MORE INFORMATION
================

IBM 4019 Emulation Settings
---------------------------

The IBM 4019 laser printer supports the following emulations:

- IBM Personal Printer Data Stream (PPDS) (ASCII)

  To use this mode, press and hold the PAPER button when you turn on the
  printer.

- Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet Series II

  To use this mode, press and hold the FONT button when you turn on the printer.

- Plotter emulation (IBM 7372, HP 7475a color plotters

  To use this mode, press and hold the ORIENTATION button when you turn on the
  printer.

- PostScript mode

  To use this emulation, you must purchase and install the IBM 17 or 35
  PostScript Font upgrade. For Windows 3.0, the driver is available on the
  Supplemental Driver Library (SDL). Windows 3.1 comes with the 4019 PostScript
  drivers. To use this mode, press and hold both the PAPER and the FONT buttons
  when you turn on the printer.

  To confirm the mode you are in, press the ORIENTATION button when the printer
  is online. A number appears in the status window:

  1 = PPDS, 2 = HP LaserJet, 3 = Plotter, 4 = Postscript

New IBM Driver for Windows 3.0
------------------------------

The most current Windows driver for the 4019 is available from Lexmark by calling
(606) 232-3000. The 4019.DRV is dated 3/7/91. This driver corrects problems that
may occur when you print from version 1.1 of Word for Windows.

IBM Font Installer Duplicates ALT+A Accelerator in Windows 3.0
--------------------------------------------------------------

The Windows 3.0 printer driver for the 4019 has a built-in Font Installer. This
installer duplicates the ALT+A accelerator key. To work around this problem, use
the mouse or the TAB key to navigate the dialog box.

Support for the IBM Print Sharing Device
----------------------------------------

Windows does not support the IBM Print Sharing Device. This device has a timeout
setting that should be set to its maximum of 60 seconds. This may help Windows
to print. For more information on troubleshooting print sharing devices, query
on the following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

  "electronic" (without the quotation marks) and "print" (without the quotation
  marks) and "share" (without the quotation marks) and "tshoot" (without the
  quotation marks)

Print TrueType as Graphics in Windows 3.1
-----------------------------------------

The 4019 requires that the Print TrueType As Graphics box be selected.
