# Memotech CIF “Copy” Fix for Hot-Z 11

Many TS-1000/ZX-81 users drive full size printers with the Memotech Centronics interface due to the wide availability and the ease of use with BASIC programming. However, machine code programs designed to operate the Timex printer have compatibility problems when producing screen copies that are longer or shorter than the standard 22 lines. A notable example is the single page copy function in HOT-Z II, which is a 24 line display.
