Re: Printing confusion

[Al Mac <macwheel99@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We had a similar problem.  Turned out the siplest solution was to print on 
2 less lines, and have the form a sliver of characters narrower.

The problem was that even though many PC printers emulate some type of 
printer known to IBM OS, there is a break down of plug & play on the PC 
printer end.  They can't handle the full width of the printer they are 
supposedly emulating.  Many of these PC printers are designed for both cut 
sheets and continuous forms.  Even though we are using them with continuous 
forms, they sometimes act like they can't turn off cut sheet features to 
grab paper at top bottom & sides, so the output from 400 has to leave extra 
blank space at top bottom and sides to accommodate these PC printer 
inadequacies.
