In the first record, clear the TAG and TAG2 fields. Also in the first record there is a field called EXPR. Don't clear it all -- but edit the field and clear the printer information. You still want to retain things like orientation.

I was going to suggest printing in DOS-Like mode, It's faster. But I see you are fine with graphic mode.
