- ***** IMPORTANT *****
-
- This is a demo package of products from TaxWare specially
- prepared for use with GRAB Plus and WinGRAB. In order to avoid a
- conflict with another demo included with the same name
- "DOWNLOAD.EXE", we have renamed this packages DOWNLOAD.EXE
- program to LOGODEMO.EXE. All referenced in this documentation
- file to DOWNLOAD actually refer to LOGODEMO.EXE.
-
- ***** *****
-
- We have created a DOS batch file for use in testing this package.
- The file is DEMO.BAT and will load two logos to your LaserJet
- printer for evaluation. We have also included a style sheet
- named LOGODEMO.STL for using the included batch file and logos.
-
- Registered users of the GRAB Plus and WinGRAB package will find a
- coupon for a one third discount on the software package that
- includes the programs to convert PXC and TIF graphic images to
- Hewlett Packard PCL macro files. Two sample files have been
- included in this package for your testing. They will both print
- using the batch file to load them into your printer and the
- sample style sheet for GRAB and WinGRAB.
-
- DOWNLOAD and UNLOAD are utilities used to download and unload
- soft fonts and graphic macros to/from the printer memory of HP
- LaserJet (and compatible) printers. DOWNLOAD and UNLOAD are
- generally included as supplemental utilities with other
- shareware and commercial software from TaxWare.
-
- ***** GRAB Plus/WinGRAB *****
-
- The versions of DOWNLOAD and UNLOAD included with GRAB Plus are
- customized for distribution with Paul Mayer's GRAB Plus and
- WinGRAB programs. They are included to demonstrate how logos and
- other graphic information can be printed on envelopes via GRAB
- Plus/WinGRAB. The version of DOWNLOAD included with GRAB Plus
- is functional only with the *.PCL LaserJet graphics files
- included. The graphics files were converted from PCX and/or TIF
- format to the LaserJet PCL format using TIF2PCL/PCX2PCL, a
- software package available from TaxWare (see details below).
- The original (PCX and TIF format) graphics were created by Paint
- programs and scanners. The TIF2PCL/PCX2PCL package of
- conversion utilities also includes the non-demo version of
- DOWNLOAD. With TIF2PCL/PCX2PCL you can convert and download
-
-
- your own logo or other graphic, and print it using GRAB. If you
- wish to use your logo or graphic with GRAB, but need it scanned,
- please request information from TaxWare about their scanning
- service.
-
