Parallel Printing 1) Parallel Printing - Sometimes print jobs don't print when the print job is sent to the printer's parallel port. The paragraphs below explain what to do to correct this problem. The ADOBEPS 3.0.1 printer driver is configured by default for binary communications. Send Data in Binary on the PostScript Setup tab dialog is turned on by default. The communication switch for the Color LaserWriter is located on the back of the printer. The printer is shipped from the factory with the switch in the right or "Custom" position. Should the switch be reset to factory defaults by moving it to the left or "Reset" position and then back to the Custom position, the communications protocol for the printer's parallel port may be incorrectly changed to ASCII. Because of this, print jobs sent from the AdobePS driver with Send Data in Binary turned on do not print. There are two work-arounds for this problem. You can turn off the PostScript driver's Send Data in Binary parameter. Doing so causes the driver to send ASCII data. Alternatively, you can use the Apple Printer Utility to set the protocol back to binary (TBCP). To do this: 1. Open the Apple LaserWriter Software folder, double-click the Apple Printer Utility, select the desired printer, and open it. 2. Select the Communication Configuration panel and then select Port Configuration. For the Protocol field, select TBCP. Then, press Send. The printer's protocol should now be set to binary (TBCP). 3. This procedure must be performed each time the communication switch is reset. 2) NetWare Rprinter Printer Number - Your printer may support Auto assignment of Rprinter number only. About the Demonstration Page When the power is turned on, the Color LaserWriter automatically prints a startup page and a demonstration page. For legal and B5 paper sizes, only the startup page prints; the demonstration page is not printed. You can use the Apple Printer Utility to turn off the printing of the startup and demonstration pages. About the Apple Color LaserWriter Status Panel As described in the Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS manual, Appendix G, the status panel lights aid in indicating hardware service problems found during printer startup. If the Alert light is flashing and all the door lights are flashing, check all the printer doors; one of them is open. If the Paper OUT and Paper Jam lights are flashing alternately, a hardware problem has been detected. To identify the problem, notice which toner lights (C, M, Y, Bk) and how many of the maintenance lights (in the area on the right-hand side of the status panel) are on, and refer to the table below. Each area listed under "Problem" represents a general circuit area for the service technician to investigate, not necessarily the exact cause of the problem. Toner # Consumable Problem Lights On Lights On C 0 I/O Controller Boar C 1 SIMM, Slot J11 C 2 SIMM, Slot J10 M 2 Hard Drive M 3 I/O Controller ROM Y 0 Fuser Y 1 Oil Pump in Fuser Y 2 Thermal Sensor in Fuser Y 3 Paper Feed Unit Bk 0 DC Controller Bk 1 Power Supply Bk 2 Toner Carousel Bk 3 Laser/Sanner Circuit M & Bk 0 Main Motor M & Bk 1 Drum Motor M & Bk 2 Laser/Scanner C & Bk 0 Controller Fan C & Bk 1 Fuser Fan C & Bk 2 Main Fan If you have an external SCSI hard disk drive attached but don't turn it on before you turn on the printer's power, the printer may indicate a hardware failure. To correct the problem, turn the hard disk drive on and restart the printer. Using NetWare Banner Pages The Color LaserWriter is a PostScript printer only. If you are using NetWare 4.x, use PostScript banner pages only. If you use another type of banner page, your print job as well as the banner page will not print. Do not use banner pages at all with NetWare 3.x. If you do, neither the banner page nor your print job will print. Printing Over Novell Networks By default, binary PostScript sent via the Novell network is encoded in Tagged Binary Communications Protocol (TBCP). The printer's TBCP filtering mode for Novell is also on by default. If you change the Protocol Options to "None" from the Printer Control Panel's PostScript setup, you must send the following PostScript to turn off TBCP filtering for Novell on the printer: true 0 startjob (%PrintServer%) <</Filtering /None>> setdevparams If you subsequently change the Protocol Option back to "Default", you must send the following PostScript to turn on TBCP filtering for Novell on the printer: true 0 startjob (%PrintServer%) <</Filtering /InterpreterBased>> setdevparams The Novell filtering mode cannot be changed within a PostScript job, so the above PostScript sets the filtering mode outside the job context; thus it becomes permanent. If your printer's password has been changed from the default setting, replace the "true 0 startjob" line with "true <your password> startjob". Obtaining the Best Results for Business Graphics To obtain the best results for business graphics, colors should be 100% saturated. For example, to print pure yellow, define yellow as 100% red and 100% green without any blue. Then print your document, ensuring the Send Full Color Data option on the Job Control tab dialog is selected. Printing on Legal-Size Paper In the standard memory configuration, the Color LaserWriter uses a higher compression technique for legal-sized paper using only the cyan, magenta, and yellow color planes. As a result of this compression technique, very complex pages may show missing pixels in fine lines or small text, "jaggies" (edges with low-resolution appearance) and color changes. To improve the image quality of such pages, you can increase the printer's memory to 16 MB or more. With at least 16 MB of printer memory, the Color LaserWriter can achieve the same quality with legal-size pages as with letter and A4 sizes using all four color planes (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black.) Printing Images on the Color LaserWriter Printer The Color LaserWriter printer's highest resolution for printing images is 150 x 150 dpi. No gain in image quality is achieved if higher resolution images are used. All other types of documents print at 600 x 600 dpi. Avoiding Hue Shifts When Printing to File When you save an image in an Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file all the PostScript settings relating to the original output device in effect are saved along with the image data. When the image is printed later, the settings that were in effect may cause major hue shifts. To prevent these hue shifts save the image in TIFF format instead of EPS. The Density Control Panel The Color LaserWriter has been adjusted at the factory to produce the best possible image quality. However, small variations exist among different printers. To make subtle changes to image quality, you can use the Density Control Panel on the back of the printer. NOTE: If changing the settings produces inferior image quality, return to the factory settings by following these steps: Select each color using the Color Select button, then press the - or + button to move the indicator light to the center position. When the indicator is in the center, press Enter to make the setting permanent. Repeat this procedure for all four colors. Printer's Processor Speed In the printer manual, Appendix A may contain a typographical error: the microprocessor speed is 30 MHz, not 25 MHz as printed. Using the Color LaserWriter with a Windows NT Server - Using a Windows NT Server may cause spurious job records to be entered in the printer's Job Log if the printer is busy. The jobs will have a status of "cancelled". Turning Off Unused Printer Interfaces - You may want to turn off unused printer interfaces with the Apple Printer Utility. To ensure best results power-cycle the Color LaserWriter after you turn off a printer interface. APPLE LASERWRITER 12/640 PS PRINTER TIPS Printer Memory Requirements If you will be using PhotoGrade or the optional Duplex Printing Unit, you may need to add memory. The printer uses SIMMs that can be purchased from many electronics and computer outlets. See the section "RAM Upgrade Specifications" in Appendix D of your user's manual for more information. Total memory requirements for the possible configurations that require additional memory are: PhotoGrade - 12 MB Duplex Printing Unit - 12 MB PhotoGrade and Duplex Printing Unit for all paper sizes except legal - 20 MB PhotoGrade and Duplex Printing Unit for all paper sizes - 24 MB Using PhotoGrade and the Duplex Printing Unit If your printer has at least 12 MB of memory but less than 24 MB, you cannot always use PhotoGrade and the Duplex Printing Unit at the same time (see "Printer Memory Requirements" above). A user interface switch in printer Setup allows you to switch between PhotoGrade and two-sided printing. If you have PhotoGrade selected, two-sided printing is disabled. If you want to use two-sided printing, turn off PhotoGrade, then make your two-sided printing selection. Similarly, if you have two-sided printing selected, you must first deselect it; then the user interface will allow you to select PhotoGrade. About the Duplex Printing Unit and the Multipurpose Tray The LaserWriter 12/640 PS does not allow the multipurpose tray to be used with the Duplex Printing Unit. The printer driver user interface provides a user interface switch that allows you to switch between the multipurpose tray and two-sided printing. If you have the multipurpose tray selected, two-sided printing is disabled. If you want to use two-sided printing, select a tray other than the multipurpose tray, then make your two-sided printing selection. Similarly, if you have two-sided printing selected, you must first deselect it; then the user interface will allow you to select the multipurpose tray. About Paper Jams and the Multipurpose Tray If you are printing from the multipurpose tray and your printer jams, check that you are specifying the correct paper size in your page setup. The printer may jam if you select the multipurpose tray and have the wrong size paper in the multipurpose tray for the job that you are printing. Using the Envelope Feeder By default, the multipurpose tray takes priority over the envelope feeder. However, if the multipurpose tray has the same paper size as the envelope feeder, the printer will pull the paper from the multipurpose tray instead of the envelope feeder. Use one of these methods to have the printer use the envelope feeder as the paper source: -Pick the envelope tray as the paper source in the Print dialog box. The envelope tray is identified as "Envelope Feeder." -Set the multipurpose tray to a size other than the desired envelope size using the Apple LaserWriter Utility. -Make "Cassette (Optional)" Installed and Preferred in the printer's Setup. From Setup select the Features tab dialog box and make Cassette (Optional) Installed and Preferred.

Installing Additional PostScript Printers Using Their PPDs 1) Your CD contains all the PostScript Printer Description (PPD) files for the Apple LaserWriter printers supported under Windows 3.1 in directory Win31\Disk2. Alternatively, you can install the desired PPD from a floppy disk. Insert the CD or disk containing the PPD to be installed in the drive. 2) In the Control Panel of the Windows Program Manager, double-click the Adobe PostScript Printers icon. The Adobe PostScript Printers dialog box appears. 3) In the Drives list box, select the drive and path containing the PPD that you wish to install. 4) In the Printer Descriptions Available list box, select the print model that you wish to install. 5) Click Install. You can continue to install PPDs by selecting entries in the Printer Descriptions Available list box and clicking Install. 6) Click Close when you have installed all the desired PPDs. Deleting Previous Versions of the Driver Software You are not required to remove previous versions of the driver or delete any previously installed PostScript printers. However, if you suspect installation problems, first remove your installed printers from the Printers dialog box in the Control Panel and reinstall them via the Adobe PostScript Printers dialog box, also in the Control Panel. You can use the Installer's de-install options to remove individual pieces of the software. For each component you de-install be sure to specify the correct path where the software is located. If you do not specify a path, de-install uses the default path. To delete a previous version of the AdobePS driver: 1) Exit Windows. 2) From DOS, delete the following files (not all files may actually exist in your configuration) from both your WINDOWS and WINDOWS\SYSTEM directories: *.EBF *.PPB *.PPD *.PFM (delete these ONLY if you did not place them here using the ATM control panel or a font installation program) ADOBEPS?.* RUN_ENUM.* PSINSTDV.EXE WINDOWN.EXE PS_ENUM.* DOWN.DLL DWN.HLP 3) Restart Windows to use Notepad or another ASCII text editor to delete the following entries from the WIN.INI file in the WINDOWS directory: [<printer_name>,<port>] <<<Delete this line PrinterName=<printer_nickname> <<<Delete this line [devices] <printer_name>=ADOBEPS,<port>,...<<<Delete this line [PrinterPorts] <printer_name>=ADOBEPS,<port>,15,45,...<<<Delete this line If the device= line in the [windows] section of the Win.INI file refers to AdobePS, delete that line. INSTALLING THE PRINTER DRIVER ON WINDOWS NT 3.5 These instructions install the printer on an Intel architecture Windows NT 3.5x Workstation. If you have a Windows NT 3.5x Server or other computer architecture, see the next section below. Follow the steps below to install the PostScript Printer Description file for these Apple printers: Color LaserWriter 12/660 PS Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS Apple LaserWriter 12/640 PS Apple LaserWriter 16/600 PS Apple LaserWriter Select 360 Apple LaserWriter Pro 600 Apple LaserWriter Pro 630 l) Start Windows NT 3.5. 2) Insert the Apple LaserWriter CD-ROM 1.0 into the CD-ROM drive. 3) Using File Manager, open the directory on the CD called Win_os\Win31_NT\Disk1. 4) Double-click the setup.exe file. 5) The Welcome screen appears. 6) Select Custom Install and click Windows NT Printer Software.

Installing the Printer on a Windows NT 3.5x Server or non-Intel computer architecture Follow the steps below to install the software on a Windows NT 3.5x Server or non-Intel computer architecture. 1) Copy the PRINTER.INF and .PPD files located in the D:\Win_OS\Win31_NT\Disk2 directory of your CD-ROM to a temporary directory on your hard disk drive. This example uses C:\TEMP as the temporary directory. If you are installing onto a Windows NT 3.5x Server also follow these steps: a. Open the PRINTER.INF file with NOTEPAD.EXE. b. Search for the [Source Media Description] session. c. Comment out the line for the NT Workstation and uncomment the line for the NT Server. Save the file and exit NOTEPAD. 2) Put your Windows NT CD in the CD-ROM drive. This example uses D: as the CD-ROM drive. 3) Double-click on the "MS-DOS command prompt" icon in the Main program group. 4) Change your CD directory to the appropriate architecture by typing these commands: D: CD \i386 Directory \i386 is for the Intel architecture. You will need to change this directory according to your system. For example, \PPC is for a computer with a PowerPC architecture. 5) Expand the PostScript driver components to your temporary directory. The following command expands the files: expand -r pscr*.* c:\temp Five files are expanded to your temporary directory. The names of the files are PSCRIPT.CNT, PSCRIPT.DLL, PSCRIPT.HLP, PSCRIPT.SEP, AND PSCRIPTUI.DLL. 6) Double-click Print Manager (located in the Main program group). 7) Select Create Printer from the Print Manager's Printer menu. The Create Printer dialog box appears. 8) Select Other (at the bottom of the list) in the Driver Combo box. 9) Type the location of your PRINTER.INF file when prompted by the install Driver dialog box. A list of printer drivers appears. 10) Select the printer driver that corresponds to your printer and click OK. 11) Follow the instructions on the screen. Click Continue and OK to complete the installation. INSTALLING THE PRINTER DRIVER ON WINDOWS NT 4.0 You can use the Windows NT 4.0 Add Printer Wizard to install the PostScript printer driver for these printers: Color LaserWriter 12/660 PS Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS LaserWriter 12/640 PS LaserWriter 16/600 PS Follow these steps: 1) If you are installing from the Apple LaserWriter CD-ROM, first copy the APLWNT40.INF and the .PPD files located on the CD at d:\WIN_OS\WIN31_NT\DISK2 to your local hard drive. If you are installing from a floppy disk set, insert the floppy disk titled "For Windows 3.1 Printer Software for Apple LaserWriter Printers with PostScript Version 3 Disk 2" into the floppy disk drive. Note: Be sure to copy APLWNT40.INF and not PRINTER.INF which is for Windows NT 3.5 only. 2) Open the Windows NT 4.0 Printers folder by clicking on the "Start" menu followed by "Settings" and then "Printers". 3) Double-Click on the "Add Printer" icon and follow the instructions. 4) The list of known printers appears in the "Add Printer Wizard" window. Click on the "Have Disk..." button. 4) The "Install From Disk" dialog box appears and asks for the source directory. Select the proper drive letter and directory where the PPD files and the APLWNT40.INF files are located. Press "OK". 5) A list of printer models appears. Select the desired printer model and press the "Next" button. 6) Follow the prompt of the Add Printer Wizard for port selection. 7) Next, the Add Printer Wizard asks for the source directory for the PostScript printer driver. Insert the Windows NT 4.0 CD into your CD-ROM drive and enter the path to the directory containing the PostScript printer driver files. For the Intel architecture, the path is d:\386\. Four files are copied from the Windows NT 4.0 CD: PSCRIPT.DLL, PSCRIPTUI.DLL, PSCRIPT.HLP, and PSCRIPT.CNT. If you are sure you have installed the PostScript printer driver into your system, then you can use the "Browse..." button to browse through the directory structures to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SPOOL\DRIVERS\w32x86\ and then press the "OK" button. 8) Continue as instructed by the Add Printer Wizard to finish the installation. ABOUT THE APPLE PRINTER UTILITY 2.0.3 To set printer parameters for the Color LaserWriter 12/660 PS and the Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS, use the Apple Printer Utility for Windows. For other Apple printers, use the Apple LaserWriter Utility for Windows. Installing the Apple Printer Utility - The Apple Printer Utility is installed as part of Express Installation and is placed on your computer in the Apple LaserWriter Software program group. Using the Apple Printer Utility on the Parallel Port - When you select the Parallel setting for the Apple Printer Utility, it takes about 20 seconds for the printer name to appear. There is also a delay if you configure the Ethernet configuration within Communication Settings via parallel. Opening dialog boxes within the Apple Printer Utility - Use the checkboxes to open individual dialog boxes within the Apple Printer Utility. Using the Apple Printer Utility with FaxWorks - The Apple Printer Utility may be incompatible with FaxWorks. The symptom that may appear is a General Protection Fault in the FaxWorks communication driver, FX-COMM.DRV. Using the default Microsoft communication driver (COMM.DRV) appears to solve the problem. To use the Microsoft COMM.DRV edit the SYSTEM.INI file. Change the line "comm.drv=fx-comm.drv" to "comm.drv=comm.drv", save and close the file, and then restart your system. ABOUT THE APPLE PRINT MONITOR 1.0.1 You can use the Apple Print Monitor for Windows only with the Apple Color LaserWriter 12/660 PS and the Apple Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS to monitor print jobs. For other Apple printers, use the print monitor provided with Windows. Installing the Apple Print Monitor for Windows - The Apple Print Monitor is installed as part of the Express Installation. Monitoring Parallel Port Print Jobs - Printing performance of graphics files using the Parallel port will be improved if you turn off the Apple Print Monitor. Print Job Deletion - After deleting a print job, the Apple Print Monitor does not update its Printer Queue window. ABOUT THE APPLE LASERWRITER UTILITY FOR WINDOWS Use the Apple LaserWriter Utility with these printers only: Apple LaserWriter 12/640 PS Apple LaserWriter 16/600 PS Apple LaserWriter Pro 600 PS Apple LaserWriter Pro 630 PS Apple LaserWriter Select 360 Default printer - The Apple LaserWriter Utility writes to the default printer, so before using the utility be sure that the default printer is pointing to the printer that you want to configure. Using NetWare configuration (for printers that support NetWare) - Be sure not to turn off your printer while you are using any function on the Apple LaserWriter Utility's NetWare menu. If you turn off your printer while using these functions, your computer will hang. If you need to power off your printer, do so after you exit from the NetWare menu. PCL mode - The Apple LaserWriter Utility uses PostScript commands to set the printer parameters. If the printer has been set to PCL, PostScript commands sent by the utility will not be recognized by the printer. To correct this, place your printer's communication switch in the factory default position and restart the printer. This returns the printer to AutoSelect mode and PostScript commands will now be processed by the printer. INITIAL NOVELL NETWARE SETUP FOR NETWARE 4.1 Setting up the printer as a print server NetWare 4.1 introduces the concept of a hierarchical tree database, called NetWare Directory Services (NDS). NDS is different from the flat file database called the "Bindery" used in earlier versions of NetWare. A NetWare command, SET BINDERY CONTEXT, allows a single level of the NDS directory tree to be specified as a virtual Bindery location. Each time you use the NetWare 4.1 file server, set the file server's bindery context by typing SET BINDERY CONTEXT at the console prompt. The superuser account name also changes with NetWare 4.xx to Admin from NetWare 3.xx's name of Supervisor. The Supervisor account still exists in NetWare 4.xx for backward compatibility, but it can't actually be seen in the NDS directory tree. The Admin account gives you full access to the entire NetWare Directory Services tree. The Supervisor account will only let you see objects that are in its bindery context location in the tree. When following the steps below for setting up your printer on NetWare 4.1 as PSERVER always use the NetWare Admin account. There are five parts to setting up a LaserWriter that supports NetWare for PSERVER mode: Part A - Create a print server. Part B - Create a printer. Part C - Create a print queue. Part D - Set your printer to PSERVER mode. Part E - Turn the printer off and then back on to have the changes take effect. Part A - Create a print server 1) Power-cycle the printer to print a startup page. Obtain the NetWare Printer Name. This is the name of the printer on a NetWare network. It is also the default print server name. 2) Type SET BINDERY CONTEXT at the NetWare file server's console prompt to ensure that the context has been set. Write the context down, as it will be needed later. 3) Log in to the NetWare file server from a DOS client using the Admin account. 4) At the DOS prompt, type PCONSOLE and press ENTER. 5) Use the arrow keys to highlight Change Context in the menu, and press Enter. 6) Change the PCONSOLE utility's context to match the context set on the server (what you wrote down earlier), by pressing the Insert key, and selecting the correct context. 7) Use the arrow keys to highlight Print Servers in the menu, and press Enter. 8) Press the Insert key, then type the NetWare Printer Name (provided on the printer's startup page), and press Enter. The print server is created. Part B - Create a Printer 1) Select the name of the print server you specified in the previous procedure and press Enter. 2) Use the arrow keys to highlight Printers in the Print Server Information menu, and press Enter (this will let you configure the new print server). 3) Press the Insert key to display printers in your current context in the NetWare Directory Services tree. Note: You may have created a printer earlier. This example assumes that the printer has not yet been created. 4) Press the Insert key to create a new printer in the NetWare Directory Services tree. Make sure that the context listed at the top of the screen still lists the server's bindery context that was set earlier. If not, change to the correct context before creating the printer. 5) At the prompt, type the new printer name and press Enter. This name will be used for reference, so use a name that will be meaningful to the NetWare administrator, or other users who may wish to check on the printer's status. This step creates the printer object in the NDS tree. 6) Select the name of the printer you specified and press Enter. This adds the printer to the Serviced Printer list of the print server. 7) From the Serviced Printers menu list, select the name of the printer you specified in the previous procedure, and press Enter. This brings up the Printer Configuration menu. 8) From the Printer Configuration menu, use the arrow keys to highlight Printer type, and press Enter. 9) From the Printer Type menu, use the arrow keys to highlight Other/Unknown, and press Enter. This makes your selection active, and brings you back to the Printer Configuration menu. 10) If most of the printing to the LaserWriter will be PostScript, and not PCL, then from the Printer Configuration menu, use the arrow keys to highlight Banner type, and change the banner type from Text to PostScript. This limits the number of times the printer will have to switch modes between PCL and PostScript. Part C - Create a print queue 1) From the Printer Configuration menu, use the arrow keys to highlight Print queues assigned, and press Enter. This displays the Print Queue menu list. 2) Press the Insert key to display print queues in your current context in the NetWare Directory Services tree. For this example, we will create a new queue. 3) Press the Insert key to create a new print queue in the NetWare Directory Services tree. The context listed at the top of the screen should still list the server's bindery context that was set earlier. If it doesn't, change to the correct context before creating the print queue. 4) At the prompt, type the new queue name and press Enter. You are then asked for the NetWare volume to store your NetWare print queue jobs on. With NetWare 4 the NetWare queue does not have to exist on the SYS volume -- you can place the queue on any volume you want. Use the Insert key to select the volume from the directory tree (you may need to navigate to a different context to select the volume desired). 5) Select the name of the queue you specified above and press Enter. This adds the queue to the Print Queue list of the printer. 6) Press the Escape key until you are prompted to save your changes. Part D - Set your printer to PSERVER mode. There are two different procedures to follow depending upon your printer model. Color LaserWriter 12/660 and 12/600 PS models: 1) Run the Apple Printer Utility. It is located in the Apple LaserWriter Software program group for Windows 3.1. 2) Click Network 3) Select the Color LaserWriter 12/660 or 12/600 that you want, then click Open Printer. 4) Select Communication Configuration and then NetWare Configuration. 5) Enter the PSERVER name and then click the Rescan button. Rescan sends the new settings tothe printer and causes it to renew its commuknications with the NetWare file server. LaserWriter 12/640 PS and LaserWriter 16/600 PS models: 1) Run the Apple LaserWriter Utility. It is located in the Apple LaserWriter Software program group for Windows 3.1. 2) Select the printer model as LaserWriter 12/640 PS or LaserWriter 16/600 PS depending on the printer you're using. For the Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS, use the Apple Printer Utility instead of the Apple LaserWriter Utility. 3)Choose Print Server Configuration from the Network menu. 4) Select the printer you want to configure. Each printer's NetWare Printer Name is displayed. You identify the printer by matching the NetWare Printer Name displayed with the NetWare Printer Name that is printed on the printer's startup page. If you don't see your printer in the list of names, first check all the cable connections and turn the printer off and back on. Also, make sure your NetWare file server is running. Check the printer's startup page to make sure you are using the correct NetWare Printer Name. Now try Steps 1-4 again. If you still don't see your printer's name, you can connect to it manually. See "ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR 12/640 OR 16/600 ON NETWARE," later in this ReadMe. 5) Click the desired name and press Configure. The Printer Configuration and Status dialog box appears. 6) Click Print Server if it is not already selected and enter the PSERVER name. This is the same name you used in PCONSOLE. 7) Enter the optional NetWare password if you defined one with PCONSOLE. 8) Enter the file server names that the printer will service. 9) Press Add. In the Add NetWare Server dialog box that appears, enter the Server Name. Then press OK. 10) Enter the Queue Scan Time. This is the interval that the printer will wait before checking each file server in its access list for print jobs. The default value is 40 milliseconds. 11) Press Send. Part E - Restart the printer 1) Turn the printer off and then back on again. The printer is now ready to function as a print server on the NetWare network. 2) Submit a print job to the printer to ensure it is working. Setting up the printer as a remote printer (RPRINTER) There are six parts to setting up your printer for RPRINTER mode: Part A - Create a print server. Part B - Create a printer from within the print server configuration menu options. Part C - Create a print queue from within the printer configuration menu options. Part D - Set your printer to RPRINTER mode. Part E - Start PSERVER on your NetWare 4.1 file server. Part F - Turn the printer off and then back on to have the changes take effect. Part A - Create a print server 1) Turn the printer off, then on, and retrieve the printer's startup page. 2) Type SET BINDERY CONTEXT at the server's console prompt to ensure that the context has been set. Write the context down, as it will be needed later. 3) Log in to a NetWare file server from a DOS client using the Admin account. 4) At the DOS prompt, type PCONSOLE, and press Enter. 5) Use the arrow keys to highlight Change Context in the menu, and press Enter. 6) Change the PCONSOLE utility's context to match the context set on the server (what you wrote down earlier) by pressing the Insert key and selecting the correct context. 7) Use the arrow keys to highlight Printer Servers in the menu, and press Enter. 8) Press the Insert key, then type a descriptive name for your printer server. This can be any name, but in general you should be able to glance at the object and know what its purpose is, for example "12_640_Server." Part B - Create a printer from within the print server configuration menu options 1) Select the name of the print server you specified in part A and press Enter. 2) Use the arrow keys to highlight Printers in the Print Server Information menu, and press Enter. This lets you configure the new print server. 3) Press the Insert key to display printers in your current context in the NetWare Directory Services tree. 4) Press the Insert key to create a new printer in the NetWare Directory Services tree. The context listed at the top of the screen should still list the server's bindery context that was set earlier. If this is not the case, change the context to the correct context before creating the printer. 5) At the prompt, type the new printer name and press Enter. 6) Select the name of the printer you specified in the previous procedure and press Enter. This will add the printer to the Serviced Printers list of the print server. Part C - Create a print queue from within the printer configuration menu options 1) From the Serviced Printers menu, select the name of the printer you specified in the previous procedure, and press Enter. A Printer Configuration menu appears. 2) From the Printer Configuration menu, use the arrow keys to highlight Printer type, and press Enter. 3) From the Printer Type menu, use the arrow keys to highlight Other/Unknown, and press Enter. This makes your selection active, and brings you back to the Printer Configuration menu. 4) If most of the printing to this printer will be PostScript, and not PCL, then from the Printer Configuration menu, use the arrow keys to highlight Banner type, and change the banner type from Text to PostScript. This limits the number of times the printer will have to switch modes between PCL and PostScript. 5) From the Printer Configuration menu, use the arrow keys to highlight Print queues assigned, and press Enter. The Print Queue list appears. 6) Press the Insert key to display print queues in your current context in the NetWare Directory Services tree. For this example, we will create a new queue. 7) Press the Insert key to create a new print queue in the NetWare Directory Services tree. The context listed at the top of the screen should still list the server's bindery context that was set earlier. If it doesn't, change to the correct context first before creating the print queue. 8) At the prompt, type the new queue name and press Enter. You will then be asked for the NetWare volume to store your NetWare print queue jobs on. With NetWare 4.xx, the NetWare queue does not have to exist on the SYS volume --- you can place the queue on any volume you want. Use the insert key to select the volume from the directory tree (you may need to navigate to a different context to select the volume desired). 9) Select the name of the queue you specified in the previous step and press Enter. This adds the queue to the Print Queue list of Printers. 10) Press the Escape key until you are prompted to save your changes. Part D - Set your printer to RPRINTER mode There are two different procedures to follow depending upon your printer model. Color LaserWriter 12/660 PS and Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS models: 1) Run the Apple Printer Utility. It is located in the Apple LaserWriter Software program group for Windows 3.1. 2) Click Network 3) Select the Color LaserWriter 12/660 or 12/600 that you want, then click Open Printer. 4) Select Communication Configuration and then NetWare Configuration. 5) Select RPRINTER and enter the name of the print server NLM in the Remote Printer Namefield. 6) Click Send. Apple LaserWriter 12/640 PS and Apple LaserWriter 16/600 PS models: 1) Run the Apple LaserWriter Utility. It is located in the Apple LaserWriter Software program group for Windows 3.1. On Windows 95, select Programs from Start to find it. 2) Select the printer model as LaserWriter 12/640 PS or LaserWriter 16/600 PS. 3) Choose Print Server Configuration from the Network menu. 4) Select the printer you want to configure. Each printer's NetWare Printer Name is displayed. You identify the printer by matching the NetWare Printer Name displayed with the NetWare Printer Name that is printed on the printer's startup page. If you don't see your printer in the list of names, first check all the cable connections and turn the printer off and back on. Also make sure your NetWare file server is running. Check the printer's startup page to make sure you are using the correct NetWare Printer Name. Now try Steps 1-4 again. If you still don't see your printer's name, you can connect to it manually. See "ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR 12/640 OR 16/600 ON NETWARE," later in this ReadMe. 5) Click the desired name and press Configure. The Printer Configuration and Status dialog box appears. 6) Click Remote Printer if it is not already selected, and enter the Server name. This is the same name you used in PCONSOLE. Enter also the Printer Number. Again, this is the same number assigned in PCONSOLE. 7) Press Send. The printer is now ready to function as a remote printer on the NetWare network. Part E - Start PSERVER on your 4.1 File Server 1) Start PSERVER on your 4.1 File Server by typing "LOAD PSERVER <Print Server Name>". Part F - Turn the printer off and back on for the changes to take effect 1) Turn the printer off and then back on again. 2) Submit a print job to the printer to ensure it is working. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR 12/640 OR 16/600 ON NETWARE If you select Print Server Configuration from the Apple LaserWriter Utility's Network menu and you don't see your LaserWriter 12/640 or 16/600 printer model's name in the list of printers available to configure, follow these steps to connect to your printer manually. 1) Run the Apple LaserWriter Utility and select your printer model. 2) From the Network menu, choose Connect to network printer. The Network Printer Manual Connect dialog box appears. 3) The Network number field displays the eight-digit ipx network number for this segment. If your printer is connected to another segment, enter that segment's Network number, then press Tab to enter the Node Address. Type the last six digits of your printer's Ethernet address in the Node Address field. You will find the Ethernet address on the startup page. Press Connect. The Printer Configuration and Status dialog box for your printer is displayed. 4) From the Frame Format list box, select the Frame Format that your NetWare file server uses. By default, NetWare 3 uses frame format 802.3; NetWare 4 uses frame format 802.2. If you want to use both NetWare 3.x and 4.x file servers with your printer, configure the NetWare file servers so that they use the same frame format. Note: The Frame Format list box may display "Autodetect" as its value. This indicates that the printer's frame format is not set yet. 5) Press Send to send the Frame Format to the printer. Then, wait about 30 seconds. You can now use Print Server Configuration to configure your printer. However, be sure to complete your PCONSOLE configuration for the printer first before doing so. PRINTING FROM WINDOWS NT Follow the steps below to set up your printer as your default printer: 1) Double-click Windows NT Print Manager. 2) Select your printer as your default printer and click OK. PRINTING FROM WINDOWS 3.1 General Driver Compatibility Issues Windows 3.0 - AdobePS 3.0.1 does not support Windows 3.0. Installation - When installing the driver or a printer PPD, you must first exit all applications using this driver. Otherwise, the Printers dialog box in the Control Panel will not proceed with the installation. Interaction With Control Panel Printers Dialog Box - Some selections made in the Printers dialog box, such as Set as Default Printer and Connect, take effect only after the Printers dialog box is closed. Duplicate Features in the Driver and Application - If your application contains the same feature as the driver (such as scaling or number of copies), use your application to set the feature; do not set it using the driver. Use the driver tab dialog boxes only to set printer options that you cannot control via your application's Print or Print Setup dialog box. Printing From Multiple Applications - Multiple applications cannot use AdobePS 3 at the same time. You can print from multiple applications, but must wait until a job has completed before starting another one. Image Printing Performance - For some applications, printing images may be slower than expected. Printing performance will depend on bitmap characteristics (such as size or color) and the method the application uses to print bitmaps. For example, 24-bit color images will print more slowly than 1-bit black-and-white images. PostScript Protocol Options - For the printer's default configuration, protocol options located on the PostScript tab dialog box should be set to Default. For the Color LaserWriter, you should be able to select Send Data in Binary for both parallel and network connections. Optimize for Speed vs. Optimize for Portability - In the PostScript tab dialog box, there is a group box called PostScript Performance. When you select Optimize for Speed, you may find certain jobs cause the printer to run out of memory, terminating the job with a VM or rangecheck error. If you encounter problems, try setting the PostScript Performance option to Optimize for Portability. Downloadable Fonts - Printing lengthy documents that require the driver to download several fonts may generate one or more of the following error messages or conditions: PostScript Error: limit check PostScript Error: VM error Page with the message that the printer has insufficient memory Printer simply does not finish printing the job or resets. Workarounds: 1) Reduce the number of fonts in the document. 2) Try changing the PostScript Performance setting on the PostScript tab dialog box to "Optimize for Portability." 3) Add memory to the printer. Do Not Download Fonts Option - The Job Control tab dialog box contains the Font Control option Do Not Download Fonts. Use this option only if you know that the fonts that you use in your documents are always available to your printer. Otherwise, the printer may substitute Courier for your fonts. Document Structuring Conventions - AdobePS 3 does not emit the DSC comments "%%BeginData ... %%EndData." Some Images Print With Limited Color - Images based on RLE-4 and RLE-8 compression print with limited halftoning effects. Typically, shades of gray or color will print as either black or white. Installation of Printer Font Metrics - The list of characters available in a font changed from Windows 3.0 to Windows 3.1. AdobePS 3 uses the information in Printer Font Metric (PFM) files to help applications lay out text correctly and to instruct PostScript printers how to print text correctly. However, because of the changes in characters available, some older PFMs may incorrectly list character widths and cause either errors in layout of text on the screen, in the printer, or both. AdobePS 3 includes the newest versions of font PFMs for all of the printers it installs. If Adobe Type Manager (ATM) is installed, it includes PFMs for fonts on the printer. AdobePS 3 assumes that those PFMs are more recent than the PFMs included during driver installation. The PFMs supplied with ATM 3.02 located in the WIN_OS/ADOBE folder of your CD-ROM are more recent than those supplied with AdobePS 3. Using Print Manager - Windows Print Manager will create a temporary file when you print from an application. Deleting this temporary file terminates the print job. Suggested use: Click Cancel in the dialog box to terminate the print job or delete from within Print Manager. Custom Paper Dimensions - In some PPDs, the minimum width and height values for the Custom Paper option are represented by three decimal digits. AdobePS 3 rounds off the value to two decimal digits, which may result in an error indicating that one or both of your dimensions are invalid. Workaround: If you wish to use the minimum value, change the AdobePS 3 rounded value (such as 8.26) to the exact value of the dimension with all decimal digits (such as 8.264). Page Preview Image - The Page Preview image on the Paper tab dialog box reflects only an approximation of the actual printed page. Paper size, color, and border filling in the page preview, for example, may not accurately represent the corresponding characteristic of the printed page. Watermark Printing - In some applications, watermarks will print either in the background (the default) or in the foreground, but not in both. Workaround: Try printing the watermarks in both the foreground and background to discover which location works best with your application and printed document. When you specify a watermark to print in outline format, the Page Preview image of the Watermark and Paper tab dialogs do not display the outline watermark. This is a limitation of the driver's display feature only; the watermark will print correctly on the physical page. In some applications, when the Watermark First Page Only feature and Number of Copies features are combined, the watermark prints only on the first page of the first copy. Workaround: Print each copy as a separate job. Some applications submit the entire print job as one logical page. The single logical page, when printed, spans multiple physical pages. For such applications the watermark may appear only on the second physical page. N-Up Printing - N-up printing may yield unanticipated results when you combine layout and orientation page-setup options in one document. The first logical page of a job determines the layout for the rest of the job. For example, if you choose portrait orientation for the first page of a document printed in 6-up, all pages in the document will print in the standard order for portrait orientation, left to right, top to bottom, even if you change to landscape orientation in the middle of the job. If you specify landscape orientation for the first page of a 6-up document, all document pages print bottom to top, left to right. For rotated landscape orientation, document pages print top to bottom, right to left. Additionally, if you request a different resolution, page size, or paper source, or if you request duplex settings for different pages of a document while using the n-up feature, AdobePS 3 completes the previous request and then starts a new page, applying the currently requested page-setup settings. The order of the layout remains the same, although virtual pages of an n-up layout will be blank. This is because AdobePS 3 starts the next set of instructions on a new sheet of paper. In some applications, when the Layout and Copies features are combined, new pages are started, as needed, only in the first copy. Workaround: Print each copy as a separate job. N-up printing and borders - You may experience problems printing documents that have borders when printed with n-up printing. Workaround: Print documents with borders with 1 page per sheet of paper. N-up printing and manually downloaded PostScript header - With some applications, manually downloading a PostScript header may cause errors when n-up printing is used. Workaround: Instead of manually downloading the PostScript header, select "Send Header with each job" in the driver's Job Control tab dialog box. Dialog Box Warning: Application Incompatibility Watermark and N-Up Features - Some applications are incompatible with watermark and page layout (n-up) features. If this is true for an application you are using, AdobePS 3 displays the Application/Printer Setup Incompatibility dialog box, which lets you cancel the print job, try to print using the driver's features, or print without using the driver's features. By default, AdobePS 3 displays this dialog box each time you send a print job specifying features with which the application is incompatible. If this is an inconvenience for you, you can disable the dialog box. To disable the Application/Printer Setup Incompatibility dialog box: 1) Use Notepad or another ASCII text editor to open the WIN.INI file and go to the [AdobePS] section. 2) Choose one of two options: * Find the line "Show Compatibility Alert=1" and change the value from 1 to 0. * If the Show Compatibility Alert line does not exist, add the line "Show Compatibility Alert=0." 3) Save and close the file. Problems Printing Envelope and Document in a Single Job - When you print an envelope-and-letter job involving paper source changes, if the first page uses the manual-feed paper tray and the next page changes to Auto Tray Select, printing may yield unexpected results. For example, envelope text may be printed on letter-size paper instead of the expected envelope. Workaround: Specify specific paper sources instead of Auto Tray Select, or print each page as a separate job. Problems Printing to Printers in Adobe IntelliSelect (AIS) Mode - A Printer Mode value of ASCII Mode, set via the Job Control tab dialog, is incompatible with printers in AIS mode and results in an error. Also, files with embedded EPS graphics or text created via drivers other than AdobePS 3 may not print correctly to a printer in AIS mode. Workaround: Use the Apple LaserWriter Utility to change Port Configuration to PostScript or TBCP, if parallel, and then reprint the job. Accidentally Printing EPS Files - If a printer driver is accidentally configured to print EPS output to a printer rather than a file, AdobePS 3 displays a warning that EPS should not be output to a port; the job prints correctly within the application, then the printer stays in a waiting mode until either (a) another job is sent, or (b) a time-out error occurs. To avoid this situation, ensure that EPS format is only output to File, not Printer. Match Color Across Printers Option - The Match Color Across Printers option uses the device-independent color-rendering feature available in PostScript Level 2 color printers to render color output as close as possible to the colors of other Level 2 printers. This feature is intended to give accurate and consistent color rendering across a wide range of color devices. Font Downloader Compatibility The Font Downloader is automatically installed along with the driver. Although the downloader can be run as a stand-alone program, this is not recommended. Downloading Task Thermometer - The task-progress thermometer does not always reflect the true status of the font downloading task. Even though the font does download, the thermometer may not reflect 100%. Downloading PostScript Files Containing Binary Data - The Font Downloader can download only PostScript files containing ASCII data and may display an error if the PostScript file contains binary data. Workaround: Instead of the Font Downloader use the Apple LaserWriter Utility to send PostScript files containing binary data to the printer. Alternatively, you can send such files from DOS using the Copy command. Device Installer Problems - You can download fonts only to the memory of the LaserWriter 12/640 PS. Deleting Fonts From the Printer's Memory - If you have downloaded fonts to the printer's memory using the Font Downloader, the fonts stay resident until the printer is restarted; the Font Downloader can not delete fonts from the printer's memory. Workaround: Restart the printer using the Apple LaserWriter Utility or turn the printer off, wait a few moments, and then turn the printer back on. All the fonts that have been downloaded to the printer's memory are removed. Update of WIN.INI File - The Font Downloader does not update the WIN.INI file to reflect the fonts that it has downloaded; therefore, other PostScript drivers or application programs that read WIN.INI for information updates will not know which fonts have already been downloaded. Misleading Memory Messages - Sometimes when you are downloading a group of fonts, the Font Downloader sends messages indicating that there may not be enough available memory to download the individual font. This message may or may not reflect the true state of your printer. Workaround: If you know your printer has plenty of memory, choose Yes in response to the Font Downloader message and continue downloading the fonts. Also, to avoid display of the insufficient memory message, download the fonts individually, not by group. If your printer is low in memory, you may not be able to download all fonts to it. Check Password - Check Password is not supported for Apple printers. Workaround: NetWare security is available for the Apple LaserWriter 12/640 PS when it is used as a print server. You set up the password on the NetWare file server and on the printer being used as the print server. See Chapter 3, sections "Assigning a Password for the Print Server" and "Setting Additional Parameters With the Apple LaserWriter Utility for Windows" of the Apple LaserWriter 12/640 PS user's manual. Application Software Compatibility Adobe Illustrator - If you install Adobe Illustrator after the Adobe PostScript driver, the following message may appear: "The file C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\PS_ENUM.DLL already exists and has a different date than the file Illustrator is about to install. Do you wish to overwrite the current file on the system?" Select No; do not overwrite the file. This same dialog box will again appear for RUN_ENUM.EXE. Select No; do not overwrite this file, either. If Illustrator has been installed without regard to the above instructions, reinstall the driver using the instructions listed in "Deleting Previous Versions of the Driver." You must clear all previous files to ensure a successful installation. Aldus Freehand Aldus Freehand does not support the Rotated Landscape Orientation option of the Paper tab dialog box. In addition, Freehand does not support watermarks. Ashlar Vellum 2.12 Ashlar Vellum does not support printing multiple copies. CorelDraw 5.0 Printing watermarks with First Page Only selected causes the watermark to print only on the last page. Workaround: Print page one only with the watermark selected. Then, print the remainder of the document without the watermark. Printing watermarks without First Page Only selected causes the watermark to print only on the first page. N-up page layouts of multipage documents have the correct layout, but the document is printed with only one page per sheet of paper. Fractal Design Painter 2.0 In the PostScript tab dialog box is a group box called PostScript Performance. Fractal Design Painter 2.0 is compatible only with the Optimize for Portability option of that box. Freelance Graphics 2.01 Print jobs may not scale correctly. Micrografx Designer 4.0 AdobePS 3 does not support the Colored Pattern Brush feature of Designer 4.0 and the earlier application Charisma and prints filled areas of color bitmaps in black and white. MS Excel Printers with resolutions in excess of 300 dpi may exhibit uneven patterning in graphics using color fill patterns. MS Notepad and Cardfile Resolution of 600 dpi or above may cause Notepad and Cardfile to print with incorrect margins. Sometimes this can be corrected by specifically changing the requested margins from 0.75", the default margins, to another value; this does not always fix the problem. Workaround: Install the Adobe Default Printer and select it when printing from Cardfile or Notepad. MS Online Microsoft Online may not print when AdobePS 3 is selected and the printer name is longer than 29 characters. Workaround: Choose a printer name with fewer than 30 characters. MS PowerPoint 3.0 Resolution changes requested from within the PowerPoint 3.0 Print Setup dialog box do not take effect. The LaserWriter 12/640 PS is a 600 dpi printer only. When printing some colored text from PowerPoint 3.0, the text prints in black rather than the selected color. MS PowerPoint 4.0 Printing files containing multiple embedded EPS objects from this application sometimes results in either lost text or lost EPS objects. Workaround: Convert the embedded EPS objects to PowerPoint objects by double-clicking them. MS Publisher 2.0 The BorderArt feature of MS Publisher 2.0 is incompatible with AdobePS 3. If you try to use this feature with AdobePS 3, the printed file may be missing lines from the upper and bottom right and left corners of the border. PageMaker Some PageMaker files may print with unexpected results. Workaround: Make sure that you have selected the correct type of printer in the PageMaker print dialog box and that the PageMaker private PPD directory contains the correct PPD for the printer you are using. PageMaker 5.0 Negative images of PageMaker documents cannot be printed. Persuasion 3.0 Depending on the file you are trying to print, Persuasion 3.0 is sometimes incompatible with AdobePS 3. Printing sometimes results in a blank first page or a PostScript error. Quicken 3.0 If you choose to print partial checks in 1s or 2s, instead of the standard 3s, you may get unexpected results. When you request partial check printing, Quicken prints a blank first page, a second page in portrait orientation, and a third page in landscape orientation. WordPerfect 5.1 Early versions of WordPerfect may exhibit some problems with this driver. Examples include: unreadable text in the WordPerfect Select Printers dialog; dimmed Select control in the Select Printers dialog when switching printers; and mismatched settings between AdobePS 3 and WordPerfect. Workaround: Use at least version 5.1 of WordPerfect.
