One our users has a problem with his Panasonic KXP-1081i dot matrix
printer.  He likes to save paper by printing on the very first page
using tractor feed paper, so he sets his printer to friction feed
for the first few lines then engages the tractors after the paper has
advanced far enough.

Trouble is, occasionally the paper seems to stick to the rollers, so that
two lines are printed too close together, or even overlapping one
another.  He says it isn't related to the tractor feed engaging, that
it happens while the printer is under friction feed.

Is there some cleaning or other PM I could try to banish this oddity?
Thanks for any advice on these printers, which I've never even *seen* before.
