I. OVERVIEW OF THE IBMPCL3 DEVICE DRIVER
-------------------------------------
This version of the IBMPCL3 device driver should be used for best
operation of the:
IBM 4076 ExecJet II
Lexmark 4076 Color
This driver is for use with IBM OS/2 versions 1.3, 2.0 and 2.1. It operates
the printer in Hewlett-Packard (HP) DeskJet printer command
language (PCL 3) mode and supports the multiple graphic resolutions, multiple
paper sources, and download fonts available.
NOTE: All workstations should have an OS/2 level of:
XR05050 for 1.3 SE (1.30.2) WR05050 for 1.3 EE (1.30.2)
XR02000 for 2.0 XR02010 for 2.1
or greater. To determine your OS/2 level, type SYSLEVEL at the
C:\ prompt in an OS/2 window or Full Screen.
II. PREPARING THE IBMPCL3 DEVICE DRIVER
-----------------------------------
When you executed the self-extracting file, OS2PCL3.EXE, the following 6 files
were created:
SETUP.CMD PCL3D.NEA
README.1ST (this file) PCL3H.EA
PCL3D.EA PCL3H.NEA
Copy the files listed above to a 1.44 MB (or larger) diskette for ease of
installation as well as to provide an automatic backup. Do not change
the file names when copying them to the diskette. If you receive more
than one device driver package, the files provided with each package should
be copied onto a separate diskette to avoid intermixing code or documentation
files from different device driver packages.
The driver was partitioned to avoid loss of vital information. You must run
the utility, SETUP.CMD, provided in this package to reassemble the files for
installation and use with OS/2.
SETUP must be run in an OS/2 session. SETUP will not execute in a DOS window or
on a DOS workstation. To run SETUP:
1. Switch to an OS/2 session.
2. Insert your device driver diskette containing the files listed above
into the diskette drive.
EXAMPLE: Insert diskette into drive A.
3. Make that diskette drive the current drive.
EXAMPLE: Type A: and press Enter.
4. Run SETUP.
EXAMPLE: Type SETUP and press Enter.
5. SETUP combines the original files into 2 new files. These files should
only be copied using an OS/2 workstation. The driver will not install
properly on OS/2 if the files are copied using a DOS workstation. The
OS2PCL3.EXE and SETUP.CMD files are no longer needed and may be erased.
The 2 files included with this package are:
FILE SIZE DATE CONTENTS
IBMPCL3.DRV 518,848 8/23/94 The Presentation Manager printer
driver that supports PM and non-PM
applications.
IBMPCL3.HLP 47,196 8/23/94 On-line information on setup
and use of the IBMPCL3 driver.
7. If you are using OS/2 version 1.3, continue with Section III.A. If
you are using OS/2 version 2.0 or 2.1, continue with Section III.B.
These sections contain unique steps required to properly install this
driver. Jobs will not print UNLESS these instructions are followed.
