We have just recently obtained an ImageWriter LQ and have some questions. 1) Only the fonts supplied with the printer (Courier, Symbol, Times, and Helvetica) print out with the correct spacing. We have several PD fonts with lots of sizes, so not have 3x the printed size is not the problem. Words print over each other, or spaces between words are too wide. Anyone have a workaround/fix for this? Is there a dip switch we can change? which brings us to the next question... 2) In the IW LQ manual appendix, it lists dip switch settings for a variety of configurations, but it doesn't list precisely what each switch does. Does anyone know this information, or can you direct me to a source? Thanks. Ray Davidson UUCP : ...sun!cup.portal.com!ray Snail Mail: 22422 Walnut Circle South, #A Cupertino CA 95014

I can't recommend this printer to anyone with its current problems... -- Peter Steele, Microcomputer Applications Analyst Acadia University, Wolfville, NS, Canada B0P1X0 (902)542-2201x121 UUCP: {uunet|watmath|utai|garfield}dalcs!aucs!Peter BITNET: Peter@Acadia Internet: Peter%Acadia.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU
