(2) Open the folder which contains the installer program.
	"My Computer" > "FXOPS-PCL (E:)" > "English" > "AblePRII"
	> "NT40" > "PCL6" > "Setup"
    You can find the SETUP.EXE in this folder. Double click it to start
    the installer program. Note that the [Add Printer] icon in the
    [Printers] window in the [Control Panel] is not available for this
    printer driver.

    [I accept the terms of the above License Agreement] if you accept the
    terms. Then click the [Next] button.
 
(4) Now, only selectable the printer model on the first dialog of 
    the installer is "Xerox Able Model-PRII PCL 6". 

(5) Select the port used for the printer.

(6) If you DON'T want to make this the default printer, check it off and 
    click the [Next] button.

(7) If you want another name for this printer, input the name 
    and click the [Next] button.
    Default printer name is "Xerox Able Model-PRII PCL 6"

(8) Click the [Finish] button on the [Ready to Start Copying] dialog box.

(9) When the copying of files is completed, the [INSTALLATION SUCCESSFUL]
    dialog box appears. Click the [Printer Properties] or [Document
   Defaults] to configure the printer driver, or [Exit to Windows] to finish
   installation.

(10) Restart Windows NT/2000 system to make use of the printer driver.


3. Uninstallation
=================

(1) Execute "Unsetup.exe" in the same folder where you executed "Setup.exe"
    in the "PCL Driver/Network Utility" CD-ROM.

(2) Select printer model for "Xerox Able Model-PRII PCL 6" in the 
    "Printer Uninstall" dialogue.If you changed the printer name, it is shown 
    in the printer model list. And click the [Next] button.

(3) Click the [Finish] button on the "Ready to Start Deleting" dialog.

(4) To ensure a completely clean system or to re-install the printer driver,
    You must restart Windows.


4. Notes for Watermarks
=======================
The driver provides a wide input range in defining a watermark size,
length & position. Such flexible user input enables a watermark to be
created as small as to print on a Postcard or as large as to print on
an A3 paper. However, an extremely large watermark may not be printed
successfully on a relatively small paper in size.
It is the user's responsibility to define an appropriate watermark for
printing it on the selected paper type.

The Watermark Preview is close to the printed result but it may not
exactly match.
A watermark may not be printed correctly for these cases:

(1) Depending on the selected (bolded) font type, a watermark with long
    text length and/or huge text size may hit the maximum working memory
    limit. As a result, the actual output may differ from the desired
    output.

(2) Due to the technical limitation of Raster printing mode, a watermark 
    cannot be printed in background of a document.

(3) A watermark may be clipped by the printable area if it is printed
    across the printable margins. The Watermark Preview Window does not
    reflect the printable area of the selected paper size.




5. General Comments
===================

(1) It is recommended that you restart the Windows system after completion
    of driver installation in order for the driver to work properly.

(2) It is also strongly recommended that you restart the Windows system 
    after completion of driver uninstallation.
    This is to ensure a completely clean system especially if you are
    to perform re-installation of driver. 

(3) If you encounter problem in setting up the driver by SETUP.EXE, you may
    use the Windows Add Printer Wizard to install the driver.
    Please refer to Oemsetup.txt for guidelines of driver installation
    via the Windows Add Printer Wizard.

(4) After installing the Windows NT4.0/2000 Xerox Able Model-PRII PCL 6 printer
    driver, you may also install an alternate Windows 95/98 printer driver
    on the Windows NT4.0/2000 system by running the SETUP.EXE provided by 
    the Windows 95/98 Xerox Able Model-PRII PCL 6 printer driver. This will
    allow users on the Windows 95/98 system to download it automatically
    when they connect.

(5) Some applications provide printing options pertaining to the number
    of copies and collating copies.  Always select the printing options
    in the application unless the instructions specify otherwise.
    Use the printer driver dialogs to select advanced options such as
    duplex (2-sided) printing, or options that are not available in the
    application.

(6) If your Job Offset output does not work well with the collated copies,
    you may try to deselect the "Collate" option in the application
    and check the "Collate" check box in the printer driver.

(7) Always close the printer driver dialogs and/or the application Print
    dialog before you make any changes to the default settings of the
    printer driver via the Control Panel.

(8) Not all graphics and images can be printed using the "Vector" graphics
    setting. If you use the "Vector" setting and your graphic images do
    not print the same way they appear on your screen, select the "Raster"
    graphics setting and reprint your graphic.
    
(9) If you expect the printed texts to be "what you see is what you get",
    deselect the "Use Printer's TrueType Fonts" option.

(10) Select and deselect the "Use Printer's TrueType Fonts" option in driver
     will affect the layout of your print job.
     Use of Printer's TrueType Fonts will result in smaller size in texts,
     tables and graphic images printed.
     Do not select "Use Printer's TrueType Fonts" option if you are expecting
     images from the application are printed in their actual sizes.

(11) The driver's Overlay function is enabled for users who are assigned with
     the Administrators / Power Users right.

(12) When using Scaled booklet with document of mixed orientations, the output
     will be printed in Portrait.

(13) Using large percentage for Scale Factor together with large paper size,
     "Scaling" printing may not be possible.


6. Limitations
==============

(1) The printed output quality of some pattern-on-colour shaded graphic
    images may not be well handled. You may choose a different graphic
    colour/pattern to resemble the desired printout.


(2)  Colour texts are always printed in Black in most applications when Raster
     mode is selected.
     
     Workaround: Select "Vector" mode to print the job.


(3)  Graphic images from Adobe Photoshop 4.0 may not be printed correctly at
     400 DPI. (Ref:SN18)

     Workaround: Select 600 DPI to print the job.


(4)  In Vector printing mode, selecting "All Texts to Black" control may not
     apply to some texts that are greater than 70 points. Texts with large font
     size may be printed as graphics and hence its 'black' attribute is lost.
     (Ref:SNNT17)

     Applications that were tested to have this problem are:
       Microsoft PowerPoint 97
       WordPro 97
    
     Workaround: Select "Raster" mode to print the job.


(5)  Some applications draw graphic images on the page before the text is
     drawn in "Raster" mode. As a result, the graphics may be covered by
     the opaque background of the text and hence, these covered images may
     not be printed physically. (Ref:SN20)
 
     Applications that were tested to have this problem are:
       Microsoft WordPad
       Microsoft Excel 97

     Workaround: Select "Vector" mode to print the job.


(6)  Outline texts must be printed using downloaded fonts.
     "Use Printer's TrueType Fonts" option must be unchecked to print texts as
     outline because device (PCL) fonts do not support Outline attribute.
     (Ref:SNNT43)


(7)  The texts in the Data Label of Microsoft Excel 97 may have their font
     background each font printed as white in Raster mode. (Ref:FX#485)

     Workaround: Select "Vector" mode to print the job.


(8)  The colour lines in the chart of Microsoft Excel 97 may be printed as
     black in Raster mode. (Ref:FX#486)  

     Workaround: Select "Vector" mode to print the job.


(9) You may get unexpected stapled position if the Staple function is applied
    to the following print jobs:
    > documents that have page orientation different to that of the driver default
      orientation.
    > N-Up printing of documents that have page size different to that of the driver
      default paper size.


(10) The watermark should not be used for creating an overlay. Otherwise, unexpected
     result may occur.


(11) If "Download as Bit Image" is used together with "As Outline Only" for the
     watermarks, the watermarks may not be printed as outline fonts.

     Workaround: Select "Download as TrueType" for the TrueType mode.



7. Known Problems
=================

(1) The N-Up function is not recommended for printing a document that has
    both Portrait and Landscape pages. Depending on the page arrangement of
    a document, the logical page order from one physical page to another
    may be changed.
    For example, if a document has different orientation on its first page
    and third page, the 2-Up printing will output the third and fourth pages
    on the second physical page with swapped order as compared to the first
    and second pages on the first physical page. (Ref:SN69)
