= SUMMARY =

The printer driver PANA1124.PRD, dated 11/28/89, was written for the Panasonic KX-P1124 with ROM Revision A. Starting with ROM Revision D, Panasonic has remapped the control codes for the BoldPS font. Using PANA1124.PRD (dated 11/28/89) results in text being formatted for Courier instead of BoldPS.

An updated printer driver (.PRD file) for the Panasonic KX-P1124 is available on the Supplemental Printer Kit for Word for MS-DOS version 5.5b. You can obtain the Supplemental Printer Kit from Microsoft End User Sales at (800) 426-9400. If you are outside the United States, contact the Microsoft subsidiary for your area. To locate your subsidiary, call Microsoft International Customer Service at (206) 936-8661.

The printer driver can also be found under the filename DWXPA0 in the Software/Data Library by searching for Q45512 or S12809. DWXPA0 was archived using the PKware file-compression utility.

DWXPA0.EXE and DW0211.EXE are the files for Canon .PRD files on the Microsoft Download Service (MSDL).
