Printing problem in Dot matrix printer
Hi all,
We are planning to use Dot matrix printers for printing through SAP.We do front end printing using Windows OS. I am able to get prints properly if it is a script form. In case of list outputs, printer is printing the text outside the paper.Only half of the text is printing on the continuous stationary. Actually document is to be printed in Landscape format. So printer should print data vertically on the paper,but it's printing horizontally. I have created sparate output device for this printer.My printer is TVS Electronics HD745 24 Pin heavy duty printer. I have assigned OKI341 as device type for this device.Any more settings I need to do to get printing in landscape mode?Hi,

Trying to print to a OKI Microline 520 dot matrix printer in 10.6
I'm trying to print to the OKI microline 520 dot matrix printer. I'm running 10.6.2 Snow Leopard and I have a USB to Parallel adapter connected between the Mac and the printer.
The Mac can recognize the printer as a USB printer but I'm having problems finding a driver.
I followed the suggestions in the following thread for Tiger but I couldn't find an OpenPrinting driver for the ML520 and the Okidata-MicrolineIBM_compatible_9pin driver didn't work.
The OKI Microline 182 Foomatic/oki182 driver was close, it printed everything really bold and had a strikethrough font.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1485588
Any suggestions on other sources for drivers?Doesn't look like Oki is working on Snow Leopard compatibility for your old printer ...

Can any one help me.
Thanks,
VishnuHi Vishnu,
Above you have the following commands:
set line spacing 6 LPI
\e\0x32
set page length 86 lines
\e\0x43\0x46
46 HEX = 70
So the above settings mean 70 lines at 6 LPI = 11.66 inches.
So is the paper length 11.66 inches? If not, you should adjust the settings accordingly.

Hello friends
In a particular application, it is required to print a single line of data on a dot matrix printer (continuous sheets) at a frequency of 30 seconds. That is printing is to be carried out line-by-line on the same form without a form feed.
We are facing a problem of a form feed after printing of each line. Kindly help me to solve this problem of auto form-feed. How to continuously print at a regular interval without from-feeding.
Shahid BaigIs this printer connected to a network?
You may need to look at the printer manual to see if there is a setting for a form feed. I remember when we had a dot matrix printer on the network about 12 years ago, there would be a network timeout setting of something like 30 seconds. So if you didn't continue to send data, the network will end the print job and send the file to the printer which would auto form feed at the end. Many of our basic programs had to be rewritten because they would do an LPRINT periodically, if you took along time progressing through the inputs, you would easily hit the 30 second timeout. So all the programs had to be rewritten to save the data to be printed to a file, and only once you execute a print command, it would read the file back in and Lprint it (or a Print#1) to the LPT port.
Since the printer was on the network, and basic could only print to LPT's, we had to use a net command to capture the LPT1 port and direct it to the network queue.
I don't remember all the details, but those are the bits and pieces I do remember. I think the answer to your problem lies in there somewhere.
Namely:
1. Printer setting to auto form feed.
2. Network setting that closes print job after timeout period. -

If things are coming properly then its no more ABAP issue.
Need to check out with the BASIS team along with the IT / hardware department.
Just try to take print out on a other dotmatrix printer, if its somewhere close to you as usually they are heavy and large in size can't be moved.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,

Have you customized PLD according to paper size ?
Check whether you customized fields in start of report area ? If yes then it will be printed
only on first page.
Check for printer supported by B1 in below link

Printing to dot matrix printer using continuous sheets
Hi;
Can anybody help me;
We have a web-based application.We have developed it with java and jsp. We want to print out several bills to continuous sheet.We are doing printing out with internet explorer and getting first page arranged but the following pages are sliding down.
Is there any way to print out to continuos sheet with dot matrix printer through javaYou mean you want the browser to do that? Frankly I don't think you are likely to succeed, but possibly using CSS (with an "@media print" section) might work. Specify fonts, font sizes, try to control everything that can be controlled through CSS. Note that this has nothing to do with Java.

Problem in Smartform Table/window Line Using Dot Matrix Printer
Dear Experts,
I faced issue in printing smartform using dot matrix printer. In the print result, the table line (horizontal and vertical) is not printed. I already search the forum but none can solve my issue. I already changed the table line width into 30 or 40 TW but still not work. Everything is OK in the print result, except the table line.
If i manually print/write '__' (underscore), it appear in the print result, but to write horizontal line and vertical line manually in the smartform will be huge effort.
I used device type EPESCP9 for the output device.
Can you tell me what i need to do?
your help will be appreciated.
ThanksHi,
Check your device type.

SAPSCRIPT problem in printing on Dot Matrix Printer
Hi!
I have a SAPSCRIPT Form with page format INCH12. The SAPSCRIPT output is displayed properly in print preview. But when it is sent for printing on the Dot matrix printer the first three lines of the second page are printed on the first page at the bottom. Paper size is also 12INCH. I tried adjusting all the windows and putting blank lines. I also gave /: NEW-PAGE command. But it did not solve the problem.
I am not able to identify where exactly the problem is? Is it in the SAPSCRIPT or in printer settings.
If anyone had faced similar problem and was able to solve it then please reply.Hi
if it is possible try to print the same in another printer and confirm the problem
no doubt certain printers may create such problems while printing the output
so to confirm the problem try with other printer.

Reg: Dot Matrix Printer Settings problem
hello all,
The problem is with the Character format of Dot matrix printer, the printer is unable to print any graphical line. The line can be seen in print preview but in the actual printout the line is not printed. When the same O/P is printed through normal mode of dot matrix printer it is getting printed in the print out.
The client want all the Invoices to get printed in this format as it requires least usage of ink.

Problem with custom paper size on dot matrix printer
Hi All,
I'm using CR2008 with updated to SP2. I have a problem with custom paper size (W=21; H=14), the CR Viewer show report with custom paper size correctly but when I print it to a dot matrix printer (Epson LQ 300+) the content was rotated to landscape. If print to a laser printer the content was printed correctly. My report was printed correctly by CR10 or previous versions I got this issue when upgraded to CR2008. I aslo tested my computer and printer with orther application like MS Word the printing have no problem with custom paper size.
Thanks for any advice for me.
HanLooking at the Epson LQ 300+ driver, I see that the latest update is from 2002. In my experience, most matrix printer drivers are not unicode. Crystal Reports is designed to only work with unicode printer drivers. See the [How Printer Driver Options Affect a Report|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/a09051e9-721e-2b10-11b6-f9c65c64ef29&overridelayout=true] article, page 6 for details. Also, see [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_dev/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes.do] note.
Finally, see if you can print from the CR designer to this printer and if you get the correct results here.

Problem printing on dot-matrix printer with continuous paper
Post Author: kdebruyckere
CA Forum: .NET
Hi,
We're currently developping an .net application for a customer of ours in VS2005 (c#). I used crystal reports for VS2005 to create an invoice.
The invoices have to be printed on a dot-matrix printer with continuous paper (Brother M-4318). When an invoice is only one page long, there's no problem. Even when printing several sigle-page invoices after another, all goes fine. The problem occurs when an invoice is more then one page longe. The first page comes out correctly, but on the following pages everything moves ca. 3 mm upwards (3 mm on the second page, 6 mm on the third page, and so on...). On the report 'Design > Printer Setup', I selected the right printer, the right paper size, ... On the report there's a page header (consisting of two sections), and there's a page footer that is only printed on the last page, but there are no report header and no report footer.
I can not figure out what seems to be the problem. Has anyone else had this or a similar problem before? If so, please let me know. Any suggestions are welcome.

Problems to print from Flex to a dot matrix printer
I'm having problems when a try to print from Flex in a dot
matrix printer. With ink jet printer there's no problem-
the problem is that it shrinks the printing, and adds a
column of dots at the end. I mean it splits the page in 2, first
the shrinked data, and on the other side, a column of dots, i don't
know if this is a problem between Flex and dot matrix
