Problem

Symptoms: When a user presses the Form Feed button on the Alps P2000G printer (using the Alps P2000+ driver) after printing to landscape paper (continuous fanfold paper), the printer ejects too much paper. It ejects 11" instead of 8.5" for the landscape orientation. Since the customer does most of his printing in landscape (11" x 8.5"), he does not want the printer reset to initial settings (8.5" x 11" paper size). Solutions: The customer did the following in the PTR Program to change this: 1. Enter the PTR Program, retrieve the .PRS file, and press Enter on the printer 2. Move to Initialize And Reset and press Enter 3. Move to Reset At End Of Print Job and press Enter 4. Remove all codes from this line 5. Exit the PTR Program and save the file NOTE: If these changes are made, the printer will no longer be reset for programs that are used after WP. In other words, the last settings that were used in WP are the settings the printer will be left with. Because most people are going to want the printer reset to the initial settings, Development will not make this change in the driver.
