I figured out the cause myself. If the KX-P1124 is set in any mode other
than the 10 cpi mode from the control panel (i.e. in my case it was set
to 12cpi mode), the printer driver that comes with EmTeX prtp6m (dvidot)
screws up and shears the top half of a few lines on the page relative to
the bottom half making the document look ugly. A suggestion to Eberhard
Mattes : dvidot needs to be written so as not to presume the mode in
which the KX-P1124 exists before printing the .dvi file, instead it should
issue commands to the printer and set it in the desired mode and then
print the .dvi file, then this bug should disappear. Many thanks again
to Eberhard for providing the PC community with such a fine program.
