The QMS 3825/3225/2025 Print System offers a unique combination
of high-performance processing, network/host connectivity options,
innovative network features, and paper handling features. Your
printer can interface with any IBM PC or compatible and any Macin-
tosh, plus most mainframes and minicomputers.
This overview outlines your printer’s major features and their benefits.
Specific chapters contain more information on each feature. Consult
the index or table of contents for guidance in locating this information.
QMS Crown is a proprietary multitasking printer operating system,
which allows QMS to adapt advanced printer software to the evolving
printing needs of users in many different environments.
Crown’s multitasking capability allows your printer to process and print
jobs simultaneously instead of sequentially, by using advanced mem-
ory management techniques, such as simultaneous interfacing, emula-
tion sensing processing, input buffers, job spooling, compile-ahead
processing, compressed data formats, error recovery, user-config-
urable memory clients, context switching, and spooling spillover.
■ Simultaneous Interface Operation (SIO)—Although many other
printers have multiple interface ports and automatically designate
a “hot port,” only one port actively receives data at a time. Your
printer is unique because SIO allows all of its interface ports—
LocalTalk, parallel, serial, and an optional network interface—to
be active at the same time. You can have more than one host
computer printing to the printer. Each interface has an input buffer
that receives data while another interface is being used to print.
■ Emulation Sensing Processor (ESP) Technology—Most print-
ers can recognize only their native command language. Your
QMS printer, however, has ESP (Emulation Sensing Processor)
technology. Using a form of artificial intelligence, ESP technology
analyzes incoming file data from any of the printer’s interfaces.
ESP technology, which works with most popular commercially

available applications, selects the appropriate emulation from
those installed on the printer and processes the print job, freeing
you from the need to change printer switch settings or send soft-
ware commands to accommodate different printer languages.
■ Input Buffers—The printer has expandable input buffers, which
enable it to receive large amounts of print data over any or all of
its interfaces. This not only increases the printer’s performance,
but it also relieves the central processing unit (CPU) of time-con-
suming print data transmission tasks.
■ Compile-Ahead Processing—Pioneered by QMS, compile-
ahead technology allows the compiling, rasterizing, and printing to
work independently but simultaneously. This significantly reduces
processing time by increasing printer controller throughput.
■ Compressed Data Formats—Crown printers convert data
received by the input buffers into intermediate, compressed
blocks until the data is needed for printing. These compressed
blocks of data are designed to be processed rapidly by the
printer, and many more can be stored in memory at one time than
can traditional bitmapped images.
■ Automatic Jam Recovery—Crown technology also provides
automatic jam recovery. With most printers, if a media jam
occurs, you must remove the jammed media and then reprint the
job. On a Crown printer, if a media jam occurs, once you clear the
jam, the printer reprints the jammed page and continues with the
print job. This is possible because compressed data formats
allow more pages to be stored in memory. The printer remembers
the last page printed, pulls the necessary intermediate blocks
from memory, and automatically reprints any lost pages.
■ User-Configurable Memory Clients— Printer memory is
divided among memory “clients.” You can configure the size of
most memory clients to meet your specific printing, computing,
and network needs best.
■ Context Switching—This feature allows Crown printers to pre-
serve the “state” of a language or emulation — including down-
loaded fonts, forms, logos, macros, overlays, and other data —
when you switch from one printer language or emulation to
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
another. Other printers require repeated downloading of these
capabilities each time they are needed, consuming valuable
input, processing, and printing time.
■ Spooling Overflow—Spooled print jobs can transparently spill
over to the hard disk, so buffers are not limited to RAM capacity.
The QMS 3825/3225/2025 Print System provides PostScript Level 1
and Level 2 page description capabilities via QMS-developed emula-
tions that are compatible with Adobe’s PostScript Level 1 and Level 2
languages while providing additional capabilities. PostScript controls
the appearance of text, geometric shapes, and images at the printer.
It can rotate, scale, clip, and orient graphic objects on all or part of a
page. The printer produces solid blacks and crisp fonts regardless of
the point size.
The PostScript Level 2 emulation supports the capabilities of the sec-
ond generation of Adobe’s PostScript software. Level 2 consolidates
extensions to the PostScript language and provides new features and
functionality that expand the language’s capabilities and improve
overall performance. PostScript Level 2 features include device-inde-
pendent color, improved memory and resource management, built-in
data compression/decompression filters to speed up transmission
times and save disk space, optimized graphics and text operators,
and patterns and forms support, including pattern and form caching.
Although your printer’s primary emulation is PostScript, it also sup-
ports HP PCL 5, HP-GL, CCITT, imPRESS, LN03 Plus, and Line-
printer. The optional QUIC II emulation can also be supported.

families. All resident PostScript typeface families have multilingual
character sets.
The fonts in all of these typeface families can be scaled from 4 points
upward, rotated to any angle in 1° increments, pattern filled, half-
toned, shaded, shadowed, and cropped, depending on your applica-
tion software. The following PostScript typefaces are resident on your

The 3825 Print System offers a choice of print modes — dark, normal
and light — which gives you an additional level of control over output
for graphics, CAD, or everyday use.
Your QMS printer provides job accounting, which can be used to
extract information such as paper utilization per user, time consumed
servicing print jobs per user, usage of different emulations, connectiv-
ity options, frequency of jams, times of peak use, features and
options most commonly used (such as duplexing or finishing options),
and number, complexity, and size of jobs per user. The accounting
feature does not prepare a list but provides the information you need
to assess printer use. The accounting is performed by the printer
rather than a host, and the extracted information can be uploaded to
any host by copying it to a floppy disk or by using the FTP get com-
mand (if your host supports this command). This information is useful
for billing, report generation, and site resource planning. For further
information see the “Accounting” section in chapter 3, “Operator Con-
trol Menu,” in your system administrator’s guide.
Your QMS Print System comes with enough RAM to handle most
printing tasks.
3825 The 3825 Print System comes with 32 MB of resident RAM,
the maximum the printer can use and enough to handle virtu-
ally any printing task promptly.
3225/2025
The 3225 and 2025 Print Systems come with 16 MB of
resident RAM, which can be upgraded to 32 MB if you need
more room for font downloading, font caching (temporary
storage space in RAM), spooling, or enlarging the printer’s
buffers (the area where data sent from the computer is tem-
porarily stored).
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Your printer comes standard with an internal hard disk of at least 170
MB, upgradable to 2.2 GB, and an internal 1.44 MB floppy disk drive.
You have the option of adding up to 6 external SCSI hard disks up to
2.2 GB in size to store downloaded fonts and emulations.
Specifications are included in Q-FAX document 6502, “QMS-tested
SIMMs and Hard Disks.” This document contains a description of
each approved hard disk, its manufacturers and part numbers, and
the QMS products on which it can be used. See appendix A, “QMS
Customer Support,” to find out how to access Q-FAX documents.
Using the control panel, you can set your printer to switch to lower
power usage during periods of inactivity. You can tailor the power
saver to your needs by setting the interval before it takes effect.
Use the control panel to configure your printer. The printer also uses
the control panel to communicate with you by providing messages
about its status, including any conditions that require your attention.
These messages can be displayed in a user-selectable language
(English, French, German, or Spanish). See “The Control Panel” sec-
tion in Chapter 2, “Daily Operation,” in this manual for complete infor-
mation on using the control panel.
Using a RISC-based processor,
3825 the QMS 3825 Print System can deliver print speeds up to 38
pages per minute.
3225 the QMS 3225 Print System can deliver print speeds up to 32
pages per minute.
2025 the QMS 2025 Print system can deliver print speeds up to 20
pages per minute.

Your printer can use paper of almost any size from A5R (5.8" x 8.27";
148 x 210 mm) to Ledger (11" x 17"; 239 x 432 mm). It has two stan-
dard paper input bins that accommodate 250 sheets each. Optional
input and output bins increase the media capacity to 1,500 or 3,000
sheets, as well as giving you duplexing capabilities.
Provided in both PC and Macintosh versions, the QMS PS Executive
Series Utilities software is an easy-to-use tool for configuring the
printer. For example, you can set or change communication protocol
between your printer and host computer, download fonts, change
printer emulations, print screens from your monitor while the printer is
in PostScript-only mode, configure the font cache, change input and
output bins, reconfigure printer buffers and hard disks, and change
the name of the printer. The QMS PS Executive Series Utilities also
provide an easy means for printing PostScript files. The on-line help
contains installation and operation instructions and further explains
the program’s functions.
The QMS 3825/3225/2025 Print System offers many options to
expand its capabilities.
The Advanced Paper Handling Option includes a duplex printing
module, a large-capacity input bin which accommodates 1,500
sheets of paper, and a printer supplies storage cabinet.
This optional tray is an input bin holding up to 2,500 sheets of
print media in sizes up to Ledger.

The optional stacker holds up to 2,750 sheets of 20 lb
2
2
(75 g/m ) paper or 2,400 sheets of 24 lb (90 g/m ) paper in Letter
or A4 size. Paper is stacked faced down.
A larger internal hard disk and up to 6 external hard disks can be
added to your system for permanent downloadable font and emu-
lation storage and for increased job spooling capability. The sys-
tem supports disks up to 2.2 GB in capacity.
The QMS 3225 and 2025 Print Systems come with 16 MB of
RAM, which can be upgraded to 32 MB to allow your printer to
grow with your needs. Additional RAM can provide room for font
downloading and font caching. Additional RAM also provides bet-
ter printing performance and expands your printing capabilities,
allowing you to send large, graphics-intensive files without tying
up the host computer for long periods.
In addition to the three standard interfaces—parallel, serial, and
LocalTalk— the QMS 3825/3225/2025 Print System supports a
variety of network options.
■ A CrownNet interface allows you to connect simultaneously
to
✓ an Ethernet network running AppleTalk, LAN Manager/
LAN Server, NetWare, and/or TCP/IP protocols, or
✓ a Token-Ring network running LAN Manager/LAN Server,
NetWare, and/or TCP/IPprotocols
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
■ Basic network interfaces, designed for printers operating in
only one network protocol at a time, include
✓ a standard Ethernet option which supports both DECnet
and TCP/IP, or AppleTalk, or NetWare
✓ a standard Token-Ring option which supports TCP/IP or
NetWare
✓ a standard IBM 3270A/5250 protocol
When you use an optional network interface and its accompany-
ing software, you also have the ability to establish a remote con-
sole connection. Printer status messages appear on the remote
console as well as the printer’s control panel, so you don’t have to
leave your workstation every time the printer needs attention.
Moreover, you’ll know right away if the printer is tied up with a jam
or other simple problem requiring your attention.
Instructions for using a remote console are included in the QMS
Crown Remote Console User’s Guide, along with instructions for
setting up a remote console session in TCP/IP and DECnet envi-
ronments. Instructions for opening a remote console session in
all other protocols are included in the QMS CrownNet Interface
Card System Administrator’s Guide. A copy of the appropriate
manual is shipped with each optional network interface.
A Kanji upgrade kit, which gives your printer the capability of
printing Japanese fonts, is available for your QMS printer. Other
downloadable fonts for PostScript and HP emulations are also
available. Contact your QMS vendor for a list of all available

This chapter explains daily printer operation. It contains information
about printing on paper, labels, and transparencies; selecting and
storing media; using the control panel; adding paper to the input bins;
duplexing; collating; changing resolution; and selecting page
orientation.
The printer’s power switch is located on the right rear panel. Make
sure the power cord is properly connected to the printer and to a
grounded outlet before turning on the power switch.
The power indicator on the control panel lights when the printer is on.
Unless it’s disabled, a start-up page prints after the printer performs
its initial self-tests. The start-up page lists the printer’s name, all avail-
able interfaces, and other useful information.

The QMS 3825/3225/2025 Print System is designed to serve more
than one person. With its ESP and SIO features, your printer can
directly serve three hosts (via the standard serial, parallel, and Apple-
Talk interfaces).
In most installations, the printer will be connected to a network of
users through an optional network interface. If you are connected to
the printer over a network, see your system administrator for specific
printing instructions, because many features on your QMS printer
may be customized to the needs of your particular network.
Even with a network connection, you can easily customize your print
jobs. Without ever touching the printer’s control panel, you can get
just what you need through your application software or through QMS
Document Option Commands.
If you are using an application to print your files, check for a QMS
3825/3225/2025 printer driver. If your printer model is supported, your
application may have its own method of selecting certain document-
handling features, such as page orientation, duplex or simplex print-
ing, and number of copies. If these specific drivers are not available,
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 the printer’s features.
Even if you are unable to customize print settings through your appli-
cation, you can still use the printer features in your own way. For
example, you may want to print a FrameMaker PostScript file in
duplex mode on letter-size paper, just after a co-worker has printed a
landscape mode job in PCL 5 emulation on ledger paper. QMS Docu-
ment Option Commands, or QMS DOC, can accommodate your
requests without affecting the printer configuration for other users.
With QMS DOC, you can add special commands to the beginning of

your files that instruct the printer to use specific features. Use QMS
DOC to select an emulation, an input bin or paper size, duplex, orien-
tation, and more. The features you select take effect only for the print-
ing of your file. After it prints, the QMS DOC added to the beginning of
the next file takes effect. If no QMS DOC is present for the next file,
the printer returns to its default values. QMS DOC is the key to mak-
ing your QMS printer a true departmental printer. Your network sys-
tem administrator may be able to establish a special print queue for
you that adds the QMS DOC you want to the beginning of every file.
The QMS Crown Document Option Commands documentation,
included with the printer, gives complete information on how to use
the commands.
The control panel on your QMS printer offers a convenient way to
direct the printer’s operation. It also displays the current status of the
printer, including any condition that needs your attention.
The control panel consists of the following parts:
■ Six indicators to provide printer status information.
■ A message window to display status and configuration
information.
■ Eight keys to allow you to control the printer.

The Power light indicates whether the printer’s
power is turned on.
The arrow-shaped light to the left of the Online/
Offline key indicates whether the printer is on
line. When the printer is on line the green light
shows; when it is off line, the light is out.
The Receiving light shows when the printer is
receiving data.
The Error light shows when the printer requires
operator intervention. This indicator is usually
accompanied by a status message in the
message window.
The Duplex light shows when the printer is
processing a double-sided print job. Duplexing is
only possible if the printer has the optional
duplexing unit installed.
The printer icon offers several kinds of
information. Lights indicate

The control panel message window is the printer’s chief means of
communicating with the operator. In 2 lines of 16 characters each, the
printer sends messages about its status and about errors encoun-
tered while printing a job.
When you change printer configuration options, the message window
is your guide through the printer’s menu structure. During configura-
tion, the top line of the message window typically displays the name
of the menu you are in while the second line displays options within
that menu one at a time.
The eight control panel keys are your chief means of communicating
directly with the printer. Keys are used to switch the printer from on
line to off line status, to cancel and end jobs, to print a status page,
and to navigate through the configuration menus.
The Online/Offline key switches the printer
between on-line and off-line status. When the
printer is on line, the green arrow to the left of the
key is on.
The Cancel key deletes the current job, the one
that is currently printing, from the print queue.
The cancellation process affects only the portion
of the current job that has not yet been
processed for printing, so the printer may not
respond immediately to the cancel request.
If you press the Cancel key by mistake, or if you
decide not to cancel a job after pressing this key,
press the Menu key to “cancel” the Cancel key’s
function.
This key may be used while the printer is on line.

The End Job key sends an end-of-job indicator to
a currently compiling job that does not contain
one.
This key may be used while the printer is on line.
Pressing the Status Page key causes the printer
to print a status page. Using menu choices
described in Chapter 6, “Special Pages and
Startup Options Submenus,” of your system
administrator’s guide, you can tell the printer
whether to print a single page of information or
more detailed information on multiple pages.
This key may be used while the printer is on line.
Press the Menu key to enter the configuration
menu. After you press the Menu key, the
message window displays the following:

OPERATOR CONTROL
The Menu key also has a cancel or abort
function. If you are changing a menu option and
want to cancel that change, press the Menu key
once. Any change you may have made to the
option is immediately canceled, and the
message window displays the name of the option
you were attempting to change. If you are in a
submenu and want to return to the previous
level, press the Menu key once. Each press of
the Menu key moves up one level in the menu
structure or moves one character or digit back if
you are entering alphanumeric values.
Press the Previous key to display the previous
option in the loop of options for the current level.
You also use the Previous key to move backward
through character choices when setting values
for some options.

Press the Next key to display the next option in
the loop of options for the current level. You also
use the Next key to advance through the
character choices when setting values for some
options.
Press the Select key to move down one level in
the menu structure. The top line of the message
window always displays the current menu level.
You also use the Select key when entering
alphanumeric characters. After using the Next
and Previous keys to change individual
characters, you press the Select key to verify that
character and move to the next. When the entire
value is set, you press the Select key to enter the
new setting.
The quality of your print job depends in large part on the quality of the
paper and storage method you select.

The printer accommodates 18 to 24 pound (68 to 90 g/m ) paper.
You may achieve increased blacks and sharper contrast by using
special laser printer paper. This paper is thicker, smoother, and whiter
than copier paper and gives your page a more professional appear-
ance. Conventional copier paper is suitable for most applications.
Copier paper has a smooth surface, controlled electrical properties,
and heat stability. This ensures satisfactory image transfer without
excessive curl.
You may also use special paper for specific applications. Bond
papers, which are often used for stationery, generally have a water-
mark and often use cotton rather than wood fiber. However, textured
paper may cause uneven results. Colored paper may also be used,
but not paper with a colored coating applied after the paper is made.

You can print transparencies for overhead projectors and sheets of
self-adhesive labels with your QMS printer. However, these special
materials require some special handling:
■ Turn off the duplex unit before printing labels or transparencies.
■ Always use the upper input bin and the side media exit. This
maintains a straight printing path, which helps assure high quality
output.
Use only transparencies recommended for use in laser printers. They
should be able to withstand temperatures up to 200° Fahrenheit.
Remove each transparency from the side media exit immediately
after printing to prevent jams of subsequent sheets.
Adhesive label stock is paper treated with pressure-sensitive adhe-
sive backing. Use only label stock specifically designed for laser print-
ing. The procedure for feeding labels is almost the same as for
regular paper except that you must use the side media exit and load
the paper cassette print side up.
Format label data within your application. Try printing your data on a
plain sheet of paper first to check its placement.
The manner in which you store media makes a big difference in print
quality and printer operation. Media that is not properly stored is more
likely to jam. Keep all media in good condition by storing it
■ In its wrapper
■ On a flat surface
■ In a closed cabinet
■ In a cool dry area

Letter
Input bins for letter and ledger or A3 and A4 sizes are standard. Each
standard input bin has a special metal tab that the printer uses to
sense the media size loaded in the bin. If you modify one of the stan-
dard input bins, you must also replace this tab. The optional large-
large capacity input bin can also be modified to accept different paper
sizes. See the instructions for changing an input bin’s media size later
in this chapter.
When you use a media size selection command, the printer searches
the input bins for the matching media size. When it finds a match, it
uses media from that bin to print your file. If you know the printer has
been loaded with a certain media, you can use the media size selec-
tion commands to select the input bin containing that media even if
you do not know the input bin number. (See the QMS Crown Docu-
ment Option Commands manual for complete information about
using DOC in your files.)

Your printer has two standard input bins and two optional input bins:
■ Upper input bin
■ Lower input bin
■ Large-capacity input bin (optional)
■ Large-large-capacity input bin (optional — 3825/3225 only)
The illustration below shows the locations of these bins. The input
bins support several types and sizes of media. The optional large-
capacity bin expands the printer’s paper capacity to approximately
1,500 sheets of letter or A4 size paper (500 sheets for the upper and
lower bins, and 1,000 sheets for the large-capacity bin).The optional
large-large-capacity bin increases the printer’s capacity to approxi-
mately 3,000 sheets of paper up to ledger size (500 sheets for the
upper and lower bins and 2,500 for the large-large capacity bin).
The indicators on the control panel printer icon light to show the cur-
rently selected input bin. The system administrator can use the fol-
lowing procedure to select a default input bin through the control
panel.The printer uses paper from the default input bin if your file
does not specify a different paper size or input bin.

Your QMS printer gives you a choice of print resolution. That is, you
can choose whether your files are printed with 300 x 300 dots per
inch (dpi) or at a higher resolution:
3825 600x600 dpi
3225 400x400 dpi
2025 400x400 dpi
The lower resolution prints more quickly and uses less toner. It is suit-
able for many routine office needs, such as interoffice memos and
draft copies of documents. For camera-ready copy or presentation
documents, however, you will probably want the sharpest, clearest

Your printer has the capability to do number-up, or “n-up,” printing
using QMS Document Option Commands. Number-up printing allows
you to print a high volume of pages on less paper at a fraction of the
time. For example, you may choose 2-up (two pages printed on one
side of a page and printed in half the time) or 4-up (four pages printed
on one side of a page and printed in one quarter of the time). Refer to
the QMS Crown Document Option Commands manual for complete
information on how to do number-up printing.

The Large-Large-Capacity Input Tray (LLCIT) for your QMS 3825/
3225 Print System allows you to load 2,500 sheets of paper at a time,
in letter, legal, ledger, A3, A4, and B4 sizes.
The LLCIT must be installed by a QMS-authorized service represen-
tative. See appendix A, “QMS Customer Support” if you do not know
how to reach your service contact.
Because the LLCIT holds a heavy load, it has a metal prop plate at
the back corner for added support. The prop plate helps prevent the
printer from tipping, even when the LLCIT is fully loaded. If you need
to move the printer, you must
■ Remove the paper from the LLCIT
■ Remove the prop plate to avoid damage to the printer or the floor
To remove the prop plate, simply remove the two screws holding it in
place. The prop plate slips off easily. Reinstall the prop plate as soon
as the printer is in its new location.
Be careful not to tip the printer while moving it.

Printing the proper side first helps prevent excessive paper curl,
which is especially important if you are using the optional Large-
Capacity Output Stacker. The paper wrapper usually has an
arrow to indicate which side to print first. Load paper so the arrow
points up.
Bow the paper slightly to insert it into the bin, and slide it in
until it is aligned with the innermost edge of the bin.

The QMS 3825/3225/2025 Print System has three standard output
bins:
■ The upper bin
■ The lower bin
■ The side bin
An optional large-capacity output stacker is available for the 3825
Print System:
The illustration below shows the locations of these bins. The upper
and lower bins have a combined capacity of 1,500 sheets (stacked
face down). The side bin can hold up to 100 sheets (stacked face up).
The upper and lower bins automatically shift the pages right or left to
separate print jobs. This “offset stacking” feature helps users find print
jobs quickly. The optional large capacity output stacker holds up to
2,750 sheets of 20-pound (75 g/m2) paper or 2,400 sheets of 24-
pound (90 g/m2) in Letter/A4 size only.

put bin by using the control panel and the Outputbin selection in the
Operator Control menu. Choose Upper for the upper output bin.
Choose Lower for the lower output bin. Choose Side for the side
(face-up) output bin. Choose * for any face-down (upper, lower, or
LCOS, if installed) output bin. Choose LCOS for the optional large-
capacity stacker, if it is installed.
The LCOS, an option for the 3825 Print System, handles only Letter/
A4 size paper. If you are using a different paper size and printing from
an application, LCOS will not be a selectable option. If you are print-
ing without using a printer driver, and you select LCOS, the printer will
automatically use a different face-down output bin.
For example, follow these steps to select the lower output bin:

Routine maintenance is required to keep your printer operating prop-
erly. This chapter includes a maintenance schedule and instructions
for all basic maintenance tasks, such as adding toner, replacing dis-
posable printer parts, and cleaning specific areas of the printer.
Depending upon the number of pages printed, your printer requires
replacement of several disposable parts and cleaning of several
areas to ensure excellent print quality.
A maintenance message appears when any of these parts needs to
be replaced or cleaned. The chart on the next page covers mainte-
nance you can perform. It defines what needs to be done when each
maintenance message appears. The second chart covers mainte-
nance which should be performed only by a QMS service representa-
tive. Following the two charts are detailed instructions for all
maintenance and cleaning you should perform. Once the mainte-
nance is complete, you must clear the message. Instructions for
clearing the maintenance message are at the end of this chapter.
Printer parts may wear more or less quickly depending on use. The
following factors influence the wear:
■ Print job complexity
■ Page size and paper orientation
■ Duplex printing

The following is a list of possible printer problems and solutions.
Many problems can be corrected as you follow the steps on this list.
1
Does the printer power light come on?
YES - Go to number 2.
NO - Check the following:
■ Is the power cord plugged into both the power outlet and the
printer?
■ Is the printer’s power switch in the ON position (|)?
■ Is the power outlet working? Plug a lamp into the outlet and
see if it turns on. If not, the outlet may be faulty.
■ Does the line voltage of the power outlet match the printer’s
power requirements? See appendix B, “Technical Specifica-
tions.”
2
Can you print a start-up page?
YES - Go to question 3.
NO - Check the following:
■ Does the currently selected input bin have paper?
■ Are all printer covers closed securely?
■ Is there a paper jam? Jams locations are indicated on the
printer icon on the control panel.
3
Is the printer receiving data from the computer?
YES - Go to question 4.
NO - Check the following:
■ Check the status of the Receiving indicator. If it blinks after
the file is sent, the printer is receiving the data.
■ Print a status page from the control panel. If you are using the
serial interface, are the baud rates (speed of data transmis-

sion) of the printer, computer, and the application the same?
See chapter 4, “Administration/Communications Submenu,”
in the system administrator’s guide.
■ If you still cannot identify the problem, contact your QMS vendor.
4
Is the printer printing codes or not printing at all when in
ESP mode (emulation sensing processor)?
YES - Check the following:
■ Reconfigure the port to the specific printer emulation of the
file you are trying to print. You can use the PS Executive
Series Utilities, the control panel, or a remote console to
change emulations.
■ If a PostScript file prints PostScript emulation statements
while in ESP mode, increase the emulation timeout with the
PS Executive Series Utility or the control panel.
■ If you continue to have problems with the ESP mode, contact
QMS Customer Technical Assurance. See appendix A, “QMS
Customer Support.”

There are several things you can do to reduce the occurrence of
media jams.
■ Your paper, labels, and overhead transparencies must meet
the guidelines set for the printer.
■ If you have problems with paper double feeding, remove it
from the input bin and fan the edges. The sheets may be
sticking together.
■ Remove the top and bottom sheets from each package of
paper. The top and bottom sheets sometimes have traces of
glue which can cause jams.
■ Print media must be stored away from moisture and humidity.
■ Many paper manufacturers place an arrow on the label to
indicate which side should be printed first. Place paper so the
guide arrow points up. If you cannot determine which way to
place paper and you have repeated jams, remove the paper
from the input bin, rotate the stack a half turn, turn the stack
over, and put it back in the bin. Printing the proper side first
can help prevent excessive curl, which is especially important
if you are using the optional Large Capacity Output Stacker.
■ If none of the above relieves repeated paper jamming, notify
your QMS vendor.

When a media jam occurs, the printer icon on the printer’s control
panel lights in the area closest to the jam. Frequent jams in any area
indicate that area should be checked, repaired, or cleaned. Repeated
jams may also signal that you are using the wrong weight media.
Media jams can occur in the following areas:

This chapter guides you through several advanced printer tasks
which may need to be performed from time to time. Included are
instructions for changing the input bin sizes, changing the paper size
for the optional large-large-capacity input tray, and attaching the
optional large-capacity output stacker.
The upper and lower bins can be adjusted to accommodate different
page sizes and page orientations, including Letter, Legal, Ledger, A3,
A4, B4, A5R, B5, and Executive. Additional upper and lower input
bins may be purchased if you frequently use several page sizes. See
your QMS vendor for more information. Use the decals included with
the bins to identify page size. A screwdriver is provided in the acces-
sory box to assist you in loosening and tightening the screws. To
change the bin size use the following instructions:
1 Loosen the three
screws securing
the side and
length guides,
and remove the
guides.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
2 Move the guides to the appropriate page size and secure
each with a screw.
3 Place the appro-
priate metal page
sensing tab
(included in the
accessory box)
in the tab holder.
Make sure the
paper size and
the size on the
page sensing tab
match. If not,
irregular printing
and paper jams
occur.
4 Stick the appro-
priate page size
decal to the side
of the input bin.

The Large-Capacity Output Stacker, which is an option for the 3825
Print System. stacks up to 2,750 sheets of 24 lb (90 g/m2) paper in
letter or A4 size.
Because changes are needed to the system table before the LCOS
can be installed, only a QMS-authorized service representative can
make the initial installation.
Once the initial installation is complete, it is easy to attach and
remove the stacker, if necessary. Remember:
■ You must change the power cord connections every time you
attach or remove the stacker.
■ You must use the stacker power switch as the main switch for the
entire print system whenever the stacker is attached.
Once the system table has been prepared to handle the LCOS, follow
these directions:

Your QMS vendor can provide consumables for your QMS Print Sys-
tem, or you can call (800) 777-7782 to order consumables in the U.S.
Various factors can affect a printer’s warranty. Two important ones are
consumables and electrostatic discharge. Read your printer warranty
carefully and then store it in a safe place.
The use of non-QMS consumables and/or accessories alone does
not affect either your warranty or any maintenance contract you may
have purchased. However, if QMS printer failure or damage is found
to be directly attributable to the use of non-QMS consumables and/or
accessories, QMS will not repair the printer free of charge. In this
case, standard time and material charges will be applied to service
your printer for that particular failure or damage. QMS recommends
that you use only QMS consumables and accessories to support your
printer. To order QMS consumables and accessories in the U.S., call
(800) 777-7782. In all other countries, check appendix A, “QMS Cus-
tomer Support,” for the QMS office closest to you.

If an anti-static wrist strap is provided in your printer option kit,
attach one end of it to your wrist and the other end to any convenient
electrical ground. The bare metal chassis of equipment, such as on
the back of a computer, is suitable if it is plugged in but turned off.
Never attach the wrist strap to any piece of equipment with an electri-
cal current present. Turn off all power switches first. Plastic, rubber,
wood, painted metal surfaces, and telephones are not acceptable
grounding points. The printer isn't an acceptable grounding point
because it must be unplugged before you perform these tasks.
If you don’t have an anti-static wrist strap, discharge your body’s
static electric charge by touching a grounded surface before you han-
dle any printer boards or components and before removing the con-
troller board cover. If you must walk around before completing your
task, discharge your body's static electric charge again before touch-
ing the printer controller board.
Handle circuit boards carefully by the edges. Incidental and conse-
quential damages caused by not discharging electrostatic buildup can
affect your printer warranty.

This section covers updated information about two document format-
ting commands and complete information about two new commands.
■ Number-up Printing, update only, affects PCL 5 use only.
■ Print Borders, a new command useful in many emulations.
■ Background, update only, affects only jobs created for a
2025 or 3225 Print System and now being printed on a 3825
Print System.
■ Print Quality, a new command which allows you to select
print intensity.
Number-up printing, enabled in QMS DOC with the %%IncludeFea-
ture:pagegrid command, has a small change in functionality, which
affects the PCL 5 emulation only.
Number-up printing allows you to save paper and speed up printing by
placing more than 1reduced-size image on a page. For instance, 4-up
printing would print 4 page images on 1 page. The PCL 5 emulation
prints reliably only in exact resolutions of 300 or 600 dpi. Because the
size is changed in number-up printing, the relative number of dots per
inch is also changed, and PCL 5 jobs may produce unexpected results.
We recommend that you print a test page using the %%IncludeFea-
ture: pagegrid command before using it for a major job.
Border — The rectangles formed after applying the physical sheet
size, orientation, margins, number of rows and columns, and the row
and column spacing (in that order) are called logical page spots.
When borders are selected, they are drawn at the logical page spot.

Logical page — The image that is produced by the emulation (also
called logical sheet). When no layout is selected, it corresponds to the
physical page (the paper size or paper type), but when a complex lay-
out is selected, it is one of the images that gets mapped to a physical
page within the borders.
Margins — The portion of the physical page around the edges of the
paper where no imaging will take place.
Page grid — The placement of logical pages as tiles on the physical
page.
Page spot — Each of the resulting rectangles after applying the fol-
lowing steps when a layout is specified:
1
2
3
4

Orient the paper size.
Obtain a smaller rectangle by carving out the margins.
Divide up the resulting rectangle according to the geometry
specified by the %%IncludeFeature:pagegrid or
%%IncludeFeature:booklet commands.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Function
Draws a border at the page spot. The width of the
border (thickness of the stroke) is given by the value
whose units are centipoints (1/7200"). The
outside of the border corresponds to the rectangle
defined by the page spot so the thickness of the
border is entirely within the page spot.
Syntax
%%IncludeFeature:border(value)
value
Variable
Range
0 to 7200 centipoints (0 to 1 inch)
0
Default
Notes
1 centipoint = 1/7200" (.0001388 inch)
0 or no value indicates that borders are not drawn.
When scaling is specified, the logical page is
guaranteed to fit inside the page spot and border,
preserving its proportions (or aspect ratio). When
scaling is not specified the logical image will most likely
be larger than the page spot, so the logical page will be
clipped to the size of the page spot. In this case, the
upper left corner of the logical page will be visible
(unless the DOC %%IncludeFeature: pageoffsets is
specified to displace the logical page with respect to the
page spot). This command is useful for separating
logical pages when the %%IncludeFeature:pagegrid
or %%IncludeFeature:booklet command is enabled.
These examples show that by altering the margin values and inner
spacing values, you can change the width, the height, and positioning
of the borders. The resulting rectangles (borders) in these examples
are

Because of improved print resolution on the QMS 3825 Print System,
jobs created for the QMS 3225 or 2025 Print Systems and now being
run on the 3825 Print System may not print as expected.
Background and foreground resolution must match to produce
expected results. If a background image, such as a watermark, was
created for a QMS 3325 Print System at its 400 dpi resolution, it will
conflict with the 600 dpi resolution on the foreground material.
The conflict can be solved in either of two ways:
■ Delete the resolution setting from the old file so it will print at
the new printer’s default resolution.
■ Specify a new resolution for the old job so that it matches the
resolution on the related foreground job.

A session is a means of grouping multiple documents, including doc-
uments created in different emulations, to form one larger document
which can be treated as a single entity by QMS Crown printers. To
avoid confusion over terminology, we’ll use these definitions when
discussing Sessions:
■ Subjob — what we would normally call a document; that is, a sin-
gle print job in any supported page description language.
■ Document — a group of smaller jobs, combined through QMS
sessions Document Option Commands, to apply global printing
attributes.
■ Session — the QMS DOC mechanism for applying global printing
attributes to multiple documents.
Despite their different printer description languages, subjobs can be
combined in a single session that maintains global features, such as
duplex mode, copy count, document layout, and collation. A session
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
also gives you the flexibility to override the major document’s global
printing attributes for one or more subjobs.
Some printer description languages support language-specific
markers which work well when the complete document is composed
of a single printer description language generated by a single
application. However, language-specific markers do not work very
well when you need to create a document from files using multiple
printer description languages. In such cases, high-level document
manipulation applications find it difficult to deal with markers without
taking into account the language and semantics of the
language-specific delimiters.
Sessions solve that difficulty by offering a language-independent
means of combining multiple subjobs.
Here are some examples of applications for which you might want to
use sessions:
■ To print “wild card” file selections on UNIX or VMS computer
systems.
■ To print the chapters of a technical manual, such as this one,
as a single document.
■ To print a series of different monthly, weekly, or yearly reports
as a batch process.
A session is invoked by the DOC %%Session command.
Language-independent delimiters included in the command allow any
data acceptable to an emulation, including 8-bit data, to be trans-
ferred to the printer without terminating documents or subjobs early
and out of context.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
The %%Session command must
■ Be placed at the beginning of the data stream of a document
to delimit the session boundaries.
■ Precede all of the data that belongs to an individual subjob.
This will ensure that the command is not saved in the actual
data stream that is passed to a language or emulation.
Some host applications add DOC commands at the beginning of a
document’s data stream before transmitting a job to the QMS Crown
printer. If you do not ensure that such features are completely dis-
abled, the processing of the %%Session command will be termi-
nated, and unexpected results may be printed.
Alternatively, if FTP is used to transmit a document to a QMS Crown
printer supporting the %%Session command, the following FTP com-
mand must be entered prior to sending a file to the printer:
cd no_doc_cmds
The default mode of the FTP protocol for the QMS Crown printer adds
network addressing information, in the form of DOC commands, to
the start of a job and this data would also terminate the session.
Since each subjob may use a different end-of-subjob argument, the
%%Session: ... command sequence must be inserted at the begin-
ning of each subjob to specify the end-of-subjob argument for that
particular subjob.
Function:
Syntax:
Notes:
Signal the start of a subjob within a session.
%%Session: mode argument terminator
The %%Session command provides two methods to
signal the end of a subjob, end by count and end by
delimiter string. Both methods may be used within one
document, but each subjob may only use one method.
Parameter:
mode argument

Purpose:
Default:
Range:
Specify the argument of the %%Session command.
none (job does not consist of subjobs)
■
0 length
Specifies the byte count for the end of subjob.
The maximum possible value is 2147483647. A
length of 0 means ignore the byte count termi-
nator. The length excludes the %%Session
command
■
■
2 delimiter string
Specifies the host-supplied delimiter string for
the subjob boundary.
4 delimiter string
Specifies the host-supplied delimiter string for
the subjob boundary. After detection of the
string, all characters up to the next occurrence
of a terminator, or up to 256 characters for the
line, are absorbed.
Notes:
■
End by Count
You can specify how many bytes are contained in the
current subjob. After the printer reads the required
number of bytes within the current document, the
printer knows that it has reached the end of the sub-
job. Any data which comes after this point, within the
same connection, is treated as the beginning of the
next subjob.
■
End by Delimiter String
You can specify a delimiter string to detect the end of a
subjob. Make sure that the specified delimiter string
does not exist in the actual content of the subjob,
however, because it will end the subjob and treat all
remaining data as a new subjob.

Parameter:
Default:

none
Range:
■
■
■
<CR> carriage return
<LF> line feed
<CR><LF> carriage return plus line feed
Notes:
One or more ASCII space characters must be used to
separate each item. Any extra characters between the
argument and the terminator are discarded.
At the start of a document data stream, the printer examines the initial
bytes of data to see if it can match the %%Session: ... string. If the
string is found, the mode and argument parameters are extracted to
determine what kind of session matching is desired. If the initial bytes
for the document do not match %%Session: ... or if there are errors
in the mode and argument parameters to the command, the printer
will act as if the command is not present in the job and default to the
use of language-specific terminators to end subjobs for the remainder
of the document.
If a valid %%Session command is encountered, the printer pro-
cesses all of the data up to the end of that subjob. Once the subjob
terminates and more data arrives from the host computer, the printer
checks again to see if the subsequent data consists of a new
%%Session command to start the next subjob. Again, if the text at
the start of the subsequent subjob does not match %% Session: ...
or if there are errors in the mode and argument parameters to the
command, the printer will act as if the command is not present in the
job and default to the use of language-specific terminators to end the
subjobs for the remainder of the document.

For the end-by-count method of signaling the end of a subjob using a
length, the byte count begins after the terminator following the
%%Session: ... sequence. For example, counting starts with %! as
the first 2 bytes in the following example:
%%Session: 0 65535
%!
%%IncludeFeature: emulation(postscript)
...
...
To group the three subjobs in the following example into a document
using the end-by-delimiter string method, the new combined data
stream may look like this:
%%Session: 5 null
%!
%%IncludeFeature: emulation (postscript)
%%EndComments

To further clarify subjob terminators, let’s look at the following exam-
ple. If you want to group the three subjobs into a document using the

The %%IncludeFeature:newlayout command is the mechanism
that allows groups of subjobs to use the same layout features. A lay-
out may be specified once for an entire document or altered for indi-
vidual subjobs using the %%IncludeFeature:newlayout command.
Collation range is a group of consecutively delivered pages to which
the same settings of collation and offset parameters apply. When col-
lation is On, the set of pages can match the collation range. But when
collation is Off, collation range and set are not the same.
If collate is on, the set is one copy of all pages in the document. If col-
late is off, the set consists of all the copies of a single page in a docu-
ment.

Function:
Used when a document has more than one subjob and you
want to control whether different subjobs have the same
format.
The %%IncludeFeature:newlayout command is used at
the beginning of subjobs to do one or both of the following:
■
Indicate to the printer that new document formatting
options, such as grids, booklets, borders, margins,
pages sizes, page offsets, and orientation, should
apply from this point on.
■
Indicate that a new collation range is to take effect
from this point on. This command is intended for use

Ignores any changes to layout or collation properties
specified at this subjob boundary via DOC. The layout and
collation properties in effect with the previous subjob remain
in effect. This command is equivalent to the absence of the
%%IncludeFeature: newlayout command altogether.

on
Any QMS DOC settings for standard commands (such as
layout, document finishing, or document formatting) which
are specified in the current subjob will replace the previous
values of these settings inherited from the previous
subjobs. All other settings inherited from the previous
subjobs in the document remain unchanged. This subjob
will be considered part of the collation range established by
the previous subjob. See the “Collation Range” definition
earlier in this section.
collate
Create a new collation range, but retain the same layout
and document formatting options that were in effect with the
prior subjob, as in the following two subjob sessions:
%!
%%IncludeFeature:numcopies(10)
...
PCL 5 Data
...
%!
%%IncludeFeature:newlayout(collate)
%%IncludeFeature:numcopies(25)
...
PostScript Data
In this example, all of subjob A prints with its attributes
(numcopies and other layout, document format, and
document finishing commands). When that job is
completed, subjob B prints 25 copies with all other attributes
unchanged).

on collate
Allows a change in both the layout properties and in the
collation properties at this subjob boundary. Any QMS DOC
settings for standard commands (such as layout, document
finishing, or document formatting) which are specified in the
current subjob will replace the previous values of these
settings inherited from the previous subjobs. All other
settings inherited from the previous subjobs in the
document remain unchanged. This setting is a combination
of the on and collate parameter values.
Notes:
%%IncludeFeature:newlayout (on collate) is always
issued at the beginning of the document for the first subjob
regardless of the actual command specified by the user.
%%IncludeFeature:newlayout (off) is assumed for
subsequent subjobs when the command is not present.
A font is a unique set of objects that has an ID and attributes (symbol
set, spacing, pitch, height, style, weight, and typeface number). A font
is accessed by specifying a desired set of attributes. The system
selects the font that most closely matches these attributes from the
available set of fonts. See the PCL 5 Printer Language Technical Ref-
erence Manual, Hewlett-Packard part number 5961-0509, for infor-
mation on what characterizes a PCL font.
There are two types of fonts — bound and unbound. A bound font
supports a single symbol set. An unbound font supports multiple, but
not all, symbol sets. With unbound fonts, the symbol sets are orga-
nized into two groups — normal and Dingbats. All downloaded fonts
are bound, and all resident fonts (except Zapf Dingbats which sup-

ports the Dingbats symbol set) support the group of normal symbol
sets.
In the QMS PCL 5 emulation, only fonts located in the current
resource may be accessed by a PCL font ID using the normal
<ESC>(#X sequence. All other fonts (resident, cartridge, or other)
including those stored on the additional resources can be accessed
only by attributes.
Also, only objects stored in the current resource may be deleted
directly by the PCL language. Thus, unless explicitly removed, exter-
nal fonts are always available to all 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. All currently available
PCL fonts (resident, cartridge, temporary, permanent, and external)
are listed with their font index numbers on the Advanced Status Page.
The font index number defines the default PCL font to be used if
selectbyid is specified as the default PCL font.. Do not confuse the
font index with the PCL font ID, a mechanism used to identify down-
loaded fonts in the PCL language using the <ESC>(#X sequence.
There is no way to specify fonts by their font index numbers from
within the PCL language. Only the default PCL font is affected.
A resource is a location where downloaded objects such as fonts,
macros, or 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.
The RAM1: resource may be used as the default, but systems with at
least one disk use the system disk instead. So, for any disk-equipped
printer, all downloaded objects except palettes, which require special
handling, are stored on disk. The default resource and one of the
additional resources can reside on the same disk, but they will be
located in different directories of that resource’s file system.

There are three types of PCL downloaded objects:
■ Temporary
Temporary objects reside on the current resource and are
deleted at the beginning and end of a job (unless Retain Tem-
porary is set to On or On Compatibility) or when the system is
reset (<ESC>E or receipt of Printer Job Language).
■ Permanent
These objects reside on the current resource and are
retained when the system is reset (<ESC>E or receipt of
Printer Job Language).
■ External
These objects reside on the additional resources.
All objects are temporary when first created. They can be made per-
manent objects through PCL commands. Both temporary and perma-
nent objects can become external objects when the current resource
is changed (for temporary objects Retain Temporary must be set to
On, True, or On Compatibility). External objects become permanent
objects when the resource in which they reside becomes the current
resource.
User-downloaded PCL objects, with the exception of palettes, are
identified by an ID when they are downloaded. The ID is usually set
by the file performing the download. If not, the system will provide a
default value (usually 0, but this can be set using the “install” DOC). If
two objects of the same type are provided with the same ID, the last
one received replaces the former. From that point on, downloaded
objects are accessible by their IDs.

%%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” the font on disk.

pattern
Range
Default
Format
Notes
0-32767
0
Integer
The object ID can be used instead of the usual PCL
command to assign an ID. This ID is overwritten by
any ID assigned from the PCL print job, if present. If
neither a DOC command nor the PCL print job
specify an ID, the default ID of 0 is used. Identifiers
must be unique. If the ID matches an ID for an
existing object, that object is deleted and replaced by
the new object. If a %%IncludeFeature:remove
command precedes a %%IncludeFeature:install
command, the install command is ignored (these
two commands are mutually exclusive).
Notes
All downloaded objects are by default temporary and will be
deleted at the end of a job unless 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 Retain Temporary is not set, then those objects
are removed from the disk when the job completes.
A downloaded font can be accessed only by its ID if the font is
stored in the current resource. Regardless of its resource, a font
can be selected by its attributes. Example A shows a pair of jobs
that will not produce the desired results (subjob 2 has only the
appearance of storing the font on disk). By contrast, examples B
and C show a pair of jobs that will produce the desired results.

-1 (wildcard)
Integer
If the object id is not specified, or if it is specified as *
or -1, all objects on the specified resource are
removed.
Notes:
Unlike the %%IncludeFeature:install command, the
%%IncludeFeature:remove command does not set any
defaults, and it is not directly related to the job to which it is
attached. This command allows you to remove external objects
from the system without having to generate a job containing both
the DOC command to set the appropriate current resource and
the PCL code to delete the desired object.
If this command is specified more than once, the last command
received is the one that will be executed. In the following
example, the remove(6 5 font) command is executed, and the
remove(6 1 macro) command is ignored:
%%IncludeFeature:remove(6 1 macro) remove(6 5 font)
Syntax
%%IncludeFeature:removeresource(resource id object id)
Purpose Identifies an external object that is to be removed from the
printer system.
Notes
This is an obsolete command that is identical to the remove
command, except that it does not allow specification of an object
type. The DOC string “removeresource(aaa bbb)” is equivalent
to “remove(aaa bbb *)”.

%%IncludeFeature:font (font name)
Purpose Specifies the default font to use.
Notes
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. The value
selectbyid indicates that the default font ID or unique font index
will be used for default font selection. Selecting a bound, bitmap
font overrides the default settings for symbol set and point size.
An unbound font uses the specified default symbol set if
possible, while a scalable font uses the default font size.

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. If a font with the specified index exists, it
is selected as the Default Font. If the specified value does not
exist, courier 12 point is substituted.

Notes
This command specifies the default symbol set. Not all symbol
sets are available with certain resident fonts. In particular, the
Desktop, PS Math, Math 8, Microsoft Pub, Pi Font, PS Text,
Ventura Intl, Ventura Math, Ventura US, and Windows symbol
sets cannot be used with the resident bitmap fonts: courier10,
courier10bold, courier10italic, courier12, courier12bold,
courier12italic, and lineprinter.
The five dingbat symbol sets (PS-Zapf-Dingbats,
Ventura-Dingbats, Zapf-Dingbats100, Zapf-Dingbats200, and
Zapf-Dingbats300) can be used with all fonts. If a mismatch
between symbol set and font occurs, the standard PCL font
selection mechanism is used to locate a font that matches the
selected symbol set. With the standard set of fonts distributed by
QMS, this matches the Times* font, but other user installed fonts
could change this result.

Character encoding tables are included with this manual as a refer-
ence. The standard PostScript fonts use a flexible encoding scheme
by which character codes select character descriptions. These tables
show the codes of each character. Some programs require you to
input character encoding information in order to use the available
fonts fully.
At the top of the table is the font name. The numbers at the far left of
the tables (\00x, \01x, \02x, etc.) are the octal characters. The values
across the top of the table are the numbers you would substitute for
“x” to access a particular character.

QMS, Inc. reserves the right to make changes to this manual and to the equipment
described herein without notice. Considerable effort has been made to ensure that this
manual is free of inaccuracies and omissions. However, QMS, Inc. makes no warranty
of any kind including, but not limited to, any implied warranties of merchantability
and fitness for a particular purpose with regard to this manual. QMS, Inc. assumes
no responsibility for, or liability for, errors contained in this manual or for incidental, special,

for other tasks.
