Word Running with Windows NT Prints from Wrong Paper Bin
ID: Q103113
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a
-
Microsoft Windows NT 3.1
-

SYMPTOMS
When printing a Word for Windows document with Windows NT, the paper
source (for example, upper bin) that the document is formatted for may
be overridden.
CAUSE
Windows NT will automatically select an appropriate paper source based on
document formatting and the paper size (for example, legal), overriding any
bin specification made by the application.
STATUS
This problem was corrected in Windows NT Workstation 3.5 and Windows NT
Server 3.5.
MORE INFORMATION
Through the Windows NT Print Manager, an administrator can assign
particular paper sizes to particular paper bins on the printer. For
instance, the administrator can specify that all letter-size pages
printed from an application come from the upper bin, no matter which
bin the document is formatted for.
To print a particular paper size to a different paper bin from Word
for Windows with Windows NT, an administrator must reassign that paper
size to the desired paper bin in the Print Manager before printing.
To define which paper bin a particular paper size will feed from:
- Open the Windows NT Print Manager.
- Select the window representing the printer that will be changed so
that it is in front of any other printer windows.
- From the Printer menu, choose Properties.
- Choose the Setup button.
- From the Forms Source list, select the desired paper bin.
- From the Forms Name list, select the desired form name (for
example, Letter or Legal).
Note: For the document to be printed from the desired bin, no other
Forms Source (paper bin) should be set to the same Form Name.
- Choose OK.
- Choose OK.
This change to the printer will take effect immediately.
