Re: IBM 6400 Printer Issues

[Peter Dow <petercdow@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mary,

Back in the days of yore, a lot of printers used to have a "perforation 
skip" configuration setting for continuous feed forms.  For some there 
was a dip (dual-inline package) switch, a block of on|off switches to 
set options like this; and it was also software configurable.

The setup guide at 
ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/printers/manuals/6400/s2460116.pdf looks 
like it explains it.
