make any changes necessary to reflect your printer
configuration.

you will highlight the LaserJet IIID printer in the
Printer list.

update your WIN.INI file with information about
the new driver features.
Click on OK to exit the Printers-Configure menu.

FEATURES
=====================================================================
The Hewlett-Packard LaserJet III, IIID Printer Driver (filename HPPCL5A.DRV)
version 3.61 contains the following features:
* Support for the LaserJet IIID printer, including access to
dual paper trays and duplexing (two-sided printing).
From Control Panel, Printers, Configure, Setup click on Printer at
the top of the screen, click on HP LaserJet IIID. To select multiple
paper bins, click on Paper Source and select Upper Tray, Lower Tray,
Automatic, Envelope, or Manual Feed. Click on Options to select
Duplexing Short Edge binding or Long Edge binding.
* Support of two new Hewlett-Packard scalable typeface cartridges:
Brilliant Presentations I/Compelling Publications II
Distinctive Documents I/Compelling Publications I
The cartridges can be selected from the cartridge list in the
Printer Setup dialog box. Each cartridge font is available in
the Windows ANSI (WN) symbol set, with the exception of Zapf
Dingbats, which is available in the following symbol sets:
Series 100 (D1), Series 200 (D2), Series 300 (D3), and
Postscript (DS).
* Support of the Hewlett-Packard WordPerfect bitmapped font cartridge.
* Faster printing of graphics.
In 386 mode, the speed of printing graphics has been
significantly improved for applications that use metafiles.
The speed of printing bitmaps has not been affected.
* Ability to use reverse type (white text on solid rectangles).
NOTE: Only square cornered solid-filled rectangles work for reverse
type.
To print white text in PageMaker, you must select the Fast Rules
option in the Print screen before clicking the OK button.
* Support for changing print direction on a single page in
90 degree increments (0, 90, 180, 270 degrees).
* Two graphic appearance selections -- Gray Scale Graphics
"on" or "off" --
The Printer Setup dialog box in the Windows Control Panel
allows you to choose Gray Scale Graphics.
For an improved photographic appearance, turn on Gray Scale
Graphics. Your images will have smooth, soft looking contrasts
between shades of gray. Images originally designed with color
will print better too.
For images that have a "line draw" look, turn off Gray Scale
Graphics. Though the fine details of line work will be
clear, the contrasts between shaded areas can appear harsh.
* A PageProtection menu now appears in the Printer Setup dialog box.
NOTE: The setting in the PageProtection menu in the Printer Setup
dialog box does not affect the printer's configuration, but only
reflects it. To change the PAGEPROTECT setting in the printer,
the printer's control panel must be used.
Select the setting that corresponds to the printer's control panel
PAGEPROTECT setting. This setting, in combination with the Memory
box setting, tells the printer driver how much of the memory available
in the printer is usable by the printer driver.
* Selection of envelope paper sizes.
* Help file updated.
* Changes to font symbol set references
To provide WYSIWYG capabilities, user-selected symbol sets
are now printed as they are defined, instead of being
remapped or translated to the Windows ANSI set. For
example, Roman-8 fonts now print according to the Roman-8
mapping, rather than Windows ANSI.
In internal fonts, scalable cartridge fonts, and Type Director
scalable fonts, the symbol set appears as part of the font name
in the application's font menu. In these cases, the symbol set
is represented by a two character abbreviation in parentheses.
For example:
Fontname (XX)
Where XX represents the two character symbol set code.
