OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
The enclosed ADI printer driver PPFUJI36.COM has been developed
for FUJITSU 24-wire printers of the DL series in DPL24C PLUS
emulation with a maximum resolution of 360 * 360 dots per inch.
ADI provides the same functionality and performance as the
standard device drivers used for AutoCAD and AutoSketch.
As opposed to other common AutoCAD drivers the ADI drivers
have to be loaded before starting AutoCAD.
They are residing in the main memory.
1. Printer Installation
Before starting with the printing set the printer to the following
values:
EMULATE: DPL24C PLUS for 8-color printers
COLOR: AUTOSEL (only for 8-color printers)
LF-Code: LF only
CR-Code: CR only
2. Driver Installation
Copy the driver via the following command onto your harddisk:
COPY A:PPFUJI36.COM C: for AutoCAD
3. Usage of the Driver with AutoCAD
Before starting AutoCAD you first have to load the driver
PPFUJI36.COM for FUJITSU 24 pin dot matrix printers,
which are driven by the DPL 24C PLUS command set.
Proceed according to the following syntax:
C:\ACAD>PPFUJI36 /M - monochrome printout
C:\ACAD>PPFUJI36 /C - color printout
C:\ACAD>PPFUJI36 /F - output into a file
If you want to delete the driver that is loaded
residentially from your main memory, enter the
filename PPFUJI36.
If the driver is to be loaded automatically then
PPFUJI36.COM has to be entered together with the right
parameter in the AUTOEXEC.BAT batch file.
If ADI is used for the first time together with AutoCAD the
program must be configured. Thus, select the option
"Configure AutoCAD" from the AutoCAD main menu. In case
AutoCAD is already configured you are automatically set
into the configuration mode when starting the program.
Regarding the item "Configure PRINTER PLOTTER" the ADI
printer plotter must be selected.
If this option is not available in the program, in any
case you must check whether your AutoCAD version comprises
all drivers (files with the extension .DRV) and whether
they have been installed into your program.
An UPDATE diskette can be obtained from your AutoCAD
dealer, if necessary.
After selection of the ADI printer plotter the following
setting ought to be taken into account when using the
FUJITSU 24-wire printers of the DL series.
Programming Text Your Choice

Do you want to specify plot size in millimeter? <N> RETURN
Maximum horizontal (X) plot size in inches <11.0000>: 13.599
Dots per inch in horizontal direction <100.0>: 360
Maximum vertical (Y) plot size in inches <8.5000>: 12
Dots per inch in vertical (Y) direction <360.0>: 180

Rotate 2-dimensional plots clockwise by 90 °? <N> RETURN
Remove hidden lines? <N> RETURN
Specification of the rule by entering:
plotted millimeters=drawing units or adaptation or? <A> A
__________________________________________________________________
When entering the format you have the following input
possibilities:
- A4, if your printer is to proceed A4 paper
- MAX, if you want to make use of the entire width of the
printer
After the installation you have to abandon the configuration menu.
In doing so, the changed setting is saved.
5. General Hints for Usage
Due to the limited capacity of the main memory the color printers
can only be selected with 8 pins. This cannot be changed because
of programming reasons.
We hope you understand our situation. The result is a slower
printout than in the case of a white-and-black printout, but
the print quality is the same.
If you should have any problems with the configuration or the
work with AutoCAD under the ADI-driver, please call the hotline
of your country specific subsidiary of Autodesk or FUJITSU.
We hope that these operation instructions will help you and
hope you enjoy working with AutoCAD and your Fujitsu printer.
