Short story:
I need to print to a really large paper on my work (it's like 5 pages letter united), we use a custom paper configuration but printers has a limit per page and i dont know if we can use "printing continuously" or something to achieve this. We failed on this. maybe it's configuration?
Full story:
We have a big report made with FPDF, it must fit a large paper (pre-printed forms), due to printer paper size limit, we devided the report in two pages (tried with only one page but stops printing at limit), both pages with the maximun limit of the printer and we make a custom paper size in the printer configuration.
Then it works in Epson FX-890, at the end of first page, the printer make a small jump and continue printing the second page in the same paper. It fit perfectly on the large paper.
But now, they bought a Epson LQ-590 (and others models) but in this case failed to print, because when printing, at the end of first page just stops and throw the entire large page. Does not print the second page until you put another paper, but it's only one paper!
¿What I can do? ¿There is a configuration for big large paper? ¿There is a way to just print continuously line by line, avoiding paper size? ¿There is an api, program, or something to achieve this?
We are thinking in using C# java or anyhing to try another way. Also we are considering to buy more epson fx-890 and do nothing more. But we don't know if is a fx-890 feature or just an error of the printer.
