I used to own an Epson FX-80 along with the Epson Apple Printer Link (APL) card. The code I used to use to initialize the printer with was: CONTROL-I 80N. This will give you the 80-column output on the printer. You can get into AppleWorks and set this value through the setup menus. Hope this helps. Art... __________ A Luna netcoking@aol.com
