You must set up the PAGE in whatever program you are using, 
if not all you will get is line feeds.
Make the margins as close to zero as possible and set the page width
to the size of the paper. 
Also in the printer driver, set the unprintable areas all to zero. 
This is for any Windows program.
DOS programs will not be able to use the Windows driver and
you will have to set up everything in that program.
