I hope I can get this straight. The Epson Standard for a "micro-line-feed"
is 1/180th of an inch. Therefore, software written to support Epson
printers assumes this line spacing. The Panasonic probably uses the IBM
standard, which is 1/216th of an inch. Therefore, when the software sends
the micro-line-feeds, it assumes the paper advanced 1/180 of an inch, when
it actually advanced 1/216th of an inch.
  This explains what is going on, but not how to correct it. Check your
  Panasonic printer manual for information on this topic. See if your
  printer supports what IBM calls AGM (Alternate Graphics Mode), which does
  use 1/180 inch line feeds. Good Luck!
