This is a plain ASCII text file that can be printed by entering the following DOS command: TYPE FITT90.DOC>PRN The manual makes use of the extended ASCII line drawing characters in some of the diagrams. If your printer requires some settings to be changed in order to print these characters, change them before printing this file. FITT90.DOC has been formatted based on a 66 line page. The top, bottom, left, and right margins should be about 1 inch. If you have a laser printer, be sure to change the page length from 60 to 66 lines. On a Hewlett Packard LaserJet series II, this is done from the front panel as follows: - Push "ON-LINE" to take the printer off-line - Push "MENU" five (5) times until FORM=060 LINES * is displayed. - Push "+" six (6) times until FORM=066 LINES is displayed. - Press "RESET MENU". The * should appear. - Press "RESET". The printer will go back on-line. The printer is now set for 66 lines per page. This setting should also be in effect when you use FITT to print out the tax forms. The placement of the page breaks is based on 66 lines per page. A 60 line page can be used, but the page breaks may split the forms in strange places.
