DCPRINT ON eject a blank page on my printer

[Bob de Haan]

Hello,

When i use the following code it eject a blank page on my printer.


DCPRINT ON TO oP ;
FONT "9.Courier"

DCPRINT OFF

Is this normal or can i turn this off?

I don't understand what you are trying to do.

DCPRINT ON uses the XbpPrinter() class.

This class always ejects a page after a print job.

Your code is creating a print job but you are not printing anything. Why?

[Bob de Haan]

Yes youre right.

I usually give a print command between these lines.
If i do, there is first blank sheet from the printer and then my print.

When i do without a print command. There come a blank sheet.
It seems that there is always a blank sheet.

[rdonnay]

Can you explain what you are trying to accomplish?

[Bob de Haan]

That the DCPRINT ON command ejects a blank page on my printer.

This is not logical and normally unwanted behaviour for the user. I never have a blank page, not before my print, and not after my print. You must be doing something wrong.

Are you printing at position 0,0? I think I remember that this causes a new page.

[rdonnay]

Send me some code that I can compile and run.

I still don't understand what you are trying to do.

You are complaining that you are getting a blank page and telling me that you want a blank page, all in the same paragraph.

I don't get it.

Hello,

Last week i had very busy. Sorry i couldn't respond.
The problem is still there. I don't print at position 0,0.

I am using a very old (i think) version of Express++.
It's version 1.8 build 227. The xbase++ version is 1.80 release 1.80.284.
Can that be the problem of my problems?
