DRIVERS.TXT

This file explains the features and installation instructions for the 
updated printer drivers and screen fonts provided on this disk.  

The drivers provided here are:

 The PostScript driver (version 3.4A) provides a wider range of printer 
support, especially for Linotronic Imagesetters.  

  The HP LaserJet Series II (PCL 4) printer driver (version 3.4) is much 
faster than the earlier version provided on your Windows 3.0 disks.  

 The HP LaserJet III (PCL 5) printer driver (Version 3.7) has a number of 
new features, including an improved Font Installer that lets you install 
scalable soft fonts, improved compatibility with Adobe Type Manager, and 
the ability to print scalable fonts with Reverse type style.

There are two sets of driver installation instructions below: one for 
replacing an existing driver with a new version, and the other for 
installing a new driver when no previous version has been installed.  If 
you are replacing an earlier version of a printer driver with a new 
driver, install the new driver over the existing one; do not delete the 
earlier version first.  The newly installed driver will have the same 
configuration as the one it replaces.  

You must install these drivers using the Windows Control Panel; they are 
compressed and therefore cannot be simply copied to your hard disk.  

=============================
INSTALLING A DRIVER
=============================

To replace an existing  driver with the new version:

1. In the Main window of Program Manager, double-click the Control Panel 
icon.

2.  In the Control Panel window, double-click the Printers icon.

3. In the "Printers" dialog box, click "Add Printer..." and then 
double-click on the printer name appropriate for your new driver.  A 
confirmation alert appears, asking if you want to use the existing driver 
("Current") or the updated driver ("New"). 

NOTE: If you are installing the PCL 5 printer driver (hppcl5a.drv) and 
plan to use the Help available from the printer-specific dialog box after 
installation, scroll to the bottom of the printer list and double-click on 
"Unlisted Printer."  With this option, Windows will install the correct 
Help information.

4.  Click "New" in the confirmation alert, insert your drivers disk when 
prompted, and click "OK." When installation is complete, Windows adds an 
extra entry for this driver in the "Printers" dialog box.  

5. Highlight the driver entry with the port assignment of "None," and 
click "Configure..."  

6.  In the "Printers -- Configure" dialog box, highlight "None" in the 
list of printer ports, and click "Remove."

7.  Click "OK" in each open dialog box, close the Control Panel Window, 
and restart Windows.

To install a new driver when no previous version has been installed:

1. In the Main window of Program Manager, double-click the Control Panel 
icon.

2.  In the Control Panel window, double-click the Printers icon.

3. In the "Printers" dialog box, click "Add Printer..." and then 
double-click on the printer name appropriate for your new driver. 

NOTE: If you are installing the PCL 5 printer driver (hppcl5a.drv) and 
plan to use the Help available from the printer-specific dialog box after 
installation, scroll to the bottom of the printer list and double-click on 
"Unlisted Printer."  With this option, Windows will install the correct 
Help information.

4.  Insert your drivers disk when prompted, and click "OK." When 
installation is complete, Windows adds the new driver entry to the 
"Printers" dialog box.

5. Click "Configure..." to assign the printer to a port.

6. With the drivers disk still in the A: drive, click "Setup..." in the 
"Printers - Configure" dialog box to make printer-specific settings.  
(WARNING: This step is extremely important.  If you try to make these 
settings later from the "Target printer" dialog box in PageMaker, your 
printed output may be completely unreadable.)

7.  Click "OK" in each open dialog box, close the Control Panel Window, 
and restart Windows.

===============================================
ABOUT THE NEW POSTSCRIPT DRIVER (PSCRIPT.DRV, v. 3.4a)
===============================================

High resolution imagesetters, such as a Linotronic, usually have just four 
ROM-resident printer fonts. Any additional fonts must be  downloaded to 
the imagesetter. To facilitate use downloadable printer fonts with 
PageMaker 4.0, we have included the 3.4a version Windows PostScript 
driver, which has the 22 PostScript printer font metric (.PFM) file 
information and additional "extra" and transverse page sizes now built-in 
for the imagesetters currently supported.  

The printer font metric information in this driver contains  character 
spacing and kerning specification PageMaker and other Microsoft Windows 
applications need to space characters proportionally on the screen and in 
print. PFM files are not downloadable printer fonts. If you are not 
sending your publication to a service bureau for imagesetter output, 
you'll need the corresponding printer fonts for your printer in order for 
those fonts to appear in your printed output. Before you prepare your 
PageMaker files for output by a service bureau, you should verify which 
format they prefer to receive your publication files in, and the printer 
fonts they have available. Some service bureaus may request 
printed-to-disk files in PostScript format which they can simply download 
to the imagesetter. 

In any case, you'll need to advise your service bureau of the fonts that 
were used in your publication. 

Two screen font files (.FON) have also been included with PageMaker 4.0: 
ITC Zapf Chancery and ITC Zapf Dingbats.  Installing these two screen font 
files allows you to view the fonts on screen as they will appear when 
printed using the corresponding printer fonts. 

================================= 
FONT METRICS AND  PSCRIPT.DRV, v. 3.4a
================================= 

The font metric information now built-in to the 3.4a PostScript driver is 
used in imagesetter-targeted publications. When your system is updated 
with the 3.4a driver, your type specs will be updated with the following 
typefaces when your publication is targeted to an imagesetter: 

-Helvetica Narrow 

-New Century Schoolbook 

-Palatino 

-ITC Avant Garde 

-ITC Bookman 

-ITC Zapf Chancery 

-ITC Zapf Dingbats 


=================================
INSTALLING SCREEN FONTS
=================================

The two screen font (.FON) files (i.e. ITC Zapf Chancery and ITC Zapf 
Dingbats) must be installed in order to view them in  PageMaker or other 
Windows applications. NOTE: If you've installed these fonts, you can refer 
to the Adobe Type Manager(ATM) Control Panel and skip this section. 

To install the two .FON file: 

1)     Launch Windows and double-click on the Control Panel icon  (or type 
"win control" at the DOS prompt).
 
2)     Double-click on the "Fonts" icon. 

3)     Choose "Add..." in the Fonts dialog box. The "Add Font  Files" dialog box appears. 

4)     Insert the "Drivers disk" included with PageMaker 4.0 into the  
floppy drive. In the "Directories:" scroll box, choose the correct file  
location where the .FON files are located (i.e. the floppy drive). 

5)     In the "Font Files" scroll box on the left, scroll to  zd______.fon 
and zc______.fon and highlight (select) both  fonts. 

6)     Click "OK." 

       The selected Screen fonts will be copied automatically into the 
"SYSTEM" subdirectory in the Windows directory. They can be viewed in the 
Fonts dialog box under "Samples of Font." Also, the [fonts] section of 
WIN.INI will be automatically updated with the following text: 

   ZapfChancery-MediumItalic=ZC______.FON

    ZapfDingbats=ZD______.FON 

Screen font files are now installed and should appear as correct screen 
representations of their associated printer fonts that are chosen in "Type 
specs..." under the Type menu. 

NOTE: If you experience any difficulty adding screen fonts (.FON) after 
you've deleted other screen fonts, exit Control Panel and repeat the above 
steps for adding screen fonts. 

For additional information on using fonts and other printing issues refer 
to the "PageMaker 4.0 Reference Manual," the README1.TXT, README2.TXT, and 
TYPEMGR.TXT files, and the Microsoft Windows 3.0 documentation.
