My 5. Always prefer the portable. However, if this is a printer and the Question is exactly about form feed, it's 12, CR is 13.

Solution 1

You have to "print" a control code to the printer.

The ASCII code for Form Feed is 12, so this should work:

VB

Dim myFeed As String = Chr(12)

'Then send the myFeed string to the printer using the same technique you used to print you print job...
