  While I have done programming for the Paxar, I haven't actually seen it 
in action, since it was overseas.  The 5219 is a daisywheel printer, so any 
font changes require a physical change to the wheel.

  My suggestion is to change the config to either a 4214-2 or a 3812-1, 
which are continuous feed and cut page (laser), respectively.
