Line Matrix / Dot Matrix Printers and Reporting Tools

Hi,
Recently i came across with a P7000 Line Matrix Printer. I need to take out more then 2000 pages at the end on each month.
Previously here people were used to to send printout directly from FoxPro (yes that right!). That time all the reports come out from Line Matrix printer very fast and text are not distorted. And header was still in 'Bold' that remind me old DOS days.
In most of the reporting tools that I used, all the text characters are distorted and the printouts take longer time 'n toner to came out, because they prints in grafix mode.
Please let me know the Reporting tools that could handle/use the the dot matrix printers fonts and styles.

I have worked with Reports 3.0 earlier and that was pretty fast with our dot matrix printer.
AFAIR, you need to use Dot-matrix-happy fonts for the speed to be acceptable.

  • 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.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Check your device type.

  • UCM and Reporting Tools

    Hey all,
    Wondering if anyone has any info on reporting tools with UCM (apart from Content Tracker).
    Has anyone integrated, say, something along the lines of Crystal Reports, or Cognos BI, with UCM? Difficult? Easy?
    Appreciate any info!

    Hi
    Another option would be to use Oracle BAM . I have not used it but have heard reviews that it's pretty good and not too complex to set up as well .
    Also there is a ready made solution for OBIEE - UCM which again is rich in features.
    Thanks

  • Reporting and Report tools for CCM

    Can anyone point me in the right direction or give me some suggestions on reporting in CCM. To be a little more specific; for example if a few users complain they are tryin to make outbound calls, and getting a busy signal, is there any reporting tool that I can use to pinpoint the problem or eventually be able to say, hey we need another phone line, etc...
    Also. User calls can complains that the calls they are making lack in quality, how do I report on this or research?

    In order to determine if there are any records in the Structured Query Language (SQL) database, complete these steps:
    Choose Start > Programs > SQL > Enterprise Manager > Microsoft SQL Servers > SQL Server Group.
    Choose Publisher Server > Databases.
    Choose CDR > Tables. Right-click the CallDetailRecord table.
    Choose Open Table > Return All Rows. Determine if there are any records.
    If many records appear, complete this procedure to remove records from ART:
    Choose Programs > SQL Server > Query Analyzer. Log in and choose ART database.
    Run these queries:
    delete from Tbl_Load_History
    delete from Tbl_Dump_PkID
    delete from Tbl_Error_Id_Map
    delete from Tbl_Billing_Data
    delete from Tbl_Billing_Error
    delete from Tbl_Dump_CallDetailRecord
    delete from Tbl_Dump_CallDetailRecordDiagnostic
    This forces ART to get all the old CDRs into ART in the next scheduled loading time. By default, CDR data is loaded every day from midnight to 5 a.m.
    Restart the CDR Insert and DBL Monitor Services from CCM Administration > Application >Cisco CCM Serviceability >Tools > Control Center.
    Refer to the How can I manually purge the ART database? section of CallManager Issue Resolution with CDR and ART FAQ for more information.
    Note: Information deletes from the ART database but not from the CDR.
    Note: If you do not see any records, there are no CDR entries for that time and date range. Determine if conditions are met for CDR generation. CDR records are generated in these circumstances:
    The service parameters CdrEnabled and CallDiagnosticsEnabled are set to True.
    The call is established and has a talk duration greater than 0.
    The call fails and has a cause code that reflects the error.
    In order to set the service parameters, choose Service > Service Parameters, and make sure that the service parameters CdrEnabled and CallDiagnosticsEnabled are set to True in all of the Cisco CallManager servers, both publisher and subscriber.

  • Cost tracking and Reporting tools

    Hi,
    is it possible to track Project cost directly or only on ressource bases.
    What I mean excatlly is, can I assign to different Project Member a per day salary or per Hour ?
    Or can I only see how many man-days ar assigned to the Project ?
    Also I'm interested in Reporting possibilities. Can I use more than the TC SOLAR_EVAL.
    Are the other queries ?
    Thanks in advance
    Guersel

    Hi,
    Yes, You can see only how many man-days are assigned to the Project.
    It is not possible to report project cost directly.
    However, You can assign a different project team member to a different project
    (but per a day salary or hour).

  • Is there any impact analysis tool for Oracle Forms and Reports

    Hi All
    We are curretly looking at tools available to do impact analysis in Oracle Forms and Reports. This is for the maintainance of a large Oracle application developed using forms and reports 10g. We use Oracle Designer but only to maintain the db structure and not for forms and reports generation. Our intension is to find out the impact of db model changes, stored procedure changes in Oracle Forms and Reports. Please suggest any tools that are currently used for this purpose.
    I remember manually maintaining the CRUD matrix for Oracle Forms and Reports for maintainance purpose. CRUD matrix will have the list of all the tables which are affected by the module. But this is a manual activity and hence the responsibility is with the dev team to keep the document updated. Please suggest if there is any alternative to this way which can be more effecient and less error prone...
    I also wonder how these are done in Oracle ERP? how the apps team in oracle is maintaining the forms and reports?
    Thnaks in Advance
    Mahesh Mathew

    Quest (the makers of TOAD) have a tool called SQL Impact which gathers data from forms, reports, triggers, packages etc.
    FormsMate is a simple, cheap alternative for comparing or searching in forms.
    http://www.jockvale.ca/products.html
    Alternatively, you can export forms to xml (with iff2xml90.bat) and reports to jsp (with rwconverter) and simply grep those and your sql scripts. There are grep tools for windows if you need.

  • Essbase Reporting Tools

    Hi all,Just wondering what tools people are using for reportin from essbaseCan I use Crystal/MS Reporting Services?Thanks,Coleman

    Hi,
    1. Firstly, when you are asking of differences between hyperion essbase and reporting tools. Its not a fair apples to apples camparision.
    2. Hyperion essbase is an OLAP tool which uses multidimensionality to produce reports , its not just a reporting tool
    3. The fair camparision would be between 2 OLAP tools , rather than an OLAP tool and a reporting tool.
    4. You have got quite a few OLAP tools available, not every OLAP tools is MOLAP, it might be ROLAP too. This is a huge difference and would work much better too in camparision.

  • 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 ??

    Hi Sreesudha,
    I have used three different line types for the main window.
    LTYPE1(Header) : For printing the column heading along with the title for consignor address.
    LTYPE2(Main Area) : For printing the line items detail. For the first line, I have to print Material Description and chapter Id and if the same    material exists for the second line item, then it should not be printed, so I have written condition for not printing it.
    LTYPE3(Footer) : For printing the footer with the net and gross weight details.
    And for paragraph format, I have used the custom Para. Format only.
    Suggest me ASAP.

  • Crystal Report speed problem on dot matrix printers

    We are attempting to print marketing documents (sales orders) to a dot matrix printer using Crystal Reports. All the add-ons for B1 do this using the crystal report viewer which causes crystal to send true type fonts to the printer, making it very slow. We can run the crystal reports in draft print mode outside of B1, and the performance is good. Is there a way to get the same performance in B1 using Crystal?
    All solutions we have found will require us to launch Crystal reports and have the end user enter parameters, using a link off the application menu works this way. But we are looking for a better solution to print to the dot matrix printer faster.
    Thanks

    Hi Peter,
    When you are printing it from b1 make all the font to the regular type ( not like bold are italic) like that then it will be some how faster...

    Hi all,
    This is to inform that I have myself found the solution. It is possible to print matrix report in condensed mode. The method for printing is same as for any other report. The mistake I made was not checking whether the .prt file is getting referred correctly. The DESFORMAT system parameter was getting populated through the calling form. By referring to the correct .prt file the problem got fixed.

  • Crystal report printing using epson dot matrix printer (continouos paper)

    Hi there, im tiff from the philippines.
    i have a  question on printing using a crystal report. How do i print using epson continuous printer(dot matrix)? im having a problem printing to that type of printer specially using continuous paper. the first page is correct but unfortunately the succeeding pages are not. its automatically adjusted upon reaching the second page. hope you can help me.
    thanks a lot and looking forward to hear from you soon.

    Check with the printer manufacturer that the matrix printer is Unicode compliant. If it is not, it will  not work with Crystal Reports. If it is, make sure you have the latest printer driver updates.
    Download SP 1 for CR 102 from here;

  • Crystal Report printing on dot-matrix printer

    Hello,
    I've developed an application using VB.NET and Crystal Reports in VS2008. The report generated gets printed correctly on modern laser or inkjet printers. However, the entire formatting gets affected when I print these reports on dot matrix printer. Apart from that. the print speed is very slow. I tried exporting the report to PDF, DOC and other formats - but no solution. There was Export to Text function, which is not working in Crystal Reports now.
    After a research on this issue, I found out few links to some solutions - which actually doesn't work. These links are as follows:
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/vscrystalreports/thread/e24a8084-ad53-48bc-a7d5-065ef82636ac

    I've seen some software, in which, when Print on Dot Matrix (custom menu option) is selected, data is sent to DOS mode and reports are printed from DOS mode.
    Is there any solution for this? OR DOS mode is the only solution?
    This is high priority issue. Even though we're moving ahead in IT industry, govt. still depend on 4 color dot matrix printer reports.
    Waiting for solution

  • Java Printing and Dot Matrix printer

    I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but I didn't see any forum about printing.
    I have gotten printing working for my application to both "real" printers and dot-matrix printers. The problem is that I want to display a print dialog box, and have my application detect whether the user selected a "real" printer or a dot-matix printer.
    I've dumped out the supported DocFlavors for both kinds of printers and haven't been able to find any reliable way to determine the printer type. Has anyone found a reliable way to do this?
    I need to detect the printer type becuase I use one DocFlavor to print to a dot-matrix and a different DocFlavor to print to a "real" printer.
    Thanks for any help,

    Thanks for the replies,
    I would like to find some way to auto-detect this, if it is possible. I swear that I will only use the PrinterResolution class for good and not evil!! I was looking at the supported printer resolutions for the printers that are in my office here, and this is what I found:
    Supported Resolutions Win32 Printer : FX-890  (my dot matrix)
    24000x14400 dphi
    12000x7200 dphi
    12000x14400 dphi
    Supported Resolutions Win32 Printer : HP LaserJet 4050 Series PS
    30000x30000 dphi
    60000x60000 dphi
    120000x120000 dphi
    Supported Resolutions Win32 Printer : HP Color LaserJet 4550 PCL 5c
    60000x60000 dphiIt seems interesting that the laser jets only report resolutions that are the same horizontal as vertical, and that the dot matrix supports resolutions that are have different horz vs vert resolutions. Maybe I could use this to make a guess?
    Unfortunately we don't use any native code in our application, although it could be a possibility if there is no 100% java way to auto-detect this. The vast majority of our users will be running Windows. Do you know of a way to figure this out in Windows?
