After the accounting files are stored on your host, you can create your
own filters (programs) based on your specific requirements using the
file and record descriptions shown earlier in this chapter.

An interface is the point at which two elements connect so they can
work together. A printer-host interface is the way a printer connects to
and works with a host (a microcomputer, workstation, minicomputer,
mainframe computer, or network), and it involves both hardware and
software. The way your printer interfaces with a host depends on
many things, including computer type, computer ports available, inter-
face cabling, application software, printer emulations, and printer driv-
ers.

Simultaneous Interface Operation (SIO), a standard feature of QMS
Crown architecture, enables your QMS 2060 Print System to
communicate simultaneously with hosts through the parallel, optional
serial, Ethernet, and optional interface ports. In other words, SIO
allows you to have more than one host communicating with the printer
at one time.

Emulation Sensing Processor (ESP) technology is another standard
feature of QMS Crown architecture. ESP technology, which works
with most popular commercially available applications, uses a form of
artificial intelligence to analyze incoming file data and select the
appropriate printer emulation (for example, PostScript emulation,
