ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Printer Device Driver ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

When data is sent from your computer to the printer, it must be converted into
a language that the printer understands.  The Printer Device Driver converts
data into the Hewlett-Packard* (HP*) LaserJet* printer command language (PCL*),
an industry standard printer language.

Notes:

     If you want to print data in some other printer language, such as
      PostScript*, you need to install the printer driver for that language.

     To use this printer driver with the IBM LaserPrinter 4029*, you must have
      the PCL 5 emulation option installed in your printer.  (You can determine
      whether your printer has this option from the emulation setting on the
      printer operator panel.  See your printer documentation for instructions
      on displaying the emulation setting.)

The information in this driver is divided into two notebooks: Printer
Properties and Job Properties.

To print jobs correctly, you need to set properties in both notebooks.

    Before you send any print jobs, use the Printer Properties notebook to
     describe how your printer is physically set up (for example, what paper
     trays and options are installed and the types of print material that are
     going to be used with each one).  This lets your applications know the
     capabilities of your printer.

    Use the Job Properties notebook to select settings that change frequently
     from job to job (for example, orientation and duplexing).  You usually set
     job properties from your application, though not all applications call the
     settings job properties.

     For example, in some applications, you display job properties by selecting
     a Setup or an Options choice.

     Note:   If your application does not provide a way to set job properties,
     the printer looks for these settings in other places.  For a description
     of how the printer searches for job properties, see Locating Job
     Properties.

For more information about using the printer driver, see the Printer Properties
Notebook and the Job Properties Notebook Help topics.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Printer Properties Notebook ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Before you send any print jobs, select settings in this notebook to describe
how your printer is physically set up.  This enables the driver to adapt its
selections to the printer's capabilities and ensures that jobs print correctly.

Tip

     Print settings that change frequently from job to job, such as
      orientation and duplexing, are called job properties.  For information
      about job properties, see the Job Properties Notebook Help topic.

 The Printer Properties notebook is made up of several pages and push buttons.
 To view a specific page of the notebook, click the appropriate notebook tab.
 To view pages consecutively, click the controls in the top right corner of any
 notebook page.

 Tip

     The notebook settings are for the printer named in the title bar of the
      Printer Properties window.

 The Printer Properties notebook contains the following pages and push buttons.
 Depending on the model of your printer, the printer driver may not contain the
 Cards page.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.2.4.2. Add Form Window ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The Add Form window lets you define a new form by changing the size, name, or
both the size and the name of an existing form.

You may want to create a new form for several reasons, such as:

     You want a form with smaller clip limits so that you can print on more of
      the page.
     You want your print job to use both letterhead stationery and plain
      paper, and you need a way to specify the paper loaded in each paper tray.
     You want to use a colored separator page between print jobs, and you need
      a way to specify which paper tray contains colored paper and which tray
      contains plain paper.

 Once created, new forms appear in the Available Forms list box in the Form
 Connections window to let you associate them with paper sources and begin
 printing with them.

 To add a form:

   1. In the Form Templates list box, click a form that is either the same size
      as the new one you are creating or close to the same size.

      The values in each field (except Form Name) are those of the selected
      form template.

      Note:   The printer accepts only forms of predetermined sizes, therefore
      the form width and height, the units of measurement (inches or
      millimeters), and the form type (paper or envelope) change only when you
      click the various templates in the Form Templates list box.

   2. Enter a name for the new form.

   3. Change the clip limits if necessary.  The clip limits are margins that
      define the form's print area.

      Note:   The printer cannot print to the edges of the page.

      For example, some printer models have nonprintable areas of 0.25 inches
      on the left and right sides of the page; therefore, a form that is 8.5
      inches wide has a horizontal print area of 8.0 inches.

   4. Select OK.

      The Create User-Defined Forms window is displayed with the name of the
      form you created in the Defined Forms list box.

To change the:

     Form name, enter a new name in the Form Name field.
     Form size, click a form with the values you want in the Form Templates
      list box.  The form width, form height, units of measurement (inches or

      template.
     Clip limits, enter a new value in each clip field you choose.

      Note:   The printer cannot print to the edges of the page.

      For example, some printer models have nonprintable areas of 0.25 inches

paper, beyond which the printer does not print.

Note:   The printer cannot print to the edges of the page.

For example, some printer models have nonprintable areas of 0.25 inches on the
left and right sides of the page; therefore, a form that is 8.5 inches wide has
a horizontal print area of 8.0 inches.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.2.4.3.6. Bottom Clip Limit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The Bottom Clip Limit field shows the amount of space that the printer leaves
on the bottom of a page.

Note:   The printer cannot print to the edges of the page.

For example, some printer models have nonprintable areas of 0.20 inches at the
top and bottom of each form; therefore, in this case, a form that is 11.0
inches long has a vertical print area of 10.60 inches.

Tip

     Some printers let you use the operator panel to set the width of the
      printable area for A4 paper. The width of the printable area can be
      either 198 or 203 millimeters.  Select the form in Form Templates that
      corresponds to your printer's operator panel setting.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.2.5. Default Spool File Type ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The Default Spool File Type setting lets you specify the format in which your
print jobs arrive at the spool queue to be printed.  This setting is only used
if your application or operating system does not specify a spool file type.

The following settings are available:

 PM_Q_RAW
           The file created when the job is added to the spool queue consists
           of device-dependent Hewlett-Packard* (HP*) LaserJet* printer command
           language (PCL*) commands.

           PM_Q_RAW jobs might take more time to be added to the spool queue,
           but might take less time to be removed from the spool queue than
           PM_Q_STD jobs.
 PM_Q_STD
           The file created when the job is added to the spool queue consists
           of device-independent Presentation Manager*(OS/2*) commands.

           PM_Q_STD jobs might take less time to be added to the spool queue,
           but might take more time to be removed from the spool queue than
           PM_Q_RAW jobs.  This is the default setting.

 Note:   The Default Spool File Type setting can be overridden by a
 Presentation Manager program or an operating system.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.2.6. Automatic Mode Switching ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

If the Automatic Mode Switching check box is selected, commands are sent to the
printer that put it in PCL* 5 emulation mode each time a job is sent.

You may want to deselect Automatic Mode Switching if you are:

     Using operator panel settings that get changed by emulation mode
      switches.
     Sending only PCL 5 jobs to the printer and have PCL 5 emulation set on
      the printer's operator panel.
     Are sending macro overlays to the printer from the command line instead
      of using the overlay settings in the printer driver.

 Notes:

     For manual forms to print correctly and to get the correct prompt on the
      operator panel, Automatic Mode Switching must be selected or the correct
      manual form must be set on the printer operator panel.
     To print jobs correctly with Automatic Mode Switching deselected, the
      resolution set on the printer driver must match the resolution set on the
      printer's operator panel. (If you select a resolution setting in the
      driver that does not appear on the printer's operator panel, select 300
      on the operator panel.)

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.3.1. Download Fonts ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The Download Fonts list box contains the download fonts that you can copy
(download) to printer memory and use with your print jobs.  If you cannot see
all of the fonts, you can scroll the list.

Selected fonts (those that are highlighted in the list box) are downloaded
automatically when the first job is printed, so selected fonts should be fonts
that are used frequently.  Selected fonts remain in printer memory until the
printer is turned off.

The remaining fonts in the list (those that are not highlighted) are downloaded
as required by a print job and are deleted at the end of that print job.

Click a font you want to select.  Fonts are highlighted when selected.

You can select as many fonts as you want and the printer's memory (which you
specify in the Memory Size field) can hold.

If the printer does not have enough memory to hold all of the fonts selected, a
message is displayed.  If you receive this message, select OK, and the last
font selected is deselected.

Notes:

     Download fonts can be reloaded (after you turn the printer on) by either
      pressing the Reload Fonts push button or (in the case of selected
      download fonts) restarting your computer and sending a print job.
     If the printer is directed to print a job with a data stream other than
      printer command language (PCL*), the download fonts are cleared from
      printer memory.  Do not select any fonts in the Download Fonts list, if
      you intend to print jobs using data streams other than PCL emulation.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.3.2. Flash Memory Option ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The Flash Memory Option list box contains the flash memory card fonts that can
be used with your print jobs (if your printer supports a flash memory option).
If you cannot see all of the fonts, you can scroll the list.

The printer driver assumes that selected fonts (those that are highlighted in
the list box) have been stored on the flash memory card using MarkVision* or
the Printer Toolkit.  You can find MarkVision and the Printer Toolkit on the
CD-ROM that came with the printer.

Click a font you want to select.  Fonts are highlighted when selected.

Notes:

     To use this list box, you must have a flash memory card option installed
      in the printer, and you must have added it to the Installed Options list
      box on the Configure page.
     If the flash memory card is removed from the printer and the flash memory
      option is removed from the Installed Options list box on the Configure
      page, any fonts previously selected in the Flash Memory Option list box
      are moved to the Download Fonts list box.  These fonts are downloaded as
      required and deleted at the end of the job.

The Disk Option list box contains the disk option fonts that can be used with
your print jobs (if your printer supports a disk option).  If you cannot see
all of the fonts, you can scroll the list.

The driver assumes that selected fonts (those that are highlighted in the list
box) have been downloaded to the disk option using MarkVision* or the Printer
Toolkit.  You can find MarkVision and the Printer Toolkit on the CD-ROM that
came with the printer.

Click a font you want to select.  Fonts are highlighted when selected.

Notes:

     To use this list box, you must have a hard disk option installed in the
      printer, and you must have added it to the Installed Options list box on
      the Configure page.
     If the hard disk is removed from the printer and the disk option is
      removed from the Installed Options list box on the Configure page, any
      fonts previously selected in the Disk Option list box are moved to the
      Download Fonts list box.  These fonts are downloaded as required and
      deleted at the end of the job.

Memory capacity determines the maximum number of fonts that can be downloaded
to your printer during the first printing.  Selecting fonts for first printing
is described in Download Fonts.

Note:   An error message is displayed if you select more fonts than the memory
can hold.  If you receive this message, select OK, and the last font you
selected is deselected.

The field contains the typefaces in the selected card that include
extended symbol sets.  The name of the extended symbol set appears after the
typeface name, in parenthesis.  Since a typeface can contain a number of
symbol sets, a typeface may be listed more than once, but each entry in the
list represents one typeface-symbol set combination.

Typefaces that do not contain extended symbol sets are not shown, but are added
automatically when you add the card.

If you want to add any of the typefaces that are listed in the window, select
the typefaces and symbol sets that you want to add, and then select the Add
push button.

If a font card was previously installed, a file with the extension FCF was
created by the printer driver.  You can add this previously installed font card
by using the FCF file as the font card file.  Although the typefaces supported
by the FCF file that have extended symbol sets are not shown in the extended
symbol set window, they are installed automatically, along with all the other
typefaces in the FCF file.  You do not need to make any additional selections.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.5.1. Download Overlays ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The Download Overlays list box contains the download overlays that you can copy
(download) to printer memory and use with your print jobs.  If you cannot see
all of the overlays, you can scroll the list.

Selected overlays (those that are highlighted in the list box) are downloaded
automatically when the first job is printed, so selected overlays should be
overlays that are used frequently.  Selected overlays remain in printer memory
until the printer is turned off.

The remaining overlays in the list (those that are not highlighted) are
downloaded as required by a print job and are deleted at the end of that print
job.

Click an overlay you want to select.  An overlay is highlighted when selected.

Notes:

     Download overlays can be reloaded (after you turn the printer on) by
      either pressing the Reload Overlays push button or (in the case of
      selected download overlays) restarting your computer and sending a print
      job.
     If the printer is directed to print a job with a data stream other than
      printer command language (PCL*), the download overlays are cleared from
      printer memory.  Do not select any overlays in the Download Overlays list
      if you intend to print jobs using data streams other than PCL emulation.
     If the overlay listed in the Download Overlays field has an asterisk
      after it, it is an XL/Enhanced Overlay.  The XL/Enhanced Overlay uses the
      printer's enhanced PCL XL emulator to process the data for printed
      overlays.

 For instructions on adding overlays to the Download Overlays list box, see
 Adding Overlays.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.5.2. Flash Memory Option ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The Flash Memory Option list box contains the flash memory card overlays that
can be used with your print jobs (if your printer supports a flash memory
option).  If you cannot see all of the overlays, you can scroll the list.

The driver assumes that selected overlays (those that are highlighted in the
list box) have been downloaded to the flash memory card using MarkVision* or a
utility in the Printer Toolkit.  You can find MarkVision and the Printer
Toolkit on the CD-ROM that came with the printer.

Click an overlay you want to select.  An overlay is highlighted when selected.

Note:   To use this list box, you must have a flash memory card option
        installed in the printer, and you must have added it to the Installed
        Options list box on the Configure page.

If the flash memory card is removed from the printer and the flash memory
option is removed from the Installed Options list box on the Configure page,
any overlays previously selected in the Flash Memory Option list box are moved
to the Download Overlays list box.  These overlays are downloaded as required
and deleted at the end of the job.

The Disk Option list box contains the disk option overlays that can be used
with your print jobs (if your printer supports a disk option).  If you cannot
see all of the overlays, you can scroll the list.

The driver assumes that selected overlays (those that are highlighted in the
list box) have been downloaded on the disk option using MarkVision* or a
utility in the Printer Toolkit.  You can find MarkVision and the Printer
Toolkit on the CD-ROM that came with the printer.

Click an overlay you want to select.  An overlay is highlighted when selected.

Note:   To use this list box, you must have a hard disk option installed in the
        printer, and you must have added it to the Installed Options list box
        on the Configure page.

If the hard disk is removed from the printer and the disk option is removed
from the Installed Options list box on the Configure page, any overlays
previously selected in the Disk Option list box are moved to the Download
Overlays list box.  These overlays are downloaded as required and deleted at
the end of the job.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.5.4.2. Download Overlay Target Window ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

In the Download Overlay Target window, you specify a default path for the
download overlay file.

Areas of the Window

 Source File Name
      Shows the current file name of the overlay.

 Target File Name
      Shows the name used to store the overlay.  The name displayed is the same
      as the source file name you clicked on in the Add Overlays window.  You
      can change the name if you want to store the overlay with a different
      file name.

 Target Path
      Shows the default path where the download overlay file will be stored.
      You can change the path in this field if you want to save the file
      elsewhere.

      Note:   If the path you specify is on a diskette, you must insert that
      diskette into the diskette drive whenever you print a job.

 Nickname
      Lets you enter a nickname that the printer driver will use to refer to
      the added overlay.  This field is optional and is used with non-XL
      graphic modes.

      Tip

          This name could be a name that helps you identify the overlay more
           easily than the file name.

 ID Number
      Lets you enter a unique identification number that the printer driver
      will use to refer to the added overlay. This is used with non-XL graphic
      modes.

      Notes:

          If a number is already associated with the overlay, this field is
           filled.
          If you leave this field blank, the driver assigns a number for you.

 Name
      Lets you enter a name that the printer driver will use to refer to the
      added overlay.  The name is for use with XL/Enhanced graphic mode only.

 Perform Fixups
      Cleans up and converts your file into an overlay macro before copying it
      to the target path.

      Note:   You must have MarkVision* or the Printer Toolkit installed to
      select Perform Fixups.

 OK
      Keeps any changes you have made to settings and closes the window.

      Note:   You must select Save when exiting the Printer Properties notebook
      to send any changed information to the printer driver.

 Cancel
      Discards any changes you have made to settings and closes the window.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Job Properties Notebook ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Print settings that change frequently from job to job (for example,
orientation, resolution, and duplexing) are called job properties.

Job properties are usually set from your application (though not all
applications call these settings job properties).  For example, in some
applications, you display job properties by selecting a Setup or an Options
choice.

Note:   If your application does not provide a way to set job properties, the
printer driver looks for these settings in other locations.  For an explanation
of locations in which you can set job properties and the order in which the
printer looks at each location, see Locating Job Properties.

The Job Properties notebook is made up of several pages and push buttons.  To
view a specific page of the notebook, click the appropriate notebook tab.  To
view pages consecutively, click the controls in the top right corner of any
notebook page.

The notebook settings are for the printer named in the title bar of the Job
Properties window.

The Job Properties notebook contains the following pages and push buttons.
Depending on your printer model, your driver may not contain the Layout page,
the Watermark page, the Color page or the Output page.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.2.4. Printer Fonts ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Select the Printer Fonts check box to indicate whether printer device fonts are
available for graphics data jobs.

With Printer Fonts selected, printing is faster because programs can choose
printer device fonts for your job and a smaller spool file is created than when
systemfonts are used.

Note:   Occasionally, selecting Printer Fonts produces results that are
different on the printer than on the display.  In these cases, deselecting
Printer Fonts may give the best results.

Using Printer Patterns lets jobs containing shaded and patterned areas to print
substantially faster and require smaller spool files.

This feature should not be used if printer output should exactly match patterns
displayed on your screen, or if there are overlapping shaded or patterned
graphics in your document.

Note:   Occasionally, selecting Printer Patterns produces results that are
different on the printer than on the display.  In these cases, deselecting
Printer Patterns may give the best results.

Note:   Occasionally, selecting Fast System Fonts produces results that are

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.2.8. Graphic Mode ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Use this list box to select the graphic mode.

 Auto Select
      Auto Select causes the printer driver to automatically select the Graphic
      Mode based on the active application.
 Raster
      Raster uses the printer's PCL* emulator to process the data describing
      the page to be printed.  When Raster is selected the printer driver sends
      the text content of the page as character strings and sends the graphic
      content as image data.
 GL/2
      GL/2 uses the printer's GL/2 emulator to process the data describing the
      page to be printed.  When GL/2 is selected the printer driver sends the
      text content of the page as character strings and sends the graphic
      content as GL drawing commands.  GL/2 allows faster printing of graphic
      objects, such as lines and circles used in charts and spreadsheets.
 XL/Enhanced
 XL/Enhanced (Monochrome)
      XL/Enhanced uses the printer's enhanced PCL XL emulator to process the
      data for printed pages.  This selection is available on PCL 6 printers.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.2.9. XL/Enhanced ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

XL/Enhanced graphic mode is designed especially for printing complex documents.
Documents that combine printed words and scanned images with special effects
may be reproduced crisper and clearer using XL/Enhanced.  XL/Enhanced works
well with digital imaging and is flexible enough to be compatible with future
applications.  The majority of users, however, will see little advantage using
XL/Enhanced unless they regularly work with the complex documents described
above.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.2.10. Resolution ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Use the Resolution field to select a number, in dots per inch (dpi) increments,
that represents the resolution in which you want graphics produced on your
printer.  You can scroll the list to see all of the settings.

Laser printers process device fonts in the highest available resolution, and
can mix high resolution text with lower resolution graphics.

Select the highest dpi for the best quality.  Because printing high resolution
takes longer, you can use this setting for final documents.

Select a low number to print faster; for example, to produce drafts of
documents.

This option only applies to graphics data jobs; it does not apply to raw data
jobs.

Note:   Depending on the printer's capabilities, there are several controls
        that affect the quality of the printed page.  These include resolution,
        PQET, IET, Image Print Quality, and Bitmap Format.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.2.11. Bitmap Format ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The Bitmap Format setting affects the quality of your printed output because
the data on each output page is converted into a bitmap before printing.

You should match the Bitmap Format setting to the element on your page with the
highest number of bits to get the best print quality.  However, higher Bitmap
Format settings can slow print speed.

Bitmap Format settings available for Color output are:

 4 Bit Color
      Lets you print up to 16 colors.
 8 Bit Color
      Lets you print up to 256 colors.
 24 Bit Color
      Lets you print up to 16.7 million colors.

 Bitmap Format settings available for Monochrome output are:

 Monochrome
      Gray scaling is rendered by the printer driver.
 4 Bit Gray Scale
      Up to 16 colors are rendered to levels of gray by the printer.
 8 Bit Gray Scale
      Up to 256 colors are rendered to levels of gray by the printer.
 24 Bit Gray Scale
      Up to 16.7 million colors are rendered to levels of gray by the printer.

Select Contone to print in a 200 line-per-inch continuous tone mode.

Continuous tone printing gives color output a smoother, better blended
appearance without patterns running through it.

Although Contone provides better print quality, it also takes more time and
printer memory.

Note:   Contone printing eliminates the need for selecting a halftone render
algorithm, therefore the Halftone settings are dimmed in the Custom Color
window when the Contone check box is selected.

improves the print quality of images, halftones, and fills.

Notes:

     IET is only available for 600 dpi printing.
     IET requires additional printer memory and may slow print time.

The Image Print Quality setting is useful for enhancing fine detail within

it is not always obvious if data is sent to the printer as images.  Often,
objects that appear to be text or business graphics are actually sent to the
printer as bitmap images.

choices.

Notes:

     Image Print Quality is only available for 600 dpi printing.
     Choosing Image Print Quality will require additional printer memory and
      may slow print time.
     Image Print Quality eliminates the need for selecting a halftone render

 High Quality
      This color setting causes the transfer drum to rotate an extra revolution
      compared to the High Speed setting.  This reduces speed, but optimizes
      registration of the magenta plane with the other planes, which results in
      higher quality output.

 Note:   Color Registration is active only when Color is the selected Print

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.4.2.1.7. Gamma ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Use the Gamma control to alter the color balance.

Changing the gamma adjusts the amount of toner to either darken or lighten the
output to more closely match the screen.

Decreasing the gamma causes more toner to be applied to the page and darkens
output.  Increasing the gamma causes less toner to be applied to the page and
lightens output.

Gamma settings range from 0.0 to 4.0.  The default setting is 1.0, which leaves
the output unaffected.

Note:   With GL/2 selected, you can control gamma for specific components:
text, lines and areas, and bitmap graphics. With GL/2 deselected, the gamma
setting is the same for all components.

colors more vivid, while values less than zero make colors less intense.  The
default setting is 0, which leaves the output unaffected.

Note:   With GL/2 selected, you can control saturation for specific components:
text, lines and areas, and bitmap graphics. With GL/2 deselected, the
saturation setting is the same for all components.

Code Pages and Symbol Sets:

The code page used for printing is the current system code page or a code page
selected by a program.

Printer device fonts are supported in symbol sets that may or may not
correspond to OS/2* supported code pages.

Fonts listed with a symbol set, in parenthesis, have only the code points from
that symbol set available.  Fonts that are not listed with a symbol set are
available in multiple symbol sets.

If the font is followed by an asterisk (*), the font is an extended symbol set
font and is not supported in OS/2 code pages.  All fonts without an asterisk
are supported in all OS/2 code pages that have characters common with the
fonts's symbol set(s).

Any font listed with [Outline] instead of a numeric point size next to it is a
printer outline font.  You can select the point size for outline fonts using
the Outline Font Pt. Size list box.

      outline fonts, but may have any extension for bitmap fonts.
     Font Metric files, with the extension TFM, which carry the information
      about the font.  These files are required for outline fonts.
     A GLUE.TXT file, which identifies the location of the font support files.
      The GLUE.TXT file is optional for bitmap download fonts.

 When the printer driver installs a download font it creates a file, with the
 extension FMF, which contains the information about the font.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> download overlay ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

An overlay macro copied (downloaded) to printer memory.

See download overlay files.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> download overlay files ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

An overlay is a style of macro that, when active, prints on each page along
with the information desired on the pages.  Predefined forms and letterheads
are examples of overlay macros.

A valid overlay file consists of one of the following scenarios:

     The file begins with a macro ID assignment command followed by the start
      macro definition command.  The file ends with the stop macro definition
      command.
     The file begins with the start macro definition command and ends with the
      stop macro definition command.

 Note:   All commands within the overlay file must be in printer command
 language (PCL* emulation).


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> extended symbol set ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A symbol set that includes characters that do not map to the Presentation
Manager* character set.  Such fonts frequently contain characters such as
graphic characters, special characters, or bar codes.

See also font symbol sets.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> flash memory card ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A special memory card that can be installed in the printer that provides a
location for permanent storage of soft fonts and overlay macros.  This memory
card is unaffected by resets to the printer.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> font ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A given size and style of type.  A family of characters of a given size and
style; for example, 9-point Helvetica*.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> font card files ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Files needed for each font card are typically supplied on a diskette in the
font card package.  The files are frequently installed into a directory (such
as C:\AUTOFONT) by a font installation program.

When you install new font cards, you must specify the drive and directory of
the following files for each card:

     A GLUE.TXT file, which identifies the fonts supported by this card, and
      the location of the font support files.
     Font Metric files, with the extension TFM, which contain the information
      about each font supported by this card.

 When the printer driver installs a font card, it creates a file with the
 extension FCF, which contains the information about each font selected to be
 supported for that card.

 Notes:

     There are IBM* LaserPrinter Font Cards that emulate some Hewlett-Packard*
      LaserJet* series II font cartridges and resident Hewlett-Packard LaserJet
      series IID fonts.  If your IBM LaserPrinter Font Card is not listed in
      the Font Cards window of the printer driver, then contact your Lexmark*
      dealer, point of purchase or your country Lexmark representative, to
      receive the font files necessary for the printer driver to use the font
      card.
     If the Available Cards list is empty, you are missing the file
      PCL5_FCF.DLL, which comes with the printer driver.  This file contains
      the font card metrics for some IBM LaserPrinter Font Cards.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Font Converter ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This utility, available from Lexmark*, converts PCL* 5 Intellifont* (TYP files)
and FAIS format fonts to symbol set bound PCL Encapsulated Outline (PCLEO) soft
fonts.  It also converts TrueType* (TTF files) to symbol set bound PCL
Encapsulated TrueType Outline (PCLETTO) soft fonts.  The PCLETTO fonts are
supported by the printers that provide enhanced PCL 5 emulation.

Follow the Font Converter instructions on installing the font files onto the
hard disk. Make note of the directory where the GLUE.TXT file was stored, for
example: C:\AUTOFONT. When you add new fonts for use with the printer driver,
you must specify the name of the directory containing the GLUE.TXT file.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> font installation program ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Prior to adding a font card or a download font you must install the font files
onto the hard disk.  This may involve running the Autofont Support Installer
(for example: Font Converter), copying files to a specific directory on the
hard disk, or using some other utility.  Follow the instructions with each font
on installing the font files onto the hard disk.  Make note of the directory
where the files are stored, for example: C:\AUTOFONT.

When you add new fonts for use with the printer driver, you must specify the
name of the directory containing the font files.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> font orientation ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This printer driver can create both portrait and landscape fonts from font
files that are in either orientation.  If you have both portrait and landscape
versions of the same font, the font is listed once, but both portrait and
landscape orientations are supported.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> metric file ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A file created by the printer driver to describe a download font or a font
card.  This file is necessary for the font to print.

The metric file for a download font has the extension FMF, and the metric file
for a font card has the extension FCF.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> output destination ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A tray or bin where your printed job will be placed.

The printer comes with one or more standard output bins.

You can purchase output options for some printer models that provide more
output bins and output features, such as stapling.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> outline font ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A font that enables its characters to be shaped with more flexibility (for
example, scaled to different sizes).


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> overlay ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A macro style used in the printer.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> path ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A statement that indicates where a file is stored.  The path consists of the
drive letter and all the directories that must be opened to get to a particular
file.  The directory names are separated by a backslash (\).  The first
backslash represents the root directory.

The first path in the following example shows a file that is located in the
root directory of a diskette in drive A; the second path in the example shows a
path to font files on drive C:

 A:\
 C:\OS2\DLL\PCL5FONT

A path is sometimes followed by a file name and its extension (if there is
one).


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> printer driver ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A file that provides device-independence.  This file describes the physical
characteristics of a printer and is used to convert graphics into
device-specific data at the time of printing.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Printer Toolkit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This utility, supplied on the CD-ROM that came with the printer, provides a
variety of printer-specific utilities, including downloading soft fonts and
overlay macros to the flash memory card or the disk option.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> push button ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A rectangle with text inside.  Push buttons are used in windows for actions
that occur immediately when the push button is selected.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> queue ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A list of jobs waiting to be printed at a particular print destination.

See also spooling.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> radio button ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A circle with text beside it.  Radio buttons are combined to show you a fixed
set of choices from which only one can be selected.  The circle is partially
filled when a choice is selected.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> resolution ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Density or sharpness of an image.

For bitmap material, resolution is expressed in dots per inch, with higher
quality output having more dots per inch.

You can adjust resolution for some printers, although a printer's memory size
might limit the resolution you can choose.  Low-resolution images print faster,
but appear coarser than high-resolution images.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> soft font ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Optional fonts shipped as files.  The soft-font files must be copied to the
hard disk before you can select them from programs.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> spool file ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A file containing output data that has been saved for later processing.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> spooling ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The process of temporarily storing print jobs while waiting for an available
printer or port at a print destination.  Spooling jobs frees system resources
from waiting for a relatively slow device to provide output, and keeps the
contents of each print job separated from the contents of every other print
job.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> symbol set ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A grouping of a set of characters in a specific order.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> system font ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. Procedures ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The following topics give step-by-step instructions for performing some printer
driver tasks:

     Storing Fonts and Overlays at the Printer
     Adding Fonts
     Removing Fonts
     Creating an Overlay
     Adding Overlays
     Printing with an Overlay
     Removing Overlays


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.1. Storing Fonts and Overlays at the Printer ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

You can use any of the following methods to store fonts and overlays at the
printer:

 Printer memory (temporary storage)
      Fonts and overlays can be downloaded (copied) to printer memory and
      stored there until the printer is turned off.  (The amount of memory
      installed in your printer depends on the model you have.  Memory options
      can be installed to increase your printer's memory.)

      For more information about downloading fonts and overlays to printer
      memory, see Download Fonts and Download Overlays.
 Flash memory option (permanent storage)
      Fonts and overlays can be downloaded and stored permanently (unless you
      decide to erase them) onto a flash memory card option, which is purchased
      separately from the printer.  Either MarkVision* or the Printer Toolkit,
      is necessary to download fonts and overlays to the flash memory option.
      You can find MarkVision and the Printer Toolkit on the CD-ROM that came
      with the printer.

      For more information about downloading fonts and overlays to a flash
      memory option, see Flash Memory Option for fonts and Flash Memory Option
      for overlays.
 Disk option (permanent storage)
      Fonts and overlays can be downloaded and stored permanently (unless you
      decide to erase them) onto a hard disk option, which is purchased
      separately from the printer.  Either MarkVision* or the Printer Toolkit
      is necessary to download fonts and overlays to the disk option.  You can
      find MarkVision and the Printer Toolkit on the CD-ROM that came with the
      printer.

      For more information about downloading fonts and overlays to a disk
      option, see Disk Option for fonts and Disk Option for overlays.

     Understanding Font Symbol Sets
     Printer, Queue, and Program Job Properties Setup
     Printer Messages
     Unattended Printer Operation
     Print Timeout Setting
     Locating Job Properties


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.1. Job Types ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The effect of printer or job properties on a job depends on the job type:
Graphics data jobs are created by Presentation Manager* (OS/2*) programs and
typically have a graphical content. Raw data jobs are jobs sent using OS/2
operating system commands such as each of the following:

     PRINT SCREEN key

     COPY /B <file> LPT1

     PRINT <file>

Raw data jobs typically consist of printer command language (PCL*) commands.

The following table lists which Printer Properties or Job Properties are
honored by each type of job.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.2. Understanding Font Symbol Sets ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A symbol set is a unique ordering of the characters in a font.  Some of the
symbol sets contain characters that correspond directly to the Presentation
Manager* (OS/2*) character set.  The abbreviations for these symbol sets, along
with the symbol set names, are as follows:

 PM        PC-850

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.3. Printer, Queue, and Program Job Properties Setup ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The properties that give a print job characteristics such as resolution,
orientation, duplex control, form, and font, can derive from three different
sources:

     If you submit a job (for example, from a DOS session) that does not have
      program-specific characteristics, and does not take on the job properties
      of its queue, the job is printed with the Default Job Properties you
      specified in the Printer Properties window during printer driver setup.

     If you submit a job (for example, from a Presentation Manager* (OS/2*)
      program) that does not specify print-job characteristics, but does take
      on characteristics from its queue, the job is printed with the Job
      Properties you specified for that queue (by selecting the Job Properties
      push button on the Printer driver tab of the printer object's settings
      notebook).

     If your program enables you to set up job properties for a specific print
      file, the job is printed with those characteristics.  Program-specified
      job properties override defaults of either queue or Printer Properties.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.4. Printer Messages ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

If your laser printer issues a message indicating operational failure, check
for the following:

     Memory Full

        -  Caused by a page with dense graphics or a combination of text and
           graphics that exceeds the printer's memory.  Some laser printers
           allow memory compression of images in the printer.  Try turning this
           option on from your printer's operator panel, or try adding more
           memory to the printer.

        -  Caused by more fonts downloaded during the first print job than the
           printer memory can hold.  Try reducing the number of highlighted
           fonts in the Download Fonts list box on the Printer Properties
           Download page, or try adding more memory to the printer.

     Complex Page

        -  Caused by a page with dense graphics or a combination of text and
           graphics that the printer cannot print.  Try reducing the resolution
           of the print job, or try adding more memory to the printer.  If your
           printer has Page Protect capability, you may also want to try
           enabling this setting.

     Forms Mismatch

        -  Load the appropriate form for the job, and then select the Printer
           Properties Setup page.  Use the list boxes in the Form Connections
           group to connect the form and source required by the waiting job.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.5. Unattended Printer Operation ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

To maintain unattended operation of your printer, do not select an Available
Forms choice for the manual paper source or the manual envelope source.  If you
select a form, operator intervention is required if the printer driver prompts
for it.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.6. Print Timeout Setting ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

In some cases, single pages are printed as multiple pages or duplex pages are
printed as simplex pages when the Print Timeout setting is active on the
printer.  Use the printer's operator panel to increase or disable the Print
Timeout setting.  For instructions, refer to the documentation that came with
your printer.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.7. Locating Job Properties ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

If your application does not provide a way to set job properties, the printer
looks for these settings in other places.  If your print jobs are not printing
in the way that you expect, make sure your job properties settings are set
correctly in each of the following places, in the order listed:

   1. The window in which your application lets you select job properties (if
      your application provides a way to set job properties).

   2. The Job Properties notebook displayed from the OS/2* settings notebook of
      your printer object.  (To display the settings notebook, click
      mouse button2 on your printer object, and then select Settings.  When the
      settings notebook is displayed, click the Printer driver tab, and then
      click the Job Properties push button.)

   3. The Job Properties notebook is displayed when you click the Default Job
      Properties push button in the Printer Properties notebook.  (To display
      the Printer Properties notebook, click mouse button 2 on your printer
      object, and then select Settings.  When the settings notebook is
      displayed, click the Printer driver tab, and then double-click the driver
      highlighted in Default printer driver.)

      The settings you select in the Default Job Properties notebook are
      considered default settings because they are used only if the printer
      does not get job properties information first from the application and
      then from the OS/2 printer object.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6. Notebook Push Buttons ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A row of push buttons along the bottom of each notebook (Printer Properties and
Job Properties) helps you control notebook settings.  Whereas the push buttons
you see on each notebook page affect just the settings on that page, the
Notebook Push Buttons affect the settings for the entire notebook.  The
notebook push buttons are:

     Save
     Cancel
     Default Job Properties (on Printer Properties notebook only)
     Default All
     Update (on Printer Properties notebook only)

and then close the window containing the notebook.  If you do not select this

also saves your changes and closes the window.

     Clicking the Default Job Properties push button in the Printer Properties

      notebook, and then selecting save in the Printer Properties notebook.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6.3. Default Job Properties ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Click the Default Job Properties push button to display the Job Properties
notebook.

This notebook lets you select settings that change frequently from job to job
(for example, orientation and duplexing).

Job properties are usually set from your application, though not all
applications call these settings job properties.

For example, in some applications, you display job properties by selecting a
Setup or an Options choice.

Notes:

     If your application does not provide a way to set job properties, the
      printer looks for these settings in other locations.  For an explanation
      of locations in which you can set job properties and the order in which
      the printer looks at each location, see Locating Job Properties.
     Clicking the Default Job Properties push button does not display the same
      settings as those displayed when you click the Job properties push button
      on the OS/2* settings notebook.  For an explanation of locations in which
      you can set job properties and the order in which the printer looks at
      each location, see Locating Job Properties.
     If you reach Job Properties by clicking the Default Job Properties push
      button in the Printer Properties notebook, you save changes by first
      selecting Save in the Job Properties notebook, and then selecting save in
      the Printer Properties notebook.

      If you reach Job Properties by clicking the Job Properties push button on
      the Printer driver tab of the printer object's settings notebook, you
      save changes by selecting Save in the Job Properties notebook.
