Media Sizes and Imageable Areas Your printer supports paper, envelopes, transparencies, and labels in a number of sizes. Each size has a certain imageable area, the maximum area a printer can access, which is limited by the physical media size, the margins required by the printer, and the amount of memory available for the full-page frame buffer. » Note: The media size must match the cassette size. Since the cassette sends a size signal to the printer controller, using the wrong size media will cause your image to be positioned incorrectly on the page or clipped. You may purchase additional cassettes from your QMS vendor. 2-2 QMS 1060 Print System Reference Media Sizes and Imageable Areas The following table lists the size, imageable area, feed edge (the edge of the media drawn in the printer), and input source (tray or cassette from which media is accepted) for all supported media.

You can align the image in several different ways: 16 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 2-3 Print Media Media Types and Weights n Use the PostScript translate and scale operators to reduce image size and change its placement on the page. Setting Page Margins Margins are set through your application. Some applications allow you to set custom page sizes and margins while others allow only standard page sizes and margins. 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 exactly those sizes given for the imageable area. Media Types and Weights Paper Type The printer supports plain paper, recycled paper, letterhead/memo, thick paper, and postcard. Use only paper recommended for laser printers, such as Hammermill Laser Print. » Note: We do not recommend printing on perforated or 3-hole punched paper.

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. Typeface A named design of a set of printed characters, such as Times, that has a specified obliqueness (degree of slant) and stroke weight (thickness of stroke). It does not define a particular size. Typeface Family A group of similar typefaces. For example, the Times typeface family consists of four typefaces: Times Roman, Times Bold, Times Italic, and Times Bold Italic. Font A set of characters of the same typeface (such as Times), style (such as italic), stroke weight (such as bold), and point size (such as 10). Although you hear the term "font" used more generally, as if referring to a typeface, it's really a subset of a typeface. Character Set A collection of symbols designed for various printing applications. Many character sets are composed of the letters (uppercase and lowercase A-Z), digits (0-9), and any symbol (such as blank space, dollar sign, and ampersand). Other character sets are composed entirely of symbols. QMS 1060 Print System Reference 3-2 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. Times Roman Sans Serif Sans serif ("sans" is French for "without") indicates a typeface without any of these small tails. A sans serif typeface is decorative by the shape and styling of its letters but has less detail than a serif typeface. Helvetica, Helvetica Condensed, Helvetica Narrow, and ITC Avant Garde Gothic are all sans serif typefaces. In the example shown above, 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 Script Script typefaces simulate handwriting or brush lettering. Each letter is connected visually, if not physically. ITC Zapf Chancery is a script typeface. Zapf Chancery Professional Printing 3-3 About Typefaces and Fonts Pi or Symbol 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. µ 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. Proportional Spacing The term "proportionally spaced" refers to a typeface in which the width of each character varies. For example, the letter "i" is thinner than the letter "m" and therefore takes up less space. Proportional spacing saves page space and is easier on the eye. This manual's text uses the Helvetica font, a proportionally spaced typeface. Because proportionally spaced typefaces place each character according to its individual size, they increase legibility and readability. This example shows the difference between a monospaced typeface (Courier) and a typeface (Times). alphabet alphabet 3-4 QMS 1060 Print System Reference 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. A point is a unit of measure equal to 1/72". Therefore, the larger the point size, the larger the letter. The following example shows characters in 8, 10, 12, 24, and 36 point sizes: AB C DE Pitch Pitch refers to the number of characters per horizontal inch (cpi) in a monospaced typeface. Therefore, the larger the pitch, the smaller the letter. For example, a ten-pitch typeface mathematic prints ten characters per inch (or 10 cpi) while a twelve-pitch typeface prints 0 1 twelve characters per inch (or 12 cpi). mathematical The example shows ten-pitch and twelve0 1 pitch Courier. Professional Printing 3-5 About Typefaces and Fonts Stroke Weight Pa lat ino Pa lat ino 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. Times Roman Times Italic 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. ITC Avant Garde Roman ITC Avant Garde Oblique Orientation Orientation is the direction of the print or image on a page. Portrait orientation reads from left to right, across the narrower dimension of the page. Landscape orientation also reads from left to right but places the print across the wider dimension of the page. Spreadsheet and table applications commonly use landscape printing. Both terms 3-6 QMS 1060 Print System Reference Resident Fonts, Typefaces, and Symbol Sets derive from painting; a portrait is usually a vertical view while a landscape is usually a horizontal view.

L Professional Printing 3-11 4 Printer Configuration In This Chapter . . . n n n Methods of printer configuration Using the printer control panel Using the printer configuration menu 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 all configuration menu options. Menu features are grouped according to task. Each feature is introduced, then a table describes the feature's location in the configuration menu, the available choices for that feature, and the factory default (the value set at the factory). Methods of Configuration You have four major ways to configure your printer to meet your printing needs. In order of priority, they are n n n n n Through an application Through PS Executive Series Utilities Through printer commands Through the printer control panel Through remote console, for TCP/IP Telnet, NetWare, EtherTalk, and LAN Manager/LAN Server Using an Application Using your application is the best way to control your printer since most printing is done on a per-job basis. This helps prevent confusion in network environments and saves you from making changes at the printer control panel. Your application documentation explains how to control your printer settings: probably by choosing options from a printing menu. 4-2 QMS 1060 Print System Reference Methods of Configuration Applications use printer drivers to send the appropriate commands automatically to the printer for the requested tasks. If your application doesn't have a QMS 1060 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 or collating. For best results, use the driver that accompanied your new printer. See Chapter 3, "Connecting to a Macintosh," or Chapter 4, "Connecting to a PC," of the Getting Started guide, for detailed instructions about using a printer driver. Using PS Executive Series Utilities You can also use the PS Executive Series Utilities (shipped with your printer) to control the printer from your host. See the README file on the utilities disk for information on installing the utilities, and see the utilities on-line documentation for details on using the software. Using Printer Commands Printer commands (such as QMS Document Option Commands [DOCs], PostScript operators, and HP-GL and HP PCL commands) can enable job-specific features your application or page description language can't access. See appendix C, "Document Option Commands," of this manual for a list of the DOCs this printer supports. See the QMS Crown Document Option Commands manual (available for purchase from your QMS vendor) for more detailed information on these commands. See appendix E, "Manual Updates," of this manual for updated PCL 5 DOC information. Printer Configuration 4-3 Configuration Menu Using the Control Panel Your printer is configured at the factory for the most typical printing environments, so most users don't have to use the control panel often. However, if you do need to change a printer setting for all print jobs (not just on a per-job basis), you can do so through the control panel. If you are working in a shared printing environment, your system administrator should be the only person to make changes through the printer's control panel. Using Remote Console Many of the configuration choices that can be made at the control panel can be made through a remote console in a TCP/IP Telnet, NetWare, EtherTalk, or LAN Manager/LAN Server environment. 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. The rest of this chapter explains the configuration menu. Configuration Menu The printer's configuration menu allows you to change the default printer configuration settings. In other words, any changes you make affect all subsequent print jobs. The options in the configuration menu are organized under three main menus: 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). 4-4 QMS 1060 Print System Reference Configuration Menu n Installation Menu Use this menu to establish passwords for the Operator Control and Administration menus. This menu displays only when an optional security card is installed. n Operator Control Menu Use this menu to maintain document processing options (number of copies, media type, and paper orientation). These capabilities are usually handled most efficiently within specific print jobs since each job has its own requirements. However, if there is no way of specifying these options within a job, you may do so from the control panel. Accessing the Configuration Menu To access the configuration menu, make sure the printer is idle (IDLE displays in the message window), then press the Online/Offline key to take the printer off line (the Ready indicator is not lighted), and finally press the Menu key. Example The following table shows how to use the control panel menu keys to access the printer configuration menu. Press the control panel keys in the order shown. The printer responds by displaying a status message or configuration menu in the control panel message window.
