If you were referring to the parallel Okimate-20 printer with white lines in the graphics printout, my manual says switch 5 is NOT used for anything. Regardless, turning switch 5 'on' did not remove the white lines and I doubt that a Rom change will either. After taking the printer apart, it's my opinion that the white lines are caused by slop in the line feed gearing. The gears have a lot of backlash in them as do some other internal parts. The Epson JX-80 on the other hand does just the opposite. The last dot in a line of graphics overlaps the first dot in the next line. Any solution to that problem? If you look at the cover photo on the front of the Oki manual, even their picture has white lines in it. Ed Martie *** There is a reply: 12883 Enter command, N for next message or <CR> for menu : n
