About the Printer About the Printer The QMS 1060 Print System offers the unique QMS Crown multitask- ing operating system, superior performance, extensive connectivity, upgrade options, and flexible emulation support. In addition, it prints 10 pages per minute on letter/A4-size paper and offers a choice of 300x300 or 600x600 dpi printing on letter, legal, executive, A4, B5 ISO, or postcard-size paper.
Standard Product Documentation You received the following documentation with your product: You’re looking at this manual right now. The section called “About This Manual” QMS 1060 later in this chapter tells you what’s Print System included in this manual. Getting Started This manual guides you through the day-to-day operation of your printer.

User Benefit—A choice of printing modes allows you to lower print- ing costs by reducing the amount of toner on the printed page when printing draft copies of documents. 1-14 QMS 1060 Print System Getting Started EDNord - Istedgade 37A - 9000 Aalborg - telefon 96333500...
Multiple Resolutions Two printer resolutions are available: 300x300 and 600x600 dots per inch. Note: With the standard 8 MB of RAM on the QMS 1060 printer » 300x300 dpi is available for all media sizes and 600x600 dpi is available for all media sizes except legal which requires additional memory.
PostScript Level 2 Emulation and Level l Compatibility The QMS 1060 Print System’s Level 2 emulation allows you to take full advantage of your printer’s high print resolution. The Level 2 emu- lation is compatible with Adobe’s PostScript Level 2 language while providing additional capabilities.

Although many other printers have multiple interface ports and auto- matically designate a “hot port,” only one port actively receives data at a time. Your QMS 1060 Print System is unique because SIO allows all of its interface ports—LocalTalk, parallel (Centronics and bidirec- tional IEEE 1284), serial, and two optional network interfaces—to be...
The QMS 1060 Print System prints almost any file sent in a language ESP technology understands, whether you have one, two, or more hosts, and whether you are communicating through an LocalTalk, Centronics or bidirectional IEEE 1284 parallel, serial, or optional net- work interface.
User Benefit—You save time and print media because it’s unneces- sary to resend a print job after clearing a media jam. Energy Star Compliance The QMS 1060 Print System is compliant with US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Energy Star regulations.
User Benefit—This card slot allows you to use optional fonts or emu- lations (see “Printer Options,” in the following section). Printer Options The following options are available for your QMS 1060 Print System. Contact your QMS vendor for purchase information. Upgradable RAM (Random Access Memory)
Printer Features User Benefit—Your printer’s memory can be upgraded as your needs grow. Additional RAM provides room for font downloading and font caching, and it increases the printer’s buffer (the area where data sent from the host computer is stored), allowing you to send large data-intensive files to the printer without tying up the host for long periods.
User Benefit—A security card restricts access to the configuration menu to those users with valid passwords, ensuring that default set- tings are not changed inappropriately. 1-22 QMS 1060 Print System Getting Started EDNord - Istedgade 37A - 9000 Aalborg - telefon 96333500...
Network Interfaces Using CrownNet NICs (network interface cards), the QMS 1060 Print System can be attached to Ethernet or Token-Ring networks running multiple protocols. Contact your QMS vendor for a list of available protocols.

Installing Consumables Installing Consumables You must install the toner cartridge, load and install the cassette, con- nect the power cord, and print the start-up page before you can install any options. Installing the Toner Cartridge In your laser printer, characters and images are created through a process that applies toner (made of carbon particles) to the page in the printer’s fusing unit.
Page 36
Distribute the toner in the cartridge. Holding the cartridge with both hands, gently rock it from side-to- side five or six times to distribute the toner. 2-10 QMS 1060 Print System Getting Started EDNord - Istedgade 37A - 9000 Aalborg - telefon 96333500...
Page 37
Installing Consumables Open the printer’s top cover. Slide the toner cartridge into the printer. Hold the grooved area on the toner cartridge with your right hand, with the arrow on the toner cartridge facing away from you angle the cartridge down in the printer. Place the cartridge on the rails inside the upper unit of the printer, and gently slide it straight down until it is firmly seated.
Installing Consumables Loading the 500-Sheet Cassette The QMS 1060 Print System comes standard with one 500-sheet let- ter/A4 cassette. The printer automatically pulls media from the cas- sette. Load media in the cassette as follows: Note: You should ensure that the media size matches the cassette »...

Optional Interfaces In addition to the three standard interfaces—LocalTalk, bidirectional parallel, and serial—the QMS 1060 Print System has the option of using two optional interfaces to connect your printer to an Ethernet or Token-Ring network. If you’ve purchased an optional interface for your printer, see chapter 6, “Printer Options”...
Before Making the Connection What You Need Interface cables are not included with your printer. If you’re replacing a printer, you may already have the necessary cables. If not, you’ll need to purchase the cables from your QMS vendor or a local com- puter store.
Attach the 36-pin end of the cable to the printer’s parallel port (it’s labeled “PARALLEL”). Close the clips. To Printer 36-pin Female To Computer 25-pin Female QMS 1060 Print System Getting Started EDNord - Istedgade 37A - 9000 Aalborg - telefon 96333500...

If a blank page doesn’t eject and you typed the file correctly, you may want to check your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to see if LPT1 (the parallel port) is being directed to COM1 (the serial port): QMS 1060 Print System Getting Started EDNord - Istedgade 37A - 9000 Aalborg - telefon 96333500...
Testing Communication If the AUTOEXEC.BAT file contains the line MODE LPT1:=COM1: delete it. Then type MODE LPT1:,,P↵ The “P” represents infinite retry and it tells the PC to send print jobs until the printer accepts them. Restart the PC and retry the communication test. See chapter 6, “Troubleshooting,”...
However, if they differ, you must configure the printer to use the serial settings specified in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. QMS 1060 Print System Getting Started EDNord - Istedgade 37A - 9000 Aalborg - telefon 96333500...
