Hi Mary,

Back in the days of yore, a lot of printers used to have a "perforation skip" configuration setting for continuous feed forms. For some there was a dip (dual-inline package) switch, a block of on|off switches to set options like this; and it was also software configurable.

The setup guide at ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/printers/manuals/6400/s2460116.pdf looks like it explains it.

Hello

We have an IBM 6400 printer attached to an I5 running v5r4 via a 4178 adapter

Before each report the printer is sending a line feed..so the first page of each report is down 1 line...Within a report is fine no extra line feeds...so if we print 6 reports in a row...the 6th report starts 6 lines down....we have sent traces to IBM...they tell us that the I5 is not sending the line feed...hardware cannot see anything within the printer setup that is sending a line feed

We have it defined as *vrt 3812....

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Mary
