Why is that ?
I don't remember having such problem with OKI's
Normaly printer should eject page to the tearoff point and then
with folowing printout it rewinds papper back to page top.
We printed out little forests with OKI's and we were actually very happy with them.
Only problem I experienced was sudden erroneous jumps of entire expressions
few lines down the page - and that was with VFP/FRX built reports.
It drowe me mad! And I never found out what was goin' on.
But that is history now, thnks god - we don't use them any more :)

>In addition to what the others have told you, dot matrix printers also tend to have an unusable portion on the top of the first page of the report for form feed and based on top of form settings on the printer. We use Okidata 320 Microline printers as well as HP laserjets and inkjet printers and have had to adjust the length of VFP reports when using Okidata dot matrix printers. Reports tend to start further down the first page to allow for the feeding of the first page.
