TEXT "Datatype" Does Not Interpret Form-Feed Correctly (132459)
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.5
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.5
This article was previously published under Q132459 SYMPTOMS
When you send a text-only print job that is assigned the TEXT data type to
a Windows NT printer, and that job contains form-feed characters (0x0C),
the form-feed characters are not converted into form-feed commands in the
final output.
For example, if the job contains "test1<ff>test2" (without the quotation
marks), where the <ff> represents a form-feed character, and the job's data
type is TEXT, the WINPRINT print processor should create a new print job
that prints test1 on one page and test2 on a second page. Instead, test1and
test2 are printer on the same page with a symbol representing the form-feed
character between those strings.
CAUSE
The Windows NT version 3.1 and 3.5 WINPRINT print processor attempts to
print the character rather than interpreting it.
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, upgrade to Windows NT version 3.51.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.1 and
3.5. This problem was corrected in Windows NT 3.51.
