1.      Install the board in the computer. Attach the cable from the new port in the computer to the printer's port.
2.      Install the IBM 4216 Personal Pageprinter software. Installation requires that you have your DOS directory in your path.
3.      Place the diskette labelled PPDISK1 into the floppy drive. Change to the A: or B: drive and type INSTALL.
4.      Insert the diskettes labelled PPDISK2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 and press Enter to continue, and follow the instructions.

Install places the PostScript printer font files into directories called PSFONTS and PP, which contain various needed files for a specified disk drive.

The IBM Personal Pageprinter is able to emulate the IBM Proprinter XL and the Printer Control Language (PCL) printer. Install will copy one or both to the system depending on the selection of the user. Install will ask which of those two options the user wants for the default.
Note:      PCL is an HP LaserJet Plus emulation

When installation is complete, the IBM Personal Pageprinter Adapter program (PPAP) is installed.

At the end of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file the following lines will be added:
