VFP 6.0 and Monarch printer with "on demand" feed mode

I have a large FPW26 application that calls a small VFP6 exe that I created.
The VFP exe is used to direct a VFP label to a Monarch 9830 printer. (I have gone this way as I'm printing to a laser printer and the label printer at the same time, and couldn't get printer direction working under FPW26 with Win NT)

When pressing the feed button on the printer, I can successfully get the labels to print in the "on demand" feed mode, so that the label presents itself for a user to peel.

When the label is squirted to the printer via the VFP exe, the feed mode becomes "continuous" rather than "on demand".

Any ideas if it is possible to change my VFP exe to allow the printer to be in "on demand" rather than "continuous" mode when the label is directed to the printer ?
