This floppy disk, containing 'DLMENU for DL9400/DL9300' (hereafter referred
to in this document as DLMENU), allows you to easily change your printer's
features directly from your computer display and keyboard in place of the
printer's control panel.
How to install and run DLMENU
=============================
1. Be sure to use the INSTALL program to install DLMENU to your hard disk.
DLMENU will not run if you just copy all the files to hard disk.
Change to the a: drive and just type "DLMENU\INSTALL" and press the ENTER
key at the DOS prompt to install this program.
2. You need about 400 KB of free space on the target drive onto which
DLMENU will be installed. The INSTALL program checks the availability
of this space. If there is not enough space, the INSTALL program gives
a warning message. If this happens, you should make space on the target
drive or select another drive as the target in the INSTALL program.
3. The INSTALL will automatically add the DLMENU program path to the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file if you select the option to do so. If you do not choose
to have the installer update the autoexec.bat file and you want to run
DLMENU from a directory other than the one in which it was installed,
you should edit the PATH setting in autoexec.bat yourself, using a text
editor and restart the computer.
EXAMPLE:
Original PATH line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file
PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\;C:\DOS
Updated path will be like this
PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\;C:\DOS;c:\DLMENU
4. To run DLMENU, go to the DLMENU directory first, and type
DLMENU and press the ENTER key. If your PATH setting in autoexec.bat
contains the path to the DLMENU directory, you just type DLMENU and
press the ENTER key.
Option switches
===============
(words in [ ] are optional)
To load DLMENU as a TSR in main memory and execute DLMENU.
Option sets the hotkey combination used to popup DLMENU, the default
hotkey is Ctrl+Alt+H. x can be any ASCII character.
DLMENU /R[:Alt+x] or /R[:Ctrl+x],
DLMENU /R[:Ctrl+Alt+x] or /R[:Alt+Ctrl+x]
To load DLMENU as a TSR in memory and not execute DLMENU.
DLMENU /L[:Alt+x] or /L[:Ctrl+x]
DLMENU /L[:Ctrl+Alt+x] or /L[:Alt+Ctrl+x]
To remove DLMENU from main memory at the DOS prompt.
DLMENU /S
To display color mode switch.
DLMENU /M
To send all settings to the printer.
DLMENU /F:mysetup[.cfg] (mysetup.cfg is your setup file)
To see the help screen.
DLMENU /?
TSR
===
Using the TSR, you can setup your printer without exiting from a DOS
application. To load the TSR module in main memory, type;
DLMENU /R
Once loaded, it occupies in about 40KB of conventional memory. It can be
run without exiting the DOS application by pressing;
Ctrl+Alt+H (default pop-up hotkey)
or the hotkey combination specified when DLMENU was run.
The normal DLMENU start-up screen will appear and the program will
function as normal. DLMENU first saves all the status, memory and screen
information of the application to EMS memory if available, leaving
about 510KB of free memory. Failing this, it saves it to about 1MB of
free space on your hard disk. This storage is only temporary. You can
return to your application by exiting from DLMENU.
To remove the TSR module from memory type at the DOS prompt;
DLMENU /S
There are some notes about using DLMENU as a TSR.
1. Another program may already use the Ctrl+Alt+H key combination for some
special function. In which case the key combination for DLMENU
must be changed. To do so, type;
DLMENU /R[:Alt+x] or
DLMENU /R[:Ctrl+x] or
DLMENU /R[:Alt+Ctrl+x] or
DLMENU /R[:Ctrl+Alt+x]
where x denotes the last key of the hotkey combination; x can
be any ASCII character.
(The program option switches are not case-sensitive)
2. Please load the TSR module of the DLMENU last, after loading all other
TSR modules including PRINT.EXE. If you don't, the system may not
function correctly.
3. Please avoid loading the TSR module of the DLMENU when you have
temporarily exited to the DOS prompt from any DOS application. (the
SYSTEM command in Lotus 1-2-3 for DOS, for example). If you do, the
system may not work correctly.
4. If DLMENU was loaded as a TSR at the prompt and Windows3.x was run, you
cannot popup the DLMENU in a windows3.x DOS prompt. If you would like
to run DLMENU at the DOS prompt in Windows3.x, you must LOAD DLMENU AS A
TSR IN THE WINDOWS3.x DOS PROMPT.
Before you do this, please check the "Memory Options : EMS Memory Locked"
check box in the Advanced options of the DOS prompts PIF (DOSPRMPT.PIF)
by using the windows3.x PIF editor.
5. When DLMENU was loaded as TSR, "/F" option is not available. Just use the
hotkey and Pop-up DLMENU.
6. When DLMENU is mode resident, you can't Upload printer information.
Select "SEND" to make each setting value valid, cettainly.

1. Do "Set list print" in "Option" menu to review the current printer
settings.

printer port.
3. The "Upload" function uploads the printers current settings and
