Panasonic KX-P4450 Laser/Roland Raven LP-1100 |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: The Panasonic KX-P4450 Laser (Roland Raven LP-1100) is fully supported with both WordPerfect 5.0 and 5.1, with some exceptions. Letter landscape will not work with either the Envelope Cassette or the Legal Cassette on the bottom and the Letter Cassette on top. Also, recently with the 5.1 driver, any ROM revision below 2.0 is not supported, although the driver has been adjusted to work better with older ROMs. Nevertheless there are still problems with ROM versions under 2.0, some unknown to us or Panasonic. The upper tray on the Panasonic is a "dummy" tray. Meaning the printer does not read which tray is in the top bin but instead reads the lower tray. Therefore if the user tries to print standard landscape with the legal tray in the bottom they will see that the text prints at the left edge of the page. The started printing in the middle of the sentence leaving about a 3" right margin. Place the letter cassette in the bottom tray and the job will print correctly. Be sure to turn the printer off when changing trays. You may also want to select Bin 2 on the printer control panel and in the Location for Paper Size/Type (Shift-F8, 2, 7). This has been successful for some customers. The driver for 5.1 was changed quite extensively on 03/09/90. These changes included: Printing speed increased, code printing out when switching orientations, incorrect PS widths on the internal Century 702 fonts, and margin problems, now allowing for 1/4" margins on top and bottom. Panasonic has informed us that in order to switch different paper size cassettes (i.e. taking the letter cassette from the bottom and replacing it with the envelope cassette), the printer must be turned off and then turned back on after the new paper cassette has been replaced. They have also mentioned another way. After switching paper cassettes, take the printer off-line, press the Reset button (on the printer) and then the Enter button (on the printer). This will reset the printer to recognize the new paper size, as well as removing any downloadable soft fonts that were in memory. All of these suggestions are from Panasonic and are related to the printer's design and functionality. Any information contrary to what is discussed here should not be used until verified as correct. As for 5.0, the same limitations apply. There have been reports of something working in 5.0 that doesn't work in 5.1 Currently, there is more specific testing going on with this printer, in both 5.0 and 5.1, to find any problems between the two versions. |
