Form feed usage?

[Adam Right]

Hi,

Anyone use the form feed '\f' character to print the documents. I cannot use
it, it remains undefined character on the paper.

I want to feed the paper to the second after printing the first invoice of
my invoices. But i cannot do it c# cannot send it the form feed character
rightly to the printer.

Also how can i insert line break between my invoices? Thanks a lot...

This sort of thing has not been generally feasible since teletype-style text
printers went out of widespread use a number of years back. You are talking
to a printer driver, not to a printer, and you generally can't assume the
hardware or the driver understand specific "control characters".

If you can specify whether you're printing from a WinForms or a web app,
then I'm sure someone can make specific recommendations for how you could
solve your issue.

In the print page event you can find the \f in the string and if it is there
break out of the printing loop also removing the \f from the string then set
ev.hasmorepages = true and it will print another page.
