Creating a Network Job Separator
If your printer is connected to a network through a PC and the PC
is acting as a print server managing the printing of shared network
files, then your system administrator must create a job separator
and associate it with a print job queue. Different network
environments have different procedures for creating the job
separator, such as initialization sequences, custom banner pages,
print job headers, or print job trailers. The print server does not
necessarily send multiple print jobs to the printer in the order that
you queued them to the printer. The network job separator is
accessed with each print job, so this ensures that network job
separation is enforced. See QMS Crown Network Notes, an optional
manual available from your QMS vendor, for more information on
how to create a network job separator for several commonly used
networks.
PS Protocol
Your QMS 860 Print System supports a new protocol for
communication between the printer and a host computer over a
serial, parallel, or optional interface connection. This new protocol
is called PS protocol. This binary communications protocol allows
any 8-bit binary value (0-255) to be treated as data, while allowing
a few of the values to function as special control characters. When
communicating 8-bit binary data in binary or binary fixed mode,
the printer uses the quoting mechanism of the binary
communications protocol (BCP) to distinguish between the special
control characters and print job binary data.
