Problem

Symptoms: The word spacing is incorrect on the Howtek Pixelmaster printer. The words squish together. Solutions: The Howtek Pixelmaster driver was written for 300 DPI movement (resolution). On the front panel of the printer you can set up the resolution at 240 or 300 DPI. My guess is that he has it set for 240 DPI. This can be changed by using the 40 command on the printer and entering the value of 01. Take the printer Off line, type 40 Enter, 01 Enter.

Also, this printer is being re-evaluated to be written for 240 DPI for two reasons: 1) The printer does not have a true 300 DPI mode, but instead the 300 DPI is being mathematically calculated using the 240 DPI movement. and 2) The default setting when the printer is shipped is for pixelmaster resolution (240 DPI) not HP LaserJet resolution (300 DPI).
