    The logic for the print form feed was not taking into
    account that when a floating form that had a blank first
    line, was already positioned at line 1. This caused the
    number of lines to be skipped to be incorrect. Refer to
    PQ77279 for more information.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The software has been updated to check for this condition. A
    fixtest for 851x systems is available.
