Hi Everyone,

I have been trying to set up a printing routine on a 8-1/2" x 11" letter
size paper to print on a page length of 3-2/3 inches so that I can print
three invoices on the whole letter size paper.

I tried Top Down and Xbase++ syntax but I cannot get the right combinations
to make the routine work.

Please help.

Thanks,

You must print the invoice one after another without a page eject. 
Windows printing is page oriented not line oriented as in Clipper.

To do this add a vertical offset value to your print routine and only 
issue an eject after you have printed three invoices or you are done.

James,
Thank you for the information.

I was able to print on a line oriented way by using the hints from Top-Down.
First, I print to file using the op:lAscii = .t. and at the end, I print the
file using "run type xxx.txt > prn".

Hi Carmelo,
    If you are using xp. go to
    control panel -> printers -> File -> Server Properties ->Forms. Check 
Box (Create New Forms) and then give your new form the required dimensions 
and a name. Then in topdown just choose that form to print on your chosen 
printer
