Problem

Solutions: Ghost columns with any absolute motion printer (such as Epsons, NECs and Panasonics): Cause: Serial codes are sent in 7 bits rather than 8 bits causing ghost problems with these printers. Fix: Set WP and the printer to 8 data bits or switch to parallel printing. Ghost or Moses columns can also appear when using long printer cables (longer than 6'). Some users have corrected the printing problem by changing printer cables.
