LPT1 skipped lines at page-breaks

When I print (LPT1) from vDos (from my Open editor) at every page break, 2 or 3 text lines go missing. I’ve tried playing with LPT1 = VERT: top [,scale [,bottom]] but while this does effect the scaling and margins, I still get the 2-3 missing lines at the page breaks. The only other commands I have in my config.txt are:



CTRL+V = OFF

FONT = FONTS\LUCON.TTF

THEME = 6

TEXT = 50x80



The printer is a Samsung ML-3310D.

I have this provisional line in the list of changes to the next (2023.05.01) version:
"Forced page break with printing not accounting for the top margin."

And a second line regarding VERT: top [,scale [,bottom]] not working as expected:
"HORZ/VERT options now override eventual embedded PCL margin settings."

But a scale setting of for instance 95% should still fit more lines between the top and bottom margin?

Thanks for that. Yes – I’ve already confirmed that setting scale < 100 does fit more lines in – but I still get 2-3 missing lines at the page-break (just a different 2-3 lines).

Prompted by what you said, I’ve just tried LPT1 = VERT:0. This improves matters – I now get just one missed line at the page-breaks.

Update: the following works for me – no missing lines.

LPT1 = VERT:0,100,10
