II. Installation Instructions:
Before the new PCL 5 drivers can be installed, an Update program must be
run to update the Lotus 1-2-3 Install Program, copy the new fonts to your
1-2-3 directory, and unpack the appropriate WYSIWYG drivers.
The UPDATE program will determine which version of 1-2-3 you have installed
in the disk and directory path you specify.
If 1-2-3 Release 2.3 or 2.4 is found, the UPDATE program will display
which version has been found and give you an opportunity to proceed
with the update or to press Ctrl-Break and abort the upgrade process.
After proceeding, UPDATE will copy over the new fonts and an update to the
Install Program. Then it will unpack the appropriate WYSIWYG drivers.

III. Usage Notes:
You should explicitly select your printer in WYSIWYG using the : Print
Configure Printer menu item before printing. Saving the worksheet will
save the new printer name with the worksheet and FMT file if the printer
name was changed.
It is important to NOT rename the IFL files, as their specific names are
necessary for proper use with the PCL 5 drivers. It is also important to
go through the Generating Fonts part of INSTALL, otherwise, you will not
be able to access the new fonts.
If you have worksheets that used the old HP Universe, HP Courier,
or any previous versions of the HP IFL files, you must use :Format Font
Replace and select the new IFL files. After that, save the worksheet.
This will guarantee that the new IFL files are in use and that the
enhancements in the updated driver will take effect.
