QMS PS-810

I have several questions about the QMS PS-810 laser printer.

1) When I print to the 810 from a Mac, I can (via Page Setup...) select
   (bitmap) smoothing. However, the bitmap is not smoothed. When I print
   the same file on an Apple LaserWriter Plus, the file is smoothed. Doesn't
   the 810 do smoothing; are LaserWriters the only PostScript printers
   that do smoothing? How do I get the 810 to do smoothing?

2) I would like to connect an Apollo workstation to the 810 via the DB-25
   connector at the same time that the 810 is connected to LocalTalk. The
   810 has a thumbwheel switch that must be set to "3" for LocalTalk and
   to some other number for the RS-232 port. Is changing the switch position
   sufficient to disconnect the printer from LocalTalk and connect it to
   RS-232 or must I also remove the LocalTalk cable from the printer?
   Conversely, must I remove the RS-232 cable from the DB-25 port when
   I switch to LocalTalk.

3) I would like to get a telephone number that could get me in touch
   with Technical Support at QMS.
