  • Page 24 This chapter displays the printer’s resident typefaces, offers sugges- tions 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. Many of the terms and phrases used in desktop publishing are derived from the language of professional printers and typesetters.
  • Page 25 One way of classifying the different typefaces is to group them into the following categories: 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 imes Roman and Times are serif typefaces.
  • Page 26 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. Many typefaces today include a complement of the more commonly used pi characters.
  • Page 27 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. A scalable font is one in which each character’s dot pattern (bitmap) is generated from a mathematical representation (or outline) of the character.
  • Page 28 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. ITC Avant Garde Roman ITC Avant Garde Oblique individually but are mechanically slanted versions of the roman form from which they derive.

  • Page 50 Special pages Timeouts One of the features of your printer is collation: the printing of sets of multiple copies of a document in numeric order. Your printer is capa- ble of delivering multiple copies of your files in collated order to the output tray.
  • Page 51 3(a), copy 4(a), copy 1(b), copy 2(b), copy 3(b), and copy 4(b) To greatly improve collation performance which allows you to print longer and more complex print jobs on the QMS 1060 Print system, you can do one of the following:...
  • Page 52 When collation is turned off, the printer prints the requested number of copies for each page. However, when collation is turned on, the printer looks at the number of copies for the first page and prints that many copies of each page.
  • Page 53 001. The system software in your QMS 1060 Print System is stored on 4 MB of flash memory that can be erased and rewritten to “in a flash.”...
  • Page 54 Caution: Some fonts downloaded on your printer’s hard disk are copy-protected. Therefore, when you upgrade the system upgrade (release 2.0 or later firmware) on your QMS 1060 Print System, these fonts must be re-downloaded in order for the printer to recognize them.
  • Page 55 (using the table in the previous section), you must install the soft- ware on your computer’s hard disk before you can download it to the printer. Ensure that your computer has enough free hard disk space for the system software.
  • Page 56 Download the system software to the printer. The procedure for downloading system software depends on whether the print system software is functional (the printer starts up normally, and IDLE displays in the message window) or non- functional (the printer can’t start up; the message window remains blank), and which system software file you decom- pressed in the previous step.
  • Page 57 Ensure that the system software is installed, as described in the previous section. Turn on the printer, wait for IDLE to appear in the message win- dow, and then print an advanced status page. This procedure may change the current configuration settings.
  • Page 58 The downloading process takes about 5 minutes, depending on the size of the file and the speed of your computer. The printer’s Ready indicator blinks as the new system image is copied to flash memory. After the updated system software has been written to flash memory, the printer reboots with the new system image, prints a start-up page, and returns to IDLE.

  • Page 107: Configuration Menu

    This section briefly describes each of the memory clients. See chap- ter 5, “Additional Technical Information,” for more detailed information on the printer’s memory and what benefits, if any, may result from adding memory to each client. To find out how memory is currently allocated, print a status page using the Status Page key on the control panel or check each client individually in the configuration menu.
  • Page 108 You may need to install additional printer memory. See chapter 6, “Printer Options,” for information on installing additional printer memory. If you change the K Mem Disk Cache value, the printer automatically restarts after you save your changes and exit from the configuration menu.
  • Page 109 For example, the recommended disk cache client size for a single 120 MB hard disk is 180 KB, and for two 120 MB hard disks it is 240 KB. These are recommended values. The printer still operates with a smaller cache, but decreased performance may result.
  • Page 110 The default size of the swap file depends on the amount of RAM installed. The more RAM installed, the larger the default swap file size will be. The printer uses this file as an extension of its memory. As the physical RAM fills, the printer can swap the con- tents to the hard disk file to allow more space.
  • Page 111 If you Enable Disk Swap and restart the printer, then the disk cache size automatically increases to 256 KB. See the “Disk Cache” section, earlier in this chapter for more information.
  • Page 112 » 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.

    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 1060 Print Sys- tem creates halftone cells by mapping each gray level onto a collec- tion of dots.
  • Page 134 Your printer provides two different types of halftones—basic and advanced. These two options allow you to customize the smoothness of the printed image according to the number of grayscales it uses. Basic— Regular dot placement at 53 lpi for 300x300 resolution or 71 dpi for 600x600 resolution.
  • Page 135 As the screen frequency increases, the number of gray levels decreases. The number of gray levels that your printer can produce depends on the screen frequency and the print resolution. The default value for screen frequency using 600 dpi is 71 lpi.
  • Page 136 A screen angle is the angle at which a halftone screen prints. The default screen angle for your QMS 1060 Print System is 45°. This is the normal angle for black and white printers. You can change the screen angle through the PostScript setscreen operator.

  • Page 138: Memory

    The memory is divided among blocks or “memory clients,” each of which is dedicated to a specific printing and application purpose. Your QMS 1060 Print System allows you to distribute its memory among the various memory clients where it can best serve your specific print- ing needs.

  • Page 139: 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 1060 Print System documentation uses the fol- lowing memory terms:...

  • Page 140: Memory Clients

    This type of memory contains data and/or machine-executable instructions that can be read but not modified. On your QMS 1060 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 141 RAM you have and how that RAM is distributed. Your printer comes with 8 MB of RAM, upgradable to 64 MB by adding Single In-line Memory Modules (SIMMs). Also called a virtual disk, the RAM disk is an area of RAM that is used to simulate an additional hard disk.
  • Page 142 Flash memory is quick loading, reprogrammable memory that holds information even when the printer’s power is turned off. The QMS 1060 Print System has Flash ROM available to hold system code and future system upgrades. The chief advantage of Flash memory is that...

  • Page 144 Memory clients are blocks of printer memory that are dedicated to a specific purpose. Each of the memory clients is located in the Admin- istration/Memory menu.
  • Page 145 Memory is then automatically allocated to the clients that require it. Any excess memory is allocated among all memory clients. Note: The printer does not allow you to choose features that do not » work with the amount of memory currently installed.
  • Page 146 The amount of memory required for each R1 block is printer specific. The QMS 1060 Print System takes approximately 64 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 will require much more memory.
  • Page 147 As the font cache memory fills, the printer makes room for new bit- mapped characters by erasing those that have been in the cache longest without being used.
  • Page 148 Also known as K Mem PS Heap, PostScript VM, and Virtual Memory, this client holds downloaded fonts, PostScript operators, and forms. Inefficiently coded PostScript jobs can consume an unlimited amount of virtual memory or leave objects in the PostScript heap after the print jobs are completed, leading to virtual memory errors.
  • Page 149 By ded- icating 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.
  • Page 150 The disk cache is a high speed temporary buffer for data going to and from the hard disk. It can speed the printer in two ways: Information such as frequently referenced fonts and logos may still be in the cache and may not have to be pulled off a hard disk each time they’re needed.
  • Page 151 You can add one internal IDE drive and up to three external SCSI hard disks to your QMS 1060 Print System. These hard disks serve as secondary storage places for such items as downloaded fonts, emulations, and spooled data.

  • Page 257: Object

    A resource is a location where downloaded objects such as fonts, macros, and patterns are stored. The printer has one default resource, and one additional resource for each attached disk. All downloaded objects are stored in file systems which reside on these resources.
  • Page 258 These objects reside on the current resource, and are deleted if they are in RAM when the power is turned off or via an explicit delete. » Note: The Printer Reset command (<ESC>E) and the Printer Job Language command (<ESC>%-12345X) don’t delete permanent objects.

  • Page 259: Font Index Numbers

    PCL jobs. In addition to its ID, a downloaded font also has a unique index num- ber which is automatically assigned by the printer when the font is downloaded. This index number may change if new resources are added, but in practice it usually remains fixed.
  • Page 260 Do not confuse the font index number with the PCL font ID, a mecha- nism used to identify downloaded fonts in the PCL language using the <ESC>(#X command. There is no way to specify fonts by their font index numbers from within the PCL language. Only the default PCL font is affected.
  • Page 261 Syntax %%IncludeFeature:install( resource id object id ) Purpose Establishes the current resource and the default object ID value for the current job to which it is attached. If it is attached to a job that downloads a font without setting the current object ID using the PCL escape sequence <ESC>(#X, it has the appearance of “storing”...
  • Page 262 Notes Notes All downloaded objects are by default temporary and will be deleted at the end of a job unless Administration/ Emulations/PCL5/Retain Temporary is set to On or On Compatibility. If the file the %%IncludeFeature:install command is attached to does not make its downloaded fonts permanent or Administration/Emulations/PCL5/ Retain Temporary is not set, then those objects are removed from the disk when the job completes.

  • Page 268 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.
  • Page 269 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.
