Recently I was approached by a person attempting to get an Imagewriter LQ 
operating with a Plus (System 6.0.2, 1 Meg, Dataframe XP20) using Word and 
Works.  Both programs exhibit a "loss" or "compaction" of some of the spaces 
between words (but not all spaces).  It seems to occur most frequently 
with spaces before words which are capitalized.  

The same environment has problems controlling top-of-page margins.  Regardless 
of margin settings, the LQ always seems to put .5" at the top of page.  

LQ ROM Rev. is V(00). 
Dipswitch 1 is set to 00000110 
Dipswitch 2 is set to 00000000
Dipswitch 3 is set to 00000001
LQ driver software is V 1.0 

Anyone have any clues or experiences?  

Is dipswitch 3 (undocumented) used for hammer timing (as on the IW II)? 

Is there a tech manual for the LQ yet?  

Thanks for any help.
