[Koha] Problem printing notices with Panda FK-80

We are having an issue when printing notices (e.g., checkout notice) on our
thermal paper printer (Panda FK-80) on Windows OS.

The problem is that the printer* ejects a full 200-230 mm of paper BEFORE
printing the notice. *In other words, the printer ejects a full page before
beginning to print.

As you might imagine, this wastes a lot of paper and is very annoying.

Here are what I have determined:

   - When the notice is  *initially displayed* on the screen with the print
   menu, it appears correctly
   - When we do a *print preview *with the appropriate print driver
   selected it appears correctly
   - When we use the printer to print from *another application* (e.g., MS
   Word), it does not eject a full page before printing. From this I conclude
   that the *problem is not with the printer or printer driver, but from
   Koha.*

I have concluded that something in Koha is sending a new page command
before the print begins.

Is there* CSS which is controlling thi*s? Where would I look for the
relevant CSS?

Thanks in advance for your help
