HEWLETT-PACKARD LASERJET 4L PRINTING SYSTEM FOR MICROSOFT
WINDOWS 3.1 INTRODUCTION

***************************************************************

The HP LaserJet 4L Printing System for Microsoft Windows 3.1 is
a collection of software that gives you convenient access to your
printer's features when used in the Microsoft Windows 3.1 
environment.  


***************************************************************

FEATURES OF THE HP LASERJET 4L PRINTING SYSTEM FOR MICROSOFT 
WINDOWS 3.1

****************************************************************

The HP LaserJet 4L Printing System for Microsoft Windows 3.1 
version 31.V1.00 provides the following new features:

Automatic Setup.

    The HP LaserJet 4L Printing System for Microsoft Windows 3.1
    provides its own automatic setup program.  It is NOT 
    necessary to install this printing system through the 
    Control Panel.  Setup instructions are detailed in this 
    README file.

Graphical Status Window.

    The HP LaserJet 4L Printing System for Microsoft Windows 3.1
    Status Window graphically displays printing status and error
    information about the printer on the PC screen.  A small 
    Window pops up automatically when a job is printed and 
    displays an image of the printer as well as the name of the
    print job and the current time.  If an error occurs during the
    print job, information is provided in the Status Window 
    regarding the error.  In addition, condition-specific Help
    information can be accessed by pressing F1 or choosing the 
    Help option on the Status Window menu.

    The HP LaserJet 4L Printing System for Microsoft Windows 3.1 
    Bi-Tronics I/O communication driver for the PC and printer
    parallel port allows bi-directional communication to the PC
    in order to provide status and error information to be 
    displayed by the Status Window.    
  
Support for Sound.

    The Microsoft Windows 3.1 Sound driver for the PC speaker as 
    well as several sound files are provided with the HP LaserJet
    4L Printing System.  This sound driver utilizes the audio
    speaker of the PC to communicate printer conditions verbally
    in conjunction with the Status Window.

Updated Version of Microsoft Print Manager for Windows 3.1.

    This updated version of the Print Manager provides an expanded
    Tool Bar from which you can pause and resume print queues as
    well as pause, resume, re-order, and delete individual print
    jobs.  Additionally, a new Information button is provided 
    which when pressed activates the HP LaserJet 4L Status Window.
    The Print Manager must be enabled and activated for proper 
    Status Window performance.  The Setup program automatically 
    enables and activates the Windows Print Manager during 
    installation.

Support for Graphics Quality.

    The LaserJet 4L Printing System supports 300, 150, and 75 
    dpi. The actual graphics resolution settings are denoted by 
    the descriptive terms of High, Medium, and Low rather than 
    the actual dpi.

Support for the internal Intellifont typefaces.
    All the internal Intellifont typefaces in the HP LaserJet 
    4L printer are supported in the 19U symbol set.  To obtain 
    WYSIWYG results, use HP Intellifont which supports on-the-fly
    screen fonts to match your printer fonts in Windows 3.1.

Support for HP-GL/2
    Support for HP-GL/2 is provided in the HP LaserJet 4L Printing
    System for Microsoft Windows 3.1 version 31.V1.00.  Under the 
    Options Dialog in the Printer Setup, an option of "Graphics 
    Mode" is available. Two options are present:  HP-GL/2 or 
    Raster. The first choice enables HP-GL/2 which will increase
    print performance.  The second choice uses raster only.  The 
    default graphics mode is set to raster for the HP LaserJet 4L.  
    
Support for EconoMode  
    Support for EconoMode is provided in the HP LaserJet 4L 
    Printing System for Microsoft Windows 3.1 version 31.V1.00 
    within the Options Dialog.  There are two options available, 
    On or Off. With EconoMode enabled the output will resemble 
    draft mode, using fewer dots in order to conserve toner.

Support for Print Density 
    Print density support is provided in the Options Dialog. 
    Adjust the density of the printer according to the desired 
    density.  The density range is one (lightest) to five 
    (darkest).

Dialog Support for REt
    Another feature added to the Option Dialog is the REt
    (Resolution Enhancement technology) box.  The options here
    are Light, Medium, Dark, and Off.


***************************************************************

***************************************************************

To use the HP LaserJet 4L Printing System for Microsoft Windows
3.1, you must have the following:

    - An HP LaserJet 4L printer

    - DOS version 3.31 or later

    - Microsoft Windows 3.1 or later

    - An IBM-compatible 286 computer, or faster

    - A high-density floppy disk drive 

    - 2 MBytes RAM (4 MBytes recommended for satisfactory Windows

    LaserJet Fax, most hardware print spoolers, some software 
    print spoolers, and some switch boxes.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 

***************************************************************

To install the HP LaserJet 4L Printing System for Microsoft 
Windows 3.1 version 31.V1.00:

NOTE:  If you intend to use HP Intellifont for Windows to
    produce screen fonts for the Intellifont typefaces in the
    HP LaserJet 4L, you must install Intellifont for Windows 
    BEFORE installing the printing system. Please refer to 
    the Intellifont for Windows instructions.

1.  Start Microsoft Windows.

2.  Insert the HP LaserJet 4L Printing System for Microsoft 
    Windows 3.1 Setup disk into a high-density 3.5" floppy disk
    drive (usually A or B).

3.  From the Windows Program Manager select the File menu.

4.  Choose RUN.

5.  Type A:\SETUP (or B:\SETUP) and press ENTER.

6.  Follow the instructions on the computer screen.


NOTE:  Once you have installed the HP LaserJet 4L Printing 
    System for Microsoft Windows 3.1, if an older Hewlett-Packard
    printer driver installation for the LaserJet 4 family is 
    later attempted, Windows will prompt the user with the 
    following message:

    	"The currently installed HPPCL5E.DRV is newer...
        than the one you are attempting to install.  Do
        you still want to install the file?"
     
    Select CANCEL for this dialog.  If NO is selected, there is 
    the possibility of damaging critical files needed for the 
    HP LaserJet 4L Printing System for Microsoft Windows 3.1.  
    Do not select YES unless the older driver is desired. 
    A more recent driver for your particular printer can be
    obtained by calling HP Driver Distribution at (303)353-7650
    in the USA and Canada or through your authorized HP dealer 
    in other countries.

NOTE:  In the event that you would like to deinstall the HP 
    LaserJet 4L Printing System for Microsoft Windows 3.1, the
    following instructions provide that ability:

    1.  From the Windows Program Manager select the File menu.

    2.  Choose RUN.

    3.  Type C:\WINDOWS\DINSTALL -FDINSTALL.INS

    4.  You will be prompted to ensure that the HP LaserJet 4L
        Printing System is to be deinstalled.

    This deinstallation will only disable the Status Window of 
    HP LaserJet 4L Printing System for Microsoft Windows 3.1.
    The updated Print Manager and printer driver will remain
    operable.
