Problem with pritning with dot matrix

Hello evryone,
I need some help. I actually made a straight line with the character '|' to be printed from a dot matrix printer. and It partly prints straight. If possible, Can anyone please provide some help?
Thanks.

Hello  Shiva,
thank you for your reply. Actually Dot Matrix printers do not print borders, bu only charcters. So, if you put a frame around a window or a around a line type in smart form , it simply does not print. So, must use characters to draw line..
actually, i did it manually.. very time consuming but the only solution i got... thanks again for our reply
regards,
devi

  • 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.

  • Problem printing labels on dot-matrix printer

    I am currently using Oracle Reports v 3.0 on an NT network. I need to print labels on an Epson LQ-570+ printer. The user will run a number of reports which will create a file for each location we need to send to. The user will then send 10 - 20 files to the printer at a time. The problem I am having is that since we went to Reports 3.0 on NT if a file has only one label, it will print that label then page forward spitting out 10 blank labels. It then prints the next file. We are using continuous feed labels and are wasting a LOT of labels. I have tried to reset the page size in the properties page of the report but no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    hello, I could not write English, but I will help you
    You could see it in SYSTEM PARAMETERS of reports, in the MODE option, putting the to initial value Character type
    You also have to see the Dflt.prt file, that this located in the C:\ ORAWIN95\ REPORT60\ PRINTERS, the who you control the margins of
    impression in manner [caracter]. They for [default] are 80 Columns and 66 Lines, the
    who you could publish and change the courages
    You count me if I operate you.

  • Printing problem in Dot matrix printer

    Hi all,
    We are planning to use Dot matrix printers for printing through SAP.We do front end printing using Windows OS. I am able to get prints properly if it is a script form. In case of list outputs, printer is printing the text outside the paper.Only half of the text is printing on the continuous stationary. Actually document is to be printed in Landscape format. So printer should print data vertically on the paper,but it's printing horizontally. I have created sparate output device for this printer.My printer is TVS Electronics HD745 24 Pin heavy duty printer. I have assigned OKI341 as device type for this device.Any more settings I need to do to get printing in landscape mode?

  • Problems to print from Flex to a dot matrix printer

    I'm having problems when a try to print from Flex in a dot
    matrix printer. With ink jet printer there's no problem-
    the problem is that it shrinks the printing, and adds a
    column of dots at the end. I mean it splits the page in 2, first
    the shrinked data, and on the other side, a column of dots, i don't
    know if this is a problem between Flex and dot matrix
    printers.

    Airprint Basics: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    Your printer does not appear to be AirPrint capable so you may need to use a software print server that runs on your PC or Mac like http://www.ecamm.com/mac/printopia/.

  • Problem with chinese character for dot matrix epson LQ-1600K III

    Hi All,
    I really runs out of idea about my problem now. The problem is about Print Chinese character to dot matrix printer (Epson LQ-1600K III). I tried to so many device type to solve this issue, looks like the only device type can be use are CNSAPWIN and CNEPSON with CNSONG font type. The others if I print to the printer, the chinese character became # (although in the print preview it`s okay and display correctly).
    Here is the bottleneck if I use CNEPSON:
    - if I have 2 window at the left and right position, if the left window has chinese character, the right window automatically shift right about 1.5 CM, which is damn weird!!! Can somebody help me
    - I tried so many ways to adjust the line size for my detail window (to cater positioning at pre-printed boxes), but looks the font size always become 10pt and line size cannot be adjustable (based on smartstyle).BUT if I used device type epescp2, it can be done!
    Here is the bottleneck if I use CNSAPWIN:
    - I need to create format type in windows and SAP (SPAD). and every PC that use this printer, must define the Paper size ( China Special paper size 12inch)
    - I also think this is not a good idea because as I far as I know this is not the correct way..
    Therefore, if somebody has experience about printer chinese character to dot matrix for Smartform and sapscript..please kindly help me give some advice.
    Do I use the wrong device type?
    Thanks in advance!
    Regards,
    Willy

    Hi friends , we are using the same model ....
    Are you using the chinese version operation system ? because we can print the chinese charaters without problem in LQ 1600KIII .....
    We are using CNSAPWIN device type + Frondend printing access method ....

  • 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.

    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.
    Regards,
    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.

  • 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)...

    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.

  • Problem with checkbox column in matrix

    Hello.
    I have a little problem with checkbox column in matrix.
    Column is binded to the UserData.
    It has ValOn="Y", ValOff="N".
    I use C++. It is wird problem. In matrix I have 10 columns - scrollbar role and if You want see checkbox column, You must role to the right. If this column is on the screen, and I use:
    checkcell->PutChecked(VARIANT_TRUE);
    then the checkbox is cheched, and if the checkbox isn`t on the screen and I use this comment - it nothing happening.
    I tried to use ValOn="Y", PutChecked...
    The problem i solved if the column is on the screen - if the column is first in matrix or second, but if it`s last I have a big problem.
    My column with checkbox is not editable, but I tried to make it editable, check it, and then make it uneditable - the same efect.
    How can I solve it ?
    Sorry for my english.
    Kamil Wydra

    Hello Kamil,
    I am not sure about your problem, but here is an example of how to use checkbox in UI API.
    First, create the matrix with checkbox column in Screen painter, and the output is an xml file, like this. Type as 121 indicates that it is a check box.
    - <column AffectsFormMode="0" backcolor="-1" description="" disp_desc="0" editable="0" right_just="0" title="Rented" type="121" uid="Rented" val_off="N" val_on="Y" visible="1" width="41">
      <databind alias="U_RENTED" databound="1" table="@VIDS" />
      <ExtendedObject />
    Second, bind the column to table from DB. This is a bug of 2004 Screen Painter, so if you are using 2005 Screen Painter, there is no problem.
    Third, when you open the form, you can check and uncheck the cell.
    BTW, please set the editable of the column to true.
    Hope this helps,
    Nick

  • 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.

Maybe you are looking for
