>I need to set a page length for a 3"H x 5"W label I am creating. It prints to an Epson LQ-850. The problem I am having, is the computer thinks I have 3 labels on an 8.5"x11" paper. How can I set the page length to be 3"?
If you are printing in text mode, send the appriate printer codes, to set the "page-length" to the length of the labels.
#define PC_ESC chr(27)
#define PC_PAGELENGTH PC_ESC + "C"
??? PC_PAGELENGTH + chr(18)
These commands should be similar for most Epson dot-matrix printers, but check the printer manual, just in case.
