Hi all,
I have an Amiga 3000 16MZ with 6M and a panasonic 24 pin printer.
My problem is in the connection of my word processor (Pen Pal) with the
printer. Even when I had my Amiga 2000 I had the problem, so I know
its not the machine. Pen Pal seems to know what it is doing with page
size, but the printer seems to override. I am using single sheet feed
and the printer always thinks it needs one more inch to complete a page
then what Pel Pan tells it. I have had to put a blank sheet in every
time just so it can form feed it.
If anyone is using Pen Pal and the Panasonic 24 pin single sheet feed,
I sure would appreciate the help on setup. Write your reply here or
call me at DTN 456-5596.
Thanks,
Gail

I have a KXP1624 an A3000 and PenPal. I don't have encouraging words
for you. I have been so disgusted with PenPal that I have returned to
ProWrite and I am mostly happy. I'll be happy to try anything you want
on my system for you, to see if I get the same results.
One thing tho' When you start printing, do you print from a sheet that
has been autoloaded into the printer? That is: you drop a sheet in and
pull the lever on the right hand side and the sheet feeds in
automagically? If so, then you have the top margin problem. Pen Pal
thinks that it is always printing from the top of the page (right at
the TOP [perferation or cut edge] of the page). Since the autofeeder
always gives you an inch (6 lines) at the top so that the rollers can
grab the paper, you always have the problem of PenPal thinking that the
paper is an inch longer than it really is. You can check this out
quickly by placing a piece of paper in your printer and rolling it
backwards until the print head is RIGHT AT THE TOP!
