= SUMMARY =

Support for the Tandy DMP130 printer was substantially changed between Word 3.0 and 3.1. The DMP130.PRD that was shipped with Word 3.0 supported the native Tandy mode of the printer. This version of the PRD is not documented anywhere. Fonts supported are Pica and PicaC 10, 12, 20, 24; PS 8, 16; and Italic 12, 24.

The DMP130.PRD that was on the Word 3.0 Printer Update disk and that is shipped with Word 3.1 supports the IBM emulation mode of the printer. This version of the PRD is documented in the “Tandy Printers Supported by Microsoft Word 3.0” addendum, and in the “Word 3.1 Additional Information” booklet.

The font choices are completely different for the two modes (and therefore for the two drivers) of the DMP130. The printer can be changed from one mode to the other by means of a switch on the printer.
