I seem to have a problem printing out a spread sheet from 2020 to
my LA50 in compressed mode (i.e. 132 columns)  I have the LA50 set
up to 16 char per inch and set up 2020 to print a width of 132 or some
what less.  The first page prints out fine, the second page print 
after about 10-15 lines garbage.  A line will start out fine and
then backward question marks will print out for the rest of the line
and the CR will get lost, etc.  After about 10 lines of this the
print stops, even if it is not complete.

Any ideas?  I know that backward question marks often indicate the
wrong parity, but one good page and then garbage..  Also, it works
fine in the normal 80 char per page (but then I have to cut and past
the pages together)

Thanks
dennis
