dot matrix printer
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. |

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. -- Thoss |
