Installing under OS/2 2.0 and 2.1
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

If you have a previous version of the CaPSL driver already installed on your
system, you must perform the following steps before proceeding with the
installation.

1.  Open a printer driver icon's settings dialog

2.  Delete any installed CaPSL drivers shown on the printer drivers list,
    either by dragging to the shredder or by selecting "Delete" on the
    icon's menu. When deleting the last driver icon, allow the system
    to delete the driver file as well

To install the new driver from the installation disk, you should perform
the following steps

1.  Open the drive icon containing the installation disk

2.  Open the CaPSL printer driver icon (labelled "CAPSL.DRV"). (The
    system may take a long time to open the icon, please wait.) The
    system will display a window containing the CaPSL device names

3.  Select the icon most appropriate for your printer and drag the icon
    onto the desktop. This will install the printer driver on your system
    and create a queue to the printer. (The system may not position the
    printer icon at the place where you dropped it on the desktop.)

4.  Open the settings dialog on the printer icon and configure the settings
    according to your printer environment (i.e. output port, paper size,
    font cards, etc.)

If the system fails to copy the new driver to your hard disk it is probably
due to a previous version of the driver being locked. Reboot your system
and try the installation procedure again.



Application Notes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. Graduated polygon fills are time-consuming under Corel Draw. When printing
   pictures containing such objects, ensure the "Fountain Stripes" value
   on the Print dialog is set to the minimum value that will produce a
   reasonable quality. For most pictures a value between 8 and 16 should
   suffice. Increase the value for pictures with high contrast.
