Adjustment Program (Version 3.1) for Stylus COLOR 1520 & 3000

Operating Instructions

1.Operating Environment:

l MS-DOS version 6.2 or higher.
(The operation is also checked with Windows 95, both on the emulation mode
(rebooting the system in MS-DOS mode) and on the DOS box.)

l Use only LPT1: as printer port.

l CONFIG.SYS

Check the contents of your CONFIG.SYS file, and add the following command line if
not exist ;

For MS-DOS version 6.1 or older :
device=c:\<current directory>\ansi.sys or
deviceheigh=c:\<current directory>\ansi.sys

l AUTOEXEC.BAT

Regardless of the type of OS, add the following command line, if it is not exist ;
mode lpt1: retry=p
(The above command deals with failure of raster data transmission and defines the endless
number of retry to the printer port LPT1.)

Turn the PC on after finishing procedures above to enable the new settings.

2.Cautions

1)When you operate this program on the Windows 95, you cannot operate it with Status
Monitor is running. Close Status Monitor on Task tray before executing the adjustment
program.

2)There are three additional files supplied with the adjustment program; check pattern print
program and spool data files. Copy these files in the same directory where you copy the
adjustment program itself.
