Custom Setting DotMatrix

Post by ERP »

Dear Friends, here we are facing a problem that we have to fix the page size in 3 different groups, (normal, 8x10, 6x10). And have to print the document in dot matrix.

Now what is happening is if the size adjusted, the print is in graphics mode. If the print is in dot matrix means page size is taking automatically as A4.

Give me the correct solution to take prints in different size in dot matrix through stimulsoft designs.

There is no paper size in the dot-matrix printer. You couldn't set it in the dot-matrix printer settings.
There is a cpi parameter which could be used. But it is usually set on the printer directly.

Thank you.

Thank u friend.

we are using stimulsoft for designing reports, and all the related coding is doing through VB.Net. Report printing is through dot matrix & Client will use different paper sizes like (height*width) 6*10, 8*10, 12*10. Now what we are facing is, whenever we are trying to take printout as per the sizes, the report automatically converting to Graphics format. Otherwise it will skip the space as size 12*10.

What we are requesting is we have to set the paper height in dotmatrix for StimulSoft Reports through VB.net.

Please explain it with details.

With Regards

There is no page size. There are just symbols and commands that is printed on the page. And besides the size of these symbols could be changed on the printer with its buttons and no application or driver will know about it.
What do you mean under "the report automatically converting to Graphics format"?

Thank you.

Hello.

You should use escape codes to set the end of the page. These codes depends on the printer.
For more information, please, read the '10.8.4 Dot-Matrix and Escape Codes' section of the Stimulsoft Reports Universal User Manual.

Thank you.
