How do I suppress page-eject on label printer?

[OldxBaser]

My mind is drawing a blank on this.
I have formatted a 4" x 2.125" label (.125 is the inter-label spacing) in a .LBX label.

The LABEL FORM command is sent to a dedicated continuous roll-label printer (Cognitive model LBD42-2043-008).

The user usually prints 1 or 2 labels at a time. How do I prevent the printer from doing a page-eject (wasting several labels) after printing a single label (or after a set of labels when overall length exceeds the normal 11" page length on a page printer)?
Thanks in advance.

NOPAGEEJECT?

LABEL FORM YourLabel ...... NOPAGEEJECT

But I'm not sure in which version of VFP that was introduced.

But I'm not sure in which version of VFP that was introduced.

VFP 8.0.

I tried NOPAGEEJECT but VFP9 won't accept that keyword on a LABEL command.

I tried REPORT FORM... for that .LBX with the NOPAGEEJECT and it seems to spool the output, but when I close the print job it still does the equivalent of a pagefeed ... wasting the balance of the 11 inches of labels.

It is this 11" feed that I want to suppress because the LBX length should only feed to the top of the next label.

Have you by any chance got a printer environment set?

Open the labels in the designer and look at the Report menu. If there is a tick against Printer Environment, remove it, then save the labels.

I don't know if that will fix it, but it's worth a shot.

Thanks anyway Mike ... I double-checked but no printer environment.
(We always ensure the 3 fields in the FRX/LBX are empty for all reports. Our SourceControl program handles this.)
