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
