INTRODUCTION
The diskette contains version 2.8.2 of the Xerox DocuPrint 4232
PCL 5e Emulation Printer Driver for Windows. This printer driver
enables the printer to print with Microsoft Windows version 3.1,
3.11, and 95.
Note: The driver included on this disk is intended for
use with Microsoft Windows version 3.1, 3.11, and 95.
This driver is not recommended for use with Windows
version 3.0.
This driver is a proprietary Xerox version that may offer
better performance for some applications. A Microsoft
Universal Printer Driver version is provided for your
use separately on diskette part number 301E07990.
INSTALLING THE PCL 5e PRINTER DRIVER FOR WINDOWS 3.1 and 3.11
You must follow the steps outlined in the Windows 3.1 Users
Guide under Control Panel/Installing a Printer File in order
to install this printer driver. Please read all instructions
in this section before attempting to install any driver on
the disk included in this package. If your Windows 3.1 Users
Guide is not handy, below is an outline of the steps required.
1. In the Main group, choose the Control Panel icon.
2. In Control Panel, choose the Printers icon.
The Printers dialog box appears. If you have never
installed a printer, the dialog box expands to display a
list of printers available in the Windows version 3.1
package, and the Add button is unavailable. Go to step 8.
3. Choose the Add button.
The dialog box expands to display the List Of Printers.
4. In the List Of Printers box, select Install Unlisted or
Updated Printer.
5. Choose the Install button.
A dialog box appears, instructing you to insert the disk that
has the printer-driver file on it.
6. Insert the disk which contains the printer driver, or type the
path of the directory where you downloaded the driver. Then
choose the OK button.
Another dialog box appears, listing several printers.
7. In the List Of Printers box, select the printer you want.
8. Choose the OK button.
The Printers dialog box appears. Your printer is listed in the
Installed Printers list.
9. Choose the Close button.
10. For instructions on how to configure your printer, see Chapter
5, "Control Panel," in the "Microsoft Windows User's Guide."
INSTALLING THE PCL 5e PRINTER DRIVER FOR WINDOWS 95
Install the drivers using the standard Windows 95 "Add Printer" wizard:
1. Follow the screens until the manufacturer/model window appears.
2. Select the "Have Disk" button.
3. Select "OK" from the Install From Disk window.
4. Select the desired printer driver from the Add Printer Wizard window.
5. Continue the installation as directed by the Add Printer Wizard.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Fonts supported in this driver are available from your local Xerox
or Rank Xerox Font Support Center.
If problems occur when printing with Graphics Mode, in the Options
tab, set to HP-GL/2, try setting the Graphics Mode to Raster. You
may also find that some images print better in Raster than in
HP-GL/2 mode. If you continue to have problems with specific
images, try changing the Graphics Quality, Gray Scale and Printer
Resolution settings.
The color rendering in gray scale patterns for some applications may
require the user to change the color for a more pleasing output. If
that is not sufficient, the workaround is to print at 300 dpi.
If you are experiencing problems selecting paper trays, you should
review the source mapping section of the printer's user guide and
your application's documentation regarding paper selection.
NOTE: In the Windows 95 environment, the printer resolution options
(e.g. 300 dpi, 600 dpi) are only selectable from the Control Panel
under the "Printers" dialog box and are not displayed as selectable
options when printing within an application (e.g. Word, Excel, etc.).
By choosing the Printer Properties of the Xerox DocuPrint 4232, the
resolution settings will be displayed.
In the Windows 3.1 environment, the printer resolution options
(e.g. 300 dpi, 600 dpi) are not selectable from within the Microsoft
PowerPoint application. These options can be set from the Windows
Control Panel.
