Configuring the QMS 3825/ 3225/2025 Print System This manual guides you through the process of configuring the printer options to meet your unique printing requirements. As with any network printer, one setting for any particular printer option may not meet the needs of every user. As you are configuring the printer, try to pick the setting that meets the needs of most of the users. Methods of Configuration There are five major ways to configure your printer for your needs -- some appropriate for users and some only for system administrators . Users configure options one job at a time using these methods: s s s An application PS Executive Series Utilities QMS Document Option Commands System administrators configure the printer to meet the needs of an entire department through these methods: Introduction 1-5 Methods of Configuration s s The printer control panel A remote console, for network users only Configuration for Individual Jobs Using an Application Using an application is the best way for individual users to get the results they want from the departmental printer. This helps prevent confusion in network environments and saves unnecessary changes at the printer control panel. Your application documentation explains how to control printer settings: probably by choosing options from a printing menu. Applications use printer drivers to send the appropriate commands to the printer. If your application doesn't have a QMS 3825/3225/2025 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 access to all of your printer's features. For best results, use the driver that accompanied your new printer. 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 help for details on using the software. Using QMS Document Option Commands The QMS 3825/3225/2025 Print System provides a powerful feature that can accommodate your requests (and the requests of any other user on the network) without affecting the printer configuration for other print jobs. This feature is the set of QMS Document Option Commands or QMS DOC. With QMS DOC, you can add commands to the beginning of your files that, when interpreted by the printer, turn on specific file processing or document handling features available on the printer. Use QMS DOC to specify an emulation, select a specific input bin or paper size, 1-6 QMS 3825/3225/2025 System Administrators Guide Methods of Configuration select duplex (double-sided) or simplex (single-sided) printing, select page orientation and backgrounds, use number-up and booklet printing, and more. The features you select and the QMS DOC you use at the beginning of your file take effect only for the current print job. After your file prints, the QMS DOC commands added to the beginning of the next file take effect for it. If no QMS DOC appears on the next file, the printer's default values resume. QMS DOC is the key to making the QMS 3825/3225/2025 Print System a true departmental printer. The QMS Crown Document Option Commands manual, included with your printer, gives complete information on using the commands. Appendix C in your user's guide, "Document Option Commands," lists all the QMS DOC your printer supports, plus instructions for using new and revised commands. Using Other Printer Commands PostScript operators and HP-GL and HP PCL commands can enable job-specific features your application or page description language can't access. See the PostScript Language Reference Manual (Adobe Systems, Inc., Reading, MA: Addison-Wesley, 1990, ISBN 0-201-18127-4) and the PCL 5 Printer Language Technical Reference Manual (Hewlett-Packard part number 5961-0509) for further information. Configuration for Departmental Use Using the Control Panel QMS printers are 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. In a shared printing environment, only the system administrator should make changes though the printer's control panel. Using a Remote Console Most of the configuration choices that can be made at the control panel can also be made through a remote console in many network Introduction 1-7 Before You Begin environments. To avoid confusion in a shared printing environment, only the system administrator should make configuration changes. Before You Begin Before you start configuring the printer, you should have the following: s A security disk. This disk allows you to set passwords for the printer set-up menus, and to set the message window language (English, French, German, or Spanish). A status page. The status page lists the current default settings for many of the printer options. Factory defaults are listed in appendix D, "Factory Default Settings," of the user's guide, but a status page shows current settings and serves as a reference so you can always reset your printer to its most recent settings. s Printing a Status Page There are two types of status page, standard and advanced. The standard status page includes the following items on one page: s s s s s s s Printer identification (the printer's name, release information, number of sheets printed) Printer settings (printer set-up options for paper handling) Current memory configuration (printer memory settings) Timeouts (printer timeout settings) Communications settings and input buffer sizes (settings for printer-host communication, including spooling memory sizes) Hard disk status (list of installed hard disks currently on line) Angle bracket, one-half inch from the bottom-left corner of the page, for use in image alignment. 1-8 QMS 3825/3225/2025 System Administrators Guide The Configuration Menus The advanced status page prints multiple pages with the current menu configuration settings and font information in addition to the standard status page information. To select which type of status page to print, see "Status Page Type" in the Special Pages submenu in chapter 6. After setting which type of status page to print, press the Status Page key to print a status page. The Configuration Menus The Configuration menu is divided into three main menus: Installation, Operator Control, and Administration. s The Installation menu, which appears only when the security disk is inserted in the printer's disk drive, is used to establish passwords for the Operator Control and Administration menus, and to set the message window language. The Operator Control menu controls the default settings of most printer features. The Administration menu is the largest of the three menus. It controls the default settings of printer-host communications, emulations, and other document-processing features. s s Menus are arranged in a hierarchy as shown on the next page. To access the configuration menu: s s Press the Online/Offline key to take the printer off line. Press the Menu key to access the menu. The top line of the message window displays the current menu level, and the second line displays the first available option. Move down one level by pressing the Select key. The Next and Previous keys change the displayed option in the message window for the current menu level. The options in each level are arranged in a loop, so repeatedly pressing either the Next or Previous key returns you to the option starting point.

The first choice in the set of baud rate values displays on the bottom line. This value is also the current default setting: BAUD RATE *9600 10 Press the Next key until the value you want (for example, 2400) displays: BAUD RATE 2400 11 Press the Select key. The message window displays a confirmation message for three seconds: 2400 IS SELECTED 12 Then, the message window displays the option's name: SERIAL BAUD RATE You have now changed the baud rate to 2400. The change does not 1-12 QMS 3825/3225/2025 System Administrators Guide Changing Default Configuration Settings take effect until you save the changes and place the printer back on line. Review "Saving Printer Configuration Changes" later in this chapter. Alphanumeric Values When an option requires a value, you enter the value one digit or character at a time. You use the Next and Previous keys to increase or decrease the displayed character or digit value. Spaces can also be used when a value, such as a password, must be an exact number of characters. The Copies option in the Operator Control menu is an example of an option that requires a value. The following instructions show how to change a value: 1 2 Press the Online/Offline key to take the printer off line. Press the Menu key. The following message displays in the message window: CONFIGURATION OPERATOR CONTROL 3 Press the Select key to open the Operator Control menu. OPERATOR CONTROL now displays on the first line of the message window: OPERATOR CONTROL COPIES 4 Press the Select key again to display the current value: COPIES 001 5 Notice that the first digit is flashing. (The default copy count is 1.) You may select any number of copies up to 999. For this example, we are setting the copy count to 159.

Press the Next key until the second digit changes to 5. Press the Select key. COPIES 151 8 The third digit is now flashing. Press the Previous key until the last digit changes to 9. COPIES 159 9 Press the Select key. The message window momentarily confirms the change you have made: 159 COPIES IS SELECTED Then the message window displays the option's name again. You have now changed the copy count to 159 copies per print job. The change does not take effect until you save the change and place the printer back on line. Review the next section, "Saving Printer Configuration Changes." Saving Printer Configuration Changes Whenever you change a printer menu option, the printer prompts you to save the change before you place the printer back on line. Saving a menu change means that the new value of the option is recorded and stored in the printer's memory. Once stored in memory, the value takes effect automatically whenever the printer is turned on. Follow these steps to save your configuration changes: 1-14 QMS 3825/3225/2025 System Administrators Guide Upgrading Print System Software 1 Press the Online/Offline key. The following message displays in the message window: SAVE CHANGES? NO 2 If you want to save all the configuration changes you have made, press the Next key (the message window displays YES on the second line), and then press the Select key. Your changes take effect when you press the Online/Offline key again. If you do not want to save your changes, just press the Select key to select NO. Press the Online/Offline key again. 3 If you ever save a menu change that you did not want to save, you can always go back into the configuration menu and change it back to the previous setting. There is also an option for resetting all menu options to their factory default settings (see "Restore Defaults" in chapter 8, "Engine, Miscellaneous, and Disk Operations."). » Note: Some Administration menu changes do not take effect until the printer is restarted. Some changes cause the printer to reboot automatically. Others cause the message REBOOT NOW? *YES » Note: to appear in the message window. Press the Select key to reboot the printer, or the Next and Select keys to choose NO and postpone your configuration changes until the printer is restarted.

The factory default value is 1. The maximum is 999. Changing this option at the printer control panel effects all print jobs. Most applications can print multiple copies. If you use your application's multiple-copy feature, keep the printer's Copies option set to 1. 3-2 QMS 3825/3225/2025 System Administrators Guide Duplex Duplex The Duplex option allows you to print on both sides of paper, if the Advanced Paper Handling option (duplexer, large-capacity input tray, and system table) has been installed. Duplex choices are On and Off. The default value is Off. Setting Duplex to On at the printer makes all jobs print duplex. If you want to print individual jobs duplex, leave the printer setting at Off and choose duplex through your application. » Note: If you are printing letterhead in duplex mode, the letterhead paper must be loaded face down in the input bins. Tumble Duplex The Tumble Duplex option allows you to specify this advanced duplexing option. To use Tumble Duplex, the Advanced Paper Handling option must be installed, and both the Duplex and Tumble Duplex options must be On. Choices for Tumble Duplex are On and Off with a default value of Off. The following illustration shows the difference between duplex and tumble duplex, using three-holepunched paper as an example. Side 1 Side 2 Side 1 Side 2 Portrait Landscape Duplex Side 1 Side 2 Side 1 Side 2 Portrait Landscape Tumble Duplex Operator Control Menu 3-3 Collation Collation The Collation option allows you to choose whether to print all copies of a single page before any copies of the next page or whether to print one copy of every page before starting the next entire copy.

Portrait 3-4 QMS 3825/3225/2025 System Administrators Guide Landscape Inputbin Inputbin The Inputbin option has a selection of choices for the printer's default paper source. The choices are Upper, Lower, and LCIT (if the Advanced Paper Handling option is installed). Choose LCIT to use the large-capacity input tray on the 3825, 3225, or 2025 Print Systems or the large-large-capacity input tray on the 3825 or 3225. The default is Upper. These illustrations show where the input bins are located: Upper Upper Lower Lower LargeCapacity Large-LargeCapacity Sheet size may be specified by the QMS DOC %%IncludeFeature:input command or, if the printer is on a DECnet network, by the VMS SHEET_SIZE parameter. See QMS Crown Document Option Commands or VMS Interface for QMS Printers for more information. Outputbin The Outputbin option allows you to choose the printer's default output stacker. The default is Upper and the choices for Outputbin are Operator Control Menu 3-5 Outputbin s s Upper Lower (The side, face-up bin, displays as an option only when folded out for use.) s Side s LCOS (On the 3825 only, if the optional Large-Capacity Output Stacker is installed) s* (The printer stacks paper in any available face-down bin -- upper, lower, or LCOS, if installed). The illustration below shows the output bins. On the control panel printer icon, the output bins are labeled 1, 2 , and 3 with 1 being the Upper bin, 2 being the Lower bin, and 3 being the Side bin. The optional Large Capacity Output Stacker is not shown on the icon. Upper Upper Lower Side (folds out) Side (folds out) Lower LCOS (Optional) Use the Side output bin for small jobs or when using special print media that may have difficulty passing through to the main output bins. Since output is stacked face up in the Side bin, duplex jobs are not stacked in numerical order and have to be hand sorted. 3-6 QMS 3825/3225/2025 System Administrators Guide Chain Inputbins Chain Inputbins The Chain Inputbins option specifies whether the printer switches to another input bin containing the same size paper when one input bin is empty. The default value for Chain Inputbin is On. Crown Accounting Crown accounting, a tool to help you keep track of the use of printer resources, is available on your QMS Print System, with or without a network connection. Paper use is the most commonly monitored resource. However, Crown accounting also allows you to monitor s s s s s s s » paper use per user time consumed serving each user's jobs connectivity options frequency of jams times of peak use number, complexity, and average size of jobs per user commonly used features, such as duplexing or finishing Note: If you are connected to a network via TCP/IP, you have a choice of using Crown accounting or the standard TCP/IP accounting through your UNIX host software. See the TCP/IP Protocol Option Users Guide for more information on TCP/IP accounting. As jobs are printed on the QMS printer, the system collects information about different job parameters in relation to the jobs. When each Operator Control Menu 3-7 Crown Accounting job completes, the printer stores an entry for the job in the Job Accounting file(s). Caution: Do not turn the printer off while the disk is being accessed. Doing so may cause inconsistencies in the information stored. Accounting Menu The Accounting menu includes five submenus, allowing you to enable or disable job accounting, allocate disk space when accounting is enabled, reset accounting, store job accounting information in a single job file or in multiple files, and copy the accounting information to a floppy disk. Job accounting information may be stored in a single file if it can be retrieved via FTP on your host. Otherwise, the selected job accounting file should be spread into several files so that each of the files (or segments) fits on a floppy disk. Operator Control/Accounting Menu Accounting Mode Disk Space Resetaccounting Job File Segment Copy to Floppy Accounting Mode The Accounting Mode option enables or disables job accounting. Choices are Enabled or Disabled with a default of Enabled. When you disable accounting, any files containing data remain untouched. However, empty files are removed to save disk space. Disk Space The Disk Space option allocates disk space for job accounting files. The range of values is 51200 (50 KB) to 10240 (10 MB) with a default value of 01024 KB (1 MB). 3-8 QMS 3825/3225/2025 System Administrators Guide
