Panasonic KX-P4450 X And Y Position Change |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: In WordPerfect 5.0, the customer was able to change the Y origin on the Panasonic KX-P4450 printer to 250 to get a top margin of 1.5" without the software overriding the setting. In WP 5.1, using the printer driver date of 01/05/90, the software seems to override the printer's default and will not recognize the Y origin of 250. The result is a consistent 1" top margin no matter what the printer is set at. Solutions: The customer is having this problem in WP 5.1 because the driver is now setting the X and Y position at the beginning of each printed page. This change was made to the driver because the printer was not capable of doing this if different size forms were used in the same document. If the customer does not want the printer to reset at the beginning of each page, the customer can use the following steps in the PTR Program: 1. Enter the PTR Program, retrieve the .ALL printer file, and press Enter on the printer name 2. Press Enter on Initialize and Reset 3. Move the cursor down to Initialize at Start of Page 4. Move over into the Expression box and delete the variable panpg 5. Exit (F7) back to the main menu and cursor down to Printer Commands and press Enter 6. Go down to Printhead Bias (Top) and press Enter 7. There will be an IF statement that starts out IF(ORIENTATION) 600 ..., change the 600 to a 0 8. Exit the PTR Program and save the modified file. 9. Update the .PRS file in WP by pressing Shift-F7, S, 7 The user can now set the Y origin on the printer as desired, and the user should also notice that multiple page printouts will increase by 10 seconds/page. NOTE: WPCorp does not support these changes. The technician should enter an Enhancement Request for the customer so that WPCorp can keep track of how many people would really like this change. The technician that helps the customer with these changes is responsible for supporting the changes in the printer driver. An STR should not be written if there is a problem with this change as it is not supported. |
