Problem

Symptoms: Extra form feeds occur when the user prints documents with 0" top and bottom margins and text on every line of the page. Solutions: This is a limitation of the printer. How/Why: When there are no top and bottom margins on the page, the Carriage Return/Line Feed ([HRt], [HRt-SPg], or [SRt]) after the last line tells the printer to move to the next page. WP then sends a form feed to the printer which causes the extra blank page. This problem is not caused by WP and can happen with any line printer. The printer driver can be modified to work around this limitation of the printer. The following steps explain how to make this modification: 1. Run the PTR Program 2. Retrieve the .ALL or .PRS file for the printer (Shift-F10) 3. Press Enter on the printer name 4. Press Enter on Initialize and Reset 5. Cursor to Reset/Advance at End of Page 6. Press Enter to put the cursor under the Expression 7. Press Ctrl-End to delete the expression 8. Press Enter to move to the expression after Printer Auto Page Advance? 9. Press Ctrl-End to delete that expression 10. Press Enter, then press Alt-F7 to save the file and exit the program 11. If you edited the .ALL file, update the printer in WP by pressing Shift-F7, S, 7 This modification causes the WordPerfect to send line feeds to the printer to get to the end of the page instead of a form feed.
