the same time. For the details of the above functions, see "WinStyler GDI Mode" explained later on.

Operations PC-PRINTING

Operations

Basic Operation

Place the paper on the tray, mak-

ing sure it is flush against the left wall.

Slide the paper guide to the left so

it lightly touches the paper.

Paper sizes that can be printed are mentioned above. The Main Paper Tray holds up to 150 sheets and the Optional Paper Feed Unit holds up to 250 sheets.

Note: Check beforehand whether the paper size setting matches with the size of

the actual paper. Jog the bundle of paper well before setting it in the paper feed unit.

Select the Print Mode.

Select either the GDI mode or the PCL emulation mode. GDI mode provides fast, WYSIWYG output by taking advantage of Windows’

native graphics and text features. PCL emulation mode provides compatibility with the popular printer language used in the LaserJet IIP. Both Windows applications and DOS applications running under Windows can use PCL emulation mode for printing.

In the GDI mode, printing is possible from the WINDOWS application software only. If the PCL mode is selected, printing of DOS applications which run in WINDOWS can also be done.

For details, see "Selecting the Printing Mode", explained later on.

PC-PRINTING Operations

If necessary, set more detailed printing conditions in the selected mode.

The following settings are possible in the WinStyler GDI Mode (from Property Screen).

Copies/Print Quality/Orientation/Paper Size/Paper Source/2up or 4up/Use Print Manager (Top Page, Manual Duplex, Overlay)/Print to File/Scale/Image. For details, see "WinStyler GDI Mode," explained later on.

The following settings are possible in the WinStyler PCL Mode (from PCL Control Panel).

Form Feed/Reset/Paper Source/Paper Size/Orientation/Default Font/Margins/Copies

For details, see "WinStyler PCL Mode / WinStyler PCL Control Panel," explained later on.

Execute Print instruction from the application.

Operations PC-PRINTING

Printing from a Windows Application

Once you have selected your printer mode (GDI or PCL), just print from your Windows application as you would to any other printer.

Printing from a DOS Application within Windows

WinStyler is a Windows printer driver, designed for use with Windows. In particular, WinStyler’s GDI mode is based on Windows and does not work with MS-DOS. However, WinStyler will work in PCL mode if you create an MS-DOS session from within Windows. Enter MS-DOS from Windows (click on the DOS application icon, or click on the MS-DOS icon and run your application from the command line).

Set up your application to print to the parallel port LPT1 (or LPT2 or LPT3 if you have WinStyler set to print to one of these ports instead). Be sure your application’s PCL driver is installed. Select a printer driver.

When ready to print, start your DOS application and print from your application as you normally would to LPT1 (or whichever port WinStyler is connected to).

Printing PCL and ASCII Files from MS-DOS

If you have a file in PCL or ASCII (text) format, you can print it from the MS-DOS command line within Windows. At the command line prompt, type

COPY/B <filename.ext> LPT1 where <filename.ext> is the name of your PCL or ASCII-formatted file. (If you

have configured WinStyler to print to a different parallel port, give its name instead of LPT1.)

PC-PRINTING Operations

Printing ASCII Text Files

You can output plain ASCII text files to the WinStyler printer by following this simple procedure.

Click on the "Notepad" application provided with your Windows 95

system. Open the file you wish to print.

Print the file.

Exit without saving changes.

Advanced Operation

When using Print Manager, the following functions can be used.

❐ Manual Duplex Printing ❐ Reverse Printing ❐ Overlay Printing

For details, please see "WinStyler GDI Mode", described later.

Selecting the Printing Mode PC-PRINTING

Selecting the Printing Mode

You can select either of the two printing modes, GDI mode or PCL mode, according to your requirements. If you cannot determine which printing mode is best suited for your printing applications under Windows, we recommend you always use GDI mode first.

GDI mode has the following features:

❐ GDI mode prints what you see on your screen. ❐ Faster printing as much as four to five times faster for some files ❐ Manual Duplexing ❐ Top Page ❐ Overlay ❐ Scale ❐ 2 up / 4 up ❐ Image

PCL mode is effective in the following cases:

❐ when you want to print a file created with MS-DOS application ❐ when you want to print a PCL format file.

GDI mode works very well with most software packages. However, some applications can create output that is too complex for Windows to display accurately on the screen - a file with a sophisticated embedded graphic image might be an example. Here GDI might work fine for draft copies but falls short of the quality needed for final output. For these situations WinStyler provides a PCL mode.

Changing the printing mode

There are two methods to change the printing mode, GDI mode or PCL mode.

Changing the printing mode from an application

Most of the popular Windows applications allow you to change GDI mode / PCL mode. For example, to do it on Microsoft Write, perform the following.

Select "Print Setup..." under File menu. Print Setup window will be

displayed.

PC-PRINTING Selecting the Printing Mode

Select the desired printing mode. To change to GDI mode, select

"WinStyler T175 GDI - WST175:". To change to PCL mode, select "WinStyler T175 PCL - WST175:".

Changing the printing mode by using the "Printers" folder (Windows 95)

Click the START button on the task bar.

Select the menu item "Settings" and click.

Select the menu item "Printers" and click.

Select the desired printer device. To change to GDI mode, select " WinStyler

T175 GDI". To change to PCL mode, select "WinStyler T175 PCL". Click the right mouse button.

Click on "Set As Default". The printing mode you selected in step 4

appears in the "Default Printer" field.

Changing the printing mode by using the Control Panel in Windows (Windows 3.1)

Restore the "Main" window in the Program Manager (if this window has

been minimized). Double-click on the "Control Panel" icon in the "Main" window.

Double-click on the "Printers" icon in the "Control Panel" window.

Select the desired printing mode. To change to GDI mode, select

"WinStyler T175 GDI on T175GDI". To change to PCL mode, select "WinStyler T175 PCL on T175PCL".

Click on "Set As Default Printer". The printing mode you selected in step 4

appears in the "Default Printer" field. Click on Close.

WinStyler T175 GDI Mode (Windows 95) PC-PRINTING

WinStyler T175 GDI Mode (Windows 95)

GDI mode takes advantage of Windows’ own internal design to produce documents faster than most conventional printers can. Other printers require Windows to translate a document into a special printer language, such as PCL on LaserJet printers. GDI mode reduces overhead by eliminating this translation step before starting to print. This results in faster printing - as much as four to five times faster for some files.

GDI mode has a speed advantage with documents that have multiple fonts. A standard printer language such as PostScript must do extra work for each different font in a document. In contrast, printing the same document in GDI mode requires only a small amount of additional processing, which means quick text printing no matter how many fonts are included.

GDI Property Screen

You can access the setup screen from the Setup or Print Setup feature of many applications. You can also reach it from the Printers screen of the Windows Control Panel.

The setup screen lets you change the following settings:

❐ Copies ❐ Print Quality ❐ Orientation ❐ Paper Size ❐ Paper Media ❐ Paper Source

❐ Use Print Manager

(Top Page, Manual Duplexing, Overlay)

❐ Print to File ❐ Scale ❐ 2 up/4 up ❐ Image

PC-PRINTING WinStyler T175 GDI Mode (Windows 95)

Copies

Copies determines how many copies of your document will be printed by your printer.

Scale

Use Scale to reduce or enlarge your output on the printed page. You can enter a number from 10% to 500%, or click on the arrows to increase or reduce the setting.

Note: Changing the Scale may sometimes break the edges of your output. If

it is occurs, reset the margin.

2 up / 4 up

WinStyler lets you print 2 or 4 pages on a single sheet of paper. Select 2 up if you want WinStyler to print two pages on one sheet of paper. (In

portrait mode, the pages show up side by side as if in a book.) Select 4 up if you want WinStyler to print four pages on one sheet of paper. Select 1 up if you wish to print normally.

Draw Frame Border

If you click on Draw Frame Border, WinStyler will draw a box around each page on the paper.

Note: 1 Selecting 2 up/4 up may sometimes break the edges of your output.

If it is occurs, reset the margin.

2 If you want to use the Overlay with 2 up/4 up, create the Overlay file

by 2 up/4 up in advance, then use it for the output of 2 up/4 up.

Orientation

For Orientation, choose Portrait or Landscape. If you choose Portrait, your output appears with the papers shorter edges at top and bottom, and longer edges at the side, like a business memo. If you choose Landscape, your output appears with the longer edges at the top and bottom, and the shorter edges at the sides. Landscape is sometimes used for graphs, spreadsheets, and presentation slides.

PC-PRINTING WinStyler T175 PCL Mode

WinStyler T175 PCL Mode

No cartridges required

Some conventional printers include cartridge slots that allow you to, for example, install additional fonts into the printer. Since WinStyler creates printer page images on your system before downloading to the printer, installing a cartridge could not affect the final printout. Instead, WinStyler uses the fonts installed in your Windows system.

Saving downloaded fonts and macros in PCL mode

By default, when your application prints using WinStyler’s PCL mode, the PCL interpreter will start up, print the document, and then shut itself off automatically. This means the PCL interpreter does not take up memory on your PC except when needed.

However, when the PCL interpreter turns itself off, any downloaded fonts or macros will be lost, just as if you had turned off a regular PCL printer. You can preserve this information by using the WinStyler T175 Print Manager to keep the PCL interpreter active.

From the Windows Program Manager, double-click on the WinStyler T175

Printer Manager icon in the WinStyler T175 Tools group.

Download macros or soft fonts in advance, if desired, using the ADD button

to copy the macro or soft font data to the printer. (You can also copy the files from DOS under Windows, by using the command "COPY/B <file.ext> LPT1", where <file.ext> is the name of the file you wish to download.)

Minimize the WinStyler T175 Print Manager to an icon, if desired.

Start or return to your application and print your document.

This will preserve your downloaded fonts and macros. Also, if your next print job also uses PCL, it will take less time to print because the WinStyler PCL interpreter has already been loaded. However, if you switch from PCL to GDI mode, this information will be lost, just as if you were changing printer languages in a conventional printer.

WinStyler T175 PCL Control Panel PC-PRINTING

WinStyler T175 PCL Control Panel

WinStyler was designed to print with Windows. However, many Windows users need to run MS-DOS applications occasionally. WinStyler lets you print from MS-DOS applications you only have to run the application from Windows, or within the DOS box under Windows. WinStyler also provides a PCL Control Panel for DOS PCL printing. This allows you to change printer settings for your DOS print jobs. (Note: some DOS applications may override these settings.) While the PCL Control Panel is included primarily for DOS print jobs, it also can affect the default settings for Windows PCL print jobs. However, the Windows printer driver overrides the corresponding settings in the PCL Control Panel.

Form Feed

Click on Form Feed if you need to eject a page from the printer. Some PCL files do not include a form feed (a command to eject a page) at the end of the file, so if you are printing to a conventional PCL printer, you have to press a form feed key to see your output. This happens frequently in MS-DOS. For example, if you use the DIR LPT1: command in the MS-DOS box in Windows, the job sent to the PCL interpreter will not have a form feed at the end, so that the last page (or a single page) won’t print.

WinStyler puts this form feed key here on the PCL Control Panel. Note: If WinStyler T175 Print Manager (in the program group "WinStyler

Tools") is closed, a PCL file which does not include a form feed at the end of the file is printed automatically.

PC-PRINTING WinStyler T175 PCL Control Panel

Reset

The Reset returns the printer to its reset state. In other words, it clears all data from the printers memory, including forms, macros, and unprinted page images. In fact, it works just like the reset key on a conventional printer. Note that the Reset does not change the printer settings (orientation, paper size, number of copies, etc.) back to their default values. You will need to click on the Defaults key to restore these to their defaults.

Default Font lets you select the default typeface, size, and style for output from MS-DOS applications run under Windows, and for Windows PCL print jobs. Both MS-DOS and Windows applications can override the default font selection. Please note you do not have access to Windows TrueType fonts for MS-DOS print jobs.

Margins

The Margins settings let you define the top, bottom, left, and right margins for PCL print jobs, as measured from the edge of the paper. You can select either centimeters or inches as the unit of measure for these. Please note that DOS and Windows applications may override these settings.

Copies

Copies determines how many copies of your document will be printed by your printer.

Click on OK for your changes to take effect. When you exit, the PCL Control Panel will load the PCL compatible interpreter into your PCs memory. This will save time when you later print from MS-DOS applications under Windows. However, you can close the PCL compatible interpreter and recover the memory, if you wish. Click on the PCL icon, then click on Close. This deletes the PCL compatible interpreter from memory until you print from an MS-DOS application under Windows, at which time it will be re-loaded automatically.

Fonts in GDI Mode PC-PRINTING

Fonts in GDI Mode

One benefit of WinStyler GDI’s WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) approach becomes clear as you use fonts. In Windows, any font you can see on the screen will work with your printer. This includes TrueType, Type 1 (through Adobes ATM software), and Intellifont (through Intellifont for Windows). TrueType is usually the most efficient, since it is already built into Windows. However, in most cases the performance difference between TrueType and other kinds of fonts is negligible.

One advantage of GDI mode becomes evident when you work with documents that have multiple fonts. A standard printer language such as PostScript must fetch additional information every time it processes a new font in a document. A document with a large number of different fonts can take a noticeably long time to print. In GDI mode, the work of fetching font information takes place at the time the document is retrieved and displayed to the screen. Printing the document requires only a small amount of additional processing, which means quick text printing no matter how many fonts are included.

Note: Windows includes some special built-in fonts that were not meant for

printing, such as Helv and MS Serif. These special fonts were designed for screen display, so their resolution (number of dots per inch) is coarser than the fonts that normally appear on a printed page. It is recommended that you not select these fonts when creating your documents. If you only need TrueType fonts (identified with a TT symbol on your font list), you can remove all others from your list of available fonts, by following the procedure below.

Open the Main Group in the Program Manager.

Double-click the Control Panel icon.

Double-click the Fonts icon.

Click the TrueType button.

Select Show Only TrueType Fonts in Applications, and click OK to exit the

TrueType dialog box.

Introduction INSTALLING THE WINSTYLER T175

APPENDIX A:

INSTALLING THE WINSTYLER T175

Introduction

WinStyler is a new-generation printer driver with scanning and PC-faxing utilities developed for Windows users. It is a "plug-and-play" solution, which means it requires no special add-in cards, cartridge, or cables. WinStyler uses the power of your PC under Windows to create fast, high quality laser output. As you add memory or move up to a more powerful PC, WinStyler’s performance will increase along with your system.

The WinStyler software allows you to select from two different printer modes: GDI mode provides fast, WYSIWYG output by taking advantage of Windows’

native graphics and text features PCL emulation mode provides compatibility with the popular printer language used in the LaserJet IIP. Both Windows applications and DOS applications running under Windows can use PCL emulation mode for printing.

System Requirements (Windows 95)

Operating system: Windows 95 or greater.

PC: Basically, all the IBM-compatible PCs, which meet with the requirement

specified by Microsoft for running Windows 95, can let WinStyler work well. But for the purpose of working smoothly, it is recommended to let WinStyler work on a PC with at least a 486DX33MHz CPU. There is no possibility for WinStyler to run on a 286-based PC and other earlier systems.

I/O: Standard PC parallel printer port and cable. Memory: At least 8 MB PC memory (RAM), which is also the moderate

amount of memory recommended by Microsoft for use with Windows 95. Adding more memory to your PC will increase overall system and printer performance.

INSTALLING THE WINSTYLER T175 System Requirements (Windows 95)

Disk space: About 4 MB disk space for files, and up to approximately 12 MB

disk space for virtual memory. You can see or modify your Virtual Memory through the SYSTEM icon on the Windows Control Panel.

If you have more than 8 MB RAM, you won’t need all 12 MB virtual memory. Total PC RAM plus virtual memory should add up to at least 16 MB.

Allocating Virtual Memory: It is recommended to let Windows 95 automatically handle virtual memory. If not, you shall allocate virtual memory by yourself via SYSTEM icon of Control Panel. WinStyler software requires 16 MB of total memory, divided between your PC memory (a minimum of 8 MB) and your Windows virtual memory. If your system has 8 MB of PC RAM, then you must allocate at least 8 MB of virtual memory. If you have 5 MB of RAM, then you need at least 11 MB of virtual memory, and so on.

To change the virtual memory, follow the instructions below. The following instructions assume your system has 8 MB of PC RAM.

Start Windows 95.

Double-click on the "Control Panel" folder.

Double-click on the "SYSTEM" icon.

Click the tab "Performance".

Click "Virtual Memory". The virtual Memory dialog box will be displayed.

The item "Let Windows manage my virtual memory setting

(recommended)" is the default setting . If you don’t want to change it, just simply quit.

If you select the item "Let me specify my own virtual memory setting", you

shall give the minimum setting as well as the maximum setting in the following dialog boxes.

Click "OK".

Click "Restart Windows" to make the setting effective.

System Requirements (Windows 3.1) INSTALLING THE WINSTYLER T175

System Requirements (Windows 3.1)

Operating system: Windows 3.1 or greater in Enhanced Mode, and MS-DOS

3.3 or later. PC: An IBM-compatible PC with at least a 386SX 16MHz CPU. This includes

all 486-based and almost all 386-based PCs. Some older 386s cannot run in Windows Enhanced Mode, which means that WinStyler will not work properly on those systems. WinStyler will not run on 286-based PCs and other earlier systems. If you have Windows installed on your PC, you can verify whether it runs in Enhanced Mode by typing WIN/3 at the MS-DOS prompt. If your PC cannot run Windows in Enhanced Mode, the system will tell you.

I/O: Standard PC parallel printer port and cable. Memory: At least 4 MB PC memory (RAM), which is also the minimum

amount of memory recommended by Microsoft for use with Windows. Adding more memory to your PC will increase overall system and printer performance.

Disk space: About 4 MB disk space for files, and up to approximately 8.5 MB disk space for virtual memory. You can see or modify your Virtual Memory through the 386 Enhanced icon on the Windows Control Panel.

If you have more than 4 MB RAM, you won’t need all 8.5 MB virtual memory. Total PC RAM plus virtual memory should add up to at least 12.5 MB.

Allocating Virtual Memory: WinStyler software requires 12.5 MB of total memory, divided between your PC memory (a minimum of 4 MB) and your Windows virtual memory. If your system has 4 MB of PC RAM, then you must allocate at least 8.5 MB of virtual memory. If you have 5 MB of RAM, then you need at least 7.5 MB of virtual memory, and so on.

To change the virtual memory, follow the instructions below. For more information on virtual memory, refer to the Optimizing Windows section in the Microsoft Windows 3.1 User’s Guide.

The following instructions assume your system has 4 MB of PC RAM.

Optimizing Printer Performance INSTALLING THE WINSTYLER T175

Optimizing Printer Performance

Upgrading to a more powerful CPU will of course improve performance, but this is not practical for everyone. Here are some other suggestions.

Add more memory (Windows 95)

WinStyler requires a minimum of 8MB memory on your PC, the moderate amount Microsoft recommends for Windows 95. However, adding more PC memory gives WinStyler additional "breathing room." The additional memory reduces the overhead of having to manage limited space, and also allows more resources to run other Windows applications while you print.

Add more memory (Windows 3.1)

WinStyler requires a minimum of 4MB memory on your PC, the same amount Microsoft recommends for Windows 3.1. However, adding more PC memory gives WinStyler additional "breathing room." The additional memory reduces the overhead of having to manage limited space, and also allows more resources to run other Windows applications while you print.

Close unneeded applications

This will free up memory and improve WinStyler’s performance.

Use GDI wherever possible

When Windows applications print to conventional printers, they translate their output description into a printer language, which the appropriate printer driver interprets to create a picture of the output. GDI mode saves time by skipping the translation and interpretation steps. The result is faster printing. Although the quality of GDI output varies by application, GDI mode works especially well for text output and most graphics. Try GDI with your documents to see if it meets your requirements.

Change the print priority

The WinStyler T175 Print Manager lets you select Low, Medium, or High Priority printing. If you want faster printing, set the priority to High. If you want to maximum use of other applications, and don’t mind waiting longer for output, set the priority to Low.

Don’t use the WinStyler T175 Print Manager when printing in GDI mode.

INSTALLING THE WINSTYLER T175 Optimizing Printer Performance

For fastest possible printing, you can shut off the WinStyler T175 Print Manager altogether for GDI mode. Go to the GDI Setup Options Screen and make sure the box titled Use WinStyler T175 Print Manager is blank.

Note: Turning off the WinStyler T175 Print Manager disables some features

of the WinStyler T175 printer, such as manual duplex printing. Also, the

WinStyler T175 Print manager is still required for PCL mode. Disable automatic display of Print Status. You can also save some system resources if you turn off Display Status While

Printing. When this feature is turned on, the Print Status icon pops up whenever you print. Turning off this feature means you only see the Print Status screen if an error warning occurs.
