Changing the printer driver
Right-click on the printer icon and choose
Properties from the pop-up menu. Click the New
Driver button (in the Details or General tab), then
select the new driver.
If your dot matrix printer (for the tractor form) is
one of the Lexmark or Okidata models listed
below, you can easily bypass the factory-set form
length on your printer by changing your printer
driver to an Epson model. This will eliminate the
need to manually shorten the form length on the
printer, saving you time and frustration. These
drivers read the paper size you specify in your
print setup configuration and save you the
trouble of changing the printer’s settings for each
document you print.
Suggested printer drivers:
Tractor
• Lexmark 2380/90x series: use the Epson FX 850
• Okidata 320/321x series: use the Epson FX 86E
• Okidata 520 or 590 series: use the Epson LQ 2550
Other drivers may work. These are just
suggestions to help you set up your printer.
Important! This list is not comprehensive and
there may be alternative drivers for your printer
that are not listed here. In fact, you may need
to try several drivers before you find one
that works. Contact your printer manufacturer
for alternative driver suggestions or other
information about printing custom form sizes on
Figure 37: Page Setup in Windows NT with a custom form
size named UPS hazmat.
