I have no experience with Okidata printers, but I would guess that this is a
line feed or form feed issue. There's usually a way to set the form length
in such printers, but it's been so long since I've had to do it (and I
suspect it varies so much from printer to printer) that I wouldn't even want
to guess. Time to haul out the printer manual! It's also possible that, if
these are friction-feed rather than pinfeed cards, the feed mechanism is
just slipping, possibly because the rubber platen or grippers are perishing.

Thanks, your instructions worked fine for the layout, however, when
printing
the text, part of it prints over other parts. This only happens on two
lines
but will print fine on a laser printer. Any suggestions on configuring the
OKDATA printer?

You may have to create a new label definition. In Tools | Envelopes and
Labels, select "Dot matrix." Start with Avery standard 4166 Index Card
or
4167 Post Card, click New Label, and enter the appropriate dimensions
for
your cards.

Need to print a large quanity of notices and have an ample supply of
Quill
#7-11982
continuous feed index cards. Would like to create a Word document and
print
these on an OK Data printer. Need to know how to set up the document
so it
will properly print on these cards. I don't find an option for these
cards
and presume I will have to set something up. Because I am doing this
project
for several locations, any help will be greatly appreciated.
