This driver is for use with IBM OS/2 versions 2.1 and higher ONLY. It operates
the printers in Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet series III printer command
language (PCL 5) mode and supports the multiple graphic resolutions, multiple
paper sources, font cards, download fonts available and download overlays.
To use this printer driver with an IBM 4029 series printer, you must have a
PCL5 Emulation Option installed.
NOTE: To determine your OS/2 level, type SYSLEVEL at the
command prompt in an OS/2 window or Full Screen.
See Section V, UPDATING THE IBMPCL5 DEVICE DRIVER IN A
LAN ENVIRONMENT at the bottom of this file for additional
information concerning installation in a local area
network environment.
II. PREPARING THE IBMPCL5 DEVICE DRIVER
-----------------------------------
When you executed the self-extracting file, OS32P5E.EXE, the following 4 files
were created:
README.1ST This file.
IBMPCL5.DR_ The Presentation Manager printer driver that supports
PM and non-PM applications.
IBMPCL5.EA_ On-line information on setup and use of the IBMPCL5
driver.
AVEXTRA.TXT
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.
III. INSTALLING THE IBMPCL5 DEVICE DRIVER ON OS/2 VERSION 2.1+
------------------------------------------------------------
The following steps must be followed to correctly install the IBMPCL5
device driver on OS/2 Version 2.1 and higher:
1. If the IBMPCL5 device driver is already installed on your system, you
must do the following two actions prior to installing the new version
of the IBMPCL5 printer driver:
* Print or cancel all jobs in all queues that use the IBMPCL5 device
driver.
* Shutdown your system by pointing to an open area on the desktop and
clicking mouse button 2. From the pop-up menu that will appear,
select SHUTDOWN. When a message appears that says that the
system has been shutdown, restart your system (press and hold CTRL
and ALT and press DELETE).
2. If you are installing the printer driver for use with an existing
printer object, follow the instructions outlined in section III.A
below.
3. If you want to create a new printer object when you install this
printer driver, follow the instructions in section III.B below.
III.A. INSTALLING THE IBMPCL5 DEVICE DRIVER ON AN EXISTING PRINTER OBJECT
------------------------------------------------------------------
1. To install this new device driver on the existing printer object,
point to the object and click mouse button 2. This will open the
pop-up menu.
Installing the 32-bit driver over an older 16-bit driver should work
the same as installing a newer version of the 16-bit driver.
Since the drivers share the same name they also share the same driver
data and ini data.
2. Select the arrow to the right of OPEN; then select SETTINGS for OS/2
2.X, for OS/2 3.X and later just select SETTINGS.
3. Select the PRINTER DRIVER tab.
4. Display the pop-up menu for any printer object in the window by
pointing to the object and clicking mouse button 2.
5. Select INSTALL.
6. Insert the diskette containing the IBMPCL5 driver into drive A. Make
sure that the directory field in the window contains A:\. Then select
REFRESH.
7. Available Printer Driver Objects will be shown in the window. Select
the printer driver that matches your printer.
8. Select INSTALL.
9. A message is displayed when the driver has been successfully installed.
Select OK.
10. Close the "Install New Printer Driver" window. Select the IBMPCL5
driver that you have just installed as your default printer driver.
Printer driver installation is now complete; continue with Section IV.B,
SETTING UP THE IBMPCL5 DEVICE DRIVER AND PRINTER ON OS/2 VERSION
2.1+.
III.B. INSTALLING THE IBMPCL5 DEVICE DRIVER WHILE CREATING A NEW PRINTER
OBJECT
------------------------------------------------------------------
1. To create a new printer object as you install this new device driver,
double-click on the OS/2 system object to open the icon view.
2. Double-click on DRIVES.
3. Insert the diskette containing the IBMPCL5 device driver into the A
drive.
4. In the Drives window, double-click on drive A. A window appears that
contains objects for the contents of the diskette.
5. Double-click on the IBMPCL5.DR_ object. A window appears from which
you can select the printer model you want.
6. Drag the printer model from the window out to an available place on
your desktop.
7. Depending on which driver you are installing, a message may appear.
The message will ask if you want to install the Win-OS/2 driver. You
must have your OS/2 diskettes to install the Win-OS/2 driver. If you
choose to install the Win-OS/2 driver, select YES and follow the
instructions; otherwise, select NO.
8. Close the windows that were opened as you installed the driver.
9. To change the name of the printer object, press and hold the ALT key
while you click on the object name with mouse button 1. In the name
field of the next window displayed, enter the printer name that you
prefer. Click mouse button 1 while pointing to an open area of the
desktop to accept the new name.
Printer driver installation is now complete; continue with Section IV,
SETTING UP THE IBMPCL5 DEVICE DRIVER AND PRINTER ON OS/2 VERSION 2.1+.
IV. SETTING UP THE IBMPCL5 DEVICE DRIVER ON OS/2 VERSION 2.1 OR LATER
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The following steps should be followed before printing is attempted
to ensure the driver settings match the configuration of your printer.
1. Display the pop-up menu for the printer object by pointing to it and
clicking mouse button 2.
2. Select the arrow to the right of OPEN; then select SETTINGS for OS/2
2.X, for OS/2 3.X and later just select SETTINGS.
3. Select the Printer Driver tab.
4. Open the pop-up menu for the IBMPCL5 device driver by clicking on the
object with mouse button 2.
5. Select the arrow to the right of open, then select SETTINGS. The next
window is titled with the name of the printer you chose. On this
window, you can:
* Select the settings that describe the physical setup of your
printer.
* Select the default characteristics for print jobs.
* Select FORM CONNECTIONS... to specify the forms installed in each
paper tray on the printer.
* Select FONT CARDS... to specify any font cards you have for the
printer.
* Select DOWNLOAD FONTS... to specify any download fonts you have for
the printer.
* Select OVERLAYS... to specify any download fonts you have for the
printer.
Note that the Driver Version is shown in this window.
After you have completed these settings, select OK to save this
configuration.
6. Close the printer settings window.
The printer driver setup is now complete.
V. UPDATING THE IBMPCL5 DEVICE DRIVER IN A LAN ENVIRONMENT
-------------------------------------------------------
For proper operation in Local Area Network environments in which the Lexmark
printer is attached to the network server, the later version of the
IBMPCL5 printer driver must be installed on the server before it is installed
on any requester. The later version (2.544) is able to use
driver data coming from a requester with an earlier version (1.209b or 2.511).
It is possible to have the 16-bit driver (v1.209b) on a requester and the
32-bit driver (v2.544) on a server (or vice versa) without problems.
NOTE: Follow the steps in Section IV, SETTING UP THE IBMPCL5 DEVICE DRIVER,
to determine the driver version currently installed.
The 32-bit driver requires the following CSD level when used in a IBM
LAN Server environment:
Requesters and server at LS CSD 6030 or later when used with LAN Server 2.0.
Requesters and server at LS CSD 7001 or later when used with LAN Server 3.0.
NOTE: To determine your CSD level, type SYSLEVEL at the
command prompt in an OS/2 window or Full Screen.
Contact IBM for information on the availability of needed OS/2 versions.
