SYMPTOMS
========

In Microsoft Windows version 3.1, when you print to continuous fanfold paper as
a User Defined Size while using the Epson ESC/P 2 version 1.0 printer driver,
the paper advances after the first page as if you had selected the
8.5-by-11-inch paper size.


WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this problem, install and use the EPSON24.DRV printer driver.
Select the model closest to the ESC/P2 model, for example, if you are using the
LQ-870, select LQ-850.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows version 3.1. We are
researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes
available.
