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

Problem

Symptoms: In WordPerfect 5.0, using the Canon printers with sheet feeders and switching paper size as well as bins causes problems for the printer. This was also a problem with WP 5.1 but has been corrected. The printer will only pull from the optional envelope tray one time, and then the printer prompts the user to feed letter size paper. Solutions: This was a problem in WP 5.1 but was fixed by adding some Canon Page Length codes to the driver. This has been logged as a WP 5.0 printer driver problem (#886), but is a low priority. This can be corrected by using the following steps in the PTR program:
1.      Enter the PTR program, retrieve the printer driver file (.ALL or .PRS) and press Enter on the printer name
2.      Highlight Initialize and Reset and press Enter
3.      Highlight Set Page Length and press Enter
4.      Press Ctrl-Enter to edit
5.      The expression should look like the following:
      IF(PAPERLENGTH==13200&&ORIENTATION==0)
            csi"30p"
      ELSEIF(PAPERLENGTH==13200&&ORIENTATION==1)
            csi"31p"
      ELSEIF(PAPERLENGTH==14032&&ORIENTATION==0)
            csi"14p"
      ELSEIF(PAPERLENGTH==14032&&ORIENTATION==1)
            csi"15p"
      ELSEIF(PAPERLENGTH/600==19&&PAPERWIDTH/1200==4)
            csi"81;2850;1200;p"
      ELSEIF(PAPERLENGTH==16800&&ORIENTATION==0)
            csi"32p"
      ELSEIF(PAPERLENGTH==16800&&ORIENTATION==1)
            csi"33p"
      ELSE
            csi"8"ASCII(ORIENTATION)
      ";"ASCII(PAPERLENGTH>>2)
      ";"ASCII(PAPERWIDTH>>2)"p"
      ENDIF
6.      Exit the PTR program and save the modified printer driver file
7.      If the changes were made to the .ALL file, update the .PRS file in WP by pressing Shift-F7 (Print), S (Select Printer), 7 (Update)
