Coexistence with Other PostScript Printer Drivers ====================================================== This driver is intended to coexist peacefully with other Windows printer drivers, including PSCRIPT.DRV, Microsoft's PostScript printer driver. Installing this driver will not delete any installed drivers and should not affect their operation in any way. ---------------------------- PostScript is a trademark of Adobe Systems Incorporated registered in the United States. III. Installation Instructions ============================== IMPORTANT: SKIP THIS SECTION if you intend to use the INSTALLATION UTILITIES provided with your printer to install your printer driver. The instructions in this section are provided for your information only in case you want to install the printer driver manually. Take the following steps to install the LEXPS printer driver. 1. Start Windows 95. 2. Insert the diskette with the driver in the a: drive. 3. Select the Start button on the task bar. Then select Settings and Printers. 4. Double-click the Add Printer icon. The Add Printers Wizard dialog box is displayed. 5. Select the Next> button. 6. Select Local or Network printer and then select the Next> button. 7. Make sure the driver diskette is in the a: drive and select the Have Disk... button. 8. Select the OK button. 9. Select the appropriate printer from the list and select the Next> button. 10. If the driver was previously installed, the option to keep the existing driver or Replace the existing driver will appear. Select Replace existing driver and then select the Next> button. 11. Select the appropriate printer port (normally LPT1:) and select the Next> button. 12. Type a name for the printer object or use the supplied name. If the driver was previously installed using the supplied name, then the new supplied name will have '(Copy #)' appended to it. This is to ensure that two printer objects do not have the same name. Select whether this printer object should be the default printer or not and select the Next> button. 13. If you would like a test page to be printed through the driver you are installing to test if the driver was installed correctly, select Yes or No and then select the Finish button. The following files will be copied to your Windows/System subdirectory: LEXPS.DRV LEXPSLNG.DLL LEXPS.HLP LEXPS.CNT LEXPS.AVI PTAPIW16.DLL LEXMV95.DLL LEXMV95.HLP LEXBCE.DLL LEXBCELM.DLL LEXLMPM.DLL LEXSTART.EXE LEXPSEXT.DLL LEXMV95R.DLL PS4079.ICM will be copied to your Windows/System/Color subdirectory when installing the Lexmark Color 4079 plus PS2. 14. If you had previously installed the printer driver you may now wish to delete the new printer object. The newly installed driver files replace the existing driver files and therefore the old printer object was also updated. By keeping the old printer object, any settings, overlays, and user forms will be saved. To delete the new printer object, click on the object with the right mouse button and select Delete. 15. To open the printer object, Double-click the object then select Printer and Properties. Installation of the LEXPS printer driver is now complete. IV. Envelope Printing in Windows 95 ==================================== 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 selection from the driver's Paper tab or Printer Setup dialog box in your application. V. Application Limitiations ============================= Some applications, such as Corel Draw, Aldus Pagemaker, and Lotus 123, generate PostScript language directly instead of using the Windows GDI interfaces to the printer driver. As a result, some of the features of this driver do not work with these types of applications unless the UseDrvPS switch is set in LEXPS.INI in the Windows subdirectory. Features that may not work include Overlays, Multipage Printing, Negative Page, Negative Image, and selectable Fill Resolution. VI. Specifying the Number of Copies ==================================== The Copies control on the Paper tab is independent of a Copies option that may be available in the Print dialog box of your Windows application. Usually, specifying the number of copies in the printer driver Paper tab prints uncollated copies faster. Specifying the number of copies from your Windows application may slow down printing but may enable you to print collated copies if your applications supports this feature. Specifying a multiple number of copies in both the printer driver Paper tab and the application Print dialog box should be avoided since it may produce unpredictable results. VII. Specifying the Scale ========================= Some Windows applications directly provide a scaling option. With such an application, you should try leaving the printer driver scaling at 100 percent and set the desired scaling in the application. If this does not produce satisfactory results, then set the desired scaling in the printer driver and set the scaling in the application to 100 percent. Using variable scaling factors in both simultaneously may produce unexpected results. VIII. Downloading Overlays =========================== An overlay is a template that can be defined and then printed as a background on a form before the data from the current job is printed. For instructions on downloading an overlay, see the Help section in the Paper tab of the printer driver property sheet. If your overlay contains an image, you must ensure that the data is being sent to the printer as Ascii 85. This option can be selected in the printer driver's PostScript tab. It must be set both when creating and downloading the overlay.Download Driver Pack
