Bix:
Sorry to hear you're having difficulty. It sounds as if you have
downloaded the file OK, now it's a matter of reading it. The file format
is straight ASCII, with a carriage return at the end of each line. I
wouldn't be surprised if your printer wasn't printing another CR at the end
of each line, rather than printing every other line. The best way to read
such files is to open them in your usual text editor – Word, WordPerfect,
whatever – and then let that program deal with formatting the text for
printing. The line length is 6", which is about 72 chars per inch. I have
never tried to print anything from CIM, so I can't comment on how (well) it
works.
Hope this helps. Rich Bowers
Rich, thanks…I'm new to this and retrieving the file in WordPerfect for
Windows worked like a breeze. The printing was better and everything. The
article's great, especially with every line printed. Thanks for the help
and the informative article. Bix
