The following files are required for printer installation:
PRINSTAL.EXE
PRINTERS.DAT
PRINTERS.DEF
NOTE: PRINSTAL can also be run from a floppy disk. Place
the disk with the PRINSTAL files, PRINSTAL.EXE,
PRINTERS.DAT, and PRINTERS.DEF into your floppy drive.
Type A:PRINSTAL at the DOS prompt. If you run PRINSTAL
from a floppy disk, PRINSTAL will automatically prompt you for
the drive and the directory in which your application program
is located. In this way PRINSTAL will be able to locate
PRINTERS.DEF in which to store information about the
printers you install.
>>> STARTING PRINSTAL
To start PRINSTAL, type PRINSTAL from the DOS prompt.
PRINSTAL begins by checking your computer system for a color
display adaptor. If a color display adaptor is found, PRINSTAL will
start in color mode, otherwise, PRINSTAL will start in monochrome
mode.
If you have a monochrome monitor attached to a color display adaptor
you may wish to start PRINSTAL with a /m.
At the DOS prompt type: PRINSTAL /m
Press <Enter> to begin PRINSTAL in monochrome mode.
PRINSTAL then reads the master printer file PRINTERS.DAT and the
installed printer file PRINTERS.DEF (installed with your application
program).
Once PRINSTAL has found and read these two files the program is
ready for use.
>>> ADDING PRINTERS
Add printers to the Installed Printer List by selecting them from the
Master List of Printers. The printers are listed in alphabetical order.
To add printers to the Installed Printer List:
Press INSERT to display the Master Printer List.
Using any of the scrolling keys, move the selection bar
within the Master Printer List to printer you want to
install.
Press <Enter> to add the selected printer to the
Installed Printer List.
The solid arrow(s) in the right hand margin of the Master Printer List
indicate that there are more entries listed in the direction
corresponding to the arrow. As you scroll through the list, the scroll
bar will let you know your relative position in the list.
If you pressed <Insert> but don't want to add a printer, exit the
Master Printer List:
Press <Esc> to exit Master Printer List and return to
the Installed Printer List.
>>> DELETING PRINTERS
To remove a printer from the Installed Printer List:
Move the selection bar to the printer you wish to
delete. Use any of the scrolling keys.
Press the <DELETE> key.
A prompt asks you to verify your request to delete.
To confirm your request, move the selection bar to
Delete printer. To cancel your request, move the
selection bar to Return to list to cancel request and
return to Installed Printer List. Use the arrow keys or
First Letter.
>>> EDITING PRINTER DEFINITIONS
Allows you to edit the pre-defined definitions of a printer on your
Installed Printer List.
Move the selection bar to the printer in the Installed
Printer List you wish to edit.
Press the <F2> key.
PRINSTAL will display the definitions of the printer you want to edit.
The cursor is positioned in the first field, Printer Name. The <Insert>
key now toggles between overwrite and insert modes when editing in any
field. In overwrite mode, the cursor is a blinking dash under the
character. In insert mode, the cursor is a blinking square.
Move to the field definition you wish to edit. Use the
arrow and/or page scrolling keys. The return key also
moves you through the fields.
The second field, Default port, includes a "pick list" of available ports.
To display the pick list:
Press any key (except a function or scrolling key).
Move the selection bar to desired port definition. Use
the arrow keys or First Letter.
Press <Enter> to select.
Fields 5 through 34 can accept any ASCII character, even characters
not available on your keyboard. To type an extended ASCII character:
Move the cursor to the position you wish to insert the
new ASCII character.
Hold down the <Alt> key and type the ASCII decimal
value on the numeric keypad.
-OR-
Press <F3> to display a pick list of extended ASCII
characters.
To use the pick list of extended ASCII characters:
Move the selection bar to desired ASCII character. Use
any scrolling key.
Press <Enter> to select.
Repeat the above steps to add additional ASCII Characters to the field.
Note: ASCII 32 (space) is displayed as a block for ease of editing.
ASCII 0, which does not have a character representation is
displayed as a φ for ease of editing. After editing the
printer definition, press <Esc> to SAVE EDIT. Any changes
made during this edit will be lost if you say NO to
SAVE EDIT.
To save your changes once you've finished editing a printer record.
Press <Esc>.
Move the selection bar to YES to SAVE EDIT.
Press <Enter> to save your changes.
Your changes will be saved, and you will be returned to the Installed
Printer List.
If you press <Esc> by mistake and wish to continue editing the
printer record, press <Esc> again. You will be returned to the
printer record you were working on. Continue editing as desired.
>>> ERROR MESSAGES
** ERROR: PRINTERS.DAT File Not Found or Damaged
When PRINSTAL begins, it reads the main data file of printers. If the
program can't find the file PRINTERS.DAT or the file is damaged, the
program will issue an error message. You have two options at this
point:
Place the PRINSTAL (Printer Installation) disk in a
floppy disk drive and enter the letter of that drive.
-OR-
Press <Esc> to abort. Refer to the PRINSTAL
installation section of the instructions to continue.
** ERROR: PRINTERS.DEF File Not Found or Damaged
After PRINSTAL reads the PRINTERS.DAT file, it searches for the file
PRINTERS.DEF, installed in the same directory as your application
program.
If PRINSTAL is unable to locate this file or it is damaged, it will display
an error message. You have three options at this point.
New Path
Move the selection bar to New Path. Use the arrow
keys or First Letter.
Press <Enter> to select.
Type the name of the disk and directory containing the
PRINTERS.DEF file, and press <Enter>.
PRINSTAL will then read the PRINTERS.DEF file from the
specified path.
Create
You also have the option to create a new PRINTERS.DEF file
in the path that is currently displayed.
Move the selection bar to Create. Use the arrow keys
or First Letter.
Press <Enter> to select.
Exit
This will exit PRINSTAL and return you to the DOS prompt.
Move the selection bar to Exit. Use the arrow keys or
First Letter.
Press <Enter> to select.
** ERROR: Duplicate Printer Installed
An error message is displayed if you select a printer that is already
installed. Duplicate names for printers are not allowed.
Re-name an installed printer by using the EDIT <F2>
key. See instructions on Editing for further use of the
<F2> key.
Press <Esc> to exit the error message and return to
the Installed Printer List.
>>> EXITING PRINSTAL
Once you have completed selecting your installed list of printers and
making any editing changes, you are ready to exit PRINSTAL. The
completed list of Installed Printers is now ready to be used by the
application program that PRINSTAL came with.
Press <Esc> until you are at the Installed Printer List
screen.
Press <Esc> to exit the program and save all
changes.
A message asks for verification of this action.
Move the selection bar to YES to Exit.
Move the selection bar to NO to remain in PRINSTAL.
Press <Enter>.
The Installed Printer List is saved when exiting from PRINSTAL.Lists
