Print Dot Matrix codes in InDesign CS6

In InDesign, you can display barcodes by using a barcode font.
Is there anything similar available to display Dot Matrix codes.
Thanks

No.

Print PDF report directly to a network printer (dot matrix)

Dear All,
I have a report of PDF output generated from an XML Report..
Can I print this PDF report directly to the network printer (dot matrix), by default, like a normal text report output.
If yes, how can I make this possible...
Please update...

Hi,
Yes u can do that ,first setup the printer on the o/s and refer below documents

Generate and print data matrix code from a vi

Folks,
does anyone know how to code a string into a data matrix code? How can the code be printed most straightforward? Probably it's the best way to generate the code in an image or picture format and send it to the printer that way? The printer we are using is a barcode printer, not an usual laser printer. According to the specifications this printer is able to print data matrix codes. Unfortunately, the vendor of the printer wants the user to use the proprietary software and does not provide a LabVIEW driver.
Thanks for any hint,
P.

Hi
I think the Dymo Labelwriter is a general purpose printer. So you may send data as you do to any printer. Her is a link to free barcode kit for labview http://code.google.com/p/lvbarcode/downloads/list
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

Question: Error Code 4 InDesign CS6

How do I open an indesign CS6 file as a copy in attempts to retrieve the error code 4 message I am receiving? Right clicking does not give the option to open as a copy.

Adobe Indesign CS6 has issues, Adobe says not but only reaffirms with posts like this. We still have a problem here with Indesign and students opening files and getting an error code 4 or error code 5. Quit Indesign and open it again and the files are fine. If you keep trying opening and closing the files it eventually happens again with the error.
Like the lockfile gets corrupt and Indesign caches the problem or something. Not sure.
Here is a video I found showing the issue.

Can a color laser printer be adjusted to match InDesign CS6 colors?

I'm trying to print through a laser printer (color Brother HL-4570CDW) but it muddies all the colors and darkens them.
The inkjet Epson does ok, but I'd like to save ink, if possible. Is there a way to adjust the way the printer reads the colors?
I'm not totally experienced in color profiles and such. I tried both CMYK and RGB, but still it looks awful. It may be the printer, but is there anything else I can do?
Thanks, I know this is a stupid question!

The printer in question, the Brother HL-4570CDW, is a fairly inexpensive SOHO laser printer typically used to print “office” documents. As such, it doesn't offer direct options either on the front panel or via the driver to match typical commercial print conditions such as SWOP. Most content sent to such a device is sent as RGB from printer drivers.
(For your convenience, I have attached a copy of both the specification sheet and the manual for this device!)
Some ideas:
(1) Don't expect reasonable CMYK colors if you are using what Brother describes as the “Windows(r) printer driver (the most suitable printer driver for this product)” and what is apparently installed by default (see page 26 of manual). It invokes an emulation of HP PCL5C, pure RGB, which is a real problem from InDesign. Install their “BR-Script printer driver” and turn off the option for RGB vivid color and try that instead. BR-Script is Brother's emulation of PostScript 3 - definitely not Adobe PostScript 3, but it possibly will give you better results than their emulation of PCL5C!
(2) Assuming you are printing BR-Script and the colors are still very problematic, try recalibrating the printer via the printer's front panel. See page 82 of their manual!
(3) Export PDF as PDF/X-4 and try printing the PDF/X-4 file from Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader, again using the BR-Script driver. This might improve things.
If you still can't get decent color and the printer is still “new,” I'd try to return the unit as defective. You can get much better printers for comparable prices from Xerox that have Adobe PostScript 3 and have reasonably good color. Otherwise, if still under warranty, I'd contact Brother and see if they have solutions other than blaming Adobe somehow!

PS: This isn't the first report I've heard of serious problems with Brother CloneScript devices.

Pixelated printing of linked graphics in InDesign CS6

Since upgrading to this version (CS6 for Mac), I have often had issues correctly printing placed graphics. They look low res though they have been properly "placed" and there are no errors detected in preflight. I just tried printing a letter with a placed file and two copy/paste images from the internet. The internet images look better than the placed graphic psd file! Everything is crisp on screen, but placed PSD, JPG, AI, PDF, all look crummy when printed.
I have looked through Preferences and have "High Quality Display" chosen, but that's only for screen viewing anyway, right?
I would appreciate any direction on this. Thank you!!

Genius! Thank you so much, it worked!! I so appreciate your responding so quickly. Have a great day!

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

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.

Laser and dot matrix printer

Hi ,
I have developed delivery note using smartforms when i see print preview of this form giving logical destination laser printer it is coming fine and print is also good. but as my client wants to take the form print both on laser and dot matrix so when i am giving logical destination as dotmatrix printer if i see print preview then the total settings are disturbed like boxes and also in print the box lines are not printing.
what i have to do to get good printout on both the printers.
thanks in advance.

Best idea to print your script on both dot matrix and laser printer is, create one table and allow user for maintainance, now before print preview go and check this customized table(using subroutines) and if laser printer, print all boxes... if on dot matrix remove what all lines not supported on dot matrix printer.
EX:
Go and fetch printer name from customized table,
IF printer = 'LASER'
***Draw boxes
***LINEITEMS
ELSEIF printer = 'Dot matrix'
***LINEITEMS.
ENDIF.

Dim Frm1 As New Form1     Dim RV As New CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.CrystalReportViewer     CR.SetDataSource(PrintDatabase1.Tables(0))     RV.DisplayGroupTree = False     RV.DisplayToolbar = True     Frm1.Controls.Add(RV)     Frm1.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized     RV.Dock = DockStyle.Fill     RV.ReportSource = CR     Frm1.Show() When print the Document , the printer print in Portrait Orientation mode . why I donu2019t know second : same situation but I add this code   Code:
CR.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Landscape When print the Document , the printer print in Portrait Orientation mode . why I donu2019t know thired :   Code:
CR.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Landscape CR.FormatEngine.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Landscape
Again When print the Document , the printer print in Portrait Orientation mode . why I donu2019t know
Now after I changed the defaults setting for the Epson printer to Orintation = Landscape Paper size = Legal And used this code Code: SetDataSource(PrintDatabase1.Tables(0))       CR.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Landscape       CR.PrintOptions.PaperSize = PaperSize.PaperLegal CR.FormatEngine.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize.DefaultPaperSize = PaperSize.DefaultPaperSize.PaperLegal The printer print in Landscape mode but it not printing the data which located in the right side of paper While that I checked the properties of printer from printer button in the crystal report viewer I found the orientation = Portrait I think its mean the program print the document by coding as landscape but printer receive it and print it as portrait because that it is not shown the right side of paper

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

We have an applescript that will batch print InDesign CS6 files from a folder to a laser printer using an InDesign print preset. The script does not work in OS X Yosemite. The script errors out with the print preset. Any thoughts?

end if
repeat with aFile in selected_items
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS6"

Stop rolling the the paper out in dot matrix priner once the print is done

Hi,
I have used the below code to print a document and the printer used is dot matrix But,it rolls out the page once the print is done.
I want to control the printer so that it stops rolling out the page once the print is done. Or set the print based on the paper size and stop rolling the paper.
public void Print_Doc(string Path)
try
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application word = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application { Visible = false };
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document doc = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document();
// where did you get this file name?
// as you mentioned, you open your word document here
doc = word.Documents.Open(Path);
// in your button click handler, just call PrintOut() function
// if doc == null, open the document
if (doc == null)
// here i assume fileName has been assigned
doc = word.Documents.Open(Path);
doc.PrintOut();
catch (Exception ee)
MessageBox.Show(ee.Message, "Exception", MessageBoxButton.OK, MessageBoxImage.Error);
return;
Please help me resolve this,
Thanks,
Shreyas M

Not so much wpf there.
Keep an eye out because this thread may be moved to another forum.
I think Word will "throw" the page at end.
You could check the advice here:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/kb/233493?wa=wsignin1.0
See if you have an unwanted page break or something like an outsized table which is making it think it needs to print more.
You might get lucky.
Hope that helps.

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,
--Ryan

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?
Thanks,

Labels printed in Dot Matrix Printer

Hi Experts,
I am new to the label creation.
I need to create a new label which will be printed using a Epson Dot matrix printer.
I got an idea how to do it in zebra printing. But still I am wondering how it can be done for a dot matrix.
Whether it is same like zebra programming or dot matrix do have some other coding language to display the label?
Could you please explain me on this?
Thanks & Regards,
Arun.

hi,
there is a huge difference between a standard dot matrix printer and a zebra printer.
a zebra printer mworks with ZPL II commands. All other printer works otherwise.
However. If you use smartforms the code in the smartform is converted to ZPL|| automatically. ( I think you can see it in the spool but i am not sure)
If you use sapscript you have to code the ZPLII yourself.
On an other printer you can work with normal commands. You have only to take care that the printer has a porper driver. Ad fthe form has the proper pagelayout.
This will do.
Gr., Frank
