1 (3) NEW SOFTWARE RELEASE ==================== Product involved: AXIS AFP MIO Tx (0055-2) Release date: June 28, 1996 Release type: UPDATE Software version: 1.02 (R60-6261) Software media: 1 Mbyte Flash PCMCIA card Software checksum: N/A Last preceding release: 1.00 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Release Description: Update of AXIS AFP MIO Tx software. Printer related changes since 1.00 ---------------------------------- - Added support for B5 JIS and B5 ISO (envelope) paper: "B5j" selection value added to paper sizes for MAIN,ALT and OPT menus. "B5j","B5i" and "cB5j" added to manual paper size menu. "B5i" added to envelope paper size menu. B5j (B5 JIS) is 182 x 257 mm. B5i (B5 ISO envelope) is 250 x 176 mm. - New Page counter option added to IPDS "CNT UPDATE" menu. When using the new value 2, IPDS stacked and jam page counters are reported when page is printed and in the output tray. This function will NOT work on the HP IIISi printer. - Interface between printer control system and IPDS has been changed. No functional changes should result from this. - HP Color LaserJet support added Added support for limited color printing in the HP Color LaserJet printers. Observe that the brown is not supported, it will print as black. A new menu item "USE COLOR" in the PRT OPTION menu has been added. Two values exist. NO = No color printing. YES = Enable color printing. 2 (3) IPDS changes since 1.00 - IBM 3816 overlay handling In the 3816 emulation overlay positioning is now done using L-units from the Overlay LPD and not from the current LPD. This changes does NOT follow the IPDS reference and 4028 printer functionality, but it appears that the 3816 printer has this error, and this change will emulate it. - Bar codes The width of the black bars in bar code 3 of 9 has been increased when using default module width. Height multiplier in bar codes now maps value FFH to 1. Bar code clipping against logical page corrected. Wide to narrow values adjusted on bar code 3of9. Skipping of data in bar codes if non standard data length is used, has been corrected. Negative values on Bar code offset in WBCC now works correctly. Position highlighting in bar code and placement of error value corrected. - Paper size The default X-extend and Y-extend has been increased to support larger paper sizes (A3 and Bsize/Ledger), when no Set Media Size command is sent. - Downloaded fonts The character increment value, when using Relative Metrics in downloaded fonts, has been changed. Now this value is rounded down to the nearest L-value. - RL4 RL4 compression in IO1 corrected. On previous version using RL4 could cause the interface to crash. - Other Ack reply flag clear corrected. On the Twinax system, after a clear command, a false reply could be sent. This is now avoided. Overlay and Page Segments now takes up less overhead in the resource memory. 3 (3) Some changes in the STM and OPC replies when color support is enabled. Using an the default Local Font ID and this font is never assigned in a LFE command, previously caused an exception in some cases. This exception is now removed. Character is checked against left and top margin to avoid problems when placing characters with image left of character cell. Code page 340 (OCR) added to 4028 emulation. This code page is obsolete but is still present on IBM printers. Load resource equivalence command corrected. Graphics line pattern generation improved. Negative value can now be used on IO command. Overstrike function corrected. When shifting from absolute/relative inline move to space characters, the space characters could be overstrike even if the bypass bit was set. Use AFPMLOAD.EXE (14356) for installation or 1Mbyte Flash card programmer. Please refer to the User's Manual for more information (14361). - Recommended software label: 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � AXIS AFP MIO Tx � � 1.02 � � 960628 � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� Best regards, AXIS COMMUNICATIONS
