MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

Because the Xerox 4045 printer is not shipped standard with selectable paper bins, Microsoft Word version 5.0 printer drivers do not include bin support. To use additional bins with the Xerox 4045, modify the PRD file using the MergePRD or MakePRD utility.

The BinsSupported flag is a new feature of the Word 5.0 printer drivers in the model block. The actual escape codes to access additional bins are in bytes 38 through 50. The codes remain unchanged from the Word version 4.0 drivers.

You can add this support through the MergePRD utility by choosing the “Change Bin Support” option, and then adding the appropriate bin numbers. Or, you make the changes with MakePRD as shown below.

To modify the driver using MakePRD, do the following:

Change the following

BinsSupported: 0

to read as follows:

BinsSupported: 0 1 2

These changes also must be made in the Word version 5.5 printer driver. KBCategory: kbprint KBSubcategory: ============================================================================= Copyright Microsoft Corporation 1994.
