Notes


The installer automatically updates your SYSTEM.INI Windows file
by adding DEVICE=bi-di.386 under the [386Enh] section. If any bi-
directional parallel communications device driver has previously been
installed, it will be deactivated by this new driver. If you want to use
the driver that was previously installed, you should re-install your
previous driver. However, re-installing the previous driver will make
the HL-2400C driver inactive.


The installer makes the installed printer driver the Windows default.


The installer automatically sets the printer port to the parallel
interface, LPT1.


During this installation, changes have been made to the SYSTEM.INI
file. It is necessary to restart Windows so that the changes become
effective and the installed bi-directional parallel communications
device driver can take effect.
