This is a simple program to easily send a form feed to a laser printer from the
DOS command line. It's kind of a pain in the neck to have to take the printer
off line, press the form feed key, and then put the printer back on line when,
for instance, using the copy command to print a small text file.
This program, when put into your path, allows you to simply type "ff <CR>"
after the file has finished printing.
If you want to use this program to print a form feed to any device other than
lpt1, write a batch file to redirect printing and put that into your path.
For instance, if your printer is on lpt2, use the following example:
"FF.BAT"
mode lpt1:=lpt2:
ff
mode lpt1:=lpt1:
This just uses the mode command to redirect printing on "lpt1" to the lpt2 port.
Put the bat file into your path and type "ff2 <CR>" instead of "ff <CR>".
