Problem

Solutions: If a customer is getting an extra line feed using a Tandy computer, the following options can be examined.

1.      Check Line Spacing code - change Line Spacing to 0.5"
2.      Check their CONFIG.SYS file for a DEVICE=LPDRVR command. This also causes an extra line feed, and could be taken out. If it is there, consider removing it.
3.      Every Tandy computer comes with Tandy DOS. On their DOS diskettes they should have a file called LFOFF.COM. This file could be put into the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and should stop the extra line feed.
4.      Disable pin 14. This is the pin on the printer cable, at the end that plugs into the computer. Tandy suggests putting tape around the pin to cut off the connection, but only if the user wants to risk getting tape stuck in the hole. Other options would be to push the pin in, or snip it off, which makes this cable only usable for this setup.
5.      The user could insert the following printer command string <27>5<0> at the beginning of every document which sets the spacing to single spacing.
6.      The user could change the codes for Horizontal Spacing and Vertical Motion in the PTR program. Enter PTR, Horizontal Spacing, and change Auto Line Feed with Carriage Return to Yes. Go into Vertical Spacing and change to VMI. Set VMI at [27]"3"Sendlo(vx). Set Max units to 255. Set Perform Line Feed to [10], and set Auto CR/LF to Yes.
      Note: This could cause problems with other printing functions, such as underline.
