MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

With Word versions 2.x, the Xerox 2700 printer driver, X2700.PRD, will work only when it is connected to a serial port.

The Xerox 2700 works with a serial interface because the original parallel interface for the Xerox 2700 had a hardware problem that made it incompatible with DOS.

Xerox says this problem has been corrected; however, Microsoft has not confirmed this and has not tested Word versions 3.x, 4.00, and 5.00 using a serial interface with the printer.

This also has not been confirmed with Word 5.50.
