Yes, the printer is always in IBM PPR mode and I've verified that. chr(27) is the reset code. We store special codes for a printer (like page length, lines per inch, font size, etc in vars that are sent to the printer before and after a printjob such as:
???opt
@1,1 say "Line 1"
EJECT
???resetopt
Typically the opt and resetopt vars are actually empty so it is sending nothing. For some reason, at times, sending nothing causes the line feeds, hmmmmm, got me thinking of an obvious test....
>And what emulation are you currently running? You are sending a bare ESC (CHR(27)) as a Reset?

>>Running your code, the printhead ends up exactly where it should be, at the form tearoff. It appears to occur after a reset code is sent to the printer, but only on those 3 forms and the same reset code (27) is sent after all printjobs...
