How to print report in Character mode using Oracle Developer 10g

Dear,
I migrate my forms and reports from Oracle Developer 6 to Oracle Developer reports 10g,
We are using some character mode report for bill printing. But when i run these report through menu on Web i got error message like
"REP-1920: Character mode runtime incompatible with DESFORMAT of PDF, HTML, HTMLCSS, SPREADSHEET or RTF"
i don't want to change the character mode to any other mode because it effects the printing.
so how can it possible to set the mode to character and view report on Web.
pls. suggest me solution.

You have to pass the PRT file name as value for the DESFORMAT and use mode= MODE=CHARACTER.
E.g.
http://<host name>:<port>/reports/rwservlet?desformat=dflt&mode=character&.....

Print landscape report in character mode

Hi!
It seems that I should change xxx.prt file in DESFORMAT parameter to match different kinds of printers in order to print landscape report in character mode.
Our customers are international wide. How can I do to make this setting meet every customer for printing reports in landscape style?
We will run the reports on Unix on the middle tier and customers read them in browser.
Thanks for help.

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.

- in the Property palette of Main Section : Width=21,Height=9.5 and
in character mode Width=80 and height=22
- in System parameter the parameter MODE=CHARACTER and
the parameter DESFORMAT=R80x22
I did a file R80X22.PRT which contains :
printer "epson10cpix6lpi"
height 22
width 80
before report esc"@"
hilight overstrike
return control(M)
linefeed control(J)

and didn't stop after 9.5 cm which is the height of my page in report.
What to do to stop the printer after the height of page in my report (9.5cm)?
