              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
        FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993 AND JANUARY 1, 1993
________________________________________________________________________________

1.   MANAGEMENT OPINION

     In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial
     statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
     financial position of the Company as of December 31, 1993 and October 1,
     1993 and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for the three
     months ended December 31, 1993 and January 1, 1993.  The results of
     operations for the three months ended December 31, 1993 are not
     necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year
     ending September 30, 1994.

2.   EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

     The computation of earnings (loss) per common share is based on the
     weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
     Shares issuable upon exercise of stock options have been excluded in the
     per share computation because there was a loss for the quarter.

3.   INVENTORIES

     Inventories at December 31, 1993 and October 1, 1993 are summarized as
     follows (in thousands):


                                 DECEMBER 31,      October 1,
                                    1993              1993

                                 ===========       ==========

4.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     At October 1, 1993, the Company had a commitment of approximately 
     $31,000,000 under contracts to purchase print engines. As of December 31,
     1993 the Company had a commitment of approximately $17,000,000 to
     purchase print engines under these contracts.

     The Company was contingently liable for approximately $1,319,000 as of
     December 31, 1993.  This was principally the result of letters of credit
     issued in the normal course of business for the purchase of inventory.

                        PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
               ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

________________________________________________________________________________
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1994 (the three months ended December
31, 1993) were $70,654,000, down 8.5% from the $77,273,000 achieved in the
first quarter of fiscal 1993 (the three months ended January 1,1993).  In the
United States, the net sales generated through resellers was $6 million and 33%
less in the quarterly year-to-year comparison.  The reseller channel is the
Company's primary method of distribution in the United States for 4-page per
minute and 8-page per minute monochrome laser printers and color thermal
transfer printers.  New competition in this product class was the primary cause
for the lower revenue.  Sales through QMS Europe BV, a wholly owned subsidiary
with headquarters in The Netherlands, had $3 million less in net sales in the
same comparison, approximately 14% less.  QMS Europe markets the entire line of
QMS non-impact printers.  Poor economic conditions in Germany and Great Britain
along with new competitive pressures were the principal causes of the
shortfall.   Net sales were up significantly, $3.4 million and 182%, in QMS
Japan Inc., the Company's wholly owned Japanese subsidiary.  These increases
were primarily attributable to new products made available during the quarter
which support the special Japanese language requirements.

Gross profit dollars were down in the first quarter of fiscal 1994 by $2.1
million when compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1993, substantially all of
which was due to the revenue shortfall.  The gross profit as a percentage of
sales was 33.7% in the fiscal 1994 first quarter compared to 33.6% in the first
quarter of fiscal 1993.

Operating expenses were 2.6% lower in the first quarter of fiscal 1994 compared
to the first quarter of fiscal 1993.  Compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal
1993, operating expenses were 15% lower in the first quarter of fiscal 1994.
The Company implemented cost reduction measures in the fourth quarter of fiscal
1993 that resulted in a one-time charge to operating expenses of approximately
$3 million and included a reduction in the labor force of about 200 people.
The Company intends to continue to closely monitor and manage the expense
structure.

The other income (expense) was impacted by foreign exchange translation.  The
negative impacts came from the translation of  balance sheet elements that were
denominated in foreign currencies, primarily European currencies.  Interest
expense was greater in the first quarter of fiscal 1994 due to greater
borrowings on the Company's revolving credit agreement.

The Company's effective tax rate was 31% in the first quarter of fiscal 1994
compared to 33% in the first quarter of fiscal 1993.  The effective tax rate
for the full fiscal year 1993 was 31%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the first quarter of fiscal 1994 the Company's financing came
principally from operations, credit line borrowings and capital leases.  The
Company's net working capital was $76.5 million at December 31,1993, down from
$78.4 million at October 1,1993.  The current ratio was 2.62 at the end of the
first fiscal quarter, down from 2.82 at the end of the 1993 fiscal year.  The
Company was not in compliance with certain of its revolving credit agreement
covenants at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 1994, and has received a
waiver of the non-compliance.  Despite losses in four of the last six quarters,
the Company has been able to maintain balance sheet strength.

Management believes that the Company's continuing working capital and capital
expenditure needs will be met by cash flow from operations and by the secured
revolving credit agreement.  However, unless the Company is able to restore
profitability, further waivers from its bank lenders may be necessary to
continue to borrow under the Company's revolving credit agreement.  Although
management believes the Company's relationship with its lenders is good, future
waivers from the lenders, if necessary, will depend on the Company's
performance.
