Problem:

I have an Epson FX series printer and use the EPSONFX.PRD printer driver.

When I format characters for Pica 8, I should get 15 characters per inch on the printout. Instead, I get 17 characters per inch.

Response:

When you format for Pica 8, Word sends a compressed-print code. Pica compressed on the Epson FX prints 137 columns on a standard page, which translates into 17 characters per inch.
