               Smart Label Printer Plus(TM) - UPDATE

          Smart Label Printer Plus for Windows(TM) and DOS
                Version 3.00 - July 13, 1993

The following information was not available at the time that the 
User Guide was printed.  Please take the time to read this BEFORE 
you begin, for important up-to-date information on the use of 
Smart Label Printer Plus for Windows and DOS.  You may want to 
print this file and keep it with your User Guide for easy 
reference.

This release includes versions of SLP for both DOS and Windows 
environments. The software may be installed from either the DOS 
command line prompt or from within Windows (using File/Run).  
Please install the software from the environment where you will be 
using SLP Plus most often.

NOTE:  If you already have a previous version of SLP installed on 
the target system, install this version into the same directory.  
The SLP program and related files will be updated automatically.

If you have SLP Plus for DOS loaded resident on the target system, 
you must unload it from memory before beginning the installation 
of this version or you will encounter problems.





SLP PLUS FOR WINDOWS INSTALLATION

The User Guide states that WINSETUP.EXE will install the SLP icon 
in the Accessories program group.  This version of WINSETUP.EXE 
will create a program group called SLP Plus, in which it will 
install icons for both SLP Plus for Windows and the SLP Font 
Utility.



VERSION 1.xx USERS

If you are upgrading from SLP v1.xx and wish to use your old 
Memory, be sure there are no blank lines within labels stored in 
Memory or labels may be separated at the blank lines.



NETWORK USE

Shared use on a network is not supported.





***************SMART LABEL PRINTER PLUS FOR WINDOWS**************



WINDOWS 3.0 USERS

Smart Label Printer Plus for Windows utilizes certain features 
which are exclusive to Windows 3.1.  Although great care was taken 
to provide as many features as possible to all users, there remain 
some functions which are only available to Windows 3.1 users in 
this release.


TrueType(TM)

The SLP Font Utility allows you to convert a wide variety of 
TrueType fonts into SLP Fonts.  This utility is dependent on the  
support for this type of font built into Windows 3.1 and will not 
work in Windows 3.0.


SmartCapture(TM) Bar

The "Always On Top" and SmartCopy(TM) features require Windows 3.1 
and will not work when this version is running under Windows 3.0.  
The corresponding check boxes in Text Capture Settings are greyed 
to indicate that they can not be selected.


Using COM3 or COM4 in Windows 3.0

Windows 3.0 by default sets COM3 and COM4 at non-standard base 
addresses.  If using either COM3 or COM4, be sure these are set 
correctly in the SYSTEM.INI file.  For more detail on changing 
these settings, please read the SYSINI2.TXT file in your Windows 
directory.



PRINTING LABELS

If you install the software from the DOS prompt and want to use 
the Windows version, make sure that you set the COM port in SLPW 
(in the Label/Printer Setup menu) before trying to print a label.





TROUBLESHOOTING PRINTING PROBLEMS WITH SLP PLUS FOR WINDOWS

If SLP Plus for DOS prints successfully, but you find difficulty 
printing from SLP Plus for Windows, check the following:

1.	Check to be sure that the correct COM port is selected in 
Printer Setup (in the Label Menu).

2.	Be sure that "Flow Control" is set to "NONE" in Ports 
settings in the Windows Control Panel.  See your Windows 
manual for information on changing these settings.

3.	Be sure that the Base address and IRQ settings match that of 
your hardware.

4.	If your mouse is attached to COM1, avoid using COM3 for the 
Smart Label Printer.  Similarly, avoid using COM4 if your 
mouse is attached to COM2.  NOTE:  This is generally not a 
concern if using and EISA or MCA (PS/2) type system.

5.	Avoid using non-sequential COM port assignments.  For 
Example, if you have three serial ports, configure them as 
COM1, COM2, and COM3, and not COM1, COM2, and COM4.  

NOTE:  Consult your dealer if you are not familiar with the 
process performing changes to this hardware.





*****************SMART LABEL PRINTER PLUS FOR DOS****************



DOS LOAD HIGH

Smart Label Printer Plus for DOS cannot be loaded into high memory 
with the DOS LH parameter.  To use high memory, run SETUP and set 
swapping to EMS or XMS.  Resident Size can be set as low as 9k.



UNLOADING SMART LABEL PRINTER PLUS FOR DOS

When the SLP.EXE  program is loaded resident there are two ways to 
unload and remove it from memory.

	1) From the Main Menu select 'Options'. From the Options 
	menu select 'Unload'.

	2) From the DOS prompt type 'UNLOAD'.

Note: In either case the SLP.EXE will not unload if a program has 
been loaded after the SLP.EXE.



OTHER TSR'S MAY PREVENT SUCCESSFUL UNLOAD OF SLP.EXE

When running in resident mode, SLP Plus for DOS is a TSR 
(Terminate and Stay Resident) program.  In addition to the special 
loading requirements defined in the User Guide, you may wish to 
note that the presence of some TSR's will prevent the successful 
unloading of the SLP.EXE program.

When SLP Plus is loaded resident after loading Carbon Copy, for 
example, SLP Plus will not unload until after removing Carbon Copy 
from memory first.



SMARTCAPTURE FROM MULTIMATE

DOS SmartCapture(TM) will include the ruler in Multimate 
Advantage.  To avoid this, you may find it easier to set 
SmartCapture to Manual.



HOT KEY SELECTION

Avoid using the Alt key as part of your hot-key combination when 
using Microsoft Word 5.x, Microsoft Works, Norton Utilities, or 
other programs whose menu bars are activated with the Alt key.





PASTING INTO SAMNA IV FROM MEMORY

Paste from Memory will not work with Samna IV.
