This diskette also contains printer drivers for the following: * IBM AIX* Operating System 3.1.5 or 3.2 and higher ------------------------------------- COMPATIBILITY AND SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS ------------------------------------- The Installation Utilities are designed to operate on IBM (or 100%- compatible) Personal Computers or Personal Systems with a hard drive and one high density (1.44 MB) 3.5" diskette drive. The Installation Utilities were designed and tested for the following PC operating systems and environments: - IBM OS/2 versions 1.30.2 or higher (To check your OS/2 version, enter the command, SYSLEVEL, at an OS/2 command prompt.) Prior versions of OS/2 are not supported. To install the printer Toolkit utility on your hard drive as recommended, you will need at least 700K bytes of free disk space for each copy of the OS/2 version of the Toolkit you install. ---------------------------------- RUNNING THE INSTALLATION UTILITIES ---------------------------------- To run the OS/2 version of Setup: - Insert the diskette into drive a:. - At an OS/2 command prompt, enter the command: A:\SETUP - Follow the directions displayed. To run the OS/2 version of Toolkit, the Toolkit must be installed on your hard drive using the OS/2 version of Setup. ----------------------------- USER TIPS AND RECOMMENDATIONS ----------------------------- - GENERAL The Installation Utilities diskette may be copied for use with your printer by using the OS/2 DISKCOPY command or its equivalent. Keep these diskettes with your printer and printer documentation. Do not copy the diskette to a directory that contains another copy of the setup program. You should make backup copies of the Installation Utilities diskette in the event your original diskette is damaged during use. Only OS/2 Presentation Manager* drivers are installed by the Toolkit for OS/2. To install drivers for WIN-OS/2 and selected DOS applications, OS/2 users must run the Setup or Toolkit for DOS and Windows. If you have OS/2 2.0 or higher, WIN-OS/2 will be identified and updated as Windows 3.0 or 3.1, depending on the OS/2 version installed, by the application search function in Setup or Toolkit. The Toolkit for OS/2 must be installed on your hard drive and cannot be executed from diskette. - FORMATTING THE FLASH OPTION All fonts stored in the Flash Memory option are erased when the Flash is formatted. You should update the font lists in the Windows (or WIN-OS/2) and OS/2 printer drivers to remove the fonts deleted. If the OS/2 Toolkit issued the Format flash command, the font list in the OS/2 IBM ExecJet II 4076 PCL 3 driver is automatically updated. - DRIVER INSTALLATION WITHOUT THE UTILITIES You can manually unpack and install the printer drivers provided if you do not have enough free memory to run the utilities. The OS/2 PCL 3 printer driver does not need to be unpacked prior to installation. Refer to the user's guide for OS/2 or the software application guide provided with the printer for instructions on installing the OS/2 printer drivers. - AIX SUPPORT Files supplied in the AIX subdirectory are for use with AIX Version 3.1.5 and AIX Versions 3.2 and higher. The virtual printer files (also called printer colon files) supplied support the PPDS language of the IBM ExecJet II 4076 printer. Browse, using a text editor, or print the file AIX_READ.ME in the AIX subdirectory for more information and instructions. --------------------- PROBLEM DETERMINATION --------------------- - OS/2 DRIVER WILL NOT INSTALL BECAUSE EXTENDED ATTRIBUTES WERE REMOVED If OS/2 driver installation fails because the Extended Attributes (EAs) were not present, run PCL3JOIN on your diskette and then retry the installation. Please see PCL3READ.ME for further information. - FONT DOWNLOAD FROM OS/2 TOOLKIT IS SLOW When using the download font or the install screen font functions in the OS/2 version of the Printer Toolkit, it is possible that the hourglass icon will appear for long periods of time especially when performing these functions with fonts on diskettes. This is normal operation for the Printer Toolkit; the system is not "hung". If an OS/2 printer error message is displayed while downloading fonts in OS/2, correct the problem at the printer, then select RETRY. Do not select ABORT. ========================================================================== Terms identified by a single asterisk (*) are trademarks or registered trademarks of the IBM Corporation.
