I can't find this in my FX-85 manual and have never heard of it. But we
were trying th get a Texas Inst. printer to work with PrintMaster(tm)
and were using the FX-80 printer driver and had a very similar effect.
Turns out that the printer uses MX-80 for 'almost perfect' emulation.
Meaning: be sure you are using the correct printer driver.
