Incorrect Printout on Okidata Laserline 6 from Word 5.00

5.00 5.50 6.00

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

The Okidata Laserline 6 printer utilizes a personality module to control its printing interface. Word version 5.00 was not tested with the original version of this module, Revision A. It has been reported that the first two lines of text will be lost when a document is printed with either OKILASER.PRD or OKILSLAN.PRD to the Laserline 6 with the original release of the personality module.

To receive proper output with the Laserline 6, obtain the Laserline 6 Advanced Personality Module (Part #: 70008901), which provides emulation of the Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet Plus. The original release of the module provided emulation of the original HP LaserJet.

Contact Okidata at (800) 654-3282 or (609) 235-2600 for more information.

An interim workaround for this problem is to convert the Word version 4.00 Laserline printer driver for use with Word 5.00 by using the MERGEPRD utility or to use a LaserJet printer driver that supports the desired fonts on the Laserline.

As a workaround in Word version 5.50, use the MERGEPRD utility to convert a Word version 4.00 file into a Word version 5.50 printer driver.
