When you define a new form or "other" type of paper, one of the things you
tell it is whether it is single sheets or continuous forms.  I don't
remember the actual key stroke sequence.  For "other" forms I suspect it
defaults to single sheets rather than continuous.  Try changing the form
definition to continuous and see if that gets rid of your problem.  The
beep and the need to type "G" is in anticipation of your feeding a new
sheet of paper into the printer.  This will also vary somewhat depending
on the kind of printer you have defined.
