Problems with the printing SunType forms? Is your printer an HP or newer?
Hewlett-Packard printers, and many others, come from the factory programmed with
a "default page length" of 60 lines; the correct length for an 11 inch page of
paper is 66 lines, not 60. If the page length setting is incorrect, the top of
each page will "creep" down the page 6 lines at a time. When you get to the last
page, it doesn't know the job is done.
HP chose this default setup way back when Word Perfect was the dominant word
processing program (before Windows) and they've never bothered to change
it. Other manufacturers did it 'cause HP was the main printer manufacturer. It
hasn't mattered to any Windows program for years -- Win controls its page breaks
differently. The setting only matters to programs like SunType that format pages
by "counting" lines rather than using "form feeds".
So, the real solution is to program the printer to recognize a 66 line page. If
that isn't possible, many printers allow you to push a "form feed" button to
print the last page without printing anything else. Check your printer manual
for instructions on changing the setting.
