How to stop auto from-feed on a dot matrix printer for printing only a single line of data at a frequency of 30 seconds

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.

Is 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.

Smartform printing on Dot Matrix printer for continuous stationery

Hi Friends,
I'm throwing my smartform print output on printer using local printer .Now the problem is as i have designed the SF using A4 page size , the output on Dot matrix is my output (WHICH IS 1/3rd OF a PAGE) + rest of empty space which is actually wasting pages.
Settings in SPAD are as follows:
Output device : Lp01
Device type : SWIN
and page format : LINE_21
Format Type : LINE_21
What i want is a restricted output .please let me know the possible solutions and do i need to load the driver for my printer in SAP as well (Printer is : wipro WEP 800 DX)
Thanks and Regards,
Sachin Soni

Hi,
Change the page settings in the form
-> under the form attributes you can find the page format there you can set up your required format
Thanks,
Nethaji.

Dot Matrix Printer for OSX

What Dot Matrix printers are supported in OSX? Any OkiData's or Epsons? Thanks

No others included in OS X that I know of. I understand that problem with the included drivers (You find them under ESP instead of Epson) is that they don't reset correctly to the top of the form - so printing labels probably doesn't work. You should try it for yourself.

Smartforms Printing not coming properly in dot matrix printer

Hi Gurus,
We have implemented invoice printout using smartforms and required to use the dot matrix printer for printing.
We are now facing the problem on the printout from dot matrix is different from the preview we get in the system. But the printout from Laser Jet is coming out correctly for the same smartforms.
We are using EPSON DLQ3000 and we configure the output device using EPESCP2 as the Device Type. The problem is font size of the print out is all printed as courier size 12, but there are different font sizes in the smartforms.
But when we use local printing (using SAPLPD), there is no problem, all different font size is printed.
If we using to same output device to print some sapscript, everything is working well. Font size will print accordingly to the preview of the sapscript.
Do you have any idea of the problem that we have. Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Lee Shi

Dear Lee,
Ideally the printout should come as it is shown in the preview.I remember once it had happened with me too.But in my case there is no problem with the settings at SAP level.When we checked we found the problem is with the printer cartridge.
We co-ordinated with the system administrator and n/w guys.They in turn change the cartridge and issue was fixed.
PS:In my case all SAP printout were coming properly except the smartforms.
Regards,
Ashutosh

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.

Does anyone know of a dot-matrix printer compatible with Mac OS X Lion?

We need to upgrade our system at work to Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. We need to find a dot-matrix printer to print our multi-part forms. We have been using an Epson FX-980 and FX-890N under OS X 10.4 (Classic Mode). I've tried to use the FX-890N (newer) using the Epson 9-pin driver supplied with OS X 10.7. The print quality is so bad it's almost illegable. I also tried different fonts in the hopes to improve print quality but have not been able to improve.
We have GOT to get to OS X 10.7 Lion, but cannot give up our impact printing capability. We are willing to buy a new impact printer if needed.
Please HELP!!!

I tried your link, but it came back with no page found at Lexmark. We just purchased a LexMark Forms (dot-matrix) Printer Model 2580n after takling with sales support at LexMark. They confirmed that this printer worked with Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion). HOWEVER, after receiving the printer, and unsuccessfully attempting to get it to print, I called their tech support. They told me that their sales dept was incorrect, and that they do not have a dot-matrix printer that will work with OS X 10.7. They are in the process of issuing me an RMA# to return the printer with a full refund.
Nothing would make me happier than for you to prove them wrong. I DESPERATELY need to find a dot-matrix printer that does work with OS X 10.7.
Any additional input you could supply would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to your reply.

yes. As long as it is a newer one (means not 15-20 years old). Do you have one? If so, provide the make/model. If you do not have one, which ones are you looking to purchase?

Use dot matrix printers for printing text reports in Reports 10g

In Forms 6i, customers had the option to use dot matrix printers for printing text reports.
I believe, from 9i onwards, text based reports aren’t supported and instead HTML/PDF,DOC,RTF reports are supported which are not text based and use modern day printers.
Is it still possible to use text printers ??

Noman

Portrait on 14" width by 11" length continuous feed paper for Dot Matrix printer.

Hello,
I am trying to set the properties of a Report Builder 3.0 form for Portrait orientation with 14" width by 11" length continuous form. The report will print on a high speed dot matrix printer. My problem is when I change the report property
to 14" width by 11" length, Report Builder 3.0 automatically changes the Orientation to Landscape! I want it Portrait on 14"x11" paper!
Thanks in advance.

Hi CRC111,
According to your description, when printing reports in dot matrix printer, it can't keep the Portrait in report property. Right?
In Reporting Services, it supports printing in a dot matrix printer. However, the dot matrix print is quite different from regular printers. It has reported it can't accept the page layout(landscape and Portrait). In this scenario, we suggest you export
the report into PDF/TIFF, then print it in dot matrix printer. Please refer to the links below:
SSRS Printing to Dot matrix printer
Reporting by using Dot Matrix Printer

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Change SEQUENCE = "213" to SEQUENCE = "218" in the Task ID Field component. That will solve the issue.

Right dot matrix printer?

After doing some searching, I just want to make sure I have a handle on this before purchasing anything.
If I want to run a dot matrix printer on an ibook running 10.3.9 can I just use gutenprint with whatever printer I can buy cheap on their supported list? And then just use a converter cable if necessary? Will that have me covered?
I've also seen references to some converter cables working better than others? Will there be any software associated with using a usb/parallel converter that I need to know about?
I actually tried making the switch years ago, but all the techno jargon made my brain bleed. Things seem to have improved a little since then.
ibook g4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)
