Using Windows 3.0 with your NEC Pinwriter
________________________________________________________________
SOFTWARE: MICROSOFT WINDOWS 3.0 & APPLICATIONS
DEVICES: NEC 24-PIN PINWRITERS
VERSION: DRIVER VERSION 1.331
CREATED: 08/08/1990
The following files are included for using your NEC Pinwriter
with Windows version 3.0. This driver should replace all earlier
versions available from NEC.
NECPNSER DRV Windows 3.0 Pinwriter driver
NECPNSER HLP Help file for Windows 3.0 Pinwriter driver
This printer driver is supplied for use with Microsoft Windows
3.0, and will function correctly only when used with an NEC
24-pin Pinwriter.
If your printer is a color model, or has a color option kit
installed, full color output is available.
INSTALLATION
Follow the procedure for installing any new printer via the
control panel. Select the ADD PRINTER option from the printer
menu of Control Panel, go down the list of available printers
until UNLISTED PRINTER shows. Type INSTALL, and double click
on the name of the drive containing this diskette. Double click
on the filename NECPNSER.DRV and the printer driver will then be
copied to the subdirectory \SYSTEM of your Windows directory.
The NEC 24-pin option is then selectable from the list of
INSTALLED PRINTERS.
Please note that the NEC driver has been written to provide
online help on request. Control Panel does not copy the help
file, so you will need to copy it manually if you wish to make
use of help. You can do this by copying the file NECPNSER.HLP
to the subdirectory \SYSTEM of your Windows directory. Do this
in File Manager, or from DOS as follows (assuming the driver
diskette is in drive A: and Windows is in directory C:\WINDOWS):
COPY A:NECPNSER.HLP C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
SETUP
Click on the NEC 24-pin followed by the CONFIGURE button. Select
a suitable port, and then click on SETUP. At this point, you are
in the NEC Pinwriter driver setup menu.
Firstly, select OPTIONS, and then set the PRINTER TYPE to your
model. There are many other options available to you, which are
explained fully in the online help. However, for best general
purpose printing and good all-round results, we suggest the
following settings:-
Color Optimisation: Paper Half Tones
Exact Char position: ON
GDI Underline: ON
Text Quality: Letter
Bitmap Resolution: Medium (180 x 180)
NOTES
Please note that this driver is NOT SUITABLE for Microsoft
Windows versions before 3.0. A separate printer driver for NEC
Pinwriters is available for Windows 2.x from your NEC authorised
dealer. Note also that this driver will NOT function correctly
with non-NEC printers, and NEC will not support any attempt to
use such printers with this driver.
Note also that NEC from time to time launch new Pinwriter models.
Since this printer driver is a generic driver for all 24-pin
Pinwriters, it is likely to function correctly with any future
model Pinwriter.
For up-to-date information on Windows 3.0 drivers for other NEC
products, such as Silentwriters, Colormate PS and MultiSync video
controllers, please contact your local NEC authorised dealer.
