QMS 1660E Print System: Enhanced Image-Area Printing
Introduction
Some QMS 1660E Print Systems now provide enhanced image-area
printing. You can
n
Print to the edges of 11x17, A3, A4, full ledger, and universal
media.
n
Print to the edges of 12x19 media (12"x19.5"/304.8x495.3 mm)
through the use of a special oversize toner cartridge. This allows
you to print full-bleed A3 (11.69"x16.54"/297x420 mm) pages with
crop marks.
To determine if your printer supports enhanced image-area printing,
check the printer start-up page (“Enhanced Image Area” will be
printed near the upper-left corner), or look at the label on the back of
the printer near the data plate (it will read 5250134-
xxx
).
O
Caution:
Due to print engine constraints, full-sheet images may be
slightly skewed on the page. In addition, QMS cannot certify the print
quality of text and graphics printed outside the guaranteed imageable
area (see the “Technical Specifications” section at the end of this
document).
The printer continues full support of the original imageable areas for
all media sizes (see appendix B, “Technical Specifications,” of the
Reference
).
Installing New Printing
Software
Before you use enhanced image-area printing, you must take a few
minutes to install a new QMS Level 2 Windows printer driver or
Macintosh printer driver. If you use certain applications—like
QuarkXPress 3.3, Aldus PageMaker, or Adobe PrintShop—you’ll also
need to install special printer description files.
