Can I user Dot Matrix Printer under UTF8 character set ?

Hi,
We are using UTF8 character set. Somebody told me that I can only use the postscript printer. Is it necessary to set up a report server if I need to print on dot-matrix printer? Any workaround solution?
Thanks and regards
Toby

Your printer emulation and the SAP device type for the output device must match.
For example, if you use IBM Proprinter emulation, then use device type IBM4232.
If you use Epson emulation, then you may have a look at note 1135053.
What are your emulation and device type?

  • Can I use a old dot matrix printer with my mac

    I want to add a old Panasonic KX-P2023 and use it as my printer. I have a mac osx 10.7.5 is this possible??

    If you are successful finding an OS X driver for it, you ought to be able to use this cable to connect it to your iMac:
    http://www.iogear.com/product/GUC1284B/
    I have successfully used that cable to print with every OS X version through Mountain Lion. It works with all other parallel printers I have tried including HP, Epson, and Apple, but I don't have your model Panasonic. When connected, the printer appears in Print & Scan as "ATEN UC-1284B Printer Cable".
    I think the driver may be your biggest challenge. There may be compatible drivers from other manufacturers so don't limit your search to Panasonic. Search for an OS X driver for a similar dot matrix printer - consider C. Itoh, Epson, Okidata, or Ricoh. If you find a generic driver use it. Some printers were simply rebranded models manufactured by others. I don't know about your Panasonic though.

    There is something I don't understand: if the barcode printed is visually correct, and exactly the same as with a laser printer, why do you want it would be better with a PDF (especially on a dot matrix printer).
    Could you also tell us what symbology you use, and do you use smart form new barcode technology?

  • Web report printed on a dot matrix printer

    Dear all,
    how can i design a report that is going to be printed on a dot matrix printer, i want to know these things:
    1 - what i will have to change in the report it self.
    2 - when i call the report from the form how the code will be.
    3 - do i have to print the report on the browser then the user press print from the file menu of the browser.
    please advice

    1 - what i will have to change in the report it self.Since you will be printing to a dot matrix printer, you essentially need to design a character mode report and set the .prt file for printing purpose. Check in online help for how to make a character mode report.
    2 - when i call the report from the form how the code >will be.On the otn site itself, you can find a white paper on reports 9i/forms integration. Please refer to this white paper on the example code.
    3 - do i have to print the report on the browser then >the user press print from the file menu of the browser.You do not need to print the report from browser window and can directly tell the report to print the character mode output using your dot matrix printer. The command line you send from Forms will have destype=printer and desformat=<.prt file name>
    Thanks

    Hi Raje,
    Try to take the print in inkjet or laserjet printer
    just for confirmation purpose .
    if it prints in that and  doesn't print in dot matrix then the problem is with the dot matrix.
    In that case ask the basis guys to install the relevent device driver for that dot matrix printer( as normally they would have installed some generic driver ).
    Hope this helps.

  • Print to Dot-Matrix-Printer

    Hi,
    My actual job is to create an Report in Oracle Reports 10, running on an IBM AIX Unix Server and direct the output to an Dot-Matrix Printer.
    The Report is ready for Preview.
    What Parameter should be set as Report_DesFormat for that Dot-Matrix Printer?
    I found only the list HTML, HTMLCSS, PDF, RTF, POSTSCRIPT, XML but the Printer can not unterstand any of these formats.
    Thanks for any help
    Rolf Mamat

    Hi.
    Using one of graphical destination format can lead to unexpected results. What you should do is to configure your printer at the system OS level. Then you should include that printer into $ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/uiprint.txt file. The line you add to this file should be read as printer_name_you_specified_at_os_level:ASCII:1:some_comment:: For example :
    my_dot_printer:ASCII:Testing printer::
    Be aware of two colons at the end of the line.
    For a destination format you should use one of predefined formats (dflt, wide, ...) or you can make your own format file which should be stored in $ORACLE_HOME/reports/printers directory. And dont forget to define your report design in character units.
    Hope this answers your question.
    Best regards.

  • Problem with countinuous paper printing in dot matrix printer

      I have problem with dot matrix printer (Devise Type EPESCP) while printing continuos printing. If  i am printing 2 or more than that prints at a time, 2nd page is printing 5 lines up.

    Hi 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.
    Regards,
    Aidan

  • Sales invoice Smartform printing in dot matrix printer in sucession

    Dear all,
    I am trying to Print Sales invoice on Dot matrix Printer.
    My First Invoice is printed ok, but if i try to print second invoice without manually adjusting the paper the alignment on printer goes haywiered.
    Do we have some option in smartform where we can trigger new page command.
    Regards,
    Gaurav Sood

    Hi Amiya,
    you need to check the paperformat which is used. I'm pretty sure that there is a wrong paperformat selected. The supported paperformats are published in the official documentation of the printer-model.

  • 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.
    Han

    Looking 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.

    Draft mode is not by font.  It is a specific printer mode.  If you can not manually setup the mode, B1 may not have any abilities to print in this mode.

  • Labels printed in Dot Matrix Printer

    Hi Experts,
        I am new to the label creation.
    I need to create a new label which will be printed using a Epson Dot matrix printer.
    I got an idea how to do it in zebra printing. But still I am wondering how it can be done for a dot matrix.
    Whether it is same like zebra programming or dot matrix do have some other coding language to display the label?
    Could you please explain me on this?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Arun.

    hi,
    there is a huge difference between a standard dot matrix printer and a zebra printer.
    a zebra printer mworks with ZPL II commands. All other printer works otherwise.
    However. If you use smartforms the code in the smartform is converted to ZPL|| automatically. ( I think you can see it in the spool but i am not sure)
    If you use sapscript you have to code the ZPLII yourself.
    On an other printer you can work with normal commands. You have only to take care that the printer has a porper driver. Ad fthe form has the proper pagelayout.
    This will do.

  • 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 java

    You 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.
