QMS 4525 DEPARTMENTAL PRINT SYSTEM RATED LOWEST COST OF OWNERSHIP IN ITS
CLASS IN IDC REPORT

JULY 17, 1995 - Mobile, AL - QMS Inc. (NYSE:AQM). International Data
Corporation (IDC) in an industry report just published has rated the QMS
4525 Print System as having the lowest cost of ownership for a high volume
print system. The QMS 4525 finished ahead of all other print systems in
its 30 - 45 page per minute (ppm) class when measured in high volume print
applications at maximum duty cycle.

The QMS 4525 Print System is a high performance, high volume 45 ppm
multi-network capable print system. Based on QMS' Crown architecture, the
4525 Print System combines high performance, extensive networking
capabilities, upgradability and advanced document handling features to
service the needs of large workgroups and enterprises. The QMS 4525 Print
System's advanced paper-handling capabilities include stapling, mail bin
sorting, duplexing, n-up printing, and booklet printing with a 650,000
page monthly duty cycle.

"The purchase price of a print system is only the first component in the
overall cost of owning the system. The true cost of the system must be
measured in terms of the cost of consumable items, rated lifetime, actual
duty cycle, and maintenance costs. This all adds up to the total cost of
ownership," noted Frank Wendt, QMS senior product manager. "QMS takes all
of these factors into consideration in designing every print system with
the objective of delivering to our users the best overall cost versus
performance. The IDC study attests to the importance of this overall cost
of ownership, and we're very pleased with the standing of our 4525 print
system, a proven solution for high volume or print-on-demand
applications." QMS 4525 Print System

The 4525 32MB system utilizes a MIPS R3000 RISC processor operating at 33
MHz for fast, overall document throughput. With its 2,200 sheet input
capacity and up to 4,000 sheet output capacity, the QMS 4525 is ideally
suited for users with high volume printing applications. The QMS 4525
Print System can be easily connected to a wide variety of computer
networks to offer transparent print services to a broad range of users and
applications.

The QMS 4525 provides fast image printing capabilities with the QMS
ImageServer(TM) option. The QMS ImageServer option provides high speed
image printing and eliminates the need for a dedicated imaging PC or print
server. An ImageServer enabled QMS 4525 Print System provides superior
print output performance in document imaging applications that require
fast, image-on-demand capabilities in client/server environments. QMS
ImageServer file format support includes printer resident TIFF and CALS
emulations, PostScript Level 2/CCITT Group 3 and Group 4 capabilities, QMS
CCITT Group 3 and Group 4 emulations, ASCII, and PCL 5.

QMS print systems are based on QMS Crown technology which enables these
systems to serve many users and applications, reducing the number of print
devices needed in an enterprise and significantly broadening output
capabilities. Crown provides common features across all QMS print systems,
including advanced multitask-based processing, mixed computing and network
support, and sophisticated document handling and print features. Each
Crown print system incorporates QMS Software Loadable System (SLS)
technology for easy and cost-effective addition of system upgrades and
enhancements.

QMS CrownNet(TM) provides comprehensive network connectivity through high
performance, RISC-based network interface adapters, and simultaneously
serves multiple users under different network protocols in mixed platform
computing environments. CrownAdmin(TM) network printer management software
allows users to remotely configure, manage and monitor multiple network
printers with a simple, graphical user-interface-based application.
