Form Sizes Not Supported In HP LaserJet Serie |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: In 5.0 the printer drivers dated before 2/16/90 allowed users with HP LaserJet Series II or compatible printers to select a continuous form size that the printer did not support. For example, one customer selected a Standard, 5.5" x 8.5", Continuous form even though the only sizes that the printer supported as continuous were Letter, Legal and A4, not 5.5" x 8.5" (i.e., they make a paper tray for that size). When the user setup the 5.5" x 8.5" form with release dates before 2/16/90 the job would print on an 8.5" x 11" sheet in the top left corner. In later releases of 5.0 and 5.1 this trick did automatically work. One would either have to press the continue button on the printer or use page offsets, which limits the location of the printed text on the page and defeats the initial purpose of using this option in order to get the page to print. To allow the print driver to run as it did in the past one may edit the .PRS file under Global String Variables. Once in the Global String Variables one would add the following string to the "hpiipageleng" string: ELSEIF(FORMWIDTH==6600&&FORMLENGTH==10200) formsize:=2 The actual keystrokes for this change are: 1 - Type PTR at the DOS prompt 2 - Retrieve the desired .PRS file 3 - With the .PRS file on the screen press Alt-F8 to go into the Global String Variables 4 - Cursor to "hpiipageleng" and press Ctrl-Enter. A list of ELSEIF commands will appear 5 - Cursor to the end of the ELSEIF list and add the following string: ELSEIF(FORMWIDTH==6600&&FORMLENGTH==10200) formsize:=2 *There is a Tab before ELSEIF and also before formsize 6 - Exit PTR saving the changes |
