Configure TinyTERM’s transparent printing option to spool the print job. Whether set to Print on Key Press or Print on Timeout, a printout that takes a long time to generate will put extra form feeds into the print job. This happens regardless of the timeout value as well.

TinyTERM works as designed in this instance. Applications that take an arbitrarily high amount of time to generate a printout will have natural breaks in the data flow. If the break is long enough, which depends on the timeout value set or the time before key press, TinyTERM will release the print job as it should. The workaround is to print on timeout, with a timeout value equal to or greater than the job creation time. This is typically 60 seconds or more.
