Remove any previous versions of this print driver as described in the Driver Removal section below. 2. Start Windows 2000/XP/2003. 3. Either Download from the web (http://www.xerox.com) or Insert the CD ROM containing this driver into your workstation’s drive.

16. If you previously had an Xerox Wide Format HPGL/2 driver installed, be sure to close all Windows programs, and then restart your computer to replace the old driver files with new files. Note: Upon installation, this driver will look for Windows System registry entries previously created by the AutoCAD 2000i, 2002, or 2004 program installer. If such entries are found, this driver will add itself to the list of available printers within the AutoCAD program.

Begin by clicking “Start”, “Settings”, “Printers”, “File”, Server Properties”, “Ports” tab. Click the Add Port…. Button. 2. Click on New Port Type … to display the “Installing Print Monitor” dialog. Provide the path to your driver files (specifically the file named Monitor.inf for 2000 or XPMonitor.inf for XP Pro) and click Open. 3.

On the Ports tab, select all XES Network Ports in the list, and click the Delete Port button. 4. Make sure your registry is backed up. 5. Using RegEdit, remove the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors\XES Net Port key. 6. Reboot the system. 7. Delete XESNet.DLL, XESNet.HLP and XESNPRES.
8 Known Issues The following is a list of the known issues with this release of the Windows 2000/XP Pro XES Net Port Monitor: If you log off Windows and then try to configure the port the Transmission Retry field will be grayed out completely and you will not be able to see the value. The spin buttons will still work, but you will not be able to see your changes. You can fix this by doing a net stop spooler and then a net start spooler at the command line or just restart Windows.
When using printer accounting from a client going to a server, you must set the driver to use the RAW data type only under “Printer Properties”, “General Tab”, and “Print Processor”. WINDOWS 2000: When updating a driver if you receive an error message “Printer Driver was not installed. Operation could not be completed.” Delete the printer from the Printers Folder, restart, and Add the printer again.
To use larger than A-size paper in Power Point, the user must select the paper size in the driver. MICROSOFT PROJECT: In order to print Microsoft Project documents larger than A-size, the Windows Print driver requires Microsoft Project 4.1a or later. MICROSOFT WORD: Microsoft Word overrides the paper setup in the driver properties. SPICER IMAGINATION 4.50: Intermittent problems occur when printing from Spicer Imagination 4.50 using this printer driver.
