SUMMARY

Several printers have "Data Processing Mode" and "Word Processing Mode" switches. These switches adjust the line spacing from one width to a width slightly wider.

An incorrect switch setting causes small blank lines to appear in a graphics image. These blank lines appear because the printer is spacing lines slightly farther apart than the graphics program thinks it is.

If you are getting these blank, horizontal spaces when trying to print a picture from PC or MS Paintbrush, you most likely are in the word-processing mode. Switch to the data-processing mode.
