Adobe® PostScript® Printer Driver AdobePS (TM) 5.1 for 
Microsoft® Windows NT (TM) Version 4.0
U.S. English

The Adobe PostScript printer driver (AdobePS 5) enables you to 
manage printing activities under Windows NT. 

This version of the Adobe PostScript printer driver is only for owners
of U.S. English versions of Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 who print to
devices containing Adobe PostScript Level 2 or Adobe PostScript 3.
This driver is not for use with PostScript Level 1 devices. Also note
that AdobePS 5 has not been tested and certified to work with 
Windows 2000 (Windows NT 5.0).
 
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

--  Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 4) (U.S. English versions only)
--  Any printer that includes Adobe PostScript Level 2 or Adobe PostScript 3
--  A PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file for your printer

INSTALLATION NOTES

Installation of this driver requires a PostScript Printer Description 
(PPD) file for your printer.

If you need a PPD file, do one or more of the following:

1. Most PostScript printers include a floppy disk that contains the PPD 
   file for the printer. If you cannot find this disk, contact your 
   printer manufacturer for a replacement.
2. Visit your printer manufacturer's Web site or FTP site to obtain the 
   PPD file.
3. Visit Adobe online services such as the Adobe Web site 
   (http://www.adobe.com), which may have the PPD file you need. 
   SPECIAL NOTE: Adobe redistributes a number of PPD files for Macintosh 
   and Windows as a courtesy to Adobe customers but does not guarantee to 
   have the PPD file you need.
4. If you work with a service bureau or print shop to create professionally 
   printed documents, they may have the PPD file you need.

Your printer manufacturer is ultimately responsible for providing you with 
a PPD file. Neither Adobe nor your service provider is obligated to provide 
you with a PPD file.


INSTALLATION WARNING

If you are using "Novell NetWare Client for Windows NT 4.30," you may
not be able to install a Network Printer using this software. To install a
Network Printer you must first switch to either the "Microsoft Windows NT
4.0 Client Service for Netware" or a different or newer version (4.5) of the 
Novell NetWare Client. If you do not, you may experience a failure when you 
click Next after selecting Network Printer as your printer type.

Alternatively, you can install a printer as a Local Printer and use the Ports 
tab on the Properties dialog for that printer to add the real network port.

You can tell which version of NetWare Client you are using when you first
logon to Windows NT. If your logon screen displays "Novell Netware Client
for Windows NT v4.30.410" this version does not work correctly. 

You can also check your System32 folder for Netware.drv. 
Version 3.11.97.176 works incorrectly.

To install AdobePS 5:

1.  Insert the AdobePS 5 CD-ROM into the appropriate drive. The Installation
    folder appears. 

    Note: If you received the driver from the Adobe Web site or from Adobe 
    online services, create a new folder on your hard disk, place the file
    (adobeps5.exe) which you downloaded there, and double-click the file's 
    icon. This decompresses the files to the same folder where adobeps5.exe 
    resides.

2.  Double-click the Setup or Setup.exe file to begin the installation.

3.  Follow the on-screen instructions until the installation is complete.

4.  Specify settings specific to this printer in the Device Settings
    dialog box for the installed printer. This dialog box appears after
    installation is complete. Use the What's This? help to learn more about
    the features in the Device Settings dialog box. Click OK when you are
    finished.

    You can specify default settings for the documents you wish to print.
    After exiting the Setup program, highlight the installed printer in the
    Printers dialog box and choose File > Document Defaults.

COMPATIBILITY ISSUES

Support of driver features

Some applications do not support all AdobePS 5 features. Usually the
application simply ignores the feature, but in rare cases, a printing 
error may occur. 

The following table contains applications and driver features that may be
incompatible:

Application         	Driver Feature

Acrobat Exchange 3.0	Rotated Landscape, Mirror Image
CorelDraw 7      	Scaling, N-up, Mirror Image, Negative Image
CorelDraw 8		Scaling, N-up, Mirror Image, Negative Image
Freehand 7.0		N-up, Scaling, Rotated Landscape, Mirror Image
QuarkXPress 3.32,4.0 	N-Up, Mirror Image
PageMaker 6.5		N-up, Scaling, Rotated Landscape, Mirror Image, 
                        Negative Image

Workaround: Do not use these AdobePS 5 features when printing from the
above applications.

Adobe Acrobat 3.0, 3.01

Problem: When you convert a PostScript file created by AdobePS 5 to PDF using
Acrobat Distiller, if the original document had TrueType fonts, the 
resulting PDF file may be missing characters.

Workaround: If you intend to convert a PostScript file created by AdobePS 5 
to PDF, change the TrueType Font Download Option to Outline. You can find the 
TrueType Font Download Option by going to Document Defaults and choosing
Advanced>Document Options>PostScript Options>TrueType Font Download 
Option. A future version of Acrobat Distiller will correct this problem.
If you are a current user of Acrobat Distiller, you can obtain future 
Distiller upgrades from the Adobe website. 

Problem: When you print from Acrobat Exchange, characters may be missing if you
substitute TimesRoman with TimesNewRoman.

Workaround: Disable Substitution With Device Font and change the setting to
Download As SoftFont.

Problem: When you print from Acrobat Exchange using the N-up option with
multiple copies set, the first page may be missing.

Workaround: Do not attempt to print multiple copies while using the N-up option.

Adobe FrameMaker 5.5

Problem: EPS containing TektoMM generates a PostScript error when inserted
into FrameMaker.

Workaround: Do not use TektoMM in EPS that you intend to use in FrameMaker files.

Adobe Illustrator 8.0

Problem:  The "euro" character from a Truetype font used in a document will not 
print as expected.

Workaround:  None.

Adobe PageMaker 6.5

Problem:  The "euro" character from a Truetype font used in a document will not 
print as expected.

Adobe Photoshop 4.0.1, 5.0

Problem: If you select Binary as the data format selection within Photoshop,
you must set a compatible Output Protocol value within AdobePS 5.

Workaround: Select Binary as the data format selection within Photoshop only
when the Output Protocol within AdobePS 5 is also Binary. Output Protocol
Binary in AdobePS 5 can be used only when the connection path to the
printer supports pure binary data transport, e.g. over AppleTalk or to 
most Novell queues.

Adobe Type Manager Version 4.0 

Problem:  On some system configurations using Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack
3, Type 1 fonts may not get downloaded as Type 1 fonts, but, rather get
converted and downloaded as bitmaps (type 3/type 32) or outlines (unhinted 
type 1).

Workaround:  None.

CorelDraw 7 and 8

Problem: The Print Preview option displays a color preview although the 
printer selected for printing is a monochrome printer.

Workaround: Whenever you are previewing a document that you intend to print on
a monochrome printer, change the Color Appearance setting to Monochrome.
After the print preview is completed, change this setting back to Color
to get better print quality. You can find the Color Appearance setting 
by going to Document Defaults and choosing Advanced>Graphic>Color 
Appearance.

Problem: Font CircleD, a Type 1 font supplied with CorelDraw, may cause a
PostScript printing error.

Workaround: Use the TrueType version of CircleD that is supplied with CorelDraw.

CorelDraw 8

Problem: A Postscript printing error may sometimes occur if CoreDraw substitutes
an outline (Type1) font for a TrueType font.

Workaround: Install the TrueType fonts that you use in your document or specify
substitution by TrueType fonts.

Problem: Type 1 Symbol fonts supplied in the CorelDraw 8 package (disk1) are
substituted by other available fonts when printing.

Workaround: None.

Designer 7.0

Problem:  The "euro" character from the font Helvetica used in a document will
not print as expected.

Workaround:  None.

Freehand 8.0

Problem:  The "euro" character from the fonts Bookman and Courier used in a 
document will not print as expected.

Workaround: None. Freehand 8.0 does not use AdobePS 5 for its printing activity.

Harvard Graphics 4.0, 4.0.1, Harvard Graphics 98

Problem: Harvard Graphics fails to print to a printer instance installed for 
printing to Adobe Acrobat Distiller 3.0 or later.

Workaround:  None.

Lotus Freelance Graphics 97

Problem: Bitmap images printed in transparent mode get printed as opaque.

Workaround: None.

Lotus WordPro 97

Problem: Imported EPS is down-shifted when printed from Lotus WordPro 97 to
Tektronix Phaser 220i.

Workaround: None.

Problem: The Number of Copies setting in WordPro dialog boxes overrides the
Number of Copies option set in the driver.

Workaround: Set the number of copies using the WordPro dialog boxes.

Lotus 1-2-3 97

Problem: Lotus 1-2-3 97 cannot always properly calculate the text placement of
inverted, rotated text. Text may be missing or incorrectly placed in
a printout.

Workaround: None.

Microsoft Excel 97

Problem: AdobePS 5 ignores print settings specified within Excel when the
document is printed.

Workaround: Specify the print settings from the Printers folder only.

Microsoft Netware Client

Problem:  Using the Microsoft Netware Client, an attempt to install a
Network printer may result in a Windows system crash if the "Browse" for
printer selection is made in "Network Neighborhood."

Workaround:  Ask your system administrator for the full path of the network
printer you want to use and type it in the Network Path dialog. 

Microsoft PowerPoint 97, Microsoft Publisher 97

Problem: The Copies option does not work properly when you use the N-up and 
Collate options.

Workaround: Don't use the Copies option with the N-up and Collate options.

Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 3)

Problem: Printing via Microsoft's AppleTalk transport feature results in an access 
violation error or a system crash.

Workaround: None.

Microsoft Word 97

Problem: If you change AdobePS 5 settings within the Microsoft Word Page 
Setup dialog box and select an option that conflicts with your current 
configuration, AdobePS 5 cannot inform you of the conflict.

Workaround: Change the printer settings from the Print dialog box or from the
Printers folder.

Problem: The Copies option does not work properly when you use the N-up and 
Collate options in Microsoft Word 97.

Workaround: Don't use the Copies option with the N-up and Collate options in 
Microsoft Word 97.

Problem: Strikethrough and Double strikethrough positions on the screen may
not match the printed output when the font selected for printing is a PostScript
type 1 font that is available only on the printer. In this situation, Windows 
substitutes a Truetype font for display and supplies the driver with strikethrough 
and double strikethrough positions applicable for the Truetype font but
not applicable to the PostScript font that was selected for printing.

Workaround: When using strikethrough or double strikethrough in the conditions
described above, select a Truetype font for printing.

Problem: Paper size dimensions for PostScript Custom Page Size option selected
from the Printers folder do not get correctly displayed when this option is invoked 
within Word 97.

Workaround:  None. Although the Paper size dimensions selected from the Printers 
folder are not displayed correctly from within Word 97, they however are correctly 
applied while printing.

Novell Intranetware Netware Client

Problem: The AdobePS 5 installer cannot browse for network printers using
the Novell Intranetware Netware Client. This type of network printer is not
listed when you click Browse in the Network Path dialog.

Workaround: Ask your system administrator for the full path of the network
printer you want to use and type it in the Network Path dialog. 

Painter 5.0

Problem: Printing from Painter 5.0 results in blank pages.

Workaround: None

QuarkXPress 3.32

Problem:  PostScript type 1 fonts are substituted to the Courier font when printed.

Workaround: Upgrade to QuarkXPress 4.0 which solves this problem or use an alternate 
font type such as a Truetype font.

QuarkXPress 4.0

Problem:  The "euro" character from a Truetype font used in a document will not 
print as expected.

Workaround:  None.

QuarkXPress Passport 3.32, 4.0

Problem: EPS created from QuarkXPress Passport and imported into various 
applications may cause a Postscript printing error.

Workaround: None.
