Automatic Form Feed - Epson LQ - 2180 printer to R12 in Solaris Environment

Hi
We are adding a new Epson dot matrix [ Impact] Printer to our system. [Epson LQ - 2180]
Server OS: Sun OS sun4v sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T5120
R12 Version: 12.1.3
This is a network printer. This has been added to the printer server via root. We have configured the Printer in the Front end also via Install -=-> Printer in System Administrator REsponsibility.
Our goal is to print three programs serially one after the other at a time. The paper input feed is continuous sheet.
When we print from normal windows applications like notepad and MS-word, the page feed / form feed automatically gets set after each request. So that each request gets started in a New page. But this is not the case when we try to do the same from EBS.
Is there any special setting / value that we need to set in the Printer Drivers like Arguments, Initialization and reset.
We referred the printer manual but could not find any specific command or value to be set for Solaris.
Your help is very much appreciated.
thanks

  • How to suppress extra form feed for character report printing using ORARRP?

    Dear All,
    We are using Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.2.0.2) on Windows 2003 Server and most of our client PC's are Windows XP Professional machines. We are migrating our existing oracle application from 2-tier architecture to 3-tier architecture (6i to 10g). We have installed ORARRP utility for remote direct printing and to a limited extent we are successfull in getting the things work out for our system users, However, we are facing a problem using the ORARRP utility for which we are not able to find a solution till date.
    We have configured ORARRP utility on every user's PC and the printing of bitmap reports is working well. However, while printing CHARACTER reports using ORARRP utility, after the report gets printed, an EXTRA FORM FEED is issued by ORARRP to the printer and because of this the printer stationary skips one extra page and advances to the next page. Please note that this EXTRA FORM FEED happens only while printing a CHARACTER REPORT.
    Has anyone come across such a problem using ORARRP ? How can we avoid this extra FORM FEED from CHARACTER REPORT printing using ORARRP ? Is there any other tool which supports remote direct printing just like ORARRP?
    I shall be highly obliged if anyone could reply to my queries ASAP.
    Regards,
    KrishnaKumar S

    Please help ! I tried the "send_form_feed" and "postscript_dos_print" parameters without success. The extra form feed is always there. Thanks.

  • Trouble locating and using the automatic document feeder in HP M1522nf printer

    I have HP M1522nf and simply want to know how to use the automatic tray. When I set a label in the tray, the printer still copies from the paper tray below and doesn't use the paper tray.

    I have the same problem.  Did you get a resolution?

  • HP P1606dn network printer spools jobs but won't print without a "form feed"

    I recently changed by HP P1606dn printer from a USB connection to my HP desktop running Windows 7 (64bit) to a network connection.  The objective was to allow my Mac (OS 10.6.8) to print to this printers as well via the network. 
    When I first installed the printer it worked fine.  Then I installed the HP drivers on the Mac, and it too worked fine and continues to work fine.  However, my Windows 8 desktop stopped printing.  It appears to spool the print jobs correctly and they show up in the queue as actively printing.  However, the only way to get them out is to go over to the printer and press the "form feed" button (button showing page with down arrow).  Then the HP test page will come out followed by the desired print job.
    I've tried disabling "bi-directional support" in the "ports" tab under "printer properties" but that did not help.
    Any helpful advice appreciated!

    Did you connect the USB cable when doing the firmware update?

  • Printing via Airport Express:  Missing Final Form Feed

    Maybe a guru could help with this one...
    Spooling a print job from an iMac G5 to an HP Photosmart 7150 that is connected to the Airport Express USB port...
    The job prints fine but I don't get a FINAL FORMFEED after the last page has printed. I have to manually eject...
    The iMac has the latest OS Update (10.4.2) and all the drivers for system software (including Airport 4.2 for Mac OS X 10.4.2). The printer driver is from HP's support site - version 2.5.6 (August 2005) for Mac OX X v10.2, 10.3 & 10.4.
    Note: the printer works fine (final form feed & all) when you have it attached directly to the iMac.

    Hi Ian and welcome to the Discussions.
    According to HP the PhotoSmart 7150 is not compatible with the Airport base station, which implies that it will not work across a network when connected to an Airport Express as it would when directly connected.
    It may work as you want with a third-party driver such as the HPIJS drivers and the process outlined here: http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1300.html

  • Filter print job - remove form feed

    I've configured an iPrint printer to accept LPR print jobs. One of our old
    programs always starts each print job with a page eject (form feed).
    Is there a simple way to intercept the print stream and if it starts with a
    page eject, remove or null it that byte?

  • Print form feed \f escape sequence in labview 7.0

    I have a large string that I am trying to print that contains a form feed (\f) as defined in the LabView documentaiton. What I get is a little square where the \f should be and no new page. What am I doing wrong?
    Steve

    Hey Steve,
    To where are you trying to print your string? LV front panel string control?....or to some external device?
    I would check and make sure your string controls/indicators are in code/normal mode. You can do this by right-clicking on the control/indicator...(codes and normal are two of the options)
    Set in codes mode for the \f to be interpreted as a form feed. On the other end, normal mode, should perform the form feed.
    Let me know if this helps/works,
    Brett

  • Which multifunction Laser printer (MFP) for Lion? - need multipage scanning through automatic document feeder

    Hi all,
    I'd love to get your advice on what MFP laser printer to buy.
    I need:
    - Laser color PRINTING for a small business (+/- 1500 pages per month)
    - SCANNING, preferably easy multipage scanning through the automatic document feeder
    Optionally:
    - 2nd paper feed tray
    I think of buying the HP Color LaserJet CM2320fxi, but there seem to be plenty of compatibility issues with Lion (e.g. scan to network folder does not work on Lion).
    I'd love to hear about success or failure of MFP on Lion from HP, Brother, Xerox, Lexmark, etc...
    Thx for your advace,
    S.

    I can recommend the Canon MF8380C. It has a document feeder that supports duplex scanning to Lion, either via Image Capture or Preview or 3rd party application like Acrobat Pro. You can also push scan documents from the machine by first configuring the scan settings using the Canon MF Toolbox that gets installed on the Mac.
    The print quality is good for office documents, but not that accurate for colour proofing. It uses Canon's proprietary UFR2 v2.30 driver of which the Lion version of this driver is available from the Canon web.
    As for the monthly volume, 1500 pages per month is the maximum recommended volume, so not sure if this would suit your business needs. It's recommended monthly volume is 800 colour pages.

    1535606 - Printer preference setting for the Crystal Layouts
    Symptom
    Print Crystal Report layout does not consider Business One (B1) printer preferences changed by user before printing.
    In order to enable B1 to make print preferences changes in application the Crystal Report Layout must have ticked off the "Dissociate Formatting page Size and Printer Paper Size" option in page setup.
    The following preferences are enabled for the Crystal Reports Layouts:
    1. Orientation: "Portrait" or "Landscape".
    Note! In case the report is too wide to fit on rotated page, error message is returned.
    2. Document Options: Duplex printing (Print on both sides).
    3. Paper Options: Paper size.
    Note! The options Custom Size will not be considered by B1.
    Note! In case it is not possible to print on some paper size error message is returned.
    4. Paper/Quality: Print Quality/Printer Resolution, Paper Source.
    5. Color Options.
    Note! Crystal does not resize the report to fit the selected paper or format.
    Cause

  • Problem to print pdf-based forms using Epson printer

    Hello,
    I need print pdf-based forms using an EPSON FX 2190 printer.
    In The sap note 685571 I read that can print PDF-based forms on all printers installed in the SAP system as long as the relevant XDC file exists.
    I do not found XDC file to EPSON device type, a Epson fx 2190 do not support postscript.
    Can I use this printer to pdf-based forms?
    I need that spool request (pdf) have a output immediately on EPSON printer.
    thanks in advanced for your cooperation to solve it.
    Osmany

    I don't think Epson has developed an XDC for ESC/P language. That would be very difficult/long to develop an XDC from scratch. Best solution is to install a new printer. Otherwise you may either use a Printer Description Language converter (PS to ESC/P, or other ones), it probably exists, or call acrord32 in print mode on a Windows frontend or server.

  • Printing problems when using automatic document feeder (HP Photosmart 309C)

    When I print using the normal paper trays, everything comes out fine.  However, when I feed a document through the automatic document feeder, it comes out with four vertical lines running down the page.  I have tried cleaning the rollers, but that has not worked.  Anyone have any ideas/solutions?  Thanks in advance, Jack.

    I see that this post was made in June of 2010, but there was no reply. I found the solution elsewhere:
    Lift the scanner lid. You will see the main glass and a small glass about the width of a ruler. There are a couple of dots of debris on that small glass. Line up the lines to find them and clean with a bit of glass cleaner on a rag or napkin. The reason a small dot makes a line is the paper passes by the scanner with adf rather than the scanner passing by the paper on flatbed scans.

  • Please explain me how I can use Form feed(\f) and Carriage return(\r)

    what is Form feed(\f) and Carriage return(\r)?
    Please explain to me.
    Thank you.

    These control characters aren't used much these days except that if you example a Windows or MSDOS text file in a binary editor you'll find each line ends with "\r\n". However when reading or writing text through classes these carriage returns will be added and removed automatically so your program doesn't see them.
    The controlls date back to teletype machines which operated rather like typewriters. Cariage return, as it's name implied, caused the print head to move back to the start of the line, line feed advanced a line (without, necessarilly, returning the carriage) and formfeed skipped to the next page.
    Newline on these machines was always "return, linefeed" because executing the carriage return on these machine could take too long. The early machines had only a single character buffer so that they had to executed the characters as quickly as they arrived. So doing the linefeed after the carriage return gave the carriage more time to return. On some teletypes if you did "linefeed, return" then the first character of the new line would often be printed somewhere in the middle of the line.
    This is the origin of the MSDOS/Windows end of line sequence.
    Many printers will still respect formfeed if printing is direct. Some will take carriage return without linefeed to allow you to start again overprinting the same line.
    However printing, these days, is seldom direct but done in bitmap form.

  • How to hide the Form Feed char in JTextArea

    We have reports (written in C) that are being displayed in a JTextArea.
    In our old app, the Form Feed character (ASCII 12) was invisible naturally without having to code around it. In a JTextArea, it appears as a "[]" character. Does anyone know how to make this character invisible to the JTextArea? Removing it is not an option, as it is needed for it's print routine.
    I've been searching these forums and the web all morning with no luck.

    Not sure how the Form Feed character worksIt lets the printer know that a new page is to be started at that point.
    Does it always appear with the New Line character?Usually but not always.
    Thanks for the reply. It's more involved than just printing standard lines of text, so perhaps I should have been more clear.
    The C report already has pagination built in from when it was run from our legacy GUI. In other words, each report knows how many chars wide and how many lines down each page will be. It is different for each report, but they all hover around 150 chars wide and 60 lines down per page, since they are all presented to the user (and printed) in landscape.
    In the C code: at the end of each report line a "\n" is appended. At the end of each page, an ASCII 12 character is appended. A header is at the top of each page (different for each report, but usually 2 or 3 lines) that shows the page # and other info.
    So, as you are viewing the report, you would see page 1 header, some report content, page 2 header, some more report content, page 3 header, etc. as you scroll down.
    So now if you view it in Java: if the user wishes to print, the report is sent to our ReportPrinter class, who tokenizes the report based on "\f" and makes a ReportPage object (implements Printable) for each token. Each ReportPage is then appened to a java.awt.print.Book object, who in turn is sent to the PrinterJob.
    Given that the report already has his pages figured out and has a form feed char at the end of each page, the report comes in to the JTextArea with [] chars preceding each page header (approximately every 60th line, depending on the report).
    I tried using a JTextPane, but no luck. It was also much slower reading in the report. I just want the textpane to not display the non-printable characters ("\f" in this case).
