SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Windows version 3.1, when you print to continuous fanfold paper as a User Defined Size while using the Epson ESC/P 2 version 1.0 printer driver, the paper advances after the first page as if you had selected the 8.5-by-11-inch paper size.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, install and use the EPSON24.DRV printer driver. Select the model closest to the ESC/P2 model, for example, if you are using the LQ-870, select LQ-850.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
