Introduction
This chapter provides information on printing your files.
Printing Your Files
The QMS 4525 printer is designed to serve a number of users in net-
work environments. With ESP and SIO, the printer can be directly
connected via serial, parallel, AppleTalk, and optional network inter-
faces, serving multiple hosts simultaneously.
If you are connected to the printer over a network, see your system

explain how the printer is configured for your network.
QMS Document Option Commands (DOC)
If you are on a network, you can still use all your printer features when

of any other user on the network) without affecting the printer configu-
ration for other jobs. This feature is the set of QMS Document Option
Commands (DOC). See chapter 2, the "QMS Document Option Com-
mands" section, for a list of printer-supported DOC commands.
With DOC, you can prepend special commands to the beginning of
your files that cause the printer to perform specific file processing or
document handling options. For instance, you can use DOC com-
mands to specify a language or emulation, select a specific input bin
or paper size, select duplex mode or simplex (single-sided) printing,
and select page orientation. The features you select using DOC com-
mands are in effect only for the printing of that file. After the file prints,
