OK ... Charlie, try these settings IF you are using continuous paper!

Page Setup: 'custom', '8.5', '11.0', 'tall', 'right only' pages,
'continuous', left margin= '0.25', right margin= '0.25', top
margin='0', bottom margin= '0'.

Section Setup: LayOut ... top='1.0', bottom='1.0', inside='1.0',
outside='1.0', header='0', footer='0',display on all
pages,columns='1'.

I use this with a 24 pin Panasonic printer with Wolfe Fausts'
PanaPrefs Driver setup.

This is correct! Also, when you go to print, check these settings:

Settings='graphic', print section='main', paper='all', collate='all',
order='front to back', print to:='graphic(final)', paper feed=
'continuous'.

These settings all work to print just fine for me and my kids on the
above printer. I have an A3000/25 with 2.1 OS and FW 4.01 ...

Someone, a long time ago, walked me thru this and gave me all these
settings way back with FC or maybe the original FW2-3? I have never
changed them cause they work.
