Custom page length not available

Post by Jeff_Fried_(Guest) » Fri Dec 23, 2005 7:54 am

Kathleen,____An Epson FX-890 impact printer is printing to a 7-inch length form, but there is no way I can find within R&R to set the page length. The driver offers a variety of paper sizes, none of which apply, but no option for customizing the page length appears as an option.____Is R&R (v 11) therefore not able to work with this printer/form size?____If not, then why does an existing report written in Alpha Five^s report writer provide a page length option? What is the difference between R&R and another report writer to customize when the printer^s driver does not provide that option? Or is there some hidden feature within R&R that I have not discovered?____Thank you for your help.____Jeff
