Graphs from the spreadsheet don't fit on a sheet of A4 paper in my 24 pin printer - what should I do?

This is because the graphic dots printed on a 24 pin printer are larger than on a 9 pin printer.  However, the printout will fit if you start printing right at the top of the page and use the printers DIP switch settings to make it ignore the 'out or paper' sensor.
