and 92286Z cartridges). For support with these cartridges, you will
need to get the .PCM files. These can be downloaded from the HP Forum
on Compuserve or ordered from Hewlett Packard at [phone]. See
the section in this note on installing .PCM's for more information.


WINDOWS PRINTER SETUP

The information in this section describes how use the Windows control
panel to add or delete a printer or to change the printer defaults.

The procedures in this document assume that Windows is already
installed and operating.

Installation of your HP LaserJet III, IIID, or IIIP printer  with
Microsoft Windows v3.0 involves:

*Installation of correct printer drivers

*Selection of the fonts supported by that printer driver

Control Panel

To open the control panel:

1. Select the MAIN Program Window.
_______________________________________________________________________Page 2
2. Select Control Panel by double clicking on the icon.

With the Control Panel active you can:

1. Install or delete a printer.

2. Change printer defaults.

3. Add fonts to your printer.

4. Adjust general system settings


For more information on Control Panel and settings, consult
your MICROSOFT WINDOWS USER'S GUIDE.

Adding a Printer

1. If you do not currently have a LaserJet III, IIID,
or IIIP printer installed, go to step 2. If you already have a LaserJet
III, IIID, or IIIP printer installed and you are installing a printer
driver upgrade, use DOS or the Windows 3.0 File Manager to copy the
new HP LaserJet driver files from the driver disk to your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM
directory. These files are named HPPCL5A.DRV and HPPCL5A.HLP. (Once
the files have been copied proceed to the section on CHANGING PRINTER
DEFAULTS in this note).

2. Open the CONTROL PANEL.

3. Double click on PRINTERS.

4. Click on ADD PRINTER.

5. Scroll through the list of printers until HP LaserJet
III is showing in the window.

6. Highlight HP LaserJet III By clicking on that
option.

By selecting LaserJet III, you will be installing support
for PCL level 5 LaserJet printers. The only place that will actually
show that you have a LaserJet IIID or IIIP is the Printer Setup Menu.
Everywhere else it will state that you have a LaserJet III.

7. Click once on INSTALL.

8. You will be prompted to insert the driver disk in
the A: drive. Place the Driver Disk in the A: drive and
click on OK.

9. If you are prompted to insert the disk with the updated
FINSTALL.DLL file, put your Windows Setup Disk 5 in drive
A: and click on OK.

10. Your Printer Driver is now installed in Windows.

Deleting a Printer

1. Open the CONTROL PANEL.
_______________________________________________________________________Page 3
2. Double click on PRINTERS.

3. Highlight the printer that you wish to delete.

4. Click on CONFIGURE.

5. Click on REMOVE.

6. You will be asked if you want to remove the printer.

7. Click on YES to remove driver.

Changing Printer Defaults

1. Open the CONTROL PANEL.

2. Double click on PRINTERS.

3. Highlight the printer that you wish to change.

4. Click on CONFIGURE. At the Configure Menu,
you can choose which printer port you are using by clicking on
LPT1, LPT2, COM1, FILE, etc. You can also change your default timeouts
at this menu. For more information about selecting ports and default
timeouts, consult your MICROSOFT WINDOWS USER'S GUIDE.

5. Click on SETUP. At the Setup Menu you can choose
the printer that you want to use, the paper source, size of paper,
amount of memory, the Page Protection feature of the LaserJet III,
IIID, and IIIP printers (this feature requires at least 1 additional
Meg of printer memory), orientation, graphics resolution, gray scale
graphics, font cartridges, number of copies, and you can also add
soft fonts. (See Adding Fonts later in this note).


The Printer Setup dialog box in the Windows Control Panel
allows you to choose Gray Scale Graphics. For an improved photographic
appearance, turn on Gray Scale Graphics. Your image will have smooth,
soft-looking contrasts between shades of gray. Images originally designed
with color will print better too. For images that have a line
draw look, turn off Gray Scale Graphics. Although the fine details
of line work will be clear, the contrasts between shaded areas can
appear harsh.

The Page Protection option also appears in the Printer Setup dialog
box. Select the setting that corresponds to the printer's control
panel PAGEPROTECT setting. This setting, in combination with the Memory
box setting, tells the printer driver how much of the memory available
in the printer is usable by the printer driver. The setting in the
Page Protection box in the Printer Setup dialog box does not affect
the printer's configuration, but only reflects it. To change the PAGEPROTECT
setting in the printer, the printer's control panel must be used.

If Grayscale Graphics and Page Protection are not displayed in the
Printer Setup dialogue box your current driver does not support these
features. To obtain support for these features refer to printer
upgrade policies and procedures on page 4-3 of this note for
information on how to obtain an upgrade to your printer driver.

Font numbers 2,3,and 4 can be changed to give you different fonts
within your document.


3. Select FONTS to display a list of available
fonts in the FONT box.

4. Make sure that there is an X in the PRINTER
FONTS Box. If there is no X, click on the box and one will appear.

If you do not have an X in the Printer Fonts Box you
will be given a list of raster and stroke fonts. These fonts generally
do not look as clean as printer fonts and they usually take longer
to send to the printer. By selecting Printer Fonts, you will get a
list of internal, cartridge, and soft fonts that you have available
to you. In addition, you will receive three stroke fonts (Modern,
Roman, and Script).

5. Click on one of the four fonts that you want to change.

6. Click on the typeface that you want to use from the FONT Box.

7. Click on the point size that you want to use from
the SIZE Box. If you are using a scalable font and do not see
the point size that you want, highlight the box where the point sizes
appear and type in the size you want from 4-127 points.

8. If you want to change the style of the font that you
are using, click on Bold, Italic, Underline, or Strikeout from the STYLE Box.

9. Click on REPLACE.

10. To change the remaining fonts, repeat steps 5-9.

11. Click on OK to return to your document.

Printing Special Characters

To access special characters in Excel, hold down the [ALT]
key and press the 0 on your numeric keypad followed by the three
digit decimal equivalent of the character you want to print. The three
digit decimal equivalent can be found in Appendix A of your LaserJet
III, IIID, or IIIP Users Manual.

Windows applications default to the Windows symbol set. The
characters in this set are the only ones that can be used unless you
have installed and selected a font that specifically states that it
uses a different symbol set (i.e., M8, R8, etc.).


COMMON PROBLEMS

This section provides a troubleshooting approach to solving many of
the common problems associated with using Windows with the LaserJet
III, IIID, and IIIP printers.

LaserJet IIID and IIIP Printers do not show up

If the option for the LaserJet IIID and IIIP Printers do not show
up in Windows, check the following:

1. Open the CONTROL PANEL.

2. Double click on PRINTERS.

3. Highlight HP LASERJET III.

4. Click on CONFIGURE.

5. Click on SETUP.

6. Click on ABOUT. This screen will tell you which
version of the printer driver you have. You must have version 3.77
or higher for LaserJet IIIP support. LaserJet IIIP is not directly
supported in version 3.6 of the driver, the LaserJet IIID option can
be used if a IIIP option is not available, call Hewlett-Packard at
[phone] to receive the most current driver.

7. If you have the correct driver, select OK.

8. Click on the arrow to the right of the PRINTER
option. This is the only place that the LaserJet IIID or IIIP printer
will show up. If it is there click on it then select OK to save
your selection. If the LaserJet IIID or IIIP option is not there,
reinstall your printer driver and then check this menu again.

Out of Memory

If an out of memory error occurs while using Windows, you will need
to do the following:

1.Close all unnecessary applications to free available memory.

2. If you are running any RAM resident programs (e.g.,
Sidekick), remove them from memory and reboot your computer.

No Paper Sizes

If no paper sizes appear or paper sizes change randomly in your printer
setup, you will need to check the following:

1. Open your WIN.INI file.

2. Find the option paperind= under the Heading [HPPCL5A,LPT1].

3. Make sure that paperind=0. If paperind is set
to 1, you will encounter this problem.

4. Save your changes in the WIN.INI file.

You must exit out of Windows and then restart Windows for
the changes to take effect.


Font Does Not Print

If the font that you have selected in your Windows application does
not print:

1. Check to make sure that you actually have the font
that you selected. If it is not an font that is internal to the LaserJet,
make sure that you have a cartridge or soft font that supports it.

2. If your font is on a cartridge, take your printer
off line, remove the cartridge, and reinsert it in the printer. Give
the cartridge a good push and you will hear it click into Place. Put
the printer back on line and print again. If it still prints in the
wrong font, take the printer off line and press the PRINT FONTS
key on the printer. This will give you a printout of all the fonts
that the printer has available. If the cartridge does not show up,
it may be damaged or still not inserted properly.

3. If you are using a soft font, check to make sure that
the soft font is in the proper directory to be downloaded. Go through
the section in this note on ADDING SOFT FONTS and make sure
that your fonts are selected as TEMPORARY if you want Windows
to download them each time you print your job, or PERMANENT
if you have downloaded them before printing. If you have downloaded
the font as permanent before printing, take the printer off line and
press the PRINT FONTS key on the printer. This will give you
a printout of all the fonts that the printer has available. If the
font does not show up on the page, it will have to be downloaded again.

MP LOAD (paper size) on the IIIP.

If the LaserJet IIIP printer displays MP LOAD (paper size)
when sending a print job to the printer then the job size being sent
to the printer does not match the MP SIZE setting on the
front panel of the printer.

Check the front panel of the printer as well as the paper size in
your software to make sure that the two settings match.
