Don't know. I haven't used a line printer in years. When I switched from continuous forms with two copies, I went to laser sheets with check and two detail tabs (one goes with the check and the other staples to the filecopy of the invoice).
Those were Sami Aarons notes from 6.1/6.5. I checked the folder where I have archived my 6.5 stuff and I see file dates from '97 to '00, so it's been awhile. I fired up 6.5 and looked at the checkwrtr report and it is based on the laser printer, so no old stuff to look at to refresh, sorry. There might be some joy in a dedicated label printer (maybe an inkjet) that prints one label at a time, so when you issue the print command in windows, the driver interpolates the pagesize to be the size of the label you have designed. It seems likely such an animal would exist and would solve any of the page print related issues (when you issue a print command, a whole page of graphic gets sent to the printer along with the form feed) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Sinclair" <[email protected]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 26, 2012 4:29 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: Printing on Preprinted peforated forms in Rbase 9.1 How do you adjust the lines per page in version 9.1?
