Print Report using ASCII command through printer selection available on windows

Hi,
I'm using Labview 2009 to create a report using Report Generation Toolkit.
Creating a report is not the problem, the problem is I need to print the report manually by sending an ASCII Code.
I noticed that there are few example on send ASCII code command, but neither of them are related to printing.
The printer I use is Panasonic dot matrix printer KX-P1121E with USB port. (Fanfold type of paper)
I used "NI_report_lvclass: Print report.vi" from Report Generation before this to print my report, everything is okay and not receiving any error.
But I noticed that after finish printing, the paper will automatically feed out as if that VI (Print report.vi) is sending out "Form Feed" (FF) Command to the printer.
My application cannot use this method because I need to print a set of data in every minute. If the data only have 2 rows, then it will be a wasting a lot of paper if everytime finished printing paper feeding out. I want the printer to continue standby on the same paper after finished printing previous data. In other words, maybe just manually send "Line Feed or Carriage Return" to the printer.
So I have a few things need to be clarified step by step;
1. How can I send an ASCII Code to my printer? Do you have any example for this? link below is the character of ASCII Codes that can be use :http://webpages.charter.net/dperr/links/esc_p83.htm
2. Can I send a report created by report generation to be printed using this ASCII command method?
3. If my printer is setup by using windows (Meaning: Available on "Printer and Faxes" list), How can I configure the printer setup in sending the ASCII Code?
Really appreciated your reply
Thanks!

Hi Zwired1,
Just to make sure I fully understand the situation - I am assuming since you say you are printing to two different printers that when you are using the Print Report.vi you are using the printer name string to specify which printer you would like to print on. And if the printer that you specify is not functioning it automatically prints on the other printer, is that correct?
From looking at the code in the Print Report.vi, it looks like if you specify a printer name in the input string, if there is a problem with that printer or if that printer is unavailable, the VI should not print anything, so please let me know if that is not the behavior you are seeing.
For your question about checking the health of printers, there is a VI in the report gen toolkit called Query Available Printers. You can find it if you open up the Print Report.vi and choose the Standard Report instance, the Query Available Printers.vi is on the block diagram of that VI. It will return the list of available printers and the default printer.
I hope that helps,

"no row count was produced" error using mqsl commands through Access

"no row count was produced" error using mqsl commands through Microsoft Access. This sql statement works when I use in in the Access program but it does not work when I try and put it through Access using my Java program. Here is the block of code that I have that does the search.
public static Game searchRecord(String search) throws SQLException{
String query = "SELECT* " + "FROM gamefields WHERE SKU = '" + search + "' ORDER BY SKU ASC";
Game lastGame = new Game(gamefields.getString(1),
gamefields.getString(2),
gamefields.getString(3),
gamefields.getString(4),
gamefields.getString(5),
gamefields.getString(6),
gamefields.getString(7),
gamefields.getDouble(8));
Statement statement = connection.createStatement(); //Creates connection
//statment to database
statement.executeUpdate(query); //Executes the delete query and Updates the database
statement.close();
close();
open();
return lastGame;

When you use the code from java, you access access (!) through the ODBC interface. Things can be different in ODBC and Jet. When you use PrepareadStatements, you should be on the save side:
public static Game searchRecord(String search) throws SQLException
String query = "SELECT * FROM gamefields WHERE SKU = ? ORDER BY SKU ASC";
PreparedStatement statement = connection.prepareStatement(query);
statement.setString(1, search);
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery(query);
if(rs.next()
// if a row retuned extract the details here
rs.close();
statement.close();
return lastGame;
}

Sending ASCII commands through USB hub

I am having issues connecting to hardware. I have 3 types of hardware connected to a Serial to USB converter hub. 2 of the hardware take ASCII commands while the other does not. I am able to communicate with the hardware individually without the hub but when I connect the hardware to the hub and the hub to my computer, it does not work. I do not think MAX sees the hardware connected. Any ideas?
CLD Certified 2014

When you say "hub", are you talking about a product like the QUATECH USB to serial adapter (4 ports)?
If so, then each port has its own serial port assigned to it. You should be able to communicate through it using a terminal emulator, such as HyperTerm, TerraTerm, ProCOMM, etc.
You do have to install the driver for the box and you can also configure the starting COM port number. For instance, Port A on my box is COM-3.
You can open multiple ports in parallel, as long as you select different COM port numbers.
MAX should see the serial ports.

Using SCP command through Startand Java Library

Hello,
Is there any class or way available in Standard Java Library to use SCP command. Actually I want to copy file from one Linux system to another through Java code using SCP protocol .

If we can't dissuade you from this course, I'll help you get started: go find RFC 4251, read it, understand it, love it. Then you'll have to do the same with 4252, 4253, 4254, 4255, and 4256. Also, don't forget 1321, 1950, 2104, 2144, 2409, 2440, 3447, and 3526. Then just brush up on java sockets, crypto and IO. Easy as pie!

Send Ascii command Through RS232 Interface in labview

Hello,
I tried to use labview to control the CD2A Compudrive.
Actually I found the driver of CD2A online in the following link
http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.model_page?p_model_id=266
but however, I still can't use this driver to send the command and adjust the parameter.
p.s. Use only "CD2A Setup" or "CD2A Init" should be enough to set the parameter and command, right?
The command code written in the CD2A Manual is, for example,
<STX>ST600<ETX><LF> which is Start of Message,Start Position 600 nm, End of Message, Line Feed
I've tried to send this using MAX (Measurement & Automation Explorer), but the signal I got back is
−1073807298
= Could not perform operation because of I/O error.
For the command in the driver above,
The code is written in number form of ascii format >> e.g. <STX> = ascii 02
and The Code is written as
\02ST600\03\r
But sending this code>> nothing happens
Which is quite confusing for me.
1. Is it general to write \02 to send <STX> signal??
2. actually <LF> = ascii 10 >> so why does it use /r instead?
3. What should I do, is my format correct??? I can't even send one signal to operate it at all.
Thank you very much for help

A string control can set for 4 different types of display. When you right click on it, you can select Normal, '\' Codes, Hex, or Password. Normal is ASCII character and the unprintable characters such as <STX> cannot be entered. The <STX> is hex 02 so you enter this as \02. The '\' says to interpret the next byte as hex. A <LF> is not ASCII 10 at all. It is hex 0A. For readability, it was decided a long time ago that certain '\' characters could be represented a bit differently. If \n, that was hex 0A. A \r is hex 0D or the CR. You can find documentation on these stand C Escape Sequences. In LabVIEW, you can type \0A into your control and it will automatically convert or \n.
Your other option is to use hex display. You just enter all of the hex equivalents though it makes entering the ST600 a bit more difficult in your case.
I'm not sure if the data entry in MAX is set for '\' Code Display and whether it is interpretting your string correctly. I know that the Basic Serial Write and Read example in LabVIEW is set this way and you might want to try that.

I am attempting to upload multiple photos on a mac pro from a cd. I have tried holding the "command"button down to select multiple photos but it does not work. Please advise. Thanks,John

why not sort by (name, date, etc) and Click on 1st and Shift-Click on last.
Might work better to copy or import to a project folder.

Printing Options - additional option - "Print Selected"

I would like to see an option in the print window for "Print Selected" as in Windows.
The only choice we have, AFAIK, is to print a single page or the whole enchilada.
If I wish to print a small selection from a large page I have to copy and paste it into a text file and then print that.
It would be handy to simply be able to select an area with the mouse to be printed and print it directly from the print function.

What "higher authorities"? What "security purpose"?
In this process they changed my code as a procedure.Finally they give that java code.they tell to me please fix in apex.
Do these "higher authorities" know anything about APEX? What does the Java code actually do? Have you asked them how their approach is to be integrated into APEX?
There is no reason why a properly written Java stored program cannot be used in APEX, provided that whatever it is doing makes sense in an APEX/web context, and isn't some nonsense like using DBMS_OUTPUT to generate a CSV.
I tried so many ways.But it is not fixed.Different Different errors will occurs.

Displaying an ALV report using a saved layout.

Dear friends
In ALV report there are 2 standard buttons.
One says "select Layout CTRLF9" and another one says "Save Layout CTRLF10".
Using this I can select the layout and save it using some variable.
Now I want to create a field in the main screen so that when
I enter this saved name and run the ALV report, it should show
report using the layout I entered selected (which was saved earlier).
Where will this variable get saved and how can i access this and make it
display using this layout.
Any feed back will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

How to print pdf file in SQL Server Reporting services report using command prompt?

Is there a way to automatically print a SQL Server Reporting services report on command prompt? For eg: We can save a pdf file using rs.exe utility. I want to print a pdf using rs.exe utility. Is it possible? I don't want to install any 3rd party software.

Thanks Simon for replying to my question.
In oracle form, there is oracle command to print the report from command prompt with the help of rwrun.exe
e.g: rwrun.exe REPORT="D:\Test\REP_25\MLA.REP" DESNAME="testprinter" DESTYPE="PRINTER" P_FORMNAME="MLA.FMX" P_SPRACHE="E" P_SPRACHE_NR2="1" P_WHERE_BEDINGUNG="order by land_nr" USERID="test/test.world" PSV_NAME="PSV_DEMO" PSV_JOB_ID="PS$9583" RECURSIVE_LOAD="NO"
BATCH="YES" NONBLOCKSQL="NO" ARRAYSIZE="1" PARAMFORM="NO" ERRFILE="c:\temp\psv16.tmp"<
and to save the report we just need to change DESNAME="c:\temp\OC_100001349.pdf" DESTYPE="FILE" in above command instead of DESNAME="testprinter" DESTYPE="PRINTER".
DESNAME and DESTYPE are the input parameters of the respective report.
In SSRS, we can run the file from the command prompt and save it.
rs -i "C:\Users\pujarswa\Documents\reports\new\LoadReport.rss" -s ww2004760:80/ReportServer_MSSQL -v fileName="C:\Users\pujarswa\Desktop\TipsReportLoad.pdf"
-v reportPath="/TipsReport/LoadListTabular" -t -v format="PDF" -v LandNr=4 -u ap\swati -p test@# -e Exec2005
But we cannot use same command for printing as you said we need to create another script for printing files.
I have gone through the links but I dont want to use Adobe Acrobat Reader exe for printing because client it may not have Adobe Acrobat Reader on their machine.
Also I want to pass a input parameter as type="Printer" to my report which will print directly for me and same I can acheive in command prompt passing type="Printer" fileName="C:\Users\pujarswa\Desktop\TipsReportLoad.pdf"

Using enscript command to print O*F(10.7) reports thru the application on SUN

If anyone one has used enscript command in O*F(10.7) thru Define Print Drivers with parameters like enscript --margins=42:26:14:14 -r -B -fCourier6 -q
-d$PROFILES$.PRINTER -t"$PROFILES$.TITLE"
-n$PROFILES$.CONC_COPIES $PROFILES$.FILENAME on Sun Solaris. We are having problems printing Title on header page even though we are passing the parameters "TITLE" for postscript printing. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

This could be related to the "caret browsing" feature, which moves the cursor through the page when you scroll with the arrow key. Or maybe in this case skips around things in the page.
You can turn that using either:
* F7 key
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General mini-tab > ''uncheck'' the box for "Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages"
Any luck?

New customized report using PLD or QUERY PRINT LAYOUT to show customers onl

I am working with a Software Developing firm as an SAP Consultant.
Please tell me how to create a new customized report displaying various details as required by the client in the report using PLD or Query Print Layout.
Please help me asap.

Hi,
You can create queries using the Query Generator or the Query Wizard tools.
After you have created your own queries, you can link them to a required print layout.
for user reports.Look at:
Tools --> Queries --> Query Print Layout
Set there your query reports.
Printing User-Defined Queries
After you had linked a user-defined query to a user report template, you can now print it
according to its linked print layout.
There are two ways for printing your user-defined queries.
1. Using the Query Print Layout window:
Select from the upper menu Tools 􀃆 Queries 􀃆 Query Print Layout.
Click the Reports tab page.
Click to highlight the required query you would like to print.
Click on the printer icon or select from the upper menu File 􀃆 Print.
The user-defined query is printed according to its linked print layout.
2. Using the Queries Manager window:
Click the Queries Manager icon on the upper tool bar.

Print Selection Criteria-Token in report prepared with CR

Hi,
How to print the Selection Criteria---Specially 'From Date' and 'To Date' for a report prepared with Crystal Report tool to be viewed within SAP Business One 8.8 (The report uses Token Parameters for SBO 8.8 Viewing)
Thanks,
Saikat

Hi Bala,
Ok...So can help me on this.......
The token in my Report is :
Date : Static-Type: Date-Allows Range Values
Within SBO 8.8 displays as Date : From <Date Selection Field> To <Date Selection Field>
Please note its a single token allowing range values.
Formula I am using: {OPOR.DocDate}>={?Date} AND {OPOR.DocDate} <={?Date}
Now I need to print the selected 'From Date' and 'To Date' in the Report.
If there is any other process to do the same then please let me know the same.
Thanks,
Saikat
