Multitasking

Using its Crown multitasking capability, the QMS 4525 performs these activities simultaneously rather than sequentially. This is accom- plished using advanced memory management techniques such as simultaneous interfacing, input buffering, job spooling, compile-ahead technology, compressed data formats, error recovery, user-config- urable memory clients, context switching, and spooling overflow.

Multitasking and advanced memory management increase the pro- ductive use of resources by minimizing idle time. More time is spent processing jobs rather than waiting for jobs to print.

Compile-Ahead Technology

Pioneered by QMS, compile-ahead technology significantly reduces processing time by increasing controller throughput, more fully utilizes the resources of the printer, offloads print processing tasks from the host CPU, and speeds up the network by quickly transferring jobs from the host into input buffers for processing at the earliest possible time. This technology also provides the capability for advanced paper handling features, such as multipage job collation, automatic error recovery, and input/output bin selection on a page-by-page basis.

QMS compile-ahead technology is a considerable improvement over the traditional rasterization process used by most other printers. The traditional rasterization process involves the transformation of text and graphics into a bitmap image that is then printed. Rasterization is necessary because applications use page description languages such as PostScript to describe the text and graphics that make up each page. The printer translates these instructions into a format it can understand before printing a page. This is usually a very time- consuming process.
