UTILITIES CONTENTS
------------------
The IBM ExecJet II 4076 Installation Utilities consists of 1 diskette. This
diskette contains all of the utilities and the IBM ExecJet II 4076 printer driver
for PCL 3 Emulation support on IBM OS/2 1.30.2, 2.0 and higher. This
diskette also contains printer drivers for the following:
* IBM AIX* Operating System 3.1.5 or 3.2 and higher
-------------------------------------
COMPATIBILITY AND SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-------------------------------------
The Installation Utilities are designed to operate on IBM (or 100%-
compatible) Personal Computers or Personal Systems with a hard drive and
one high density (1.44 MB) 3.5" diskette drive.
The Installation Utilities were designed and tested for the following PC
operating systems and environments:
- IBM OS/2 versions 1.30.2 or higher (To check your OS/2 version, enter
the command, SYSLEVEL, at an OS/2 command prompt.) Prior versions of
OS/2 are not supported.
To install the printer Toolkit utility on your hard drive as recommended,
you will need at least 700K bytes of free disk space for each copy of the
OS/2 version of the Toolkit you install.
----------------------------------
RUNNING THE INSTALLATION UTILITIES
----------------------------------
To run the OS/2 version of Setup:
- Insert the diskette into drive a:.
- At an OS/2 command prompt, enter the command: A:\SETUP
- Follow the directions displayed.
To run the OS/2 version of Toolkit, the Toolkit must be installed on your
hard drive using the OS/2 version of Setup.
-----------------------------
USER TIPS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
-----------------------------
- GENERAL
The Installation Utilities diskette may be copied for use with your
printer by using the OS/2 DISKCOPY command or its equivalent.
Keep these diskettes with your printer and printer documentation.
Do not copy the diskette to a directory that contains another
copy of the setup program.
You should make backup copies of the Installation Utilities diskette in
the event your original diskette is damaged during use.
Only OS/2 Presentation Manager* drivers are installed by the Toolkit for
OS/2. To install drivers for WIN-OS/2 and selected DOS applications, OS/2
users must run the Setup or Toolkit for DOS and Windows. If you have OS/2
2.0 or higher, WIN-OS/2 will be identified and updated as Windows 3.0 or
3.1, depending on the OS/2 version installed, by the application search
function in Setup or Toolkit.
The Toolkit for OS/2 must be installed on your hard drive and cannot be
executed from diskette.
- FORMATTING THE FLASH OPTION
All fonts stored in the Flash Memory option are erased when the Flash is
formatted. You should update the font lists in the Windows (or WIN-OS/2)
and OS/2 printer drivers to remove the fonts deleted.
If the OS/2 Toolkit issued the Format flash command, the font list in
the OS/2 IBM ExecJet II 4076 PCL 3 driver is automatically updated.
- DRIVER INSTALLATION WITHOUT THE UTILITIES
You can manually unpack and install the printer drivers provided
if you do not have enough free memory to run the utilities.
The OS/2 PCL 3 printer driver does not need to be unpacked prior to
installation. Refer to the user's guide for OS/2 or the software
application guide provided with the printer for instructions on installing
the OS/2 printer drivers.
- AIX SUPPORT
Files supplied in the AIX subdirectory are for use with
AIX Version 3.1.5 and AIX Versions 3.2 and higher. The virtual printer
files (also called printer colon files) supplied support the PPDS language
of the IBM ExecJet II 4076 printer. Browse, using a text editor, or print the
file AIX_READ.ME in the AIX subdirectory for more information and
instructions.
---------------------
PROBLEM DETERMINATION
---------------------
- OS/2 DRIVER WILL NOT INSTALL BECAUSE EXTENDED ATTRIBUTES WERE REMOVED
If OS/2 driver installation fails because the Extended Attributes (EAs)
were not present, run PCL3JOIN on your diskette and then retry the
installation. Please see PCL3READ.ME for further information.
- FONT DOWNLOAD FROM OS/2 TOOLKIT IS SLOW
When using the download font or the install screen font functions in
the OS/2 version of the Printer Toolkit, it is possible that the
hourglass icon will appear for long periods of time especially when
performing these functions with fonts on diskettes. This is
normal operation for the Printer Toolkit; the system is not "hung".
If an OS/2 printer error message is displayed while downloading fonts in
OS/2, correct the problem at the printer, then select RETRY. Do not
select ABORT.
