MORE INFORMATION ================ Under Windows NT version 3.5, you can set the default data type for a print queue to Raw (FF Auto) or RAW (FF Appended). When you choose RAW (FF Auto), Windows NT adds the appropriate command to produce a form feed at the end of the print job, unless Windows NT detects that a form feed command is already at the end of the print job. When you select RAW (FF Appended), Windows NT adds the appropriate command to produce a form feed at the end of the job.
