- OS/2 1.3 and 2.0 driver for Canon BJ-Series Printers
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The Canon BJ-Series Printer Driver for OS/2 PM supports the following
- Canon printers:
-
- Canon BJ-200 Black printing
- Canon BJ-230 Black printing
- Canon BJ-300 Black printing
- Canon BJ-330 Black printing
- Canon BJC-600 Black or Colour (CMYK) printing
- Canon BJC-800 Black or Colour (CMYK) printing
-
- The BJ-300 & BJ-330 are supported using the Proprinter emulation. The
- BJ-200, BJ-230, BJC-600 and BJC-800 are supported in their native mode.
-
- If you are installing this driver as an upgrade for an older version,
- or if this is a completely new installation, you should first read
- the installation notes in INSTALL.TXT (please ignore an icon for model
- XXXXXX which may appear in the driver file window during installation).
-
- In addition, you should ensure that your printer is set up correctly
- for use with the driver.
-
- If you received this driver in a ZIP file, or the driver disk has been
- copied using DOS instead of OS/2, you must reconstruct the driver disk
- BEFORE installing the driver. To do this, you should run the OS/2 command
- RESETEA on the driver disk. If you do not do this, the driver will not
- install correctly on your system.

- 1. RELEASE NOTES
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Release Notes for Version 1.3
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- The names of .INI file records now have the OS/2 2.1 format (i.e.
- the prefix is PM_DD_).
-
- The following errors have been corrected:
-
- 1. Garbage was printed on the BJC-600 (Dip Switch 12 OFF) when using
- WordPerfect 5.2.
-
- 2. The characters 'AB' were spuriously printed when printing a plain
- text file by using 'Drag-and-Drop' or the 'copy' command from an
- OS/2 prompt.
-
- A side-effect of the correction is that the final page is ejected
- at completion of the job (previously the user had to use the FF
- key).
-
- 3. 'Forms Mis-match' was sometimes not reported when using the BJ-300.
