SYMPTOMS
========

The printed output from your Okidata printer is wavey or uneven.

CAUSE
=====

Most Okidata printers print graphics bidirectionally. This causes one line to
angle one direction while the next line is angled in the opposite direction.

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this problem, set graphics printing to unidirectional in the
printer's setup menu. Instructions for how to do this are found in the printer's
manual.
