Don't be surprised if the updates to cpm etc don't fix your 630 bug.
I bet your using wordstar.  The newer versions of wordstar have a bug
in the etx-ack protocol area when using HMI to right justify.
I tried to get them to fix it to no avail.  It seems that if the
HMI sequence happens to be an ETX char then the printer responds
with an ack and loses the next char or two which are assumed to
be the finish of the HMI sequence.  Old versions
of wordstar don't have the problem.  Early versions of the 630
also had a bug in their roms you might check with Diablo on the
rev date of your diablo.
