468.0. "EXTRA BLANK PAGE ON DOT MATRIX PRINTER" by ZPOVC::SAWATO (He lives!) Mon Apr 13 1992 03:44

Hi,
	Our customer has extra blank page problem with their dot matrix printer.
The problem is like: When they create document using Word Perfect in A1 and
print it using P option of A1, they get extra blank page after each job. This
problem happens on both printer connect DECserver and printer connect local
port. However, this problem does not happen on HP laser Jet. And if they print
document using print function of Word Perfect, no problem.
	Where do I have to check ? (printer type, PTU, printer H/W setting,
etc...)

Thanks in advance,

Shin

468.1Things to checkKETJE::CAPPELLEMANSThe Dark side of the \FORCEMon Apr 13 1992 10:2519
Hi Shin,

here are some small thinks to check. 
First of all try to isolate the problem by printing the document to a file,
there you can check if there is : an extra <FF>  
                                  an escape sequence generating a paper eject
    
If you don't see a reason why the <FF> is generated, try to print the generated file
from VMS using a form having no associated setup, and having a length of 255 and a
width of 255. ALL-IN-1 is clever enough to format your document perfectly ;-).
 
Check also in the user environment if they specify to print without
sheet feeders, printing with sheet feeders induces extra <FF>
 

Hope this helps

Pierre
