= SUMMARY =

When printing to a Panasonic KX-P1124 or KX-P1624, horizontal overprinting of the text and/or incorrect margins may occur if the printer’s control table is not set to the factory default settings or if a printer macro has been defined as MACRO1 (this has nothing to do with macros in Word).
