Printed page shifted in the log file with graphic machines and printer EPSON LQ300

QUESTION:
What are the configurations I have to choose so that the printed page in the log file will be printed correctly with a graphic device and the printer EPSON LQ300?

ANSWER:
When logging with a graphic device and printer EPSON LQ300 the "printpage" will be set ahead for approx. 1 Line. After approx. 15 pages the printout starts in the page center if endlesspaper is used.

Remedy:
In ProTool the following setup should be used:

Under Targetsystem > Printer > Setup please choose: Choose Printer > duplicate.
Enter a name for the printer and select the button "Parameter".
In the Parameter of the new printer please add the following string during basic initialisation.:
,1bh,28h,55h,01h,00h,0ah,1bh,28h,43h,02h,00h,e0h,10h

This results in a setting for a paperlenght of 12"
