The problems are mostly arithmetical problems, so with the left margin and the string length. The following table shows the correct values for all applications left margin: minimum left margin is always 0.42 cm right margin: normally set to 0 4 cpi (8 cpi expanded), 8 cpi Format paragraph right Ident = 0 cm 6 cpi (12 cpi expanded), 12 cpi Format paragraph right Ident = 0,2 cm 7,5 cpi (15 cpi expanded), 15 cpi Format paragraph right Ident = 0,4 cm - the printer internal fonts as double high characters can not be supported, because the SP300 expects an 1/6 inch linefeed, the driver always sends a 2/6 inch linefeed. This is usual in EPSON emulation.
