OS/2 1.3 and 2.x driver for Mannesmann Tally Dot Matrix Printers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
This file contains the following:
1. Printer setup notes
2. Known application problems
1. Setting up your Dot Matrix for use with the driver
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For full details on setting up your printer, consult your user's
manual.
a. Set the Physical Top Margin (Phys.adj) to 0/72 inch on the printer
control panel. See "Positioning the first print line (Phys.adj)",
Operator's Manual, chapter 4, for an explanation of this setting.
b. When using the MT 83 and 84 you must select the appropriate paper
source on the printer control panel, before starting a print job.
The other models require you to first select the sheet feeder on the
printer control panel before trying to print on paper from a sheet
feeder paper source.
2. Known problems with applications
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are certain applications, or versions of applications,
which do not work correctly with this driver. The known problems
are described below:
8514 display driver running under OS/2 2.0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PROBLEM:
When printing in colour, using this display driver causes colours
for graphical printing (but not device text) to be incorrectly printed.
SOLUTION:
Obtain the latest version of OS/2 2.x from IBM. This contains a
32-bit engine and also contains changes to the handling of display drivers
which will fix this problem.
PMCHART Version 1.0 and Word for PM running under OS/2 2.0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PROBLEM:
These applications will not work correctly with ANY printer drivers
if you install two different printers BOTH on the same printer port
(for example Mannesmann Tally MT 150/24 and LaserJet III both on LPT1).
Both applications fail to identify the correct printer models in
this circumstance (Printer Setup will show the default printer model
for the driver) and may cause the driver to crash.
SOLUTION:
Do not install multiple printers on a single printer port when
using these applications. If you are regularly swapping the printers
attached to a port, swap the correctly unconnected printer to FILE
whilst running either of these applications.
Microsoft Excel for OS/2 Version 2.2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PROBLEM:
The default cell size is too small in spreadsheets and ATM fonts will
be printed too small. (Device fonts will print correctly)
SOLUTIONS:
1) This problem has been fixed in Excel 2.21 (and also Excel 3.0).
Upgrading to either of these versions will eliminate the problem.
2) Setting the Standard Font for Excel to be a device font
(using the full Options menu) will give a correct cell size.
