OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
The enclosed ADI printer driver PPFUJIE.COM has been developed
for FUJITSU 24-wire printers of the DL series in DPL24C emulation
with a maximum resolution of 360 * 180 dots per inch.
ADI provides the same functionality and performance as the standard
device drivers used for AutoCAD.
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: DPL24I for black-and-white printer
DPL24C 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:PPFUJIE.COM C:
3. Usage of the Driver with AutoCAD
Before starting AutoCAD you first have to load the driver
PPFUJIE.COM for FUJITSU 24 pin dot matrix printers, which
are driven by the DPL 24C command set.
Proceed according to the following syntax:
C:\ACAD>PPFUJIE /M - monochrome printout
C:\ACAD>PPFUJIE /C - color printout
C:\ACAD>PPFUJIE /F - output into a file
If you want to delete the driver that is loaded residentially
from your main memory, enter the filename PPFUJIE.
If the driver is to be loaded automatically then PPFUJIE.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.

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

__________________________________________________________________
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.
