- II. Printing Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) Files in Windows 3.1
- ================================================================
- An orientation change was made in the Windows 3.1 PostScript driver
- that may change the printing of Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files.
- If you have EPS files that do not print in the correct orientation,
- you can solve the problem by making the following change to the
- WIN.INI file in the \WINDOWS directory. This change should be
- made with a text editor like Notepad, not a formatting editor like
- Word for Windows. See the WININI.TXT file in your \WINDOWS directory
- for additional information. You should use extreme care when editing
- your WIN.INI file, as it contains not only printer information, but
- other information that defines your Windows configuration.
-
- 1. Locate the bracketed "[]" printer entry in the WIN.INI
- file. It will typcially look like:
- [Lexmark Optra PS,LPT1]
- feed1=1
- feed2=1
- feed4=1
- feed5=20
- EpsFile=
- margins=510
-
- 2. Add the following line beneath the bracketed entry:
- LandScapeOrient=270
-
- 3. Exit and re-enter Windows to activate the change.
-
-
-
- III. Envelope Printing in Windows 3.1
- =====================================
- When you design or print an envelope, you must select landscape
- orientation. This will ensure that the address prints in the
- correct position on the envelope. To change the orientation to
- Landscape, make the appropriate selections from the Printer Setup
- or Page Setup dialog box in your application.
-
- If you are using AmiPro, you may have to add the following line to
- the AMIPRO2.INI file in the \WINDOWS subdirectory:
-
- chgpapersize=yes
-
- Please be sure and follow the instructions in Section II above on
- how to edit .INI files.
-
-
-
- IV. Paper Sources and Sizes
- ============================
- The Windows 3.1 PostScript Printer Driver supports the following paper
- sources:
- Printer Setup dialog box Printer
- ------------------------ -------
- Upper Tray Tray 1
- Lower Tray Tray 2
- Manual Feed Manual Paper
- Envelope Feed Feeder
- Envelope Manual Manual Envelope
- Auto Select
-
- Auto Select: If you choose Auto Select as paper source, the printer
- will select the paper tray with the desired paper size
- for you. If it cannot find the desired paper size, it
- will prompt you for it.
- Envelope Feed: If the desired paper size does not match the paper size
- set for the envelope tray via the operator panel or a
- previous job (printer setting), the printer will check the
- other available paper sources for the correct size. If it
- cannot find the desired paper size, it will prompt you for
- it.
- Upper Tray or
- Lower Tray: If you choose Upper or Lower Tray as paper source, the
- printer will NOT check the paper size. It will image (clip)
- the page according to the desired size (the size selected
- by you) on the paper found in the selected tray. If the
- paper tray is empty, the printer will prompt for the size
- set for the tray (which may or may not be the desired size).
-
- Some applications' Printer or Page Setup settings do not override the
- printer settings of the Windows Control Panel properly. If your printer
- does not seem to pick the correct paper tray or size, make sure these
- settings match: close the application; click on Control Panel and then on
- Printers; select your printer and click on Setup; then select Paper Source
- and Size; click on OK, close the Control Panel, and restart the application.
-
-
- V. Installation Instructions
- ==============================
-
- Take the following steps to install the new PostScript driver and
- the associated WPD file for your printer.
-
- 1. Start Windows 3.1.
-
- 2. Insert the diskette with the new driver in the a: drive.
-
- 3. From the Main window, select the Control Panel.
-
- 4. At the Control Panel, click on Printers. The Printers dialog
- box is displayed.
-
- 5. If you already have a PostScript printer installed, you should
- check and note down the version number of the currently installed
- driver since the Windows installation utility sometimes does not
- recognize the relative newness of drivers correctly and therefore
- may issue an erroneous message in the course of the installation
- process (see step 9 below). To find out the version number, click
- on Setup and then on About. Click on OK and then on Cancel to get
- back to the Printers dialog box.
-
- 6. Select the Add button.
-
- 7. The List of Printers field is displayed. Highlight "Install
- Unlisted or Updated Printer" and select the Install button.
-
- 8. The Install Driver window is displayed. Select OK.
-
- 9. The Add Unlisted or Updated Printer window is displayed.
- Highlight your printer and then select OK.
- If your printer was previously installed,
- you will be asked which port connection you want to use.
- Select the Current button.
-
- If the message "The currently installed PSCRIPT.DRV is newer...
- than the one you are attempting to install. Do you still want to
- install the file?" is displayed, you need to check if this message
- is indeed correct. Compare the version number you noted down in step 5
- above (the version number of the currently installed driver) with
- the one of the driver included in this package (see I. above for
- the version number) and decide which driver you want.
-
- If you want to keep the currently installed driver, click on No.
- Only the WPD file for your printer will be copied to your
- Windows\System subdirectory.
-
- If you want to install the driver in this package, click on Yes.
- The updated PSCRIPT.DRV file, the PSCRIPT.HLP file, and
- the WPD file for your printer will be copied to your Windows\System
- subdirectory.
-
-
-
-
- 10. Your printer will show up on the Installed Printers list.
- Highlight it and select the Connect button.
-
- 11. At the Connect dialog box, highlight the appropriate printer
- port (normally LPT1:) and select the OK button. You will
- return to the Printers dialog box.
-
- 12. Select the Setup button. The setup box for your printer will
- appear. In this box you may select printer default settings for
- orientation, paper source, paper size, etc. Acknowledge your
- choices by selecting OK. This will return you to the Printers
- dialog box.
-
- 13. If you wish to make your printer the currently active printer,
- select the Set As Default Printer button.
-
- 14. Select the Close button to return to the Control Panel.
- Installation of your printer driver is complete.
