Virtual Memory Support

Your printer supports virtual memory capabilities for all of the memory clients except Disk Cache and Frame Buffer when disk swapping is enabled (Administration/Memory/Enable Disk Swap menu). These capabilities extend the amount of memory available for certain supported features, such as spooling and collation.

End Job Mode

When sending print jobs through the serial and parallel protocols, some applications and their printer drivers append an end-of-document command (EOD) to each print job to ensure that each file prints correctly. The reason for this is that some protocols and print queuing systems send print jobs to the printer as one continuous data stream (one print job immediately following another).

But the problem with this system is that some applications are limited by the printer language and are unable to produce an EOD com- mand. This becomes even more problematic when you’re printing to a QMS 4060 Print System, where print jobs of all supported emulations can be received simultaneously. ESP technology examines the first part of each print job to determine its emulation. Once the emulation is identified, the print job processes without further checking. This minimizes any slowdown resulting from the sensing process. To help ESP technology determine the proper emulation of successive print jobs, the printer must be able to identify the end of job for each job.
