Technical Note Hqn028

Harlequin Multiple Device Plugin for the PC

Manual Installation for ScriptWorks 4.1

Description

HQMulDev is a multiple-device output plugin designed to control many output devices through:

• ISA and EISA cards manufactured by HighWater .

• PC AT cards manufactured by Ultre Corp.

• PCI cards manufactured by Harlequin.

The plugin is available for use under Windows 3.1, Windows 95 and Windows NT

The plugin will display a list of available output engines and interface cards in the Device

Manager in ScriptWorks. The list will probably not include all of the device types which the

plugin is capable of supporting; only those device types which are covered by contracts between

you as an OEM and Harlequin will be shown. If the list does not accord with your expectations

please address this issue with your Account Manager.

Device Families

The HQMulDev plugins shipped with ScriptWorks version 3.3 included all device types

supported on that platform. For ScriptWorks version 4.0 the plugin has been split into a number

of families, each of which in turn is a multi-device plugin including a number of different device

types within the family. The currently supported families are as follows. The ‘Family Name’ and

‘Family Tag’ values will be referred to later in this note and are used to generate file names for

various parts of the plugin and it’s support environment.

PelBoxes

Family Name: PelBox Family Tag: PF

Devices: PelBox 3000 (2030, 2430, 3030), 108 (1045, 1245, 1545), VR30, VR36,

VR45, ID36.

Interfaces: HighWater ISA

This version of this document describes installation for ScriptWorks 4.1 revision 0 (September 1996). Please see

version 1.2 of this documentation for installation for ScriptWorks version 4.0 revision 2.

Windows NT version 3.5 or later is required – HQMulDev will not operate under Windows NT version 3.1.

which is listed as HQ.I32 should be read as HQULTRPE.I32; the DLL for the same plugin under Windows NT on an Intel platform, listed as HQ_NT.D32 should be read as HQPE_NT.D32. Installer HQMulDev device families may be installed through the Install Output Plugin menu item in the ScriptWorks installer. See the Installation Guide for details of normal use of that option. The installer will take care of installing all of the necessary files for your supported devices.

made for you5. This is the recommended method. If you need to check or manually update the registry entries for any reason then you should use REGEDT32.EXE (in WINNT\SYSTEM32). Extreme care should be taken when using regedt32 as entering incorrect values can damage your NT installation. See below for details of the required keys in the registry. For HighWater ISA and Ultre PC AT cards you will still need to adjust the entries for IRQ etc. as described below, and activate the drivers.

Windows NT: Once you have verified that the installation works as expected you should a) Open the Devices Control Panel applet b) Select the HWI , HWE or PCI device in the list and click on Startup… c) Select Automatic and click on OK. d) Close the control panels. Second level control files The second level control file is included to allow you as an OEM to limit the access that your customers have to the full list of device types which you have rights to distribute.

where is the security number of the dongle with which this control file is to be used (in decimal), and is the device family name. The program will strip the leading ‘hq’ from the second argument and create a file called .ctl, which should be copied into the SW\Devices directory of the RIP with which it is to be used. Note that the name of the control file must be exactly .

Hwe for HighWater EISA cards Pci for PCI interface cards is the name of the .SYS file in lower case, i.e. hwi.sys for HighWater ISA cards hwe.sys for HighWater EISA cards pci.sys for PCI interface cards • A new value will be created named : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\drivers.desc\ The value will be a string describing the driver, e.g. “ScriptWorks HighWater PelBox interface”.

Additional registry setup for the Ultre Corp. AT cards8 . Those plugins designed for use with AT cards from Ultre Corp. may be used with both the original version of that card (a full-length card marked ‘840’) and the newer ‘high-speed’ version (a 3/4 length card marked ‘1960’). The driver needs some minor configuration to achieve optimal output speeds and quality on both cards.
PAGE 12
The PelBox interface has an extra jumper (LK5) which must be linked in order to access the resolution and exposure selection features of the PelBox 3000 and VR series. It is not required for the 108 etc. where resolution and exposure cannot be set by the RIP. When driving a Linotype image setter you should set the LI5 dressing (if LI5 is being used) on the setter itself to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, 9600 baud, no parity. The LI2 dressing should specify sender master, receiver clock, asynchronous mode.

The jumper settings are set as follows (n denotes an open link (no jumper), n denotes a link with a jumper in place): IO Port 6 jumpers labeled IO ADD. 3 4 5 6 7 300 n n n n n n 310 n n n n n n 320 n n n n 330 n n n 8 IRQ 4 jumpers labeled SEL INT. The four jumpers are numbered 3 (nearest middle of card), 5, 7 and 9 (nearest the edge of the card): n n n n n 3 5 7 9 n n n Memory address 8 jumpers labeled MEM ADD. The jumpers 20-23 should all be closed.

Ultre Corporation PC AT Interface cards Ultre Corporation PC interface cards MUST be set to DMA channel 6, as this is hard wired into the driver. IO Port is set on the bank of DIP switches labeled SW1. Values may be determined by taking each digit of the required port address (in hexadecimal notation) in turn as below (⇑ denotes a switch in the on position, and ⇓ a switch in the off position).
