        Release Description:
	
        Update of AXIS AFP MIO Tx software.

	Printer related changes since 1.00
	----------------------------------
	
	- Added support for B5 JIS and B5 ISO (envelope) paper:

	"B5j" selection value added to paper sizes for MAIN,ALT and OPT menus.
	"B5j","B5i" and "cB5j" added to manual paper size menu.
	"B5i" added to envelope paper size menu.

	B5j (B5 JIS) is 182 x 257 mm.
	B5i (B5 ISO envelope) is 250 x 176 mm.

	- New Page counter option added to IPDS "CNT UPDATE" menu.

	When using the new value 2, IPDS stacked and jam page counters are
	reported when page is printed and in the output tray. This function
	will NOT work on the HP IIISi printer.

	- Interface between printer control system and IPDS has been changed.

	No functional changes should result from this.


	- HP Color LaserJet support added
	
	Added support for limited color printing in the HP Color LaserJet
	printers. Observe that the brown is not supported, it will print
	as black.

	A new menu item "USE COLOR" in the PRT OPTION menu has been added.
	Two values exist. NO = No color printing. YES = Enable color
	printing.

	IPDS changes since 1.00

	- IBM 3816 overlay handling

	In the 3816 emulation overlay positioning is now done using
	L-units from the Overlay LPD and not from the current LPD.
	This changes does NOT follow the IPDS reference and 4028 printer
	functionality, but it appears that the 3816 printer has this
	error, and this change will emulate it.

	- Bar codes

	The width of the black bars in bar code 3 of 9 has been
	increased when using default module width.

	Height multiplier in bar codes now maps value FFH to 1.

	Bar code clipping against logical page corrected.

	Wide to narrow values adjusted on bar code 3of9.

	Skipping of data in bar codes if non standard data length is
	used, has been corrected.

	Negative values on Bar code offset in WBCC now works correctly.

	Position highlighting in bar code and placement of error value
	corrected.

	- Paper size

	The default X-extend and Y-extend has been increased to support
	larger paper sizes (A3 and Bsize/Ledger), when no Set Media Size
	command is sent.

	- Downloaded fonts

	The character increment value, when using Relative Metrics in
	downloaded fonts, has been changed. Now this value is rounded
	down to the nearest L-value.

	- RL4      

	RL4 compression in IO1 corrected. On previous version using RL4
	could cause the interface to crash.

	- Other

	Ack reply flag clear corrected. On the Twinax system, after a clear
	command, a false reply could be sent. This is now avoided.

	Overlay and Page Segments now takes up less overhead in the
	resource memory.

                                                        3 (3)
	Some changes in the STM and OPC replies when color support
	is enabled.

	Using an the default Local Font ID and this font is never
	assigned in a LFE command, previously caused an exception in
	some cases. This exception is now removed.

	Character is checked against left and top margin to avoid
	problems when placing characters with image left of character
	cell.

	Code page 340 (OCR) added to 4028 emulation. This code page
	is obsolete but is still present on IBM printers.

	Load resource equivalence command corrected.

	Graphics line pattern generation improved.

	Negative value can now be used on IO command.

	Overstrike function corrected. When shifting from absolute/relative
	inline move to space characters, the space characters could be
	overstrike even if the bypass bit was set.


	Use AFPMLOAD.EXE (14356) for installation or 1Mbyte Flash card
	programmer. Please refer to the User's Manual for more information
	(14361).
