I would like to use a 24 dot matrix printer (citizen swift). The machine
recognizes paper forms : 6", 8", 11", 11.6", 12", 14", 15 inch forms.

But I would like to use A4 forms. Does somebody know, how to put the format
in the machine ?

Thx.

Use the 11.6" setting. A-4 paper is 11.69" long - close enough for all
practical purposes.

That is correct, of course, but A4 fanfold paper as used in dot-matrix
printers is 11.667" long, as it has to conform to the perforations which
are set at 1/3" intervals. But the 11.6" setting is what's required.
