HP OfficeJet README.TXT File
2/01/96
Thank you for purchasing an HP OfficeJet. Most of your
questions can be answered by looking in the HP OfficeJet
User's Guide. This file contains information that was too
late to be included in the manual, or that is considered too
technical for the manual. Another source of information are
the documents you can receive via fax from HP
First Fax in the US at (800) 333-1917.

*****************************************************************
A. Installing the HP OfficeJet Printer Driver
=============================================
Windows 3.1/95 Installation - Print the INSTALL.TXT file to obtain the
instructions for installing the HP OfficeJet
software for the appropriate version of
Microsoft Windows.
B. Printing Application Notes
=============================
At the time the HP OfficeJet printer driver was released, the
following software application limitations existed:
ALDUS PAGEMAKER 5.0: You cannot cancel a print job from
PageMaker 5.0.
ALDUS PAGEMAKER 5.0: Color pattern fills do not always print
with the correct pattern.
ALDUS PAGEMAKER 5.0: Documents created in PageMaker 4.0
may not print correctly in PageMaker 5.0.
BORLAND QUATTRO PRO 1.0, 5.0: In Black Text mode, graph
backgrounds do not print.
COREL DRAW 4.0: Portions of printed output may be rotated 180
degrees and enlarged. Exit Windows and then restart Windows. Then
try printing again.
HP EXPLORER: IF you have the HP Explorer software for the HP
LaserJet 4L running in background and you attempt to print with
an HP OfficeJet printer driver, you may get an error message
"Not Enough Memory To Print". To print with the HP OfficeJet
printer driver, either turn off the HP Explorer Software or add
the "/x" switch to the STAT4L.EXE command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT
file. The command should then read
STAT4L.EXE /x
Using the /x switch may increase the time it takes for HP
Explorer to "Pop Up."
LOTUS 1-2-3 1.0/1.1: Shading does not print correctly with color
backgrounds. This is not a problem with documents created with
Lotus 1-2-3 version 4.0.
LOTUS AMI PRO 3.0: Background colors and fill patterns may not
print correctly.
LOTUS IMPROV 2.0: Images with scaling factors greater than 100%
will be clipped.
MICROSOFT EXCEL 4.0: Some light gray and gray patterns do not
print. Select a darker shade for patterns.
MICROSOFT EXCEL 4.0, 5.0: Some paths to the driver dialogs do not
work correctly and settings are not retained. Use the following
path to reach a printer setup that works:
For version 4.0 - File, Page Setup, Printer Setup, Setup.
For version 5.0 - File, Page Setup, Printers, Setup.
MICROSOFT POWERPOINT 3.0: A General Protection Fault occurs
when printing if spooling with SuperQueue 3.02. Turn SuperQueue
off to print from Powerpoint 3.0.
MICROSOFT PUBLISHER 1.0: You cannot change print settings from
Microsoft Publisher 1.0. You must change print settings through
the Control Panel.
MICROSOFT PUBLISHER 2.0: Information at the bottom of a page may
be clipped. Increase the bottom margin of your page to at least
0.67" or more from the paper edge.
MICROSOFT WORD (Versions 6.0 and earlier): Default footer
settings are outside the printable region. To move the footer
within the printable region, change the default footer settings
so that the footer is at least 0.67" or more from the paper edge.
MICROSOFT WORD 6.0: The default envelope configuration does not
work correctly. Select the correct orientation as follows:
1. Select "Envelopes and Labels" in the Tools menu.
2. Select "Feed".
3. Select "Face Down", make sure "Clockwise Rotation" is NOT
checked, and select the third icon from the right.
MICROSOFT WRITE 3.1: When printing envelopes, the left and right
margins are switched with each other. If clipping occurs when
printing envelopes, switch the left and right margin settings.
PRINTSHOP DELUXE 1.0: Information within 0.67 in. of the bottom
of the page is clipped. The program does not provide a means of
adjusting the bottom margin of the document to fit within the
limits of the printer driver's margin settings. This problem is
fixed in version 2.0.
SPC HARVARD GRAPHICS 2.0: If you are using Harvard Graphics with
SuperQueue version 3.01/3.02 and you get the error message
"SuperQueue cannot continue-disk may be full" when printing TIF
graphics, turn off SuperQueue and reprint the document.
SPC HARVARD GRAPHICS 2.0: When the HP OfficeJet Setup dialog
box is called from inside Harvard Graphics, Orientation and paper
size setting changes are ignored by Harvard Graphics.
SPC HARVARD GRAPHICS 1.021: Pie slices print as rectangles.
WORDPERFECT 6.0: Underlining and strikethrough for color text
does not print in Black Text mode. This problem has been fixed in
version 6.0a. Contact WordPerfect for upgrade information.
WORDPERFECT 6.0: WordPerfect reads the minimum print margins only
when it is first started. These margins are determined by the
paper size and orientation settings in the driver. If you are
unable to set the margins to the minimum values for the printer,
exit WordPerfect and make sure that the correct paper size and
orientation settings are set in the driver through the Windows
Control Panel. Then restart WordPerfect. This problem has been
fixed in version 6.0a. Contact WordPerfect for upgrade
information.
WORDPERFECT 6.0: Graphics may not print completely. To correct
you must edit the WIN.INI file at the [WPCorp-Windows Printer
Flags] section. Add the following line (note the spelling):
OFFICJET=0x00000006
Then, remove the file WPCSET.BIF in your Windows directory.
ZENOGRAPHICS SUPERQUEUE 3.01, 3.02: When printing PageMaker 4.0
documents in ageMaker 5.0, If the message "Fail to print" is
displayed, turn off SuperQueue and reprint the document.
*****************************************************************
C. Modifying the WIN.INI file to Change Printing Behavior
=========================================================
CAUTION: Do not change any settings in your WIN.INI file unless
specifically instructed to in this README.TXT to resolve an
application or printing problem. Changes to WIN.INI may adversely
affect your printing system.
For some application problems, the solution may involve modifying
your WIN.INI file. The HPSCNFIG.EXE file located in the directory
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM provides an easymethod for modifying control
values in this file. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Run the HPSCNFIG.EXE file from the Program Manager or File
Manager. A dialog box will be displayed with a list of check
boxes.
2. Check the check box specified in the software application note
for your application problem.
3. Click the OK Button.
The HPSCNFIG configuration program will modify the appropriate
control values in your WIN.INI file.
NOTE: You must restart Windows for the changes you have made to
take effect. Make sure that you close all open documents
before restarting Windows.
