Problem

Solutions: The Tandy DWP 520 and Tandy DWP 230 printers have a dip switch on them that should toggle between single and double line feed.

For a Tandy printer emulating Standard printer, the printer will double space unless the user makes one of the following changes:
1.      Enter PTR program, retrieve the .PRS or .ALL file.
2.      Press Enter on the printer name.
3.      Highlight Vertical Motion, press Enter and press Enter on VMI.
4.      Highlight Perform Line Feed, press the Right Arrow to highlight the expression [13,10] and remove the ,10, leaving just a [13].
5.      On the line below where it says, Auto Carriage Return on Line Feed, leave the option set to Yes.

OR:
1.      Enter PTR program, retrieve the .PRS or .ALL file.
2.      Press Enter on the printer name.
3.      Highlight Initialize and Reset, press Enter
4.      Highlight Initialize at Start of Print Job and press Enter. Add the code [27,22]. This turns the Auto Line Feed function off.
5.      Highlight Reset at End of Job and press Enter. Add the codes [27, 22]. This turns the Auto Line Feed function back on and resets printer for other programs.
6.      Exit and Save.

OR:
Include the line listed below in the AUTOEXEC.BAT File.
Mode LPT1:;;P
LF off

Also, please note that Tandy daisywheel printers should not be used with the Standard Printer emulation. The Standard Printer driver does not send any impact codes for printing. If the Standard Printer definition is used with a daisywheel printer, the daisywheel spokes could become damaged.
