Depending on the emulation that printer's capable of, you might be able to use an alternate driver. Try to use a Win2K driver for it, even if it's for a printer your KX is trying to emulate. You can use an NT4 driver, but you'll lose control over such things as form sizes, which is critical for nonstandard forms.
As for Margins and Page Length there are two things you need to do.
First, Windows NT, 2K and XP let you define additional paper sizes. Go to the Printers window, hit File and then Server Properties. Here you can define different form sizes and margins, and then you can tell Windows in your printer's properties that your printer has this new form, and only this new form, for printing. When you do this, all applications that bother to check this (such as MS Word) will work as though you have that size paper in your printer.
Depending on the driver, you might need to tell Windows that the form is a Continuous Feed (With Break) as opposed to (Without Break) if you find that your printing's creeping up the paper a line per page. This happens mostly with the Generic/Text Only driver than others.
Second, the printer itself should have a setting of some kind telling it how large your paper is. Okidata printers for instance have this in their printer's menus that print the settings right on the paper. Tell it this so things like form feed and form tear-off work properly with your paper.
I've had to do this for travel agencies that print to 3 1/2" coupons using Okidata line printers. After I actually created a form type of 3 1/2" x 7" for coupons and told it to use continuous feed with break, Windows and applications happily honored my printer settings. |
