     I am using LOTUS 1 2 3 with Gemini 10X printer. 
The printer works fine in text mode. But in graphic mode,
it keeps inserting extra carriage return(?), therefore the printout 
is two times as big as it should be and the whole drawing is not
continuously connected. The switch setting on the printer will
only affect text mode. Is there any way to have Gemini 10X work 
with LOTUS 1 2 3 in graphic mode?

    The second problem arised when I opened the case of the printer
in order to change the switch settings. I was wondering whether I
can reprogram the EPROMs inside the printer to make it 100%
EPSON MX- or FX- series printer compatible or at least change the
funny character fonts j and y.
