INSTALLATION

Section 2-6

When a software company updates their version of their programs, it can sometimes cause conflicts with

our printer driver. Our programmers constantly test new software programs and updated versions for

compatibility. We will update our printer driver to address issues that we have control of. For bugs or

problems with your software not related to the laser system, please contact the software manufacturer.

We recommend checking with the software manufacturer for the latest patches and revisions.

Software Setup

There are many software programs that you can purchase off-the-shelf that will work with the laser

system. We recommend the use of CorelDRAW 12 with Service Pack 1 or CorelDRAW X3. Other

software programs might not be able to access all of the features of the laser system. Whichever

program you choose, it must be set up to work with the laser system otherwise unexpected results may

occur.

CorelDRAW 12 Windows 2000 or Windows XP

1. Make sure that you have installed all Service Releases and software patches from Microsoft. If you are

reading this document from the ULS Windows Printer Driver CD, as a service to you, you can find the file

on this CD. There is an update available for Windows XP included in the ULS Windows Printer Driver CD,

but it is not mandatory that you install it. For the latest releases, check Microsoft’s website,

www.microsoft.com

. Please contact Microsoft if you have any questions regarding these upgrades. ULS is

not responsible for any problems as a result from the usage of these patches.

2. If you have not already done so, install CorelDraw on your computer, but do not open it yet.

3. It is important that your version of CorelDraw is updated with the latest patches and service releases. For

the latest patches and updates go to CorelDraw’s website, www.corel.com

. As of the date of this

publication there are no updates available for CorelDraw 12. Be sure to check for any updates from time

to time to keep your version up to speed. Please contact CorelDraw if you have any questions regarding

these upgrades. ULS is not responsible for any problems as a result from the usage of these patches.

4. Re-insert the ULS Printer Driver Disk back into your CD drive at this time.

5. Using Windows Explorer, locate the file named “ULS.CPL” and “ULS.PAL” on the ULS Windows Printer

Driver CD, and copy these files over to the C:\Program Files\Corel\Corel Graphics

12\Languages\EN\Custom Data\Palettes folder. Note: ULS.CPL may not show up with a .CPL file

extension. It may be listed as ULS with “Control panel extension” shown as a detail.

6. While still in Explorer, locate a file named “corelapp.ini” located in the C:\Program

Files\Corel\Graphics12\Config folder. Double-click on the file it will open up in Notepad. Scroll down past

the semi-colons to the [Config] header. Then scroll down 22 lines to the line that reads “Fontrasterizer=1”.

Change the 1 to a 0 (this is a zero, not an o). Save this file and then close Notepad.

7. Open CorelDraw and start a new graphic.

8. In the main menu at the top of the screen, click on “Window”, then “Color Palettes”, and then click on

“None”. Once again click on “Window”, then “Color Palettes”, and then click on “Open Palette”. After the

“Open Palette” pop-up box appears, double-click on "ULS.CPL". The color palette will now appear on the

right side of the screen. Note: You can use either the ULS.CPL palette or the ULS.PAL palette,

however, to use the ULS.PAL palette you must first select the PAL file type in the open palette

screen.

9. On the property bar, click on the landscape orientation (the sideways rectangle). If you would like the

drawing units in metric, choose millimeters from the drop down list. Now type in the page width and height

that matches your laser platform.

10. We now need to adjust the vertical ruler, on the left side of the screen, to match the rulers in the laser

system. To do this, we need to adjust the ruler's vertical origin. Double-click directly on the vertical (side)

ruler. The “Options” dialog box will appear. In the vertical origin box, type in the same height value as you

did when you set up the page height in the previous step. For example, 12 inches for an M-300 machine. If

you would like the scale to be displayed in tenths, choose “10 per Tick” in the “Tick Division” drop-down list

box.

11. While still in the “Options” dialog box, double-click on “Global” to expand the list. Double-click on “Printing”

to expand the list. Now click on “Driver Compatibility”. Make sure that the laser system's name is displayed

in the printer drop-down list. In the settings specific for this driver dialog box, make sure that ALL the check

boxes are UNCHECKED. Now click on “OK” to close the “Options” dialog box.
