Founder FZ2000 typesetting system solves printing anti-word plate making

Solve the problem of direct printing of anti-word plate by Word software

Most of the domestic printers equipped with the Peking University Founder FZ2000 electronic publishing system (high-end light-printing) find it difficult to process documents generated by Word 97 or Office 2000 word processing software. The reason is that Founder Distribution Software PSP3.1 only provides Founder. Samples of S2, S72, PS2, and PS files are printed. For non-standard software such as popular Word software, WPS supports only printout of text files (.TXT plain text files). Output). Of the users who own the Founder FZ2000 electronic publishing system, 90% are LBP-BX, LBP-BXII, and LBP-JX video laser printers equipped with Canon Inc. Even if these users choose Hewlett-Packard's HP5000 or Founder's Wenjie A5000 parallel printer while updating the laser printer, still cannot solve the problem that Word software prints the anti-word plate directly.

For many small and medium-sized printers, customers send a good document prepared by Word software. The usual practice is to first send the document sent by the customer to Word, and then store it as a plain text file with the suffix of Renamed to remove the suffix, become a sample that Founder Edition software can recognize, re-annotate, and retype. The disadvantage of this is that repeated typesetting, invalid work, and re-layout require one-on-one proofing of forms, pictures, page numbers, and eyebrows, and the printing cycle is greatly extended. Then, can you find a shortcut to directly use Founder's software platform (Windows 3.1 or Windows 98) and the original peripherals (laser printers), do not need to convert, typesetting, print Word documents directly to a good document until the print anti-word Output plate making?

A specially designed video card CF2010A solves this problem.

Two video cards CF2010A

CF2010A card adopts PCI bus technology, which is the only video interface card designed and produced by PCI bus. As we all know, the PCI bus is much faster than the ISA bus. This is a boon for the early part of the ISA cards (including the FZ2000 card) when outputting complex layouts because the bus speed cannot keep up with the laser printing speed. Secondly, the computer motherboards that currently use Pentium IV chips have already eliminated the ISA bus, and the use of the PCI bus interface has brought a lot of convenience.
Now how about hardware installation?

1. There are two micro-switches SW1 and SW2 on the CF2010A to select the frequency division of the crystal and crystal. The original Canon LBP-BXII was selected. The user of the JX video interface printer must make this setting:

a. The OSC2 fixed crystal (33.33MHZ) is already provided on the card for the LBP-BX and BXII printers currently used by users. In this case, place the SW1 switch in the OSC2 position.

b. If the printer is a Canon LBP-JX laser printer, the crystal oscillator 25MHZ or 50MHZ should be inserted in the OSC1 position, and the SW1 switch should be placed in the OSC1 position.

c. The switch SW2 can select different frequency division numbers depending on the configuration of the video printer.

d. For printers other than Canon LBP video laser printers, such as the HP-4VC, HP5000, HP5000LE, and the Wenge A5000, parallel-port lasers, the crystal and SW1 and SW2 switch settings can be ignored.

2. Turn off the power to the host.

3. Insert the CF2010A card into one of the host's PCI slots.

4. For Canon LBP series laser printers, the printer must be connected to a PCI card using a dedicated video cable that matches the card. (The original FZ2000 cable cannot be used).

5. For parallel printers such as the HP-5000 or the Aviva A5000, keep the original cable unchanged.

6. Turn on the laser printer power supply and computer switch.
