THE OKIMATE 10, OKIDATA 92/192..(WITH CA

WEEN THE ROWS ON..OKIMATE 10 DUMPS, USER
-DEFINED PRINT..PATTERNS, AND SAVING OF 
THE COLOR..RIBBON ON THE OKIMATE 10 WHEN
 THE..WHOLE LINE IS WHITE....  WE TRIED 
OCTOPUS ON AN OKIMATE 10,..AND THE RESUL
TS WERE QUITE IMPRESSIVE...WE USE AN OKI
MATE 10 TO PRODUCE..GRAPHICS FOR KIDS CO
MPUTER NEWS,..BECAUSE ITS DARK PRINT OUT
 REPRODUCES..WELL.  HOWEVER, THERE ARE U
SUALLY..WHITE LINES IN BETWEEN SOME OF T
HE..ROWS, WHICH HAVE TO BE FILLED IN WIT
H..A FELT TIPPED MARKER.  WHEN PRINTING.
.THE SAME IMAGE WITH OCTOPUS, THE LINE..
FEEDS ARE SMALLER, ELIMINATING THE..WHIT
E LINES.  HOWEVER, BECAUSE THE..LINE FEE
DS ARE SMALLER, THE IMAGE IS..COMPRESSED
 TO 81% OF ITS ORIGINAL..SIZE....  WE WE
RE UNABLE TO USE OCTOPUS..WITH OUR OKIDA
