All Text is Printed in Italics (lIc Plus and IlGS)- If you are
using the Grappler 9 Pin in parallel mode to print text docu-
ments, set switch A to the OFF position
Pages Do Not Properly Align in Multiple Page Docu-
ments - This problem is most often caused by the printer’s
inability to execute a Reverse Line Feed. The lmageWriter
driver often moves the paper backwards for positioning pur-
poses. The Grappler 9 Pin has a partial compensation for this,
but it cannot completely correct for a feature not supported by
your printer.
Unlike other Epson FX’s, the Epson FX-86 & FX-286
printers do not have reverse-line feed. To get proper page
alignment it is recommended that you use the Epson RX switch
settings. Unless you are printing in color, the switch settings for
the Oki 192 are recommended.
The best way to work around this is to print only a few pages
at a time, realigning the paper before continuing, or to use single
sheets when printing longer documents.
