Hello.

Unfortunately, it's impossible.
You could use dot-matrix preview with current font.

Thank you.

Hello.

Unfortunately, it's impossible now.
What font do you want to use there?
If you need this feature, please, send a feature request to support@stimulsoft.com.

Hi Aley,

I want to use some native font like Courier 10 cpi or 8 cpi. Cause now its printing kind of ugly and slow.

I will submit a feature request.

thank you.

Hello.

But we use Courier font in Dot-Matrix preview.
Do you use Dot-Matrix Preview or ordinary Preview?

Thank you.

Hello.

Sorry, maybe we didn't understand you right before.
Please, try to use next method to print your reports.
PrintToDotMatrixPrinter()

Also you could use Dot-Matrix Preview.

To enable necessary font you could use Escape-codes. About what Escape-codes to use, please, refer the manual of your printer.

Thank you.

Hello.

The PrintToDotMatrixPrinter() method print the report in text mode.

Stimulsoft just pass Escape codes to your printer. For information about Escape-codes, please, refer the manual of your printer.

Thank you.
