SOFTWARE APPLICATION NOTES

Large paper sizes:
If your application has a Page Setup, or similarly named menu item, you should
always take care when it is used to set a large paper size. ZoomSmart scaling
settings in the Paper Sizes properties page may be active. If so, the scaling
effect could generate an error message telling you that the scaled paper size
is too large for your printer and that scaling will be disabled. However, in
some extreme cases this error message will be repeated several times. After
the final error message your drawing will be printed according to the Page
setup settings and with the scaling setting disabled.


Internet Links from the Driver's Help File

The driver's help file contains some useful links for users with access to the
Internet. If you use Windows 3.1, you will see the message "Unable to run the
specified file" if you attempt the links. On Windows 95, you can normally link
from the help file to these Internet pages provided that your Netscape
settings specify that Startup is to use the Netscape Browser. However, even if
you cannot link automatically to these pages, they can still provide you with
useful information.

The pages are:
        HP Home Page                    http://www.hp.com/
        HP DesignJet Home Page          http://www.hp.com/go/designjet

Standard Windows 95 Installation

Note that, unless stated otherwise, all mouse clicks in the following
procedure assume you are using the left mouse button.

1. With the "HP DesignJet Printer Driver (HP-GL/2 and HP RTL) for Microsoft
Windows 3.1 and Windows 95" disk inserted in your floppy drive and with
Windows 95 running, click on Start, select Settings and then Printers to open
the Printers dialog box.

box.

(We recommend that you do not use the New Driver button in the Printer
Properties dialog box to install or upgrade this driver.)

3. Follow the steps displayed on your screen. Below are some questions which,
depending on your system configuration, you may be requested to answer.

How is this printer attached to your computer?

Select:
Local printer if the printer is connected to your computer by a cable running
directly between them.

Network printer if the printer has a network option installed, such as "The HP
JetDirect Network Interface", and you will use it to communicate with your
printer.

Click on Have Disk... and in the "Install From Disk" dialog box, enter the
specification of your floppy disk drive and click on OK. This time in the "Add
Printer Wizard" dialog box select your HP DesignJet Printer from the list and
click on Next. If you already have an existing driver for your printer, we
recommend replacing it with the one on the disk.

Do you print from MS-DOS-based programs?

We recommend that you select No. Select Yes only in the case where you have
an MS-DOS driver that can print to a HP DesignJet series printer.

4. At the end of the installation procedure you will be asked if you want to
benefit from the offer of free driver updates; we encourage you to do this.
You will also have the opportunity of reading the Software Application Notes
section of the driver's help system. You are recommended to read the sections
that apply to the applications that you use. After that you can close the help
file and you will be returned to Windows 95.

5. Remove the driver installation disk.

an HP DesignJet 450C, 430 or 455CA printer, you can use the set of utilities
provided to allow parallel communication with your DesignJet.

After installing the driver, insert the "HP DesignJet 450C/430/455CA Toolbox
for Windows 95" diskette and run the hplsetup.exe program to install these
utilities.
