Installation Instructions
===========================================================================
1. Start Windows 95.

2. Insert the NewGen driver disk into drive a: or b:.

3. Open the "My Computer" group.

4. Open the "Printers" folder and select "Add Printers".
   The "Add Printers Wizard" appears.

5. Proceed through the series of windows presented by the "Add Printers 
   Wizard" - selecting the "Have Disk" button when prompted for the 
   type of printer to install. 

6. Enter the letter of the drive containing the driver disk (from step 2).
   
7. Select the printer model to install.

8. Continue through the "Add Printers Wizard" until the installation is
   complete.  

   NOTE: If you installed Windows 95 over Windows 3.x and you had  
         the same NewGen printer model installed in 3.x as you
         are trying to install in 95, a message may appear after step 7 
         above informing you that a driver is already installed for this 
         printer. At this point you can choose to keep the existing driver
         or to replace it. Select replace and continue through the 
         installation process. Once installation is complete, delete
         the "NewGen DesignXP (copy 2)" icon in the "Printers" group.

Technical Notes / Hints
===========================================================================

1.  The NewGen DesignXP printer is not "Plug and Play" devices and requires
    the installation method described above in order to be recognized by
    Windows 95.   

2.  The Restore Defaults button under the PostScript 'tab' restores
    the PostScript Header setting to the last saved selection.

3.  The Restore Defaults button under the Details / Spool Settings 'tab'
    does not effect the Bi-Directional setting.

4.  The Separator Page in the General 'tab' observes the settings in the
    driver not the application. This may cause some confusion if the user
    is not aware of this fact. The implications of using a Separator Page
    might best be described by an example. 

      a. The printer is in a default configuration (Restore Factory Defaults),
         and has 11x17 paper in tray 1.       
      b. The driver specifies a Separator Page but is otherwise in a default
         configuration.
      c. You specify an 11x17 page size for your print job in the application.
      d. The Separator Page observes the page size of Letter specified in
         the driver - not the 11x17 page size specified for the print job.
      e. Since AutoSelect is the default paper source, the printer will
         pull paper for the Separator Page from whichever tray contains
         Letter paper. The printer may prompt the user it it can't 
         find Letter paper.   
    
    If you want the Separator Page to print on the same size paper as your
    print job, be sure to specify this paper size in the driver (enter the
    driver through My Computer/Printers etc., NOT through the application).

5.  Microsoft Word 6.0 shows all possible paper sources for the printer, 
    even those that have not be installed.

6.  When selecting Copies, always use the Copies option in your application 
    - if one is available. Setting Copies in both the driver and the 
    application may have unpredictable results.

7.  The PostScript / Advanced 'tab' contains an option for "Bitmap 
    compression". Selecting "No bitmap compression" will still result
    in compressed bitmaps on Level 2 PostScript printers.
    
8.  The PostScript / Advanced 'tab' contains an option for "PostScript
    language level". Selecting "Use PostScript Level 1 features" will
    result in the driver constructing the document using Level 1 
    PostScript. However, printer specific features described by the PPD
    are Level 2 and will be included in the driver output. Attempting to
    print such a file to a Level 1 printer may result in errors. 
    
9.  N-up printing does not work with some applications.

10. Setting the "Screen frequency" in the Graphics 'tab' to a very 
    low value may result in a PostScript error depending on the printing
    resolution. To avoid such errors, never set the screen frequency
    below 5.
