When printing to the Windows printer in TinyTERM 4.x, the Page Setup dialog comes up for every print job. In TinyTERM 4.13 this was changed so that the Page Setup dialog only came up once, the first time you used a given printer in TinyTERM. To make changes between print jobs, you must go to the File menu and select Page setup.

TinyTERM 4.30 added a check box labeled Page Setup Every Print. If that is not checked, then the Page Setup dialog comes up only the first time a print job is sent to the selected printer. With that option checked, every print job produces a Page Setup dialog. This is helpful when each printout has separate requirements.

However, if you have Bypass Printer Drivers set, you can’t turn off Page Setup Every Print. The check box is checked, and the option is grayed out. This was fixed in TinyTERM 4.40.

If you have TinyTERM configured to print directly to a COM port, you will also get the Page Setup dialog regardless of other settings. The workaround for this is to configure a Windows printer on that COM port, then print to that Windows printer and bypass the printer drivers.
