Draft mode report printing

Pl. help us, urgent....
We are developing report in Dev 2000 Reports Builder 3.0.4.6.3 on Windows 98 node.
Our client's requirement is to print the reports on High Speed Dot Matrix Printer at every
workstation place in Draft 10 Cpi font.
I have tried setting Font of all layout components with (Draft 10 Cpi, Regular, 10). The result I have got on Wipro LQ 1050+ Dot Matrix printer is -- it is printing in draft mode but the printer head was tremendously twisting especially while printing the digits.
Later I have tried with setting MODE=character DESTYPE=PREVIEW. The output of preview geting trailed for each line and words. The same result is coming wile printing at this setting.
What should be right way of designing the layout of the reports and setting the required
preferences/properties, to achieve that.
This is very urgent, pl. reply as soon as possible. We are expecting yours
valuable suggestion.

Just a first point, Reports 3.0 has been desupported, so you may want to look to upgrade.
That said, it sounds to me like you just need character mode output. The first thing that I would do would be to run to file with mode=character set, then send this file directly to the printer to see if you get the same results.
If you do then you should take a look at the documentation on prt files, and your printer manual to make sure that the prt file you're using includes the correct printer escape sequences to set the printer up in the way you require (the right font, etc.) Note that this won't work for bitmapped reports.
Hope this helps,
Danny

Character Mode Report Print in Developer 6i

How i can create character mode reports for efficeint printing on dot matrix printers. I m not asking about the Character Mode Template(in the report wizard). And how i can convert the existing reports to Character Mode.
I am using Reports 6i.

Please post this question in the Rpeorts forum: Reports

Character mode report printing

hi everyone,
When I am running report in character mode, it is working fine in previewer. But as soon as I am giving the printing from there, it is giving Rbe ERROR dialog box and runform is getting hanged. How can I get report printed directly from previewer in character mode report generation.
On the other hand if i redirect o/p to a file by making destination type file, then I am able to take to print of file. If any have a solution, please reply ASAP.
Thanking every one
Ashish

Hi Ashish,
It is not clear from your question about the type of error message you are getting.
Please meake sure that the report is indeed a character mode report.
Please verify the following for that:
1. The mode in system parameters is defaulted to
'caracter'
2. In the property palette of the report, the "design in character units" should be marked as yes.
Please ensure that above points and try printing again.
thanks

CP1518ni - no draft mode for printing color?

I am trying to print a color PDF flyer. I want to print low quality color flyers that dont use a lot of ink and print quickly. I have windows vista. Under properties thepaper quality tab the only option under print quality is 'imageREt3600' Right below is another drop down HP real life technologies with three options 'RLT photo fix "off"', the other two are basic photo fix and full photo fix.
Yesterday I thought I had it figured out. I went to the color tab and clicked on the drop down box Color themes RGB color and put none. (the other options are default, vivid, photo, and adobe rgb 1998. I played around with some other things - dont remember and thought that the papers were printing out fast. I ran out of ink and bought more today. Now the pages are printing out slowly one at a time.
Help.

Today eprint does not support fastdraft mode printing via email. If you want to save ink you can print in GREYSCALE mode by setting the color attribute in the eprintcenter portal.

Web Application- Printing in draft mode

From JSP, I need to print a document in draft mode to local machine. I used the below code for doing the same. The report is getting printed to the server machine. I want the report to be printed in client machine (i.e if the printed is attached to client machine, report should get printed else message should be given as no printer attached).
InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();
DocFlavor myFormat = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE;
Doc myDoc = new SimpleDoc(is, myFormat, null);
PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
aset.add(new Copies(1));
aset.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);
PrintService services = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
System.out.println("services" + services.getName());
DocPrintJob job = services.createPrintJob();
job.print(myDoc, aset);

JSP code executes on the server, not the client. It is meant for dynamically generating HTML pages based on code it executes on the server side. You are not using the right technology for your goal.

Hi,
This sounds like a similar problem that I had (and still having). It was (is) a Bug. Go to metalink.oracle.com and reference this bug#1413754. See if this is your problem as well. My only work around was change the format of the file instead of using character mode I am now using PDF. Which is working fine for me.

How do I print in draft mode on Epson Workforce 3540

I just bought and set up an Epson Workforce all in one printer. Everything is working fine, except that I can't get it to print in draft mode.
I've tried a few different applications and all are the same. When I go to print, I get a window that includes a print quality slider at the bottom that includes three settings: draft, normal, and best. The word "draft" is grayed-out. If I try to drag the slider to it, it snaps back to normal in the middle.
I looked in the printer's manual, and it says draft mode can only be selected with "plain paper" selected. But, even when I have plain paper selected, I cannot choose draft quality. In fact, it seems no matter what I try I cannot choose draft quality.
The printer's owner's manual, it also shows some printer dialog windows that I don't get (I think I did get them with the Epson I just replaced, though).
Can anyone tell me how I can select draft print quality, and why I'm having so many problems doing so? Maybe it's to be expected that the Epson isn't letting me select the print mode quality that would save me the most ink.
I'm attaching a screen capture of what I see when I try to print. It is the first image.
I'm also attaching a couple of screen captures from the printer's owner's manual section on Mac printing. These are the printer dialog windows I don't see when I try to print.
What I see when I try to print (note that "Draft" is grayed-out on the quality slider):
These are what the printer's manual seems to suggest I should see (and what I think I did see with my last Epson printer that I just replaced):
And:

Based on your screen captures I believe you may have selected Apple's AirPrint driver rather than the Epson driver. This can happen if you add the printer by selecting it from the small pop-up window that appears with a heading of Nearby Printers after you click the plus button in the Print & Scan preference pane.
To confirm which printer driver you are using, open the Print & Scan preference pane and select the Epson in the Printers colum. The right pane will give some details about the printer. If there is mention of AirPrint in the printer Name or Kind, then this will be the issue. The fix would be to remove this printer from Print & Scan and add again. But this time, don't select the Epson from the Nearby Printers pop-up. Instead, click on Add Printer Or Scanner from this pop-up window and from the next Default Add printer window, select the Epson in the list and ensure you select the Epson driver in the Use menu rather than the AirPrint driver.

Wrong colors when printing PDF in Draft Mode Printing (Win)

I am using Acrobat to print my contact sheets from the Print module (Windows). If I use the "Draft Mode Printing" in LR, colors in the resulting PDF are way off. Any idea what the settings in Acrobat should be, to obtain correct colors? I have tried many combinations in the "Adobe PDF Conversion Settings", especially in the "Color" tab, but with no success.
Note that colors in the resulting PDF are correct instead when I disable the "Draft Mode Printing" from LR.

No I did not build 1:1 previews first. The point of using the draft print is to me to do quick, so would rather not build any 1:1 preview. Anyway, I don't believe I got what you wrote: if I do not build the 1:1 preview, what is the color space of the print output in Draft Mode?

How to print in draft mode on laserjetpro CM1415fnw color printer.

Hi, i have a laserjetpro CM1415fnw color printer, how do i print in draft mode to save my black ink?

Hi REMAX2011,
The only other option I can see which might do what you are looking for is on the Services tab.
1. Printer Properties
2. Services tab
3. Device services, and then click on Device and Supplies Status
4. Click the System tab
5. Click on Print Density
6. Adjust Black density till you get what you are looking for.

Printing Character Mode Report On Oracle 9i AS - Application Server

Hi All,
Even though I have put this problem in Reports Forum,
I thought it fit to put forward this problem in Forms Forum
since Forms Forum is being accessed by a large number
of developers across the world.
Now the problem :
I have developed a report in Character mode that runs in
hundreds of pages. The output will be taken on High speed
Dot Matrix Printer since the client requirement is fast printing
& economical printing. That is the reason to develop this report
in Character mode & not Bitmap mode. This report works
fine in Client-Server environment.
However, the problem lies in the Web Server environment.
The same reports will be run on Oracle 9i AS. Since the
browser supports only HTML & PDF format, Character
mode reports faces a major problem.
Can anybody help me to resolve this problem ??
I would like to remind you again that the constraint is NOT
TO USE LASER PRINTERS.
Thanks.

Hello,
I am working with Reports 6i. i have developed one Character mode report. This report is working and printing fine in Windows 2000 Server (English Version). But, this report is not working properly in Windows 2000 Professional (Traditional Chinese Version) where i have compiled report in Chinese Version Machine. And, i am getting the Preview properly.

Try printing to file first and ensure that the output is correct in something like "notepad" with the appropriate font.

Tanikella,
The escape codes might be different for different printers. You might need to check with the printer documentation and use that appropriately in the deflt.prt file of reports or the .prt file you use in desformat
