I am getting some pretty decent output from my Panasonic 1124 printer except for the fact I am limited to 80 columns by it. In fact, an 8.5" wide piece of paper seems to me to be 85 characters wide. Does anyone know how to get full width ouptut from these pups? I'd like to get full width from Scribble! as well as ProPage. Anybody tried this? Is there a way to get full width when memo loading paper sideways as well? Thanks for any info in advance. Bil.

Bil, 80 Characters (in PICA mode) *is* full printing width on that printer. If you switch to Elite(12) or Condensed (15-17) you will print more characters, but in the very same AREA. So using "wider paper" won't help you at all. You could use a DESKTOP PUBLISHING program and print in LANDSCAPE mode – and get nearly 11" wide. But then your paper would be 8.5" TALL (with an 8" PRINTING area!). Lloyd
