Hi there!

This form feed is not an apsfilter thing -- ghostscript does this after
each print job.

I suppose directly printing the text files doesn't work, right?
(b5 looks like Chinese Big5 encoding stuff...)

The only workaround I see is to concatenate several text files before you
convert them to use one sheet for more than one file.
