The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: A customer has a Panasonic KX-P4450i printer and is having problems with WordPerfect resetting the default paper tray. He wants all print jobs to come out of bin 2 except for a few special ones that will use bin 1. If he prints something from bin 1, then the other documents will also come out of bin 1. If he then prints from bin 2, then the printer's default is reset to bin 2.

This problem also occurs on the Panasonic KX-P4450. Solutions: WordPerfect sends a code to reset the printer to the lower tray at the end of each document. The problem is that the printer does not recognize the code unless a form feed is sent as well. This can be done by doing the following:
1.      Enter PTR
2.      Retrieve WPHP3.ALL
3.      Press Alt-F8
4.      Go to hpiireset and press Enter
5.      Go to the line that says [27]"&l1l1h0o0E" and place a [12] at the end of the line
6.      Exit, save, and update the printer driver in WP (Shift-F7, S, U)

The problem with doing this is that the customer will get a blank sheet at the end of every print job. However, the printer will default to the lower tray.
