Re: AppleWorks 3.0 & Canon BJ-200

Well, now I solved the problem. There has been nothing wrong with margin 
setting or printer setting. The only problme was "Interface Card Codes" 
in printer setting menu. When I added a new "Custom" printer, it has been
set by default to "Control-I 80N". I guess this is the setting for super 
secial card (or some serial interface card). Since I am using parallel 
interfact, I removed all the codes. Since then, the printer is working 
like a charm.

Just curiosity, what is "Control-I 80N" mean. I guessed "80N" part as
"8-bit, no stop bit, no parity". But what is "Control-I"?

Thanks for the responses.
