I.A. THE PSCRIPT DEVICE DRIVER
-------------------------
This version of the PSCRIPT device driver is for use with IBM OS/2
versions 1.3 and 2.0. It should be used for best operation of the:
IBM 4019 LaserPrinter PS
IBM 4029 LaserPrinter PS
IBM 4079 Color Jetprinter PS
I.B. LICENSE
-------
Please see the LICENSE text file in this package for licensing information.
The driver is provided for use by prior licensees of OS/2 only.
II. PREPARING THE PSCRIPT DEVICE DRIVER
-----------------------------------
When you executed the self-extracting file, OS2PS.EXE, the following 6 files
were created:
PSD.NEA PSD.EA
PSCRIPT.HLP PSCRIPT.SYM
LICENSE SETUP.CMD
READ.ME (this file)
Copy the files listed above to a 1.44 MB (or larger) diskette for ease of
installation as well as to provide an automatic backup. Do not change
the file names when copying them to the diskette. If you receive more
than one device driver package, the files provided with each package should
be copied onto a separate diskette to avoid intermixing code or documentation
files from different device driver packages.
The driver was partitioned to avoid loss of vital information. You must run
the utility, SETUP.CMD, provided in this package to reassemble the files for
installation and use with OS/2.
SETUP must be run in an OS/2 session. SETUP will not execute in a DOS window or
on a DOS workstation. To run SETUP:
1. Switch to an OS/2 session.
2. Insert your device driver diskette containing the files listed above
into the diskette drive.
EXAMPLE: Insert diskette into drive A.
3. Make that diskette drive the current drive.
EXAMPLE: Type A: and press Enter.
4. Run SETUP.
EXAMPLE: Type SETUP and press Enter.
5. SETUP combines the original PSD.NEA and PSD.EA files into a new file,
PSCRIPT.DRV. This file should only be copied using an OS/2
workstation. The driver will not install properly on OS/2 if the
files are copied using a DOS workstation.
6. If you are using OS/2 version 1.3, continue with Section III.A. If
you are using OS/2 version 2.0, continue with Section III.B. These
sections contain unique steps required to install this driver. Jobs
will not print UNLESS these instructions are followed.
