu.
Memory Notes This value must be greater than the sum of the Min K Spool for all installed and enabled interfaces.Data in this client disappears when the printer is turned off. This client is listed as Temporary on the status page. Increasing this client’s size increases the number of PCL downloaded fonts which can be accepted. If you change the K Mem Emul Tmp value, the printer automatically restarts after you save your changes and exit from the Configuration menu.
Memory Notes If the Intellifont SIMM is installed and your printer has 12 MB of memory or less, the Disk Cache size must be set to 48 KB before the printer will recognize the Intellifont SIMM. If your printer has more than 12 MB of memory, the Disk Cache will automatically be set to the required amount. If no hard disk is used, the disk cache should be set to the minimum. The printer then reallocates the released memory to other clients that need additional memory.
Memory If you are uncertain about how to configure your printer’s memory, use only the Administration/Memory/Frame Buffer menu. Or use this menu as a starting point before trying manually to configure your printer’s memory. It provides a simple method of defining how much memory should go to each of the memory clients. Menu options allow you to specify the largest media size you plan to use for each resolution. Memory is then automatically allocated to the memory clients that require it.
Memory Notes This memory client is not user-configurable. If disk swapping is enabled (Administration/Memory/Enable Disk Swap menu), the amount of memory displayed is larger than the actual amount of memory installed in the printer. » Note: Memory that is added to the printer goes into a shared pool that is split between K Mem Display and K Mem Framebuff. This shared memory increases printer throughput but is not guaranteed to be available to either client at any given time.
Printer Engine Features Notes If disk swapping is enabled and the hard disk is removed or not turned on, the printer does not automatically reset to the factory defaults. It assumes there was an error and allows for recovery, such as turning on the external hard disk before turning on the printer. The printer must be restarted for changes to the Enable Disk Swap menu to take effect.

5 Additional Technical Information In This Chapter . . .
Introduction Introduction This chapter provides additional technical information on ESP and SIO features, gamma correction, memory management, end job mode, parallel interface modes, the PS Protocol option, and HP-GL color-to-grayscale conversion.
Simultaneous Interface Operations (SIO) Simultaneous Interface Operations (SIO) All your printer’s ports are active at the same time, so you can attach serial, parallel, Ethernet, and optional interface cables and communicate to all ports from four host computers or networks simultaneously.
About Gamma Correction Terms Several terms related to gamma correction are explained in this section to help you better understand the gamma correction concept. Gray Levels Gray levels are a progressive series of gray tones between black and white. Gray levels are obtained by varying the ratio of black to white dots. The number of gray levels depends on printer resolution and screen frequency.
About Gamma Correction The following illustration shows the relationship between screen frequency, gray levels, and print resolution. As the screen frequency increases, the number of gray levels decreases. 300x300 dpi Gray Levels 600x600 dpi 250 201 200 150 129 100 73 51 50 33 33 19 9 0 42 53 71 106 Screen Frequency (lpi) The number of gray levels that your printer can produce depends on the screen frequency and the print resolution.
About Gamma Correction overall midrange contrast while blacks (shadows) and whites (highlights) keep their original values. Gamma correction sets grayscale values specified through the PostScript setgray operator to your printer’s gray-scale values. Gamma correction is linked to print resolution. The main benefit of gamma correction is that it improves the print quality of a scanned image by improving halftones at a given resolution.
Memory Memory Memory allows your printer to store and retrieve information that’s required to perform many of its tasks. The memory requirements of each printer are dictated by the applications to be run. Each printer comes standard with a certain amount of memory, but you may add more memory as necessary. The memory is divided among users (or “clients”), each of which allocated a specific amount (or “block”) of memory. Each memory client is dedicated to a specific printing and application purpose.
Memory The same is true for managing the memory on your printer. There’s no single correct way for everyone to allocate available printer memory. There may be, however, a best way to configure your printer's memory for maximum efficiency in your specific printing environment. For example, if you use a large number of PostScript fonts of various point sizes, you may want to increase the amount of memory allocated to the area specified for PostScript fonts.
Memory ROM (Read Only Memory) ROM contains data and/or machine-executable instructions that can be read but not modified. On your QMS 1725E Print System, the operating system code, resident fonts, and resident emulations are stored in ROM. This information is not lost when the printer’s power is turned off. RAM (Random Access Memory) RAM is the memory your printer uses to perform each task. It can be written to and read from. Once a task is complete, the memory is free again to be used for another file.
Memory NV RAM Non-volatile is a protected form of RAM used to store information such as your printer’s configuration menu. Because its non-volatile, configuration options you have chosen, such as emulations, memory settings, and input bins, are not lost when you turn off your printer. Physical Memory Physical memory refers to the amount of RAM installed in the printer.
Memory control the unused features and assign it to other clients that need additional memory.
Memory After you have answered all of these questions, read the following sections to find out which memory clients control features you plan to use and which memory clients control features you don’t need. 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 printer’s Administration/Memory menu. When you allocate memory to a specific client through the control panel, it’s allocated in kilobytes (KB).
Memory » Note: The printer does not allow you to choose features that do not work with the amount of memory currently installed. Using this option does not change the media size. It just ensures that you have enough memory allocated to the appropriate clients to print on the requested media size.
Memory The amount of memory required for each compressed block is printer specific. The QMS 1725E Print System takes approximately 32 KB of memory from the display list for each compressed block. However, if a page includes raster image data (for example, TIFF or bitmap data), each compressed block requires much more memory. Increasing the amount of memory in this client may improve printing throughput and minimize slowdowns due to collating or printing complex pages.
Memory PS Heap Also known as K Mem PSHeap, Heap, PostScript VM, and Virtual Memory, this client holds downloaded fonts, PostScript operators, and forms. Inefficiently coded PostScript jobs can consume an extremely large amount of virtual memory or leave objects in the PostScript heap after the print jobs are completed, leading to virtual memory errors. If not enough memory is allocated to the PS heap, the job cannot print.
Memory Temporary Emulation Also known as K Mem Emul Tmp and Emulation Temporary, this client sets the amount of system memory to be used by non-PostScript emulations for storing downloaded fonts, forms, and macros. By dedicating a portion of memory to this client, your printer can perform “context switching,” the ability to retain downloaded fonts and forms even after the printer changes from one emulation to another.
Memory installed. However, when one or more hard disks are installed, they are not available until the disk cache client is increased. 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.
Memory » Note: After you format a hard disk and the FORMAT COMPLETE message is displayed in the message window, the formatted disk may not be available to the system until the printer is turned off and then on again. MB Printer Mem This field shows the size of the physical RAM installed in the printer. If a hard disk is installed and disk swapping is enabled (Administration/ Memory/Enable Disk Swap), this field also gives the size of available virtual memory.
End Job Mode End Job Mode When sending print jobs through the serial and parallel protocols, some applications and their printer drivers append an end-of-document command (EOD) to each print job to ensure that each file prints correctly. The reason for this is that some protocols and print queuing systems send print jobs to the printer as one continuous data stream (one print job immediately following another).
End Job Mode n n n n n Multiple print jobs with little or no time delay and with no EOD commands have been sent to the printer and the message window displays only one active job. Multiple print jobs of the same printer language have been sent to the printer and they print on the same page. (For example, you send the AUTOEXEC.BAT file with no EOD command followed with little or no time delay by the CONFIG.SYS file, and they both print on the same page.
End Job Mode commands perform an end of document for all of the printer emulations supported on your printer (PostScript, HP-GL, HP PCL, and Lineprinter). See your system administrator or applications development department to have them identify the standard EOD command for your organization, or to have them select a standard EOD command.
End Job Mode your print queuing system documentation, your network administrator, or your QMS vendor for more information.
End Job Mode Next Advances to the appropriate option (QMS END JOB MODE EOD, HP EOD, or None). OPTION Select Selects the option. OPTION IS SELECTED Returns to the Parallel (or Serial)/End Job PARALLEL/SERIAL Mode menu. END JOB MODE Online/ Offline Asks you if you want to save your change. SAVE CHANGES? NO Next Advances to the Yes option. SAVE CHANGES? YES Select Saves your change and idles the printer. IDLE Online/ Offline Puts the printer back on line.
End Job Mode When the QMS EOD or the HP EOD is set, the printer does not recognize the Ctrl-D EOD command. Add your organization's standard EOD command to the end of your print file, or add it to a separate file. Adding an EOD Command to the End of Your File Create an output file (for example, print an ASCII, PCL, or PostScript file to disk) and add your organization's standard EOD command (QMS EOD or HP EOD) to the end of that file.
Parallel Interface Modes trailers. The print server does not necessarily send multiple print jobs to the printer in the order that you queued them to the printer. The network job separator is accessed with each print job, so this ensures that network job separation is enforced. See QMS Crown Network Notes for more information on how to create a network job separator for several commonly used networks.
PS Protocol Option Check your host documentation to see if the host is 1284 compatible. Compatibility Mode Printer-host parallel communication is done in a manner that ensures compatibility. 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.
PS Protocol Option communications protocol to distinguish between the special control characters and print job binary data. 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.
PS Protocol Option Options The following options are available in the PS Protocol menu. Menu Administration/Communications/Interface/PS Protocol Choices Normal—Enables standard, ASCII hex protocol. Data Parallel, serial, is sent and received in ASCII format. This mode is Ethernet, and optional interfaces 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.
HP-GL Color Encoding Advantages The main advantage of using the Binary and Fixed Binary PS protocol modes when sending binary data is that these modes compress the data stream allowing your documents to be smaller so you can send smaller jobs to the printer. For example, some device drivers can format bit map images as binary data instead of as ASCII hex data.
HP-GL Color Encoding » Note: The default color for both pen 1 and pen 2 is black. However, the pen width for these two pens is different. Pen 1 is 0.7 mm and pen 2, like the other six pens, is 0.3 mm. The printer maps each pen to its assigned color, then converts the color to a grayscale using the National Television System Committee (NTSC) standard equation for encoding color. This equation converts a given set of CMYK values to grayscale.

Emulations on the Hard Disk Procedure 1 If necessary connect the PC to the printers parallel or serial port. 2 Turn on the printer, and wait for IDLE to appear in the message window. 3 Insert the emulation disk in your PCs 3.5" disk drive, and change to that drive (for example, if youre using the A drive, type a:↵). 4 Send the emulation to the printers hard disk. n If your PC and printer are connected through the parallel port, type copy /b *.ps lpt#↵ where # is 1 to 3.
Emulations on the Hard Disk will describe the procedure for copying and removing emulations on the hard disk. Installing an Optional Emulation O You must have a minimum of 12 MB of RAM to run an emulation that has been copied to a hard disk. Caution: Use the Install Option selection from the Disk Operations menu. Refer to the instructions in chapter 4, Printer Configuration, for using the printer control panel.
Kanji Fonts Remove Option selection in the Disk Operations submenu compares the contents of the emulation card with the contents of the hard drive. The matching files are then deleted from the hard drive. To remove a printer emulation, follow this procedure: 1 Make sure the printer is on and idle. From the Administration menu, select the Disk Operations submenu. 2 Press the Next key until REMOVE OPTION displays. 3 Press the Select key.
Kanji Fonts has an optional Kanji hard disk installed, the Kanji fonts are available for use just as if they were resident in the printer. Hardware Requirements To use your QMS Kanji fonts, you need n A QMS Kanji Option Kit n Minimum of 12 MB memory n A Macintosh, IBM PC, or compatible computer with a Kanji operating system and a Kanji application. » Note: Your printer cant support Kanji with the standard memory; you must add an additional 4 MB of memory to the printer for Kanji support.
Kanji Fonts the reserved settings of 7, 8, or 9. Your Kanji hard disk is preset at the factory to device number 6. Use a pointed object such as a small tip screwdriver, paper clip, or ball point pen to press the SCSI ID selector button if changing the device number is necessary. SCSI ID 4 Connect the 25-pin end of the SCSI cable to the external SCSI port on the printers interface panel.
Kanji Fonts 6 Terminate the last hard disk drive in the chain by plugging a terminator into the empty SCSI interface port at the rear of the hard disk drive. When two or more hard disk drives are chained, the last drive on the chain must be terminated. Only one disk in a chain of hard disk drives may be terminated. If your Kanji hard disk drive is the only hard disk drive attached to the printer then it must be terminated.
Kanji Fonts Configuring the Printer This section provides information on reconfiguring and adding additional memory, and configuring other menu options for Kanji. Reconfigure the Memory Due to the size of the Kanji two-byte font sets, you will need to reallocate the printers memory for specific memory clients. » Note: Your printer cant support Kanji with the standard memory; you must add an additional 4 MB of memory to the printer for Kanji support.

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. Consumables and Your Warranty The use of non-QMS consumables and/or accessories alone does not affect either your warranty or any maintenance contract you may have purchased.
Warranty Considerations troller board cover. Redischarge your body each time after walking around and before touching the printer controller board again. Handle the tray carefully, and try to handle it by the edges only. Incidental and consequential damages caused by not discharging electrostatic buildup can affect your printer warranty.
C Document Option Commands In This Chapter . . .
Introduction Introduction This appendix lists the supported Document Option Commands (DOCs) for your QMS 1725E Print System. The commands are grouped by feature type. Each command is preceded by either a DOC statement (%%) or an IncludeFeature statement (%%IncludeFeature). See the QMS Crown Document Option Commands manual for information on how to use each command. This appendix also provides updated information on HP PCL 4 and PCL 5 DOCs, as well as a listing of CCITT commands.
Supported DOCs Select pen width and color%%IncludeFeature:pen Select plotter%%IncludeFeature:plotter Shift the origin%%IncludeFeature:origin Reverse image%%IncludeFeature:reverse HP PCL 5 Emulation Commands Enable scalable fonts%%IncludeFeature:scalablefonts* Establish the current resource%%IncludeFeature:install* and default object ID value Remove an external object%%IncludeFeature:remove* %%IncludeFeature:removeresource* Reset to PCL defaults%%IncludeFeature:reset Retain temporary macros/fonts%%IncludeF

Updated DOCs is accessed by specifying a desired set of attributes. The system selects the font that most closely matches these attributes from the available set of fonts. See the PCL 5 Emulation Technical Reference Manual for information on what characterizes a PCL font. There are two types of fonts—bound and unbound. A bound font supports a single symbol set. An unbound font supports multiple, but not all, symbol sets. With unbound fonts, the symbol sets are organized into two groups—normal and Dingbats.
Updated DOCs font is affected. Object There are three types of PCL downloaded objects: n Temporary Temporary objects reside on the current resource and they are deleted either at the beginning and end of a job (unless Retain Temporary is set to On or On Compatibility) or when the system is reset (E or receipt of Printer Job Language). n Permanent Permanent objects reside on the current resource and are retained when the system is reset (E or receipt of Printer Job Language).
Updated DOCs loaded objects are stored in file systems which reside on these resources. The RAM1: resource may be used as the default, but systems with at least one hard disk use the system disk instead. So, for any hard disk-equipped printer, all downloaded objects (except palettes, which require special handling) are stored on disk. The default resource and one of the additional resources can reside on the same hard disk, but they will be located in different directories of that resource’s file system.
Updated DOCs Updated PCL 5 DOCs Disable Scalable Fonts Command Syntax %%IncludeFeature:scalablefonts(value) Purpose Enables/disables PCL 5 scalable fonts. Variable value Notes Purpose Specifies whether to disable scalable fonts. Range 0—Enables scalable fonts 1—Disables scalable fonts Default 0 Disable scalable fonts to n Print PCL 4 documents which have selected PCL 5 scalable fonts. n More closely emulate the PCL 4 font environment.
Updated DOCs object id Notes Purpose Assigns an ID to an object, such as a font, macro, or pattern. Range 0-32767 Default 0 Format Integer Notes The object ID can be used instead of the usual PCL command to assign an ID. This ID is overwritten by any ID assigned from the PCL print job, if present. If neither a DOC command nor the PCL print job specify an ID, the default ID of 0 is used. Identifiers must be unique.
Updated DOCs Example %! B—Job 1 %%IncludeFeature:emulation(pcl5) install(6 20) %%EndComments )s#W<>*c33E (s#W<>*c34E (s#W<>. *c5F Example (8U(s1p12v0s0b4153This text will be B—Job 2 in the downloaded font, if it supports the ROMAN-8 symbol set, is proportionally spaced, 12 points in height (or scalable), upright, medium weight, and has type # 4153.
Updated DOCs object id Notes: Purpose Specifies the ID of the object that is to be removed from the printer system. Range *, -1 to 32767 Default -1 (wildcard) Format Integer Notes If the object id is not specified, or if it is specified as * or -1, all objects on the specified resource are removed. Unlike the %%IncludeFeature:install command, the %%IncludeFeature:remove command does not set any defaults, and it is not directly related to the job to which it is attached.
Updated DOCs Remove Resource Command Syntax %%IncludeFeature:removeresource(resource id object id) Purpose Identifies an external object that is to be removed from the printer system. Notes This is an obsolete DOC command that is identical to the remove command, except that it does not allow specification of an object type. The DOC string “removeresource(aaa bbb)” is equivalent to “remove(aaa bbb *)”. Variables resource id Purpose Indicates the resource from which the object is to be removed.
Updated DOCs Resource Command Syntax %%IncludeFeature:resource(resource id object code) Purpose Establishes the current resource and the default object code value for the current job to which it is attached. Notes This command is identical to the %%IncludeFeature:install DOC. It is included for backward compatibility. All downloaded objects are by default temporary, and will be deleted at the end of a job unless Retain Temporary is set to on, true, or on compatibility.
Updated DOCs Select Font Command Syntax %%IncludeFeature:font (font name) Purpose Specifies the default font to use. Notes Fonts are identified by the names shown above. Only the resident fonts may be selected (the available set varies from printer to printer). An asterisk * in the name indicates that a font is scalable, and that a point size is to be applied. The value selectbyid indicates that the default font ID or unique font index will be used for default font selection.
Updated DOCs Notes This index is used when the Default Font selected is selectbyid. This allows for selection of fonts only on the current resource. Selection of default font by index overrides the symbol set value. The symbol set is overridden if a bound font is selected as the default or if an unbound font is selected that does not support the default symbol set. If a font with the specified index exists, it is selected as the Default Font.

Updated DOCs Notes The result of various settings for these parameters is shown in table below, in terms of the equivalent code passed to the PCL line termination command (&k#G). The second setting (lfiscrlf on, criscrlf off) is correct for most ASCII listings printed from UNIX machines. PC listings should usually be done with both items set to off, and Macintosh listings usually require the third setting (lfiscrlf off, criscrlf on).
Updated DOCs Format boolean Notes The result of various settings for these parameters is shown in the table included in the Set Carriage Return (Line Termination) discussion, in terms of the equivalent code passed to the PCL line termination command. The second setting (lfiscrlf on, criscrlf off) is correct for most ASCII listings printed from UNIX machines.
Updated DOCs Set Point Size Command Syntax %%IncludeFeature:pointsize(default font size) Purpose Specifies the point size for scalable default font. Notes If the selected font is not scalable or if a bitmap font size is specified, this setting is ignored. Variable default font size Purpose Specifies the floating point number for point size. Range 0.25 to 999.75 in 0.
CCITT Commands CCITT Commands The CCITT command language consists of ASCII text strings that set options for the CCITT emulation. The options must be set on a per-image basis because they are returned to their default values after each image is decompressed. If the correct options are not set for decompression before the decompression begins, the emulation absorbs the data until it finds a valid end-of-job marker.
CCITT Commands ImageSize Function Sets the image size to be used for decompression of the image data that follows the %%ImageData command. Syntax %%ImageSize (width height) width The width of the image in pixels. height The height of the image in pixels. Default None. Notes This command must be used in order to decompress an image. This command must be sent before the %%ImageData command. If it is not, the image is ignored. ImagePosition Function Sets the image position (in 0.
CCITT Commands Rotation Function Sets the rotation to be used when the image is decompressed. Syntax %%Rotation (degree) degree 00° rotation 9090° rotation 180180° rotation 270270° rotation Default 0–The image is not rotated Notes Rotation occurs about the current image position origin set by the %%ImagePosition command. If no %%ImagePosition command has been used, rotation occurs about the origin (0,0).
CCITT Commands BlockEnd Function Indicates whether a CCITT End of Block is included in the image data. Syntax %%BlockEnd (true/false) Default true Indicates that a BlockEnd is required in the image data. Otherwise, an error results false Indicates that a BlockEnd is not required in the image data but, if present, it is accepted with no error.
CCITT Commands InvertImage Function Indicates whether the data in the image is inverted. Syntax %%InvertImage (true/false) Default true Indicates that the data in the image is inverted. false Indicates yhat the date in the image is not inverted. false Compression Function Sets the data compression type of the data following the %%ImageData command.
CCITT Commands ImageData Function Instructs the emulation to begin decompression of the image data using the currently set image options. This command begins reading the image data after the end of the current line. After the image, the input stream is flushed until the next set of %% characters is encountered. Syntax %%ImageData Default None—no options. Notes You must specify %%ImageSize before %%ImageData. If you do not, the data following %%ImageData is absorbed with no effect on the file.
CCITT Commands JobEnd Function Signals the end of a CCITT print job and resets the printer to the default mode. Ends the job and returns the printer to ESP mode. Syntax %%JobEnd Default None—no options. Notes If this command is omitted, the printer remains in CCITT emulation mode until the emulation wait timeout expires (Administration/x/Emul Timeout menu).

Page Memory A special buffer large enough to hold an entire page of data. Paper Path The path the paper follows in its journey through the printer; it begins at the paper cassette or tray pickup point and ends at the output tray. Parallel Interface A data transmission technique that sends each bit simultaneously over separate lines.
Permanent Soft Fonts Permanent Soft Fonts Permanent soft fonts are soft fonts downloaded into the printer's memory that remain resident there, even if the printer is reset, until the printer is turned off or the fonts are deleted by an application. See also download . Physical Memory The amount of RAM installed in the printer. Point Size The height of a character or symbol in a font. There are 72 points per inch. This text is printed using a 10 point font. Portrait Orientation See orientation.
Raster Graphics Print Quality A general measure of the appearance and readability of a printed page. Criteria of print quality include the darkness, clarity, and sharpness of the printed page. Printed Circuit Board A flat board made of plastic, fiberglass, or another nonconducting material on which chips and other electronic components are mounted. Printer Driver A printer driver is a program that translates the file you are printing into a language that the printer understands.
Rasterization in which the dots are arranged. Bitmaps can define images, shapes, or characters created with a specific number of dots per inch. See also bitmap. Rasterization The conversion of vector graphics (images described mathematically as points connected by straight lines) to equivalent images composed of pixel patterns that can be stored and manipulated as sets of bits.
SIMM (Single In-line Memory Module) 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. Screen The pattern in which dots or lines are placed on a page to create colors or levels of gray. See also screen angle. Screen Angle The angle at which a screen is printed. See also screen.
SIO (Simultaneous Interface Operation) SIO (Simultaneous Interface Operation) The capability of printing to all three of the printer's concurrently active ports rather than being restricted to one. Soft Fonts Fonts created or stored on disks. They can be transferred to the printer’s memory and remain available to be used until the printer is turned off. See also download. Spool An acronym for simultaneous print operations on line.
