SUMMARY

In Microsoft Word for Windows, if the top margin of your document is less than 0.7-inch and you are using the NEC Pinwriter P7 printer driver that ships with the Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1, the first paragraph of your document will be truncated if the printer is configured for manual paper feed.

MORE INFORMATION

Word versions 2.x or 6.0

To correct this problem, use the following steps:


 * 1) From the File menu, choose Print Setup.
 * 2) In the Printer box, select the Pinwriter P7, and choose the Setup button.
 * 3) In the Paper Source box, select either Tractor or Cut Sheet Feeder:Bin 1.
 * 4) Choose the OK button twice.

Word for Windows 6.0 will return an error message when you print a document saying that the margins are outside the unprintable regions of the printer. If you choose the &quot;Fix&quot; option, Word will increase the margins to the minimum settings for the printer so that text will not be cut off. Note:If you are having margin problems when using manual feed or sheet feeder options with dot-matrix printers, there may be an updated driver available from the WDL.

For more information on which printers have an updated driver, query on:

unprintable and regions dot and matrix These updated drivers have a margins button in the printer driver which which take into account the different start position of the print head when using paper sources. To use this new feature, follow these steps:
 * 1) set the paper source in Word to match the correct paper source you

are using with your printer.
 * 1) From the Control Panel, choose Printers.
 * 2) Choose Setup and change the paper source to match what you are using with your printer.
 * 3) Choose Options.
 * 4) Choose Margins.
 * 5) Click the Default button and press OK to back out of the dialog boxes.
 * 6) Your document should now print correctly.
