SUMMARY
The printer driver LQ2500.PRD for the Epson LQ-2500 contains codes for dual-bin sheet feeding that are incorrect for the Epson dual-bin cut-sheet feeder. The driver does not feed from bin 2 under any circumstances. Additionally, a running head that is formatted in Microsoft Word to print at the bottom of the page will print at the top of the next page.
MORE INFORMATION
The problem can be corrected by using Word’s MakePRD utility. To modify LQ2500.PRD, do the following:
Use MakePRD to convert LQ2500.PRD into a text file.
Load the text file into Word and page down through the file until you locate the four lines that read as follows:
byte:38 mod:0 “[Y^A” byte:42 mod:0 “[YR” byte:46 mod:0 “[Y^B” byte:50 mod:0 “[YR”
These lines should be changed to the following:
byte:38 mod:0 “[Y1” byte:42 mod:0 “L[^YR” byte:46 mod:0 “[Y2” byte:50 mod:0 “L[^YR”
Save the corrected file as unformatted and use MakePRD to convert it back into a binary file.
Note: In the Word 5.00 printer driver, byte:38 and byte:46 are already correct. Only byte:42 and byte:50 need the “^L” code added.
