Page 18: Introduction
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.
Page 19: Media Types And Weights
Media Types and Weights Working Within the Imageable Area The imageable areas for print media on your QMS 1725E Print Sys- tem are not centered vertically on their respective pages and may vary " (1.6 mm). You can align the image in several different ways: Adjust the margins or page size through your application.

Character Set A character set is a collection of symbols designed for various printing applications. Many character sets are composed of the letters (upper- case and lowercase A-Z), digits (0-9), and any symbol (such as blank QMS 1725E Print System Reference...
Page 25: More Typography Terms
More Typography Terms space, dollar sign, and ampersand). Other character sets are com- posed 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.
Page 26 10-Pitch Courier 12-Pitch Courier Stroke Weight Stoke weight (light/medium/bold) is the width (thickness), of the lines (strokes) that make up a character. The following example shows the medium and bold weights of Palatino: Palatino Palatino QMS 1725E Print System Reference...
Page 27 More Typography Terms Italic and Oblique Forms Italic was originally developed in the early sixteenth century as a type- face 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.
Page 28: Typeface Classification
In the following example, the slight curving at the bottom of the letters “t” and “a” is not a serif. It is part of the line forming the letter rather than a decorative line added on: Helvetica QMS 1725E Print System Reference...

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.

Page 35: Page Design
Page Design Page Design One rule to remember when designing documents is to keep it sim- ple. 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.

Page 103: Simultaneous Interface Operations (Sio)
LocalTalk interface uses only PostScript.) Advanced users can also use PostScript operators to reconfigure printer ports. The QMS Crown Technical Reference contains informa- tion about PostScript operators. Generally, it is best to keep your printer in ESP mode. Since ESP mode is the factory default, all you have to do to use it initially is connect your host and printer and then send a file.

A halftone is a printed copy of a scanned image as a set of tiny, evenly spaced spots of variable diameter that, when printed, visually blur together to appear as shades of gray. Your QMS 1725E Print System creates halftone cells by mapping each gray level onto a col- lection of dots.

53 lpi. This typically allows 33 different levels of gray. You can change screen frequency through your application or by using the PostScript setscreen operator. The QMS Crown Technical Reference Manual contains information on setscreen. The extra gray levels available through higher resolution provide a smoother shift from the darkest black to very light grays while higher resolution provides sharper image outlines.

(or “block”) of memory. Each memory client is dedicated to a specific printing and application purpose. Your QMS 1725E Print System allows you to distribute its memory among the various memory clients where it can best serve your specific printing needs.
Page 108: Memory Terms
Memory Terms Before you can configure your printer's memory efficiently, you must first understand the different types of memory and how they work together. Your QMS 1725E Print System documentation uses the fol- lowing memory terms: 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.
Page 109 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.
Page 110: Evaluation Of Your Printing Environment
Flash ROM Quick loading, reprogrammable memory that holds information even when the printer is turned off is known as flash ROM. Your QMS 1725E Print System has flash ROM available to hold system code and future system upgrades. The chief advantage of flash ROM is...
Page 111 Memory control the unused features and assign it to other clients that need additional memory. Evaluation Questions To get a better idea of what your printing requirements and your printer’s capabilities are, answer the following questions: How much RAM does your printer have (standard and additional memory)? Do you have the option of installing additional memory if it’s needed?
Page 112: 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 clients that require it. 5-12 QMS 1725E Print System Reference...
Page 113 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.
Page 114 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.
Page 115 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.
Page 116 Conversely, if no hard disk is used, the disk cache should be set to 36 KB until a hard disk is 5-16 QMS 1725E Print System Reference...
Page 117 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 subdirecto- ries on each disk, and the amount of memory dedicated to caching.
Page 118: Hard Disk Management
Hard Disk Management You can add one internal hard disk and up to three external hard disks to your QMS 1725E Print System. These hard disks serve as secondary storage places for such items as downloaded fonts, emu- lations, and spooled data.
Page 119: End Job Mode
EOD command between each job, the serial and parallel protocols may be unable to detect an end of job automatically. So the End Job Mode feature on QMS Crown printers was designed to allow you to set the end of document for print jobs being sent through these proto- cols.
Page 120: Using The Eod Commands
EOD automatically, due to a lack of an EOD command in some printer languages, you can insert an EOD command at the end of your file to tell the printer where your print job ends. QMS Crown printers recog- nize two end-of-document commands: QMS EOD and HP EOD.

Page 124: Creating A Network Job Separator
End Job Mode When the QMS EOD or the HP EOD is set, the printer does not rec- ognize 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.
Page 125: Parallel Interface Modes
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.
