Solution 1

document's 'Page setup' property page has a property 'Source Document' set it's value to '[feed,cut]'.

once it changed no need to change it, every time.

Happy Coding!

Old style printers like a dot matrix are driven entirely by the text they receive. There are several ASCII control characters set aside specifically to do this. Of particular interest to your question are the line feed (decimal 10, hex 0A), which move the page up one line, the vertical tab (decimal 11, hex 0B), which moves the which move the page up to the next tab row, and the form feed (decimal 12, hex 0C), which move to the next page. Note that the carriage return (decimal 13, hex 0D), only moves the print head to the start of the line, which is why the carriage return/line feed combo is used to move the print head to the start of a new line. With an old printer, just make sure you are not sending any of these control characters in your text stream.
