Specifically, what are you trying to do?

One suggestion would be to go to the website of the printer mfg and download the manual for your printer.

Another alternative is to use the procedure below to generate of file which you then send to the printer.

AUTOMATICALLY GENERATE FILLER TEXT


Insert at start of a new paragraph.
=lorem(x,y) this will insert lorem ipsum text
=rand.old(x,y) this will insert quick brown fox phrase
=rand(x,y) this will insert word help text
where
x is number of paragraphs
y is the number of sentences per paragraph


Example of =lorem(2,3)
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Maecenas porttitor congue massa. Fusce posuere, magna sed pulvinar ultricies, purus lectus malesuada libero, sit amet commodo magna eros quis urna.
Nunc viverra imperdiet enim. Fusce est. Vivamus a tellus.

Example of =rand.old(2,3)
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

Example of rand(2,3)
On the Insert tab, the galleries include items that are designed to coordinate with the overall look of your document. You can use these galleries to insert tables, headers, footers, lists, cover pages, and other document building blocks. When you create pictures, charts, or diagrams, they also coordinate with your current document look.
You can easily change the formatting of selected text in the document text by choosing a look for the selected text from the Quick Styles gallery on the Home tab. You can also format text directly by using the other controls on the Home tab. Most controls offer a choice of using the look from the current theme or using a format that you specify directly.
