SYMPTOMS
In some cases, the final page may not be fully printed when printing a file from within Programmer's WorkBench (PWB) versions 1.0 and 1.1.



CAUSE
This usually results from the printer buffer not dumping the end of file.



RESOLUTION
One work-around to this problem is to force a form feed to the printer after the file is printed in order to clear the buffer.



MORE INFORMATION
The following is an example of how to set the PWB &quot;printcmd&quot; switch in the TOOLS.INI file to print the file and force a form feed:

printcmd: copy %s+form.txt prn

Note that the FORM.TXT file is a file that you must create in the current directory that contains a single form feed character (ASCII 12). You can create this file in PWB by opening a new file and pressing CTRL+P (the quote function) and then CTRL+L to insert a literal form feed character.
