│ Install Utility for UM8886BF PCI-Bus IDE Controller │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
The INSTALL4.EXE utility can detect the speeds of the hard disks
which are attached on the controller automatically and it also can
install drivers for you. Please follow the steps below to excute
this program first.
I. Insert this diskette in a floppy disk drive, and close the
drive door.
II. At the command prompt, type the drive letter of the drive
you are using, followed by a colon(:), and then press ENTER.
III. Type INSTALL4, and then press ENTER.
IV. Follow the instructions on the screen to detect hard disk(s)
speed and install driver(s).
In very few cases, this program will yield incorrect values for
speed. Should this occur, please reduce the drive speed step by
step until you find the setting at which the system boots and
becomes stable. If possible, perform burn-in tests with IDE
operations to ensure the stability of your system.

│ Install ColorMode Screen HardCopy Utility for PCI-Bus IDE Controller │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
The UMC ColorMode screen hardcopy utility is a terminate and stay
resident (TSR) program that provides high quality printouts using
the IBM standard color mode and most Super VGA VESA BIOS Extensions.
This utility was written for IBM PC,XT,AT and compatiables that
employ some UMC components, such as UM8672, UM8673, and UM8886(A).
We assume no responsibility for this utility, and make absolutely no
warranties as to its use. This package is provided only for your
convenience.
If you want to install ColorMode Screen HardCopy Utility for your
system, please type the following statement under DOS command prompt.
PU.COM [/Q<H|L>][/D<3|6>][/O<P|L>][/P<1|2|3|4>][/C<0001~9999>][/R][/H][/?]
where
Q: printing quality;
/QH for high quality (default), /QL for low quality
D: printer DPI;
/D3 for 300DPI (default), and /D6 for 600DPI
O: printing orientatation;
/OP for portrait, /OL for landscape (default)
P: printer port selection;
/P1 for LPT1 (default), /P2 for LPT2, etc.
C: setup paper count /Cn;
where n=0001 to 9999, /C1 is the default value
R: release this utility
H: show usage
?: show usage
For high performance printing, this print utility can be run by
excuting PU.COM/QH (default) under DOS. If performance is not
important to you, PU.COM/QL is a better choice. This can improve the
printing speed. To release this utility from memory, select the
PU.COM/R option.
When you are ready to print the desired screen image, press
[PrintScreen] key. At that time, the screen will change to 256 gray
levels and await your print image command. If you are satisfied with
the image on the screen, press [ENTER]. After the image is printed,
the screen will be held once more so that you may compare the screen
image with the printout. At this time, press any key to escape from
print mode. If you are not satisfied with the screen image, press
any key except the Enter key to escape from printing.
NOTE:
While gaining the advantange of high quality printing, you may
sacrifice a certain amount of speed. The utility must access
halftone image pattern data from the pattern array. Due to slower
performance, it may cause a delay writing to the printer. If you want
high performance printing, you can choose PU.COM/QH. You can also
select PU.COM/QL to dither the image. This can improve the printing
speed, but will reduce the image quality in 256-color mode or above.
SYSTEM SETUP AND SUPPORT:
I. System requirements:
IBM PC,XT,AT or compatiables, EGA/VGA/SVGA card, 28 KBytes
main memory.
II. Screen HardCopy Mode:
Supports IBM EGA/VGA standard mode and all VESA modes.
III. Printer Port selection:
In this version, the printer port is set to LPT1. You can also
change the printer port by excuting PU.COM /Pn under DOS, where

IV. Printer Support:
In this version, only printers using HP PCL III language or
above are supported. You can choose PU.COM /D3 or /D6 options
under DOS to configure the printer resolution. For printers
that empoly other DPI values, the /D3 option is suggested.
V. Printing Mode:
A. 16 colors: This mode includes IBM screen modes 0Dh,0Eh,10h,
12h and VESA 16-color mode. In this mode, we use
HalfTone 16 GrayScale to print screen (default).
B. 256 colors or above: This mode includes IBM screen mode 13h
and VESA 256-color+ modes. In this mode, we use
HalfTone 64 GrayScale to print the screen (default).
VI. Paper Count(1 to 9999):
In this version, the printer's paper count after you press the
PrintScreen key is set to 1. You can also change it by excuting
PU.COM /Cn under DOS, where n=1 to 9999.
VII. Image Attribute (Positive/Negative):
In this version, the image attribute is set to positive.
VIII. Printing Orientation(Portrait/Landscape):
In this version, the printing orientation is set to landscape.
You can also change the orientation to portrait by excuting
