Crown Multitasking

The QMS 4525 features the QMS Crown multitasking printer operat- ing system. The following sections describe this architecture and the advanced features it provides.

Most printers are single-task oriented: they must finish printing one page in a document before they can begin processing the next page or an entirely new print job. QMS Crown architecture, on the other hand, employs a multitasking scheme that allows the printer to accept and process subsequent pages or new print jobs while the printer is printing another page or document.

A typical printer converts transmitted print data into a raster image, one page at a time, using the appropriate printer language. This ras- ter image is stored in the printer's memory as a bitmap image until the printer controller sends the bitmapped image to the print engine for printing. Due to memory restrictions, a limited number of bitmap images may be stored in RAM simultaneously. A page must be printed, and memory released, before the printer can begin to raster- ize a new page. The result is relatively slow print performance while the host waits for the printer to accept new print data.
