Hi Chirag
Use "Printer Code Before" and "Printer Code After" property against the object that you want to appear bold.
To find out the list of printer codes, refer the manual that came along with your printer.

Printing bold text in char mode report

Hi all,
I have developed a character mode report. I am able to print some text in big letters and some in condensed. But I am not able to print some text in bold. What printer cde should be used for printing in bold. Please help.
Thanks in advance

Tanikella,
The escape codes might be different for different printers. You might need to check with the printer documentation and use that appropriately in the deflt.prt file of reports or the .prt file you use in desformat
Please refer to character mode printing chapter of

Hello
Search the Oracle Reports Online help for "Printer Code Before" :
Printer Code Before property
Printer Codes are references to printer escape sequences that define special printing instructions (for example, special font sizes or highlighting) for the object. The Printer Code Before property specifies the printer escape sequence to be executed before each line of the object. The printer escape sequences are inserted after the object is triggered to print but before it has actually printed.

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.

Printing Character Mode Report On Oracle 9i AS - Application Server

Hi All,
Even though I have put this problem in Reports Forum,
I thought it fit to put forward this problem in Forms Forum
since Forms Forum is being accessed by a large number
of developers across the world.
Now the problem :
I have developed a report in Character mode that runs in
hundreds of pages. The output will be taken on High speed
Dot Matrix Printer since the client requirement is fast printing
& economical printing. That is the reason to develop this report
in Character mode & not Bitmap mode. This report works
fine in Client-Server environment.
However, the problem lies in the Web Server environment.
The same reports will be run on Oracle 9i AS. Since the
browser supports only HTML & PDF format, Character
mode reports faces a major problem.
Can anybody help me to resolve this problem ??
I would like to remind you again that the constraint is NOT
TO USE LASER PRINTERS.
Thanks.

URGENT: Problem in printing Character Mode Report in Chinese Version

Hello,
I am working with Reports 6i. i have developed one Character mode report. This report is working and printing fine in Windows 2000 Server (English Version). But, this report is not working properly in Windows 2000 Professional (Traditional Chinese Version) where i have compiled report in Chinese Version Machine. And, i am getting the Preview properly. Main problem is at the time of printing. I am using EPSON LQ - 2070 Dot Matrix Printer.
Please help me on this issue.
Thanks in advance.
S.Sudhakar Sankar.

Try printing to file first and ensure that the output is correct in something like "notepad" with the appropriate font.

Printing of Character Mode Reports on 3 tier on Dev 6i

Has anyone done character mode printing of reports on Dev6i? We are facing problem of REP: 3002. We have already loaded Orarrp on server and client and also tried changing the service property from log on as System Account to Log on as Administrator and also vice-versa, but nothing seems to work.
Any help will be appreciated.
Plz repond to email: [email protected]
B.Suryaprakash

The first thing to do is to make sure that you can print a character mode report on the server box just using the rwrun60 executable.
If you can do this then you should take a look and make sure that the user that's started the reports server has access to the printer that you're trying to print to (you seem to have changed from the localsystem log on to Administrator, but are you sure that Administrator can access those printers).
I think that orarrp is a red herring here - and I'm not sure why you're trying to set it up.
Hope this helps,
Danny

Character mode report printing

hi everyone,
When I am running report in character mode, it is working fine in previewer. But as soon as I am giving the printing from there, it is giving Rbe ERROR dialog box and runform is getting hanged. How can I get report printed directly from previewer in character mode report generation.
On the other hand if i redirect o/p to a file by making destination type file, then I am able to take to print of file. If any have a solution, please reply ASAP.
Thanking every one
Ashish

Hi Ashish,
It is not clear from your question about the type of error message you are getting.
Please meake sure that the report is indeed a character mode report.
Please verify the following for that:
1. The mode in system parameters is defaulted to
'caracter'
2. In the property palette of the report, the "design in character units" should be marked as yes.
Please ensure that above points and try printing again.
thanks

6i character mode report migrate to 11g , printing result were incorrect in the same matrix printer?

Hi All
We got stuck when our 6i character mode report migrate to 11g.
We use the same PC to test, when run 6i report(character mode with 200 column) in legacy system, report result were correct in our matrix printer ,
When running in 11g, if we directly print report via report builder (without preview), result were correct.
But running report via preview/screen mode, printing result were incorrect ( not 200 column width).
We try to adjust PC's printer/paper setting , but our-defined printing option never appeared in printer dialog.
Is anything(config or some setting) we forgot to do in this situation ?
Thanks for all your patient response!

Controlling Font Size in Character Mode Reports

Hi,
The default Font size of Character mode Reports is 12. I want to reduce the font size from 12 to 8 .How to go about it.The printer codes mentioned in reports Documentation only talk about other attributes like Bold etc.Also the documentation gave the impression that The fontsize can only be controlled for Bitmap reports.Kindly help me out.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Deepak

Deepak:
The font size for character reports is based in the printer size characters, there are: 10, 12 15 20 etc.
I believe that you want is a smaller character, try to configure your printer with condensed font in the panel of the printer, if you can't do that, try send printer codes to the printer via printer definition file.
For the printer code that you need, check the user's manual of the printer to know what code is that you need.
Look for commands in your manual
Good luck.

Linebreak Code in Character Mode Report

Dear All
I m saving a Character Mode Report which is 132 column Wide, and i can access that report in Note Pad in proper format and alignment but when i m use WORDPAD, it open in un aligned format i mean with line break.
so any one can give me any Idea so i can open that report in WORDPAD too.

Take a look at the .prt file that you are using. The linebreak code is stored in there and you can alter it to the appropriate code for your printer/platform/application to view correctly.

Font Size in Character Mode Report

Hi ,
I have to print a report in a pre printed Stationary, which has tabular columns The columns are little bit small . when i have bigger data say value like 9999999.45 it over prints on the pre printed text. is it possible to reduce the size of the data at these places and be normal in other parts of the report.
i.e. Font size reduced inside the tabular column and normal for the remaining part of the report
Will appreciate the help

Font size in character mode report cannot be control through Oracle Report.
 
You can use report .prt file or manually set the printer to print character in small size.
