Word 5.50: Manual Feed Support for DeskJet Printer Drivers

PSS ID Number: Q67197 Article last modified on 11-02-1994

5.50 6.00

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

The DeskJet printer drivers shipped with Word version 5.50 do not include a manual paper feed option (available paper feed options include Continuous, Bin 1, and Envelope).

The manual paper feed option was removed from the Word 5.50 DeskJet drivers and from the “Hewlett-Packard DeskJet Printer Drivers” application note available from Microsoft Product Support Services.

To add a manual feed option to the DeskJet printer driver, use the MakePRD utility to convert the PRD file to a text file. Once converted, load the text file into Microsoft Word and add a “0” (without the quotation marks) to the BinsSupported line in the model block.

Change the BinsSupported line to read:

BinsSupported:0 1 4

Save the altered text file, and use the MakePRD utility to convert the text file back to a PRD file.

For additional information about using the MakePRD program, refer to Chapter 6 of the “Printer Information for Microsoft Word” version 5.50 manual.

Note: The DeskJet printer drivers for Word version 5.00 include paper feed options for Continuous, Bin1, Envelope, and Manual.
