APPLICATION NOTE #156
 USING XYWRITE III PLUS WITH QMS JETSCRIPT
 Rev. 01


 JetScript, a product of QMS, Inc., allows you to use the Hewlett 
Packard LaserJet Series II printer as a PostScript printer. This 
application note provides the information you need to use JetScript 
with XyWrite III Plus software.


 INSTALLING JETSCRIPT
 JetScript requires a hardware installation as well as a software 
installation. The package itself includes the following items:

 *  Software (including four 5.25-inch diskettes)
 *  Controller card for personal computer
 *  Adapter card for Hewlett Packard LaserJet Series II
 *  Adapter cable (which connects controller and adapter cards)
 *  JetScript User's Guide

 Please refer to the JetScript User's Guide for specific details about 
the installation of hardware and software (see Note #1).


 RUNNING JETSCRIPT
 JetScript initializes the HP LaserJet for PostScript mode every time 
the computer is powered on. When the printer is in PostScript mode, 
the printer panel displays the following message:

   01 EXT READY


 RUNNING XYWRITE
 The JetScript software installation alters the AUTOEXEC. BAT file in 
your computer's root directory. If you use AUTOEXEC.BAT to load 
XyWrite automatically, be sure to check the file after installing 
JetScript. The XyWrite EDITOR must be the last program loaded in 
AUTOEXEC.BAT.


 PRINTING A FILE
 To use the LaserJet Series II in PostScript mode, you must first load 
a PostScript printer file. For example:

   Type:   F5load 3postpls.prn<CR>

 or

   Type:   F5load 3post.prn<CR>

 To output your document, use the TYPEF command (instead of TYPE) to 
print directly to the output port assigned to JetScript. For example, 
if JetScript is using LPT2:

   Type:  F5typef chapter.doc,lpt2:


 Note #1  Manual Installation. The software installation program 
modifies the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files in your personal 
computer. If you do not want these files altered, refer to Appendix C 
in the JetScript User's Guide for instructions regarding manual 
installation.

 Note #2  Network Use. If you are running on a network, send the 
following code to the printer before loading the network software.

     serverdict begin 0 exitserver
     statusdict begin
     0 setdefaultparallel
     0 setparallel
     start

 You can store this code in a XyWrite text file and use the DOS copy 
command to send it to the printer. For example, at the DOS prompt:

     Type:    copy netcode lpt2:

 If you want to automatically send this file every time you start the 
system, you can put the copy command into your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

 Be sure that interrupt settings on the controller board are OFF when 
this file is sent.
