Print report in the center of paper

Hello, I am using the Labview 8.2.1. and I am trying to print a "Standard Report" which contains only a JPEG image, in the center of the paper, but it is always printed at the left side of the paper A4.
How can I choose its orientation ? I also choosed the "Right Alignement" but is printed again on the left.
Here is my block diagram.
Thank you in advance.
Solved!

Thank you. The "Set Report Margins" in "Report Layout" must be used indeed.
Here is the block diagram:

How do I stop Preview printing things in the center of the paper?

Preview always insists on printing things in the center of the paper, which is handy when I'm printing, say, a paper-page document, but when I'm printing images or PDF's less than the full paper size, the result is a big waste of paper, especially when I have to print out multiple documents. The only workaround to my knowledge is to throw all my documents into Pages and arrange and print them from there, but come on—that isn't an acceptable solution. This is a problem I would expect to find in Windows. Anyone know how to change this?

One action that you can follow is to open an image in Preview and set to show the Thumbnails. You can then drag some other images that you want to print into the Thumbnail bar. If you then select to print and with the Show Details view selected, choose the Layout menu and set the Pages Per Sheet menu to 2 or 4 or 6 (depending on the number of images you have to print) then this will print all of these images on a single page.

Printing report list output in A4 paper

Hi!
Is it possible to fit the list output of a report having a line-size of 240 into an A4 paper ?...when I was trying to print the output is being cut. Some columns at the right were not printed since all columns do not fit on the paper even on landscape. The system defaults format is X_65_255 which has 65 rows and 255 lines. How can I make it fit an A4 paper?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Mervin,
To make printing possible on A4 paper you'll need to define a new output format.
For this use transaction SPAD.
Press the button "Full Administration" (F7).
Select the tab "Device Types".
Press the button "Page formats".
Set the screen in Change Mode (press Change button or F8).
Press the Create button (Shift+F1).
Give a name (starting with Z, like Z_LAND).
Select Orientation "Landscape".
Set papersize width/unit to 255 CH
Set papersize height/unit to 65 LN
Save your work.
Go back to tha SPAD tabpages.
Press the button "Format Types".
Set the screen in Change Mode (press Change button or F8).
Press the Create button (Shift+F1).
Enter in the screen a format name (starting with Z or Y).
Set the format type to type L (Format type for ABAP lists).
Set the page format to your created format (like Z_LAND).
Enter the number of lines that can be printed on A4 (e.g. 65)
Enter the number characters (columns) that can be printed on one row on A4 (e.g. 255).
Give a comprehensive comment.
Save your work.
Go back to tha SPAD tabpages.
Select tab "Devices / servers".
Press the button "Output devices".
Select your printer.
Set the screen in Change Mode (press Change button or F8).
Go to tabpage "Tray info".
Choose the right tray for your selected printer and fill in the previously created page format.
Save your work.
Leave transaction SPAD.
This format can be used to print your reports.
Remove your own printerdefault (Via menu System --> User profile --> Own data, tabpage Defaults).
When printing a dialog appears where you now can choose the modified printer (with modified page settings).
As you can see, this is more of a job the the admin guys.
As a remark: The default page formax X_65_255 should print 255 columns on paper (landscape). Most likely a small character set is used for this. The character size can also be modified (in the same transaction) to fit an entire row.
Hope this gives you a clue where you can influence the way lists are printed.
Regards,
Rob.

The only working print-related function in BioBench1.2 on my PC is the "Print Report", all the other "Print" functions gave me "Error, the printer is not set up correctly".

I used to print all my BioBench data by first exporting them to Excel and then print from there. Recently I need to print some of the screen shots and some data directly from array analysis, but when I click on the "print" buttons, the "Error, the printer is not set up correctly" message occurs. The only thing I can print from BB without this error is the report printing function. I have a postcript printer and I have set the postscript option to be "true"... Thanks !

This problem is a result of a limitation in Windows 9x regarding the size of an image that you can send to the printer. The problem does not occur on Windows 2000/NT. This problem appeared with the increased color options of LabVIEW 6.0 on which the BB1.2 is based.Although it is not immediately obvious, your video driver and settings play a role in printing.
1. Try adjusting the color palette your driver uses (i.e., 256 color, high olor, true color). The error may occur only in one of these modes. Also, change the resolution (number of pixels) to represent the Screen Area; e.g., change from a 1024 x 768 display to an 800 x 600 pixel display.
2.Certain video drivers also support "acceleration" modes. Using a non-accelerated mode often eliminates the error. For
Windows 95/98, right-click on your My Computer icon and select "Properties" from the pop-up
menu. On the Performance tab, click the Graphics button and change the Hardware Acceleration (e.g., if it is set to "Full", lower the setting a notch or two); for Windows 2000/NT, right-click on your Desktop and select "Properties" from the pop-up menu. On the Settings tab, click the Advanced button and go to
Troubleshooting.
3.In Windows, the standard VGA driver provided by the operating system is very stable. Try using this driver in place of the specific one written for your video hardware. If the error is eliminated, there is likely a problem with your vendor-provided video driver.
4.These errors are most often fixed with the latest
video/printer driver. Be sure to contact your hardware manufacturer and install the latest driver. An easy way to determine if your error is "driver-related" is to move your code to another machine (and hopefully a different set of drivers) and see if th
e error persists. If the problem is printer related, try another printer.
5.Make sure there are at least 100M avalible space in your C: drive. If not, set the virtual memory to the other drive which has larger available space.

Printing Report on the Web

Hi all,
I have a question about printing the report on the web.
I would like to directly print the report once I press the button in the web form. The method I am now using is just hard-code the URL of the report link to the button.
However, I want to print the report directly to the printer once I press the button, but I am not successful.
I have already set the following:
destype=printer
destname=HP4050
My printer is on the network where the port is specified by the HP is NPIAB7C2B. Is it related to the link that I need to included?
Thx first~
Patrick.

Hi
Was a solution found for this?
I also want to print a report straight to the users default printer without them having to open Adobe on the web and then selecting File > Print?
The forms version is Forms 10g and running on the report on the report server.
I can thus transfer the report from the report server to the local pc of the user, but I still don’t have a way of printing the PDF file once it is there.
I know about the adobe command line below, but that assumes you know the users verion of Adome and the location of where it is installed.
AcroRd32.exe "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /p "c:\temp\test.pdf"
Id there a way to get arounf this?
Thanks

I have Mac os10 yosemite and with photoshop elements 13 I cannot get a menu from Print to change the type of paper. Where is that menu The one that comes up only alows for paper size not type

After clicking print the menu that comes up does not allow for a change in paper type. Where can I change the paper type. OS 10.10 Yosemite with Photoshop Elements 13. I have a windows computer with the same program and the print menu has a paper settings option but not on the the mac. What gives. Is the Elements 13 not compatible with the OS 10 Yosemite? Thanks for any help

If you delete all the Adobe Reader stuff it will probably fix this. For almost everything, the Apple pdf handling works better.

Printing scripi on both side of paper

Hi All,
I want to print script on both side of paper.
my observations.
the output device they are using it prints report on both side of paper.
in script , processing mode selected D and i am printing dunning letters.
in main program used NEW-PAGE. that should not make any difference.
let me know from script side what i have to do and also from my device type what else i have to check.
urgent
Regards
Gopal

hi,
We can print both sides of the paper
You switch to duplex or tumble duplex mode with a form page for which one of these modes is specified. To continue printing in the current mode, for follow-on pages you must define another page in which the Print mode field is empty. Otherwise, the following pages after the mode switch will continue to be printed only on the front sides of new sheets of paper.
The reason: When SAPscript sends a page with Print mode D or T to the printer, it not only sets the print mode accordingly. To ensure that the first page in the new mode is correctly output, SAPscript also instructs the printer to output the page on the front side of a sheet. If SAPscript sends a sequence of D or T pages to the printer, the output is printed only on the front side of each sheet.
You define a first page named FIRST for a form to be printed in duplex mode. You therefore set the Print mode in FIRST to D.
To make the duplex printing work correctly, you must define a second page FOLLOWER in which Print mode is left empty. In the form definition, you specify FOLLOWER as the follow-on page for FIRST and for itself as well.
Your text is then printed in duplex mode. FIRST switches the printer to duplex mode and forces printing of the first page on the front side of a new sheet. FOLLOWER accepts the duplex mode and sends no further mode print controls to the printer. The printer therefore alternately prints FOLLOWER pages on the fronts and backs of sheets.
The print controls that must be defined for a device type depend upon the SAPscript printer driver that is to be used with the device type.
set the followint print control.
SPMDU
Begin duplex printing (both sides of paper). (Needed only if supported by device.)
follow this link it will help.

Photoshop CS4 Printer Controls will not center images

I have two Epson Printers-The Stylus Pro 4000 and the Stylus Photo 1280, both several years old. I have downloaded and installed the most recent drivers for each. When printing from CS4 to either printer, and using the "center image" choice, I cannot get the print to be centered with equal margins on opposing sides. I have read various articles on how to do this, but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

Thank you Jeff for your response. I have tried the approach of the
custom paper size, but it does not seem to work right on my
configuration. I will keep trying. Do any of your books deal with
another problem which i am having relative to my switch from PC
Windows XP to OSX relative to a concurrent switch from CS3 to CS4.
The color ICC printer profiles for my Epson 4000 have not been
recognized by CS4 printer dialog box, though Lightroom 2 does find
them. They still exist in a file in the Library. I am not sure
whether the OSX operating system and CS4 require a different format
for the profiles (ie. some connection with the Colorsync utiltity?)
In any event, I note your new book on CS4 is out. Would that deal
with this issue?

BO XI R2 - "Blank "Crystal Reports Viewer" window - attempt to print report

My company recently set up a Business Object Enterprise XI Release 2 server. On the server are a number of crystal reports that are run interactively by users, through the user console. The expectation is that the user will log on to the BI server, click on the report title, enter the parameters, see a preview of the report in the Crystal Report Viewer, then click the print icon on the Crystal Report Viewer toolbar.
Our corporate standard is current Windows XP SP3, with Internet Explorer 8; By default, users are set up to use the DHTML report viewer. The reports were developed with the Crystal Reports XI R2 report designer, and connect to an Oracle 10g database through Oracle client.
When users attempt to view, then print the reports, the user is able to select the report, enter the parameters, view the report data, and even page through the report preview with no issues. However, when the user attempts to print the report by clicking the print icon on the Crystal Reports Viewer toolbar, a blank "Crystal Reports Viewer" window pops up and remains indefinitely.
The really puzzling thing about this issue is that for about 1/3 of our users, printing will work - a print dialog will appear, allowing the user to select a printer, and when the user clicks OK, the report will print. For the other 2/3 of our users, the blank "Crystal Reports Viewer" window pops up.
I have added the BO XI R2 server's address to trusted sites, adopted the lowest security settings for trusted sites, and enabled all activity I could think of in IE security settings (ActiveX controls-related). I also ran the web site in compatibilitiy mode.
Has anyone on this forum experienced this issue, and does anyone here know how to resolve it?
Thank you,
Bob Gardner

I suspect that this behavior occurs because the client computer is unable to download ActiveX controls.
The report viewer requires the PrintControl.dll to print reports from the client computer. The PrintControl.dll downloads automatically if it has not been previously downloaded on to the client computer, provided that the user that is currently logged on is able to download ActiveX controls.
To enable the download of ActiveX controls on the client computer, perform the following steps:
1) Open your Internet Explorer.
2) From the Tools menu, select Internet Options.
3) In the Security tab, select the web content zone that corresponds to your web application.
4) Click Custom Level.
5) In the Security Settings dialog box, scroll down to find the ActiveX controls and plug-ins section.
6) Select Enable or Prompt for the Download signed ActiveX controls item.
7) The print dialog box will now appear successfully when clicking the print button in the report viewer.
If the above does not help, try to troubleshoot this as follows:
1) click the print button (this will cause a postback to the web page) and then cancel the print dialog. right-click in the web page and select "View Source".
2) Search for the word "printcontrol.cab". This will show you where the application is trying to download the printcontrol from.
Paste the URL into a browser.
3) If you get prompted to "open or save to disk" the url is correct and there is a browser setting or possibly even a system policy preventing the download.
4) If you get a "404 page not found" or a similar error message, investigate the URL.
5) If the issue is on your local web server, see if it is possible to browse to the URL in IIS manager.

Problems with Print Report Queries and € sign

Hi,
In one of my database fields I've prices with currency (euro sign, dollar, etc.) saved as varchar2.
In PDF report I need to make some calculations with this value, so I thought of dividing it into 2 parts, value and currency.
As SQL statement I've the following:
SELECT REGEXP_REPLACE(REPLACE(PRICE, '€', ''), '[^[:digit:]|.|,]*', '') PRICE,
TRIM(SUBSTR(PRICE, LENGTH(REGEXP_REPLACE(REPLACE(PRICE, '€', ''), '[^[:digit:]|.|,]*', ''))+1)) CURRENCY
FROM MY_TABLEIn SQL Workshop it's working fine, but when I put this query as the Printing Report Query, the value & # 8 3 6 4 ; is translated first into € and then in rotated question mark, which means the query is no more working.
Any other ideas how to solve the problem?
Thanks
chrissy

willspring,
Just to make sure: As I understand it, things worked in CS4, not only in earlier versions.
To reset settings in Illy, you may Move the folder, but it may not solve the issue (the simpler but less thorough resetting being to Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup).
Have you made any changes, such as printer driver or whatever, between success and failure?

Unable to see my report in the LOV

Hello,
I have a v basic question. I have changed the report "Invoice Print Selected Invoices" to display an XML output and after I submit the report and it completes, I try to run the XML Report Publisher concurrent program. The parameter wwindow does not show the request that ran before. I have changed the Concurrent:Report Access level to User , still it does not show the report in the LOV, It shows some other Check printing reports, not the Invoice one, What other set ups do I need to do ? Pl help
Thanks
Vidhya

Hi Vidhya,
Please confirm the following:
1. Change output of concurrent program to XML
2. Setup data definition with the code exactly the same as the concurrent program short name
3. Setup template with the code exactly the same as the concurrent program short name
4. Run the report with the same user and same responsibility as you are attempting to run XML Report Publisher from.

Crystal Report Print report on different paper size (A4/Letter)

I develop the crystal report 2008 with VS.net 2008. The report runs on web.
when I preview or debug with VS on my local computer, the crystal report using A4 (8.3 * 11.7 in), Which is correct.
However, after I deploy the program to the server, and try view and print report through IE, the print out is actually using Letter size (8.5 * 11 in).
Both on my local computer and the server, the default printer is set to A4 size. And on the crystal report, in the printer setup, the paper size is A4 as well.
I try on firefox, and safari. No luck. Same as IE.
The crystal report need to print barcode, and the paper size must be A4, cuz the barcode page is designed and printed on A4 Avery Laser Barcode sheet.
I tried on my PC by using remote server data souce, the printing works perfectly in A4 size (8.3"*11.7").
And I don't know why same program after deploy to the server, then it using Letter size (8.5" * 11"), which the size I never set to.
So strange.
Thanks

A few ideas \ suggestions:
1) Make sure you are using FP 3.3 runtime:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100016807202010E/cr2008fp33_redist.zip
2) Try a simple win app - use saved data report (crystalreportviewer1.reportsource = <path to saved data report>). Does this print correctly?
3) What print mode are you using; PDF or ActiveX?
4) Try export to RPT and PDF from your web app. Does it export correctly?

Crystal Report XI Print report on different paper size (A4/Letter)

Hi,
I have designed report in Crystal XI using paper sieze Letter. Multipler sites are using this application. User in USA are using Letter size paper and User in Euorpe are using A4 size paper. All reports work fine for USA users.
When Eurpoe users print the report on A4 size paper which set in Letter size, the report is truncated from Header or footer. They are printing report from Application and application is set on Citix server.
If Anybody have any idea how to setup Crystal report so it can print on any paper size?
Thanks
Bhagvat

Hi Don,
Please find the below description.
Background: Crystal Report XI is utilized to develop and view reports with data source from Oracle based LIMS application (Vendor: LabWare). The reports are printed using network printer on US Letter paper for users located in North America and on A4 paper for users located in Europe. The report format is US Letter and designed to print on both paper formats i.e. Letter and A4.
Issue: When reports are printed by users in Europe using A4 format paper the printer defaults to US Letter paper (in printer preferences) resulting to data cut off from top and bottom on the printout.
1)      When report layout is select to A4 during developing reports using CR, the printing preferences changes to A4 when printed and vice versa for Letter format. How can we avoid CR to enforce from changing printing preferences?
2)     According to Citrix engineers in the company, the printer drivers installed on Citrix servers have nothing to do with printing preferences and CR defaults to paper size based on report design. What do we tell them about doing different to resolve this issue?
3)    Even though a printer preference of default printer on local desktop is changed to A4, the report gets printed to Letter format result in data cutoff. We have tried this option with several HP printers from few different company locations.
Thanks
Bhagvat
