QMS 1725E Print System Getting Started 1-12
Software Loadable System (SLS)
Your printer has a software loadable system, which allows you to
replace or upgrade its system software from a host computer.
User Benefit—Future enhancements to the system software can be
easily installed as they become available from QMS.
» Note: The software loadable system mentioned in this section does not
modify the code used by QMS CrownNet Interface cards.
Remote Console
The Ethernet network interface and its accompanying software allow
your printer to establish a Remote Console connection via EtherTalk,
LAN Manager/LAN Server, Novell NetWare, and TCP/IP. Printer sta-
tus that requires user intervention is displayed on the remote console.
For example, a status message may indicate that paper is low, the
output bin is full, or a media jam has occurred. The QMS
CrownNet
Interface System Administrator’s Manual
has information on begin-
ning a Remote Console session, and the QMS
Crown Remote Con-
sole User’s Guide
explains how to use a Remote Console to control
and configure the printer. A copy of each manual is shipped with your
printer.
User Benefit—The ability to control your printer from a remote con-
sole as well as from the printer’s own control panel means you don’t
have to leave your workstation every time the printer needs attention.
Moreover, you’ll know right away if the printer is tied up with a media
jam or other simple problem requiring user intervention.
PCMCIA Card Slot
There are two slots on the front of the printer under the lower paper
cassette. These slots support font and security cards (see the follow-
ing section, “Printer Options,” for details).
User Benefit—The PCMCIA slot gives your printer a flexible inter-
face for added features and future expansion.
