SUMMARY
=======

The Windows HPPCL printer driver supports the Okidata LaserLine 6 directly with
512K of printer memory only. However, Okidata has confirmed that the printer was
shipped with a standard 128K of internal memory.

It has been reported that using the LaserLine 6, with the HPPCL driver, with only
the standard 128K results in inaccurate page formatting.

MORE INFORMATION
================

There are two possible solutions to this problem:

- Instead of installing for the LaserLine 6, install for an HP LaserJet with
  128K. Both use the same HPPCL driver. This results in proper output; however,
  the LaserLine 6's internal helvetica fonts are not available.

-or-

- Contact Okidata and purchase the memory upgrade kit (#7000-9201).

NOTE: Okidata has discontinued production of this printer.
