Problem

Symptoms: When printing to a Panasonic KX-P4450 with a legal cassette in 5.0, the printer would stop and prompt him to load in the legal tray if the letter tray were in the printer. In WP 5.1, the user is not prompted. Is there anything that he can do to the driver to get the printer to prompt him for the legal tray? Solutions: The reason the code is not needed is because the tray is expected to be in the printer. When using any paper cassette other than letter size, the cassette must be placed in the lower slot and the printer must be reset. If the printer must be reset before printing to the legal tray, then the code to tell the printer to switch trays is not any good. Problems can occur if the printer does not get reset, which is what happens when the printer prompts for the legal tray. In addition, the following steps can be entered through the PTR to enable the user to be prompted.
1.      Retrieve the printer driver
2.      Change to sheet feeder information (Shift-F8)
3.      Go into Printer Commands and select Bin.
4.      Go to the expression side and press Ctrl-Enter to edit.
5.      Add the following two lines to the top: IF(FORMLENGTH==16800) [27] "&l84P"ENDIF
6.      Exit and save.

Another customer wanted the printer to prompt for both the legal tray and the letter tray. The steps for doing this are basically the same as above except for the command entered in step #5. Instead, add the following three lines for step #5:
IF(FORMLENGTH==13200) [27]"&166P"
ELSEIF (FORMLENGTH==16800) [27]"&184P"
ENDIF
