Reports for dot matrix printers in character mode 17 cpi

Hi,
I want to know how to develop reports to be printed in dot matrix printers
in character mode 17 cpi using BI Publisher 11g.
There is a guide available that can guide me?
How to print to a printer connected to a client machine?
How to print to a printer connected to a server machine?
Can someone help me?
Thank you,
Ricardo Cesar

Hi all,
This is to inform that I have myself found the solution. It is possible to print matrix report in condensed mode. The method for printing is same as for any other report. The mistake I made was not checking whether the .prt file is getting referred correctly. The DESFORMAT system parameter was getting populated through the calling form. By referring to the correct .prt file the problem got fixed.
Regards,
Jayram

  • Output Device settings for Dot Matrix Printers.

    Hi Experts,
    I've made a page format according to Dot Matrix paper.But at that time of print,system is showing an error message that your output device is not support to this format.
    So,how to define Dot Matrix Printer Setting (Wep LQ DSI 5235) in SPAD?
    Regards,
    Prashant Sharma.

    Hi Prashant,
    I believe that the page format that you are using in the SPAD for the Output device must have configured with the Device Type as well.
    Click on the full administration in the SPAD and then attach the page format to the device type.
    Might this will fix your issue.
    Pleasce check the reference link:

  • Use dot matrix printers for printing text reports in Reports 10g

    In Forms 6i, customers had the option to use dot matrix printers for printing text reports.
    I believe, from 9i onwards, text based reports aren’t supported and instead HTML/PDF,DOC,RTF reports are supported which are not text based and use modern day printers.
    Is it still possible to use text printers ??

  • Line Matrix / Dot Matrix Printers and Reporting Tools

    Hi,
    Recently i came across with a P7000 Line Matrix Printer. I need to take out more then 2000 pages at the end on each month.
    Previously here people were used to to send printout directly from FoxPro (yes that right!). That time all the reports come out from Line Matrix printer very fast and text are not distorted. And header was still in 'Bold' that remind me old DOS days.
    In most of the reporting tools that I used, all the text characters are distorted and the printouts take longer time 'n toner to came out, because they prints in grafix mode.
    Please let me know the Reporting tools that could handle/use the the dot matrix printers fonts and styles.

    I have worked with Reports 3.0 earlier and that was pretty fast with our dot matrix printer.
    AFAIR, you need to use Dot-matrix-happy fonts for the speed to be acceptable.

  • Text Format Report to Dot Matrix Printer

    Hi,
    I would like to know how do I output my reports to dot matrix printer. In this way I need to output the report from Report Server (in text format) and send it to the dot matrix printer.
    If I send the report in PDF or JSP format, then the printing process will be slow as PDF or JSP format may contains some graphical objects. The printing process will be faster if the report is in text format.
    How do I output the report from the Report Server in text format to the dot matrix printer?
    Cheers

  • Dot-Matrix Printers configuration.

    Hi All,
    Anybody has any documents on these (weired) Dot Matrix printers configuration. Am working on Japanese characters and the output of the printer behaves weiredly for 1 byte characrers and 2 byte charactre. So when I try to print using the same Layout Set (SAPScript), I get different positioning of the fields depending upon the bytes of characters.
    So I want to know and would love to have the information for Dot Matrix problems and their resolutions in SDN.
    Thanks
    Anand

    Is anyone having a idea of how to configure the Dot-Matrix printer with oracle Apps andFollow the same procedure of setting up any other printer (setup the printer at the OS level, register the printer in the application, and restart the CM).

  • Portrait on 14" width by 11" length continuous feed paper for Dot Matrix printer.

    Hello,
    I am trying to set the properties of a Report Builder 3.0 form for Portrait orientation with 14" width by 11" length continuous form.  The report will print on a high speed dot matrix printer.  My problem is when I change the report property
    to 14" width by 11" length, Report Builder 3.0 automatically changes the Orientation to Landscape!  I want it Portrait on 14"x11" paper!
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi CRC111,
    According to your description, when printing reports in dot matrix printer, it can't keep the Portrait in report property. Right?
    In Reporting Services, it supports printing in a dot matrix printer. However, the dot matrix print is quite different from regular printers. It has reported it can't accept the page layout(landscape and Portrait). In this scenario, we suggest you export
    the report into PDF/TIFF, then print it in dot matrix printer. Please refer to the links below:
    SSRS Printing to Dot matrix printer
    Reporting by using Dot Matrix Printer
    report properties for dotmatrix report in SSRS
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
    Best Regards,

    Hi Sreesudha,
    I have used three different line types for the main window.
    LTYPE1(Header) : For printing the column heading along with the title for consignor address.
    LTYPE2(Main Area) : For printing the line items detail. For the first line, I have to print Material Description and chapter Id and if the same    material exists for the second line item, then it should not be printed, so I have written condition for not printing it.
    LTYPE3(Footer) : For printing the footer with the net and gross weight details.
    And for paragraph format, I have used the custom Para. Format only.
    Suggest me ASAP.

  • Crystal Report speed problem on dot matrix printers

    We are attempting to print marketing documents (sales orders) to a dot matrix printer using Crystal Reports. All the add-ons for B1 do this using the crystal report viewer which causes crystal to send true type fonts to the printer, making it very slow. We can run the crystal reports in draft print mode outside of B1, and the performance is good. Is there a way to get the same performance in B1 using Crystal?
    All solutions we have found will require us to launch Crystal reports and have the end user enter parameters, using a link off the application menu works this way. But we are looking for a better solution to print to the dot matrix printer faster.
    Thanks

    Hi Peter,
    When you are printing it from b1 make all the font to the regular type ( not like bold are italic) like that then it will be some how faster...

  • 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 ....
