= SUMMARY =

The Panasonic KX-P1124 allows manual feeding of paper. However, there are strict guidelines set by Panasonic as to the printable area of the paper. These guidelines are described in Appendix F of Panasonic’s operating instructions manual.

In Microsoft Word for DOS, the following adjustments can be made in the document’s margins settings to allow for these guidelines:

Setting Change ——- ——

Top Subtract .55 inches Bottom Add .5 inches Left Subtract .25 inches Right Leave as is Length Same as paper Width Subtract .25 inches

For example, to use an 8.5-by-11-inch sheet with 1-inch margins all around, the settings would be as follows:

Top: .45 inches Bottom: 1.5 inches Left: .75 inches Right: 1 inches Length: 11 inches Width: 8.25 inches

Do not try to print on the bottom 1 inch of the paper. The KX-P1124 detects the paper-out sensor when the print head is 1 inch from the bottom of the paper, making it impossible to print there. If text is formatted to print within 1 inch of the bottom of the paper, it will be forced to the top of the next sheet of paper by the printer.

The printer is an 80-column printer. This means that there is only 8 inches of printable area. The printer driver takes into account the half inch of unprintable area on the right because it is the same for all paper feeds. However, when manually feeding, it is necessary to adjust the margins for the unprintable area on the left.
