Help with QMS PS-810

I purchased a QMS model PS-810 printer a while back and the guy I bought it from
was supposed to include the manual but he didn't - such is the peril of buying
equipment over the net ;-(

Anyhow, I have a couple of questions for anybody who may know:

1.  The printer has a HPLJ emulation mode that can be selected via a switch on
the back of the machine.  This is a rather inconvenient way to switch modes
though, it would be much preferred if there was an escape sequence or something I
could send the printer in "batch" mode to pop it into HPLJ emulation and then
another sequence to put it back to postscript - any ideas?  Also, which HPLJ does
this thing emulate anyhow, a II or an II+ or an III or ????

2.  Apparently this printer came with a couple of utility diskettes when it was
new, and QMS wants something like $150 for those diskettes and the manuals for
the software on them - does anybody know what these utils do?  Are they worth
having, or more specifically are they worth spending that much $$ on?
