Title:
Dot-matrix form feed
I want to print a report directly to the dot-matrix printer and I want to control the lenght of the print by line feed.
But when I try to print 2 or more copies even the printer is set to 12"(ex.) the next copy is moved about 2 or 3 lines because of form feed of the windows and after the last copy it prints like an empty page (after SET PRINTER TO).
There is a way to bypass the windows form feed and to control the lenght page by line feed ?
I use a code like :
******************************
_padvance="linefeed"
cPrinter = GETPRINTER()
SET PRINTER TO NAME (cPrinter)
FOR lpage_printing = 1 TO lnbr_pages_to_print
SET PRINTER ON
SET CONSOLE OFF
SET PRINTER FONT 'Courier',10
? "This is the first line"
?
? "This is the third line"
SET PRINTER OFF
ENDFOR
SET PRINTER TO
SET CONSOLE ON
*******************************************
