printer driver 6 inch fanfold paper

[peterasf]

We recently installed Win 2000 on one of our systems. We use this system to print 6" tickets on an Epson dot-matrix printer using the ESC/P2 control codes. On earlier Windows (W98) versions the paper-size could be 'user-defined' and set to 6" high x 9.5" wide. In the drivers supplied by Microsoft and Epson this option is disabled.

Who can help us ?

Thanks

The page length can be set by a command to the printer in the document for my Panasonic KX-P1091i dot matrix printer (the documentation was in the printer manual). Your epson should be capable of this as well. For me, doc reads:

Sets page length in inches
ESC+C+0+n
Code: 27,67,0,n dec 1B,43,00,n hex
Input format: lprint chr$(27)+"C"+chr$(0)+chr$;

Upon receipt, the present line position becomes the top of page position. The value of n must be in the range 1<=n<=22. ESC C 0 n releases the VT, VFU and skip perforation settings. The page length does not change even if the paper feed amount is changed. The terms &quot;form&quot; and &quot;page&quot; are interchangable.

If you can find the doc to your printer, you may find information such as this. If not, contact epson. They may be able to provide you with this type of information.
