**************************************************
**** HP DESIGNJET 230/250C DIAGNOSTICS V2.0 ****
**************************************************
These service diagnostics operate using WINDOWS. Do NOT run them
directly from DOS.
==========================
== INSTALATION PROCESS. ==
==========================
Installation is not automatic (although it will be, for future
releases).
(1) Create a directory on the destination drive.
(2) Decide whether you want to install the diagnostics:
(a) Without the help facility (1.1 Mbytes necessary - can
be one floppy disk.)
(b) Including the help facility (2.4 Mbytes necessary - must
be hard disk.)
Note: The diagnostics program does not place files outside the
---- directory you create. Deleting the directory after the
tests leaves the PC as it was before the tests.
(3) Copy the following files to the directory you created.
bc40rtl.dll
bwcc.dll
dj250c.exe
dj250c.ini
(4) IF YOU WANT TO INCLUDE THE HELP FACILITY, then also copy the
following files to the directory you created:
parr0000.hlp parr0010.hlp parr0020.hlp
parr0001.hlp parr0011.hlp parr0021.hlp
parr0002.hlp parr0012.hlp parr0022.hlp
parr0003.hlp parr0013.hlp parr0023.hlp
parr0004.hlp parr0014.hlp parr0024.hlp
parr0005.hlp parr0015.hlp parr0025.hlp
parr0006.hlp parr0016.hlp parr0026.hlp
parr0007.hlp parr0017.hlp parr0027.hlp
parr0008.hlp parr0018.hlp
parr0009.hlp parr0019.hlp
(5) Drag dj250c.exe from the File Manager to a Program Group to
create the icon of the program.
Note: If you use a floppy disk, DO NOT PROTECT it against WRITE.
---- During the diagnostic testing, the .ini is modified, and
some temporary files are created.
===============================
== STARTING THE DIAGNOSTICS. ==
===============================
1- Make sure that the correct serial cable is connected between
the computer and the plotter (For a 9-pin HP Vectra port,
this should be cable with part number 24542G.)
2- Execute dj250c.exe from the File Manager, or double click on
the diagnostics icon.
3- Turn on the plotter while pressing the 'SetUp','Read Settings'
and 'Replot' buttons on the plotter's front panel.
4- Find out the serial-port configuration of the plotter. (See
SetUp Sheet.)
5- Click on the CONNECT button on the main window of the
diagnostics.
6- Make sure that the computer serial-port configuration matches
the plotter's SetUp Sheet.
7- Once connected, perform the individual diagnostics.
Note: The Y-axis test is quite long (especially for E-size
---- plotters).
Note: You need a special tool to perform the Pen Height test.
---- This tool should be avaliable by November 1995.
Note: When you use the help, sometimes a Message box with the
---- message "Help Topic not available" is shown. This is a
small bug. Just click OK; the Help Topic actually IS
AVAILABLE.
