                     WPD Files for QMS PostScript Printers

 This disk contains WPD files for most QMS PostScript printers. These files 
will allow you to add a particular QMS printer to the list of supported 
printers in any Windows PostScript driver based on the original Microsoft
driver which supported the addition of printers through WPD files. The
following drivers provide this support:

  Microsoft V3.3
  Microsoft V3.4
  Microsoft V3.5
  Aldus V3.4a
  QMS V1.0
  QMS V1.1
  QMS V1.2
  QMS V1.3
  QMS V1.4
  QMS V2.1

NOTE: 
  The QMS PostScript driver for Windows 3.x already supports all QMS 
  printers. 
  Unless you have a particular reason for keeping your current driver and adding printers, 
  it is probably better to just use the QMS driver.


To add printers using WPD files follow these steps:

1) In Windows, at the Program Manager dialog box, double click on the Control
   Panel icon.

2) In the Control Panel dialog box, double click on the Printers icon.

3) Click on your PostScript driver entry in the Installed Printers list and 
   then click on Configure (for Windows 3.1 click on Setup and proceed to
   Step #5).

4) In the Configure dialog box, click on Setup.

5) In the Setup dialog box, click on Add Printer.

6) You will be prompted to insert a disk into drive A. If you are using drive
   A, insert the disk containing the WPD files into that drive. If you are 
   using another drive, type in the appropriate drive name and insert the disk 
   there. Add the path name "\WPDS\QMS". (ex. b:\wpds\qms). Click on OK.

7) Click on the desired QMS printer and Click on Add to install the printer. 
   
   You may add up to 5 external printers to most drivers. See the Removing 
   External Printers section of this document if you need to remove a printer 
   to make room for others.

   If you selected the QMS-PS 410, QMS-PS 815, QMS-PS 825, or QMS-PS 2000 
   printer see the Installing Adobe Garamond Softfonts section of this 
   document to insure that all printer resident typefaces will be supported 
   by your driver.

8) Click on Done.

9) Select the QMS printer you just added in the Printer list and set the 
   desired paper source and size. QMS printers added with WPD files have
   "<<<" appended to the printer name.

10) Click on OK through all subsequent screens to exit. Close the Control 
    Panel dialog box and exit Windows to insure that your changes take effect.


The QMS printer has been added to the list of printers supported by your 
driver as an external printer.



Installing Adobe Garamond Softfonts
-----------------------------------

 Excluding the QMS V1.0 driver, most PostScript drivers for Windows 3.x do not 
provide support for the Adobe Garamond typeface family found in QMS-PS 410,
QMS-PS 815, QMS-PS 825, and QMS-PS 2000 printers. If you add one of these
printers to your driver as an external printer, you will have to provide the 
driver and Windows some information about these fonts.

 A printer font metrics file (PFM file) is included in the \WPDS\QMS\PFM
subdirectory of this disk for each of the 6 Adobe Garamond fonts. Windows must
have access to these files to print using Adobe Garamond. 

Follow these steps to install the Adobe Garamond PFM files:

1) Copy all six PFM files to your windows directory

     COPY A:\WPDS\QMS\PFM\*.PFM C:\WINDOWS

2) Make a backup copy of the WIN.INI file in your windows directory.
   Edit the WIN.INI file with an ASCII text editor.

3) Search for the [fonts] entry containing a list of printer fonts with
   the following format.

[fonts]
fontname=PFM file name
fontname=PFM file name
fontname=PFM file name
fontname=PFM file name

4) Add the following entries for the Adobe Garamond family.

[fonts]
AGaramond-Regular=GDRG____
AGaramond-Italic=GDI_____
AGaramond-Semibold=GDSB____
AGaramond-SemiboldItalic=GDSBI___
AGaramond-Bold=GDB_____
AGaramond-BoldItalic=GDBI____

3) Update each PostScript printer entry in the WIN.INI with references to the 
   Adobe Garamond fonts. These entries have the following format.

[PostScript,xxxx]

   xxxx can be LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, FILE, etc.

4) In each PostScript printer entry, add the following softfont entries.

[PostScript,LPT1]
softfonts=6
softfont1=C:\WINDOWS\GDRG____.PFM
softfont2=C:\WINDOWS\GDI_____.PFM
softfont3=C:\WINDOWS\GDSB____.PFM
softfont4=C:\WINDOWS\GDSBI___.PFM
softfont5=C:\WINDOWS\GDB_____.PFM
softfont6=C:\WINDOWS\GDBI____.PFM

   The "softfont?=??????" entries must be numbered in consecutive order and 
   the "softfonts=?" value must be equal to the number of "softfont?=?????"
   entries.


EXAMPLE: The following example shows a typical printer entry before and after 
adding the new softfont entries.

BEFORE:

[PostScript,LPT1]
softfonts=2
softfont1=C:\WINDOWS\HVB_____.PFM
softfont2=C:\WINDOWS\HVO_____.PFM

AFTER:

[PostScript,LPT1]
softfonts=8
softfont1=C:\WINDOWS\HVB_____.PFM
softfont2=C:\WINDOWS\HVO_____.PFM
softfont3=C:\WINDOWS\GDRG____.PFM
softfont4=C:\WINDOWS\GDI_____.PFM
softfont5=C:\WINDOWS\GDSB____.PFM
softfont6=C:\WINDOWS\GDSBI___.PFM
softfont7=C:\WINDOWS\GDB_____.PFM
softfont8=C:\WINDOWS\GDBI____.PFM








Removing External Printers
-----------------------------------

 Most Windows 3.x PostScript drivers only allow you to add up to 5 external 
printers with WPD files. If you have already added 5 external printers and 
need to install a different printer, you must remove a previously installed 
external printer. 
 
Follow these steps to remove an external printer:

1) Make a backup copy of the WIN.INI file in your windows directory.
   Edit the WIN.INI file with an ASCII text editor.

2) Search for a [PSCRIPT] entry containing a list of external printers with 
   the following format.

[PSCRIPT]
External Printers=5
printer1=qps2000
printer2=qps2220
printer3=qps825
printer4=qps410
printer5=qps820

3) Remove individual printers by deleting "printer?=??????" lines. Renumber 
   the "printer?=??????" entries so that they are consecutive.

4) Change the number of printers indicated in the "External Printers=?" entry.
   The value in this entry must equal the number of "printer?=?????" entries.

EXAMPLE:  Removing the qps825 printer entry.

BEFORE:

[PSCRIPT]
External Printers=5
printer1=qps2000
printer2=qps2220
printer3=qps825
printer4=qps410
printer5=qps820

AFTER:

[PSCRIPT]
External Printers=4
printer1=qps2000
printer2=qps2220
printer3=qps410
printer4=qps820
