The printer may be doing this internally, many dot matrix printers
had the ability to set the page length and perforation skip on DIP
switches.
yes, got it:
dip switch 2-3
ON: 1-inch skip-over-perforation
OFF: NO skip-over-perforation
Need to power off/on for the new settings
to have effect.
Thanks
Anton
