   Yes, an 800.

Are you still having trouble printing in microweave?

   The alternatives 64/16 and 32/16 gave me a floating point exception
   just after selecting the printer type and pressing OK. Stack dump
   at the end of this message.

It turns out that the weave code can handle this, but there's other
code that stores the separation as a 4-bit field.  No matter.

   None of the 64/4 or 32/4 looked good, but I've put them up at

   http://home.swipnet.se/consultron/scan3.jpg (56 kB) if they might give you
   some information.

Could you also try 24,4, 24,6, 24,8, and 24,12, please?  And compare them (if
possible) to microweave (720 or 360) for correct sizing?

If none of those look right, the next one I'd try is 48,6.

   Downloaded and tried it and the change works OK - i.e. I do no longer get
   paper feeds (STC800), just striped output. :)

Great.  Thanks for testing it.
