QMS 4060 Print System Operation 9-24
3 After the updated system software has been written to hard
disk the printer initializes to activate the new system soft-
ware.
After you have formatted the disk and loaded the system software, the
printer should return to its normal operating state. If you had special
configurations or passwords on the printer, you need to reconfigure
these. With new software the printer returns to all of the factory set-
tings within the menu.
If you get the same disk failure messages again, even after reformat-
ting and reloading system software, you need to call QMS service.
See appendix A, “QMS Customer Support”, for information on con-
tacting QMS for service.
Testing PC Printer
Communication
To test communication between your printer and your PC, first create
a short file that ejects a page from the printer. Then send the file to
the printer.
Creating the Test File
To create the test file, type the following commands at a DOS prompt:
copy con printest.ps
↵
showpage
↵
^D^Z
↵
(All commands above except the DOS copy command are case sen-
sitive and must be typed exactly as shown.) showpage is a Post-
Script command that prints a blank page. The
↵
symbol means to
press the Enter key. To produce the ^D and ^Z, press and hold down
the Ctrl key while you type the appropriate letters (d and z). These
characters signify the end of the file and must always be included.
