OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS The enclosed ADI printer driver SKFUJI36.COM has been developed for FUJITSU 24-wire printers of the DL series in DPL24C PLUS emulation with a maximum resolution of 360 * 360 dots per inch. ADI provides the same functionality and performance as the standard device drivers used for AutoCAD and AutoSketch. As opposed to other common AutoCAD drivers the ADI drivers have to be loaded before starting AutoSketch. They are residing in the main memory. 1. Printer Installation Before starting with the printing set the printer to the following values: EMULATE: DPL24C PLUS for 8-color printers COLOR: AUTOSEL (only for 8-color printers) LF-Code: LF only CR-Code: CR only 2. Driver Installation Copy the driver via the following command onto your harddisk: COPY A:SKFUJI36.COM C: for AutoSketch 3. Usage of the Driver with AutoSketch You can only use an ADI printer driver if you have an AutoSketch version of 1.04 or higher. If the output of the data is not leaded directly to the printer but at first to a file, AutoSketch will not enable the information of the file name. Therefore, exists a driver only for AutoSketch which will determine the name to "OUTPUT.LST" if there is an output to a file. Before starting AutoSketch you first have to load the driver SKFUJIE.COM or SKFUJI36.COM for FUJITSU 24 pin dot matrix printers, which are using the DPL 24C PLUS command set. Proceed according to the following syntax: C:\SKETCH>SKFUJI36 /M - monochrome printout C:\SKETCH>SKFUJI36 /C - color printout C:\SKETCH>SKFUJI36 /F - output into a file Filename: OUTPUT.LST You have to enter SKFUJI36, if you want to delete the residentially loaded driver from your main memory. If the driver is to be loaded automatically then SKFUJI36.COM has to be entered together with the right parameter in the AUTOEXEC.BAT batch file. The program must be configured, if ADI is used for the first time together with AutoSketch. While starting AutoSketch you have to specify the parameter "-R": C:\SKETCH>SKETCH -R Now, determine the input device and the monitor in accordance with your hardware configuration. By selecting the plotter/printer select option 3: AUTODESK DEVICE INTERFACE PRINTER If this option does not appear in the AutoSketch configuration, you probably have an old AutoSketch version. In this case please contact your dealer. Programming Text Your Choise __________________________________________________________________ Hexadecimal interrupt number 7bh Specify plot size in millimeter: RETURN Maximum horizontal (X) plot size in inches <11.0> 13.599 Dots per inch in horizontal (X) direction <100.0> 360 Maximum vertical (Y) plot size in inches <8.50> 12 Dots per inch in vertical (Y) direction <360.0> 180 __________________________________________________________________ When the following text appears: DOES THE PRINTER SUPPORT COLOR enter if your printer supports color and the driver with the parameter /C for color was selected. Otherwise select . 4.1 Color Allocation with AutoSketch AutoSketch supports 7 colors: red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, magenta and black. In order to be able to use these colors you have to determine them in the menu item pin information as follows: Color Pinallocation _________________________________ Red 1 Yellow 2 Green 3 Cyan 5 Blue 4 Magenta 6 Black 7 _________________________________ In case of blue the printer will use orange, because the color blue is not supported by the printer. If you do not want to do so, you can also select pin No. 5 (cyan). Then blue appears in the same color as cyan and now you have only 6 colors at your disposal. 5. General Hints for Usage Due to the limited capacity of the main memory the color printers can only be selected with 8 pins. This cannot be changed because of programming reasons. We hope you understand our situation. The result is a slower printout than in the case of a white-and-black printout, but the print quality is the same. If you should have any problems with the configuration or the work with AutoCAD respectively AutoSketch under the ADI-driver, please call the hotline of your country specific subsidiary of Autodesk or FUJITSU. We hope that these operation instructions will help you and hope you enjoy working with AutoSketch and your Fujitsu printer.
