This works for an HP Laserjet. I used it for our W2's.

  encode '<27><61>' into $HalfLineFeed
  print $HalfLineFeed (0,0)

This may be a silly question but how do you adjust a report 1/2 a SQR line
down? Our W2C forms have been cut funny so now I need to adjust the report.
It seemed like such an easy task but in reality I'm spending way too much
time on this "project". I hope someone can help. These are things I've tried
to manipulate..

1. I've adjusted the top-margin using both the old way Printer-Init and the
new way Top-Margin. No matter what I put (-1, .05, 2 mm) the margin sets as
0,1,2 full lines.
2. I've also tried to use 2 different declare layouts one with a smaller
line height to align the form then to reset it back but I'm having
difficulty using 2 declare report statements.

Here's the gist of the code from tax920us if it helps.. the setup I've added
instead of the setup03i.sqc to use declare-layout etc..

#DEFINE WCOLUMN1 4

begin-setup
      declare-layout W2C-layout
        paper-size=(8.5,11)
        orientation=PORTRAIT
        max-columns=80
        max-lines=66
        left-margin=0.5
        top-margin= 0.08
      end-declare

      declare-report W2C
        layout=W2C-layout
        printer-type=HPLASERJET
      end-declare
end-setup

      next-column
      print $String (1,12)

Thanks to all,
