= SUMMARY =

The printer driver LQ2500.PRD for the Epson LQ-2500 contains codes for dual-bin sheet feeding that are incorrect for the Epson dual-bin cut-sheet feeder. The driver does not feed from bin 2 under any circumstances. Additionally, a running head that is formatted in Microsoft Word to print at the bottom of the page will print at the top of the next page.

= MORE INFORMATION =

The problem can be corrected by using Word’s MakePRD utility. To modify LQ2500.PRD, do the following:

  Use MakePRD to convert LQ2500.PRD into a text file.   Load the text file into Word and page down through the file until you locate the four lines that read as follows: byte:38 mod:0 “[Y^A” byte:42 mod:0 “[YR” byte:46 mod:0 “[Y^B” byte:50 mod:0 “[YR”   These lines should be changed to the following: byte:38 mod:0 “[Y1” byte:42 mod:0 “L[^YR” byte:46 mod:0 “[Y2” byte:50 mod:0 “L[^YR”   Save the corrected file as unformatted and use MakePRD to convert it back into a binary file. 

Note: In the Word 5.00 printer driver, byte:38 and byte:46 are already correct. Only byte:42 and byte:50 need the “^L” code added.
