Installing under OS/2 2.x
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you have a previous version of the LBP-x60C driver already installed on your
system, you must perform the following steps before proceeding with the
installation.
1. Open a printer driver icon's settings dialog
2. Delete any installed LBP-x60C drivers shown on the printer drivers list,
either by dragging to the shredder or by selecting "Delete" on the
icon's menu. When deleting the last driver icon, allow the system
to delete the driver file as well
To install the new driver from the installation disk, you should perform
the following steps
1. Open the drive icon containing the installation disk
2. Open the LBP-x60C printer driver icon (labelled "LBPX60C.DRV"). (The
system may take a long time to open the icon, please wait.) The
system will display a window containing the Canon printer device names
3. Select the icon most appropriate for your printer and drag the icon
onto the desktop. This will install the printer driver on your system
and create a queue to the printer. (The system may not position the
printer icon at the place where you dropped it on the desktop.)
4. Open the settings dialog on the printer icon and configure the settings
according to your printer environment (i.e. output port, paper size,
font cards, etc.)
If the system fails to copy the new driver to your hard disk it is probably
due to a previous version of the driver being locked. Reboot your system
and try the installation procedure again.
Application Notes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Graduated polygon fills are time-consuming under Corel Draw. When printing
pictures containing such objects, ensure the "Fountain Stripes" value
on the Print dialog is set to the minimum value that will produce a
reasonable quality. For most pictures a value between 8 and 16 should
suffice. Increase the value for pictures with high contrast.
