LPT49 - A utility to add LPT ports to OS/2 systems for FxPrint
8/2/95, Keller Group Inc.
The fax printer driver is usually associated with an LPT port on your
system. This is used for print capture from DOS or Windows
applications. But what if LPT1, LPT2 and LPT3 are already in use?
The LPT49 utility includes a device driver (LPT49.SYS) and command
file (LPT49.CMD) for creating additional LPT ports on your system
(LPT4 through LPT9). You can then install the fax printer object on
any of these LPT ports. You can also create multiple fax printer
objects on different LPT ports (set on the Output page of the printer
object's Settings notebook), and each printer object can have
different job properties (set with the Job properties button on the
Printer driver page of the printer object's Settings notebook).
To use the LPT49 utility, do the following:
1) Add a line to your CONFIG.SYS file to load the LPT49.SYS driver.
For example: DEVICE=C:\path\LPT49.SYS
2) Run the LPT49.CMD command file. This adds the OS2SYS.INI entries
for all the ports so that they will appear on the Output page of the
Settings notebook for printer objects.
3) Reboot your system.
4) To use the additional LPT ports for FxPrint, either run the fax
INSTALL program again and select the desired port, or open the Settings
notebook for the FxPrint printer object and select the desired LPT port
on the Output page.
