Problem with countinuous paper printing in dot matrix printer

Hi All,
  I have problem with dot matrix printer (Devise Type EPESCP) while printing continuos printing. If  i am printing 2 or more than that prints at a time, 2nd page is printing 5 lines up.
I have developed one smartform for this and i have used A4 size page format.
I have tried to change the Printer initialization code to 86 lines for DINA4.  Still no change in continuous printing.
     Printer initialization
     Reset after exit
     Cover page
     First Page
     Start of even page
     Start of odd page
     Start of page
     End of first page
     End of even page
     End of odd page
     End of page
     Start of line on an even page
     Start of line on an odd page
     Start of line
     End of line on an even page
     End of line on odd page
     End of line
Printer initialization
# reset
\e\0x40
# select character table 3 -> PC 437 character set
\e\0x74\0x03
# set line spacing 6 LPI
\e\0x32
# set page length 86 lines
\e\0x43\0x46
# cancel bottom margin
\e\0x4F
# set left margin to 0
\e\0x6C\0x00
# select LQ quality
\e\0x78\0x01
# select non-proportional spacing
\e\0x70\0x00
Can any one help me.
Thanks,
Vishnu

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

  • 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 in Dot Matrix Printer

    Hi to all,
      As we know that the dos matrix printer supports dos prompt and thus printing speed and 
    life of the printing head is comparatively more than what we print the same in graphical format.
      So when I tried to print from SAP Bone in dot matrix printer, the printing speed is very slow and quality of printout is not good enough.
      Any clarifications on this regard would prove very helpful to me.
    Regards,

    Do you use one of this printer types:
    Dot Matrix, Printer, Needle Printer, Citizen ProDot 300 , Oki Microline
    , Epson FX880, Epson FX890 ?
    Here the stepwise I have tried :
    In order to print using Dot Matrix printers, follow the below
    instructions:
       1. Run SAP Business One.
       2. Click the upper menu 'File' and select 'Page Setup'.
       3. The Print Setup window opens. Under 'Paper', in the field 'Size', select 'Letter' from the drop down menu.
       4. Click OK to confirm your selection.
       5. On your desktop, click Start => Settings => Printers.
       6. Right click on the required Dot Matrix printer and select 'Printing Preferences...'.
       7. Click the 'Paper/Quality' tab page and click the 'Advanced' pushbutton.
       8. Under'Paper/Output'=> 'Paper Size', click on the underlined paper size(e.g. A4) and select 'Letter' from the drop down menu.
    Note that if you leave the value 'A4', each page will be spreaded over 2 pages when printing using Dot Matrix printers.
       1. Under 'Graphic'=> 'Print Quality', click on the underlined value (e.g. 230X250 dots per inch) and select '120X144 dots per inch' from thedrop down menu.
    Note that in case the value '120X144' is not available you should select a similar value from the list.
    After you do the stepwise, I am sure there will no problem any more. The slowly printing mostly caused by printer type and your hardware specifications for example your LAN, etc..
    good luck...

  • Draft / fast Printing on Dot Matrix Printer(s) from Windows

    Dear all,
    we need to print all documents in Draft / fast Printing on Dot Matrix Printer(s). how we can print quick draft mode. we are using SAP PL43. from where we can download draft 10cpi fonts.
    Regds,

    Draft mode is not by font.  It is a specific printer mode.  If you can not manually setup the mode, B1 may not have any abilities to print in this mode.

  • Problem printing on dot-matrix printer with continuous paper

    Post Author: kdebruyckere
    CA Forum: .NET
    Hi,
    We're currently developping an .net application for a customer of ours in VS2005 (c#). I used crystal reports for VS2005 to create an invoice.
    The invoices have to be printed on a dot-matrix printer with continuous paper (Brother M-4318). When an invoice is only one page long, there's no problem. Even when printing several sigle-page invoices after another, all goes fine. The problem occurs when an invoice is more then one page longe. The first page comes out correctly, but on the following pages everything moves ca. 3 mm upwards (3 mm on the second page, 6 mm on the third page, and so on...). On the report 'Design > Printer Setup', I selected the right printer, the right paper size, ... On the report there's a page header (consisting of two sections), and there's a page footer that is only printed on the last page, but there are no report header and no report footer.
    I can not figure out what seems to be the problem. Has anyone else had this or a similar problem before? If so, please let me know. Any suggestions are welcome.
    thx

    Continuous paper is a little bit longer than normal A4 paper. I found only one way to set it: ReportDocument.PrintOptions.PaperSize =CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize.PaperFanfoldStdGermanI had no success, setting continuous papersize by printer setup.  ... waiting for CustomPaperSize-Property (like CustomPaperSource)...

  • SAPSCRIPT problem in printing on Dot Matrix Printer

    Hi!
    I have a SAPSCRIPT Form with page format INCH12. The SAPSCRIPT output is displayed properly in print preview. But when it is sent for printing on the Dot matrix printer the first three lines of the second page are printed on the first page at the bottom. Paper size is also 12INCH. I tried adjusting all the windows and putting blank lines. I also gave /: NEW-PAGE command. But it did not solve the problem.
    I am not able to identify where exactly the problem is? Is it in the SAPSCRIPT or in printer settings.
    If anyone had faced similar problem and was able to solve it then please reply.

    Hi
    if it is possible try to print the same in another printer and confirm the problem
    no doubt certain printers may create such problems while printing the output
    so to confirm the problem try with other printer.

    hi,
    Have you customized PLD according to paper size ?
    Check whether you customized fields in start of report area ? If yes then it will be printed
    only on first page.

  • Crystal reports printing in dot matrix printer

    I'm using Crystal Reports 2008 with Visual Basic.Net 2008. The problem is that when i print the report in a laser printer, everything is good, but when i used dot matrix printer (like Epson LX 300+), reports is printed smaller than original, doesn't matter if i see good in preview. This is an Asp.Net web form.
    How can i fix this problem

    1) Make sure you have the latest CR Service Pack:
    SP4 https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100008782452011E/cr2008sp4.exe
    SP4 MSI https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100008782532011E/cr2008sp4_redist.zip
    SP4 MSM https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100008782522011E/cr2008sp4_mm.zip
    2) Make sure you have the latest updates for the printer driver
    3) Make sure the printer driver is Unicode compliant
    4) Experiment with the "No Printer" option and Dissociate Formatting Page Size and Printer Paper Size option
    5) Compare print from the CR designer to the app print. Do you see the same issue with both?

  • Sales invoice Smartform printing in dot matrix printer in sucession

    Dear all,
    I am trying to Print Sales invoice on Dot matrix Printer.
    My First Invoice is printed ok, but if i try to print second invoice without manually adjusting the paper the alignment on printer goes haywiered.
    Do we have some option in smartform where we can trigger new page command.
    Regards,
    Gaurav Sood

    Hi Amiya,
    you need to check the paperformat which is used. I'm pretty sure that there is a wrong paperformat selected. The supported paperformats are published in the official documentation of the printer-model.

  • Page not printing on Dot Matrix Printer

    Dear Experts,
    I had requirment to print the PO layout on a stationary which is bigger than a4 and bit lesser than a3
    I found that page as 370(Width) and 295(hight). So according to it I created a new page format in SAP coz I didnt have any page format near to it. For setting up the new page format I did these steps:
    1) Page Format
    2) Format Types
    3) Device Types.
    All these are done. also I have attached my Z smartform in the NEU output type in NACE.
    Now when I excute SF and try to print that its not getting triggering on the printer.
    I have taken printer as LP01.
    Please suggest. Where I am wrong.
    -=Soni=-

    Hi,
    You need to assign the created page format to the device type used. Which device type is defined in output device LP01? Also if it is a device type with Line Printer Driver II, you also need to add the commands in the Printer Initialization action of the page format within the device type with commands to tell the printer the length of the page.

  • Crystal Report printing on dot-matrix printer

    Hello,
    I've developed an application using VB.NET and Crystal Reports in VS2008. The report generated gets printed correctly on modern laser or inkjet printers. However, the entire formatting gets affected when I print these reports on dot matrix printer. Apart from that. the print speed is very slow. I tried exporting the report to PDF, DOC and other formats - but no solution. There was Export to Text function, which is not working in Crystal Reports now.
    After a research on this issue, I found out few links to some solutions - which actually doesn't work. These links are as follows:
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/vscrystalreports/thread/e24a8084-ad53-48bc-a7d5-065ef82636ac
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vscrystalreports/thread/dd506c66-4cdc-48a7-9fa8-2c6f14daef24/ (Same issue in C#)
    I've seen some software, in which, when Print on Dot Matrix (custom menu option) is selected, data is sent to DOS mode and reports are printed from DOS mode.
    Is there any solution for this? OR DOS mode is the only solution?
    This is high priority issue. Even though we're moving ahead in IT industry, govt. still depend on 4 color dot matrix printer reports.
    Waiting for solution
