You are magic, so I'd recommend sending the printer
commands to set the line height you want and the top margin of 1 inch
yourself.
If your report is nothing but detail section you can do it
all in a macro called AL D.
We set line height to 6 lines per inch and a top margin of
6 lines 1x, then set a flag to not send that command again (in case you set line
height to some other value
to fit the label height you have.
AL D detail
detail
IF{'SET 1,
;set lines per inch to 6, then top margin of 6
lines,
D(27)_"&l6D"^!,D(27)_"&l6E"^!,1^SET},
;now set line height to whatever you
need,
D(27)_"&l#C"^!
where # = the number of 1/48ths of an inch per
line. If you want even number of lines per inch use the &l#D
command which is lines per inch.
So D(27)_"&l8C"^! would set 6 lines per inch
(48/8=6) D(27)_"&l6C" would set 8 lines per inch
(48/6=8)
Note the l is a lower case L.

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Z.printer--label printing
The problem is that the line height is slightly too small. The Z.printer macro has a parameter for Lines per inch, but there is no documentation (that I can find) that explains
the syntax and values that can/must be used to tweak Z.printer.
If anyone can enlighten me regarding these arcane matters I would be most grateful, and
an example would be very helpful.
I'm currently using the Z.printer from Meditech's KB 15712,
%Z.printer(/R.CPI,/R.LPI,/R.PS,/R.CPL,/R.LP,{{"",/R.PS},{/R.CPI},{"",/R.LPI}})
For bonus points, another problem with the card stock--the top and bottom margins are
1 inch. Any ideas how to start the first label on the first line below 1 inch? (each label is one
"page" of five lines, so I can't use a page header). Thanks for any help.
