Forward 2.71 安装程序

Readme for the Windows 95 CalComp Driver release 4.12. This driver supports both the PostScript language and CalComp's raster format CCRF. It uses the standard Windows 95 postscript driver for both formats. The CCRF is created by using a PostScript compatible interpreter running in background. INSTALLATION From the "Start" menu select "Settings" then "Printers". From the "Printers" windows double click "Add Printer" and follow the screens. For more details on installing a system printer driver consult your Windows documentation. PRINTER FEATURES The Device Options windows contain provisions for: Output Format - CalComp CCRF, CCRF-IL or PostScript-language-compatible data is output to the printer or file. Output Mode - the printer modes are selected with this setting. Refer to the printer User's Guide or Operators Manual for details Output Scaling - This should scale both the image and the page size by the factor selected. Color Mode - Determines if the print is color or monochrome. Dithering - Determines the type of dithering applied to the print. Ink Type - This selection is only for the CalComp 5500 36" model. If you have a MaxInk system installed, select the type of Ink you are using. Otherwise select Cartridges. This is only important if you are using Color Matching described below. Color Match - This feature uses the color profiles for you device to convert application RGB data to CMYK data before printing. Print processing is faster when this Color Matching is "Off", but the colors are more faithfully reproduced when Color Match is "On". You must also select the type of media you are using in the "Paper" tab under "More Options". We suggested that Color Match be "On" for all photographic type prints. With applications that output CYMK data the color match function is bypassed, the CMYK data is not altered and print processing time is not changed. PrintToFile - This feature processes print data through this driver's raster data processor and sends the data to a file. This feature is a work around because the "Print to file" option in the application printer window will produce only postscript data. You will be prompted for the file name when the spooler starts processing the job. CalComp Model - This read-only model number reflects the printer model supported by this driver. The background rasterizer uses this information to know which device is being printed to. This is because the same background task supports multiple models. CalComp Version - this read-only number is the CalComp version number of this driver. The driver version in the about windows in the "Paper" tab is the driver version for the windows PostScript driver. It is also used to indicate to the background rasterization features of the model connected. TROUBLE SHOOTING PLUG AND PLAY PROBLEMS If a previous version of the CalComp Windows 95 system printer driver was loaded you may experience the following problem. When turning on the computer it prompts you to load an older version of the Windows 95 driver even though the new driver is installed. To correct this problem do the following. 1. Delete all the CalComp Windows 95 system printer drivers. 2. In the windows/inf folder delete the calcomp.inf file. Backup copies of the inf files are named Oem0.inf, Oem1.inf... Delete any of these files that are backup copies of the Calcomp.inf file. 3. Reboot the computer. 4. When the plug and play indicates a new device on the port it will prompt for the driver location. Browse to the new version driver location, (hard drive folder or floppy drive). 5. follow the screen prompts to install the driver. UPDATING FROM PREVIOUS RELEASES We recommend that you reboot your system when updating from a previous released version of the driver. This is because some of the compontents may have to be reloaded into memory. We have had problems with color profiles not functioning correctly and other problems that were corrected by rebooting the system. If rebooting the system does not fix any problems you are having. Remove all of the CalComp drivers from you system. Make sure the system has deleted the GSDLL32.DLL and CALPRINT.DLL from the windows/system directory. Also make sure all of the CalComp PPDs are deleted from the system. A listing of the PPD's used by each of the models is listed at the end of this readme. Then re-install the drivers. GENERAL ANOMALIES When printing to a file from the printer dialog box or by setting the printer port to file, you will always get a PostScript file regardless of option that is set in the device options box. For a work around for saving CCRF files, we made a "Print to file" option. The system will prompt you for a files name when is starts printing the job. When printing to a TechJET printer the message "print was clipped" will appear on the control panel when no clipping occurred. In the paper options of the driver, you will only be able to edit the unprintable area for the first 20 defined page sizes. This is also true for the custom page sizes. For EcoPro users the device resolution in the graphics windows always shows 400x400. But the actual resolution will be set in the device options windows under output mode. See you EcoPro documentation for the resolution for each of the modes. In CCRF mode, if the system disk fills up before the data is sent to the device or network spooler and job and fail and the system will not give you a warning. You will need to free up some system disk space to process the job. APPLICATION ANOMALIES. Some applications will override the "Rotated Landscape" option in the paper tab of the driver. Adobe PageMaker Adobe PageMaker will ignore the default setting set in the driver window. You will have to select the device setting in PageMaker's printing window. If you are sending CCRF data you will need to select at least the "CalComp Model" and "CalComp Version" to get the correct output. These selections are used to tell the background task which device will be receiving the data. It is recommended that you make the appropriate selection of each of the device features and do not leave any of the selections to "Printer's Default". The "print to file" feature does not work with PageMaker. PageMaker will always print raster data. A work around for this is to print directly to the printer and not spool the data. Then you will always print PostScript data, with this method some of the device features may not work correctly. Macromedia FreeHand Macromedia FreeHand does not always parse our PPD's correctly. We recommend that you do not select a PPD when using FreeHand and set the printers features through the "Printers options" select in the print windows. When selecting the PPD we have had trouble with large custom page sizes and the device features not being present in the data stream so unexpected results are produced. The device output scaling gives different results depending on the application and printer being used. In the case of the Solus 4 we found the following results. Adobe Illustrator in raster mode the page size was scaled but the image was unaffected. In postscript mode the image and page size was unaffected. AutoCad release 13 in raster mode the image scaled correctly but in postscript mode the image was not printed. Corel Draw 5.0 in raster mode image scaled correctly but in postscript mode the page and image were not affected.
