Printer Configuration

Emulations

Use the Administration/Emulations menu to set the parameters for
the available printer emulations. Optional printing emulations appear
only if installed.

»

Note: To choose an emulation or ESP for a particular interface, use the

appropriate interface menu in the Administration/Communications menu.

Setting an ESP Default Emulation

The emulation sensing processor (ESP) feature of the QMS 1725
SLS Print System analyzes incoming print jobs and identifies which
emulation the printer will use. The ESP Default Emul sets the ESP
default emulation used when ESP is unable to identify the language
of a print job. This allows the system administrator to select alternate
default emulations.

Setting PostScript Parameters

This menu allows you to select a PostScript emulation level. This is
useful if you have files prepared in an application which is not fully
compatible with Adobe’s PostScript Level 2 page description lan-
guage.
