Installation

There is a difference in the format of information files contained in the Software Machine Parameters for Dolev800 V² and Dolev800 V³. Installing version 1.060 over version 1.034 changes the old save format to the new save format. Follow these instructions to ensure the smooth transition to version 1.060.

1. Verify that the existing version (1.034 or earlier) is working properly.
2. Save all parameters to a Software Machine Parameters (501V1M353) diskette. (This diskette is effective for versions earlier than 1.034, and is necessary if you want to reinstall the earlier version.
3. Write down all the machine parameters on paper.
4. Install the new software.
5. On the first startup, a fatal error appears. Ignore it.
6. Manually enter the machine parameters.
7. Save all the parameters to a new Software Machine Parameters diskette (this diskette will be effective for versions 1.060 and later).

• To return to an earlier version, delete the contents of the Setup directory under C:\PLOT, and then install the rescue diskette to restore all previous parameters.
• In the res intensity tables, resolution 40 becomes resolution 50. Versions 1.060 and later do not allow you to set a resolution of less then 50, as described in the spec, so correct the tables as required.
• Confirm that the Roller Offset parameter is correct, and update it in Machine Settings>Offsets>Roller if required.
• In the Service Utilities menu, Expose Group is currently not applicable. (This applies to all Dolev models)
