= SUMMARY =

When printing to the Mannesmann Tally MT80 using the MT80.PRD printer driver, superscript and subscript formatting do not print properly.

When superscript or subscript formatting occurs in the document, the scripted formatting will continue throughout the rest of the document. The superscript and subscript characters will also be printed at half the height of a normal character instead of full height (according to Word’s specifications, superscript and subscript characters should print as full-height characters).

The following steps describe how to modify the MT80.PRD file to correct the superscript and subscript formatting problems:

  Use the MAKEPRD utility to convert the MT80.PRD file to a text file and load the file into Word. (For more information on using the MAKEPRD utility, see Chapter 6 in the “Printer Information for Microsoft Word” manual.)   In the PCSD section of the driver, locate the following block of information: byte:174 mod:0 magic:0 value:0 “[S@” byte:180 mod:0 “^[H” byte:184 mod:0 magic:0 value:0 “[SA” byte:190 mod:0 “^[H”   Edit the block so that it reads as follows: byte:174 mod:2 magic:0 value:0 byte:180 mod:0 byte:184 mod:2 magic:0 value:0 byte:190 mod:0   Save the text file and use the MAKEPRD utility again to convert the text file to a PRD file (use a new name for the PRD file so that the original MT80.PRD is not overwritten).   Start Word and change the Print Options “printer:” field to the new PRD file.
