Output a shaded box in SAPScript with Dot Matrix Printer

Hi guys,
Is there a way to print a shaded box in Sapscript using Dot matrix printer?
BOX XPOS '4'CM YPOS '2.8'CM WIDTH '2'CM HEIGHT '0.4'CM FRAME 10 TW INTENSITY 100
I tried the code as above but it wouldn't work, and doing a search on this forum tells me box command wouldn't work on dot matrix printer. So is there any alternative to do this?

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.

Bonjour je m'excuse beaucoup pour poster dans un premier temps en anglais. Je ne savais pas que c'était possible en français.
Voici mon problème: J'ai une imprimante matricielle de type EPSON LX-350 et je souhaite imprimer des fichier PDF (Adobe reader). Mais la police qu'elle sorte est différente de celle attendue après impression et pourtant avec un fichier Word ou Excel je n'ai pas ce problème de format de police. Alors la question est: est t-il possible d'imprimer sans probléme avec une imprimante matricielle un fichier PDF si oui qu'est comment doit procéder. Existe t'il quelqu'un qui l'a déja essayer et avec quelle marque d'imprimante.
Merci de votre disponibilité.

Can any one help me.
Thanks,

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.

Aidan

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.

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

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.

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.
thx

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.

Replacing Dot Matrix Printer with a Laser Printer

I'm hoping to replace a dot matrix printer currently used to produce a 2 layer carbon copy form with a laser printer. The source of the form is SAP. The length of the form varies between 1 and 3 pages. Does HP have a printer/paper solution?

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!!!
<Email Edited By Host>

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.
