= SUMMARY =

Word provides support for the four internal fonts of the IBM 4216 Model 20 printer. This additional font support was added in Word version 5.00. Although the printer has support for many other fonts by way of soft fonts, Word does not provide support for these other fonts.

Word 4.00 uses IBMLASER.PRD and IBMLASERL.PRD to support the IBM 4216 Model 20 printer. With these printer drivers, the supported fonts are as follows:

Font Point Sizes —- ———–

Courier 8, 10, 12, 14, 18, 24 Helvetica 8, 10, 12, 14, 18, 24 Symbol (no bold or italic) 8, 10, 12, 14, 18, 24 TimesRoman 8, 10, 12, 14, 18, 24

Word 5.00 uses IBMLASER.PRD to support the IBM 4216 Model 20 printer. With this printer driver, the supported fonts are as listed above, except that even sizes 2-126 are available.

Support for the IBM 4216 Model 20 is not included with Word version 5.50. The necessary printer driver and INI file can be found on Supplemental Printer Disk #3. The files are IBM4216.PRD and IBM4216.INI. Supplemental disks can be obtained from Microsoft Sales and Service by calling (800) 426-9400.
