WPD Files for QMS PostScript Printers

 This disk contains WPD files for most QMS PostScript printers. These files 
will allow you to add a particular QMS printer to the list of supported 
printers in any Windows PostScript driver based on the original Microsoft
driver which supported the addition of printers through WPD files. The
following drivers provide this support:

  Microsoft V3.3
  Microsoft V3.4
  Microsoft V3.5
  Aldus V3.4a
  QMS V1.0
  QMS V1.1
  QMS V1.2
  QMS V1.3
  QMS V1.4
  QMS V2.1X

NOTE: 
  The QMS PostScript driver for Windows 3.x already supports all QMS 
  printers. It is available from the QMS Bulletin Board at (205) 633-3632  
  or in the QMS section of the DTPVEN forum on Compuserve. Unless you have 
  a particular reason for keeping your current driver and adding printers, 
  it is probably better to just use the QMS driver.

  The format of the WPD file was modified a bit for Windows 3.1. Therefore,
  this disk contains WPD files for Windows 3.0 and 3.1.


To add printers using WPD files follow these steps:

1) In Windows, at the Program Manager dialog box, double click on the Control
   Panel icon.

2) In the Control Panel dialog box, double click on the Printers icon.

3) Click on your PostScript driver entry in the Installed Printers list and 
   then click on Configure (for Windows 3.1 click on Setup and proceed to
   Step #5).

4) In the Configure dialog box, click on Setup.

5) In the Setup dialog box, click on Add Printer.

6) You will be prompted to insert a disk into drive A. If you are using drive
   A, insert the disk containing the WPD files into that drive. If you are 
   using another drive, type in the appropriate drive name and insert the disk 
   there. Add the path name "\WPDS\QMS" and "\WIN30" or "\WIN31".
   (ex. b:\wpds\qms\win31). Click on OK.

7) Click on the desired QMS printer and Click on Add to install the printer. 
   
   You may add up to 5 external printers to most drivers. See the Removing 
   External Printers section of this document if you need to remove a printer 
   to make room for others.

   Excluding the QMS driver, most PostScript drivers for Windows 3.x do not 
   provide support for all the fonts resident in some QMS printers. Check the
   section "Installing Softfonts" to see if this applies to the printer you
   have added.

8) Click on Done.

9) Select the QMS printer you just added in the Printer list and set the 
   desired paper source and size. QMS printers added with WPD files have
   "<<<" appended to the printer name.

10) Click on OK through all subsequent screens to exit. Close the Control 
    Panel dialog box and exit Windows to insure that your changes take effect.


The QMS printer has been added to the list of printers supported by your 
driver as an external printer.



Installing Softfonts
--------------------

 A printer font metrics file (PFM file) is included on the diskettes for each
of the fonts resident in QMS printers that is not normally supported by other
printer drivers.

Follow these steps to install the PFM files:

1) Copy all PFM files to your windows directory

    For QMS-PS 410, QMS-PS 815, QMS-PS 825, QMS-PS 1700, QMS-PS 2000 
        or QMS-PS 3200:
        COPY A:\WPDS\QMS\PFM\AG\*.PFM C:\WINDOWS

    For QMS ColorScript 210, or QMS ColorScript 230:
        COPY A:\WPDS\QMS\PFM\65\*.PFM C:\WINDOWS

2) Make a backup copy of the WIN.INI file in your windows directory.
   Edit the WIN.INI file with an ASCII text editor.

3) Search for the [fonts] entry containing a list of printer fonts with
   the following format.

[fonts]
fontname=PFM file name
fontname=PFM file name
fontname=PFM file name
fontname=PFM file name

4) Add the following entries for additional fonts.

    For QMS-PS 410, QMS-PS 815, QMS-PS 825, QMS-PS 1700, QMS-PS 2000 
        or QMS-PS 3200:

        [fonts]
        AGaramond-Regular=GDRG____
        AGaramond-Italic=GDI_____
        AGaramond-Semibold=GDSB____
        AGaramond-SemiboldItalic=GDSBI___
        AGaramond-Bold=GDB_____
        AGaramond-BoldItalic=GDBI____

    For QMS ColorScript 210, or QMS ColorScript 230:
        [fonts]
        Aachen-Bold=acb_____
        BrushScript=bs______
        Cooper-Black=cb______

        ParkAvenue=pa______
        Revue=re______
        Stencil=st______
        UniversityRoman=ur______

5) Update each PostScript printer entry in the WIN.INI with references to the 
   additional fonts. These entries have the following format.

[PostScript,xxxx]

   xxxx can be LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, FILE, etc.

6) In each PostScript printer entry, add the softfont entries.

    For QMS-PS 410, QMS-PS 815, QMS-PS 825, QMS-PS 1700, QMS-PS 2000
        or QMS-PS 3200:

        [PostScript,LPT1]
        softfonts=6
        softfont1=C:\WINDOWS\GDRG____.PFM
        softfont2=C:\WINDOWS\GDI_____.PFM

        softfont5=C:\WINDOWS\GDB_____.PFM
        softfont6=C:\WINDOWS\GDBI____.PFM

    For QMS ColorScript 210, or QMS ColorScript 230:
        [PostScript,LPT1]
        softfonts=26
        softfont1=C:\WINDOWS\ACB_____.PFM
        softfont2=C:\WINDOWS\BS______.PFM

softfont6=C:\WINDOWS\GDSBI___.PFM
softfont7=C:\WINDOWS\GDB_____.PFM
softfont8=C:\WINDOWS\GDBI____.PFM



Removing External Printers
-----------------------------------

 Most Windows 3.x PostScript drivers only allow you to add up to 5 external 
printers with WPD files. If you have already added 5 external printers and 
need to install a different printer, you must remove a previously installed 
external printer. 
 
Follow these steps to remove an external printer:

1) Make a backup copy of the WIN.INI file in your windows directory.
   Edit the WIN.INI file with an ASCII text editor.

2) Search for a [PSCRIPT] entry containing a list of external printers with 
   the following format.

[PSCRIPT]
External Printers=5
printer1=qps2000
printer2=qps2220
printer3=qps825
printer4=qps410
printer5=qps820

3) Remove individual printers by deleting "printer?=??????" lines. Renumber 
   the "printer?=??????" entries so that they are consecutive.

4) Change the number of printers indicated in the "External Printers=?" entry.
   The value in this entry must equal the number of "printer?=?????" entries.

EXAMPLE:  Removing the qps825 printer entry.

BEFORE:

[PSCRIPT]
External Printers=5
printer1=qps2000
printer2=qps2220
printer3=qps825
printer4=qps410
printer5=qps820

AFTER:

[PSCRIPT]
External Printers=4
printer1=qps2000
printer2=qps2220
printer3=qps410
printer4=qps820


PPD Files On This Disk
----------------------

 Some printer drivers read PPD (PostScript Printer Description) files to
determine a printer's capablilities. The supplied PPD files (in the PPD40
subdirectory) are intended for those drivers. Use the instructions provided
with the driver for information about how to use these PPD files.
