Printing on Preprinted form with EPSON LQ300 & EPSON LQ500 dot matrix print

Dear Expert,
im having requirement to print form on preprinted page whose size is 6*9 inches which is smaller than A4 size paper and using EPSON LQ300 & EPSON LQ500 dot mattrix printer. my question is that
1)do i need to create diff.  o/p type for diff printer?
2) also do i need to create page format with 6*9 inches lenghth or what?
if is it so will this thing be created by BASIS person?

When it's continuous paper, the printer is not able to detect "pages", so it must rely on paper dimensions you transmit.
So, you must define new Z device type, Z format type and Z page format with these dimensions.
For this device type, you must assign the Z format type and define "printer initialization" action by indicating paper length (you may copy the actions of an existing continuous format type like INCH11, for the device type you use, and adapt it). For example, we find the following "printer initialization" action for EPESCP/INCH11:
# set page length to 11 inch (=66 lines at 6 LPI)
\e\0x43\0x42

  • 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.

  • Printing of Graphics and Frames ,not coming properly in dot matrix printer

    Hi Experts,
    I have one smartform layout for Good receipt note,have used the Logo and Frames .when i am printing in the Laser printer.everything is k.when i am printing in Dot matrix Printer(OKI Microline 380 24pin printer).the Logo and Frames are missing,but I could able to see the Print Priview Properly.
    Could you give any urgent solution.it is very urgent.
    Thanks in advance.
    regards,
    hpp

    I agree with you that printing of Logo & Framesare not very supportive in Dot Matrix Printer.
    You can ask the Basis consultant to check & change the printer setting & may be it may work, as you have already mentioned that it is OK in Laser Printer. The Dot Matrix printer is currently unable to read the Logo & frame for printing.

  • Is it possible for someone to print a completed form with all the dialog box entries also printing?

    We have a grant application form that applicants will complete. We have tested it by completing the form and noticed that if it is printed, all of the dialog box entries don't print, just what is visible on the form. Any fix for this?

    Excuse if question is not correct it's not depend for me because i'm not an english but french. Thanks!

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Adobe print form on dot matrix printer

    Has anyone tried to print adobe forms into a dot matrix printer i.e. printing multi-part documents. I've read that the device type supported are PostScript, PCL, PDF and ZPL. The help file specifically mentioned that SAPWIN device type won't be supported, but it does not mentioned explecitly weather ASCII device type or device type for dot matrix/impact printer is supported or not.
    I'm still holding up hope that adobe print forms scenario will be able to do this since we are planning to go ahead with 100% adobe form solution.
    Any info would greatly appreciated.

    The supported output formats of ADS are PostScript, PCL, PDF and ZPL. That means that your printer has to support one of the mentioned formats to be supported. So the answer to your question is no.

  • Printing form using dot matrix printer

    Dear experts,
    I have a PO form and when printed using laser printer it works just fine, when use dot matrix printer with continuos form , the form's content started to be printed a bit lower compared to the laser printer, should i adjust the paper size in the se71 ?

    Hi Johannes,
    We have been know to go directly into the printer defintion and adjust the Horizontal and Veritical Shift. This can be found on the Output Attributes in the Additional SAPScript and Smart Form Information area. We give our A4 printers a slight Negative Horizontal and Positive Vertical shift to better center the output on the different paper size.
