Word supports the Proprinter, Proprinter II, Proprinter XL,
Proprinter 
III/IIIXL, Proprinter X24/XL24, and Proprinter
X24E/XL24E models. Be 
sure to use the PRD file that supports your

slightly off if you use dots as tab leader
characters when using PS 
fonts.

IBMXL24D.PRD supports downloadable fonts for the Proprinter
X24/XL24 and

at a time with this 
printer. Note that Works supports more font
sizes than are listed on the 
font cartridges by expanding or
compressing the font sizes.

Font Information

Fonts are supplied on disks. Works supports only those fonts on
the disks 
that come with the printer.
Most fonts 
are loaded from disk into memory when you start to
print. The exceptions 
are the very large and very small font
sizes. These fonts are loaded 
dynamically-when the printer needs 
to change fonts, the font currently 
loaded is unloaded and the
new font is loaded. Using these fonts can 
slow printing
considerably. 

Bold and italic are available only where noted.

IBM Personal Page Printer 4216

Word supports this printer in PostScript mode, using the EPT
port. If 
you have an IBM Personal Page Printer 4216 Model 30 or
31, use the 
POSTSCRP.PRD available in file DKXPS0.

The files to support this printer using the EPT port are
available on 
the Supplemental Printer Kit #1.

The IBM4216.INI file is required. Be sure this file is on the
same disk 
or in the same directory as IBM4216.PRD. If you use the
Setup program to 
install your PRD file, the INI file is
automatically copied with the 
IBM4216.PRD file.  Select LPT1: to
choose the Pageprinter's special EPT 
port.

To print in landscape mode, reverse the settings in the Height
and the 
Width boxes in the Format Margins dialog box.

IBM4216.PRD                   Also requires IBM4216.INI.
