This documentation contains a description of The LJ4 Utility, a complete
reference of all valid commands and values, notes on the registration
process and a legal disclaimer. Please make sure you read this.

Description
─────────────
THE LJ4 UTILITY allows you to quickly change the settings of the
LaserJet 4 family printers. Now you can change for example your
printer's papersize, the default typeface or economode settings just by
typing LJ4 and the corresponding command at the DOS prompt. This
minimizes the time needed for changing your printer's settings because
you don't have to start the Hewlett-Packard remote control panel or walk
to your printer to do so.
All you need to use THE LJ4 UTILITY is a PC and a Hewlett-Packard
LaserJet 4 family printer connected to it. There are no further hardware
and software requirements.
──────────────
Installation
──────────────
There is no installation procedure as such, just copy LJ4.EXE and
the appropriate documentation into any directory on your hard disk
which is in the search path. You way want to copy it to your EXPLORER
or DOS directory.
───────────────────────
Using The LJ4 Utility
───────────────────────
Using LJ4 is quite easy. If you want to change a setting, just pass the
command and the value to change on to LJ4. The complete syntax is as
follows:
LJ4 Command Value [Port]
Command is a a valid command, which must have at least three letters.
Value is a legal value for the specified command.
Port specifies the port your printer is connected to. Valid options
are LPT1, LPT2 or LPT3 with LPT1 being the default.
This parameter is optional and you don't have to use it if
your printer is connected to LPT1.
To get an overview on all valid commands and values enter LJ4 -? at
the DOS command prompt.
Here's a complete list of all valid commands with their legal values.
Please note that the letters in brackets are optional and you don't
have to enter them. Also, you don't have to enter the commands and
values in capitals.

Notes On The Registration Process
───────────────────────────────────
We're releasing THE LJ4 UTILITY as Shareware. This means that you may
use it for two weeks, but after that period you must either register or
delete it. When you register, you will receive your Personal Registration
Code which allows you to turn your Shareware version to a registered
version of THE LJ4 UTILITY that does not contain the randomly appearing
registration reminder.
Once you are a registered TASsoft customer you will NEVER see this
registration reminder again! Because with your PRC you can unlock not
only this version but ALL future versions of THE LJ4 UTILITY.
The registration fee is US$ 10 if you send cash or US$ 13 if you prefer
sending a cheque (this is to cover the cashing fee).
Please make sure that if you send a cheque you make it payable to either
one of us but NOT to TASsoft.
To register, print out the file LJ4.REG, fill it out, put it together
with the US$ 10 or the cheque into an envelope and send it back to us
at one of these addresses:
1) TASsoft 2) TASsoft
c/o c/o

Germany Germany
As soon as your order reaches us, we will mail you your PRC (Personal
Registration Code).
If you have an E-mail address, we can also send it to you via E-mail.
Caution: Don't use an execompressor like PKLite on The LJ4 Utility,
because you won't be able to turn the Shareware Version into
the registered version afterwards.
Even if you don't want to register your copy of LJ4, we would really
like to hear your comments on THE LJ4 UTILITY!
If you find a bug or have any comments, questions or problems, you can
contact us at the following Internet E-mail addresses:
