Hi! I have a strange printing problem that occurs intermittently.

I'm using the Panasonic KXP-1121 to print invoices.

The printer will occasionally do an extra line feed before it starts printing the first line of the invoice.

This happens even though I did not issue any linefeed command.

The worst part is that it occurs intermitently making it hard to catch.

The program goes like this basically:

@PROW(),0 SAY CHR(27) + "P" && Change pitch setting
@PROW()+1,0 SAY 'Invoice'
@PROW()+1,0 SAY 'Total USD 1000.00'
EJECT

This problem happens after the users finished printing one invoice and feeds a new invoice sheet into the printer.

That's when the printer will occasionally do an extra unwanted linefeed.

I've spent 3 weeks trying to figure out this problem and it's making me nuts. It's caused many forms to be ruined.

I appreciate your help very much. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
