QMS 860, User Manual, Page: 81 / 398

Introduction
Now that you have your QMS 860 Print System set up (chapter 2),
connected to a host computer, and ready to print (chapter 3), you
need to learn more about how to control the printer and the printing
process. This chapter describes the printer’s menu structure, which
you access through the printer’s control panel. The Control Panel
Guide that came with the printer also contains this information, in
summary form. However, you should read this chapter to make
using the Control Panel Guide easier and to become familiar with
your printer’s capabilities.
Control Panel
The control panel keys allow you to configure the printer through
menu selections that control printer operations. The control panel
LED (light emitting diode) indicators and LCD (liquid crystal
display) message window provide information about the printer
and about the status of print jobs. The first part of this chapter
identifies each control panel part and describes its function. You
should read this section to learn how to use the keys and how to
interpret messages and indicators.
Menu Structure
The second part of this chapter describes the menu structure and
lists the default for each option. A default is a preset value for the
most common printing environment.
This chapter provides basic printer configuration information about
all menu options because most users do not have to use the printer’s
Configuration menu often. The QMS Crown Technical Reference
