Have observed several articles on this subject but so far no mention of the
solution I discovered quite by accident, so here goes.  I had the same sort of
problems with feeding, compressed first lines, etc. when I first got my IW-II
printer.  Just after I finished reading the Macintosh Bible, in which they
touted the benefits of the Sheet Feeder for the IW-II, I ran across a 25%
discount deal on the Sheet Feeder.  So I bought it and have had excellent
results for the past six months.  I even managed to sell my supply of pin-feed
forms, a lucky stroke indeed!  I realize that the Sheet Feeder is almost half
the price of the IW-II, but thought it worth mentioning for consideration.
