Users of 1st Word Plus release 1 and release 2 who have an Epson LQ series
printer with a cut sheet feeder may have experienced problems when printing
documents of longer than a page in length. This is very easily cured by
editing out the 'Vertical tab to line' option within the source(HEX) printer
driver and then recreating the printer driver. How to edit the source
printer drivers and re create them is documented in both the release 1 and
release 2 1st Word Plus User Guides. however you require further information
Customer Services have an application note available which covers the
operation in more detail which refers to the specific pages of the 1st Word
Plus User Guide. If you require a copy of this application note please send
an A4 SAE to Customer Services at the Vision Park address.
