Hi !
There must be some particular settings for printing to thermal printer like Datecs ESC/POS Printer EP-50 ?
I have:
Unlimited Height=True
Page Height=3
Page Width=4
Paper size=Custom
Margins=0.1,0.1,0,0.1

I know nothing about Font.

Setting Unlimited Height=True seems to activate some watermark for page delimitation,as in image,it is possible to deactivate this ?



My StimulReport version :2010.3.810 (16 Nov 2010)


Thanks for any clue.

I use the Report Designer. I believe you can disable the watermark in the report settings. Check the properties pane for the page and then set the watermark to false. Also check the page tab. I posted some images from the report designer that might help you.

Thanks Mike but it doesn't work,it seems to be auto watermark,also there is page separator,look in the image the blue line and dots.

Hello, Mike.

The inscription is output only in preview and it will not be output on the paper.

Thank you.

Thanks Andrew,am I missing something but this watermark is covering preview data,can be deactivated?



Thanks.

Hi.
I need help with the post above and I have another big problem printing to this type of printer:
printer : Datecs ESC/POS Printer EP-50 ,XP Sp3
Printing normal with this code :

StiViewerControl1.Report.Print()

gives a strange printing,data seems to be italic or something,this is a scan image of printed paper :

I also tested with PrintDocument and the text is printed fine,so the driver is ok:

e.Graphics.DrawString("--------------------------------------------------------------------", New Font(Me.Font.FontFamily, 8, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, 10, 90)
e.Graphics.DrawString("TelNo: ", New Font(Me.Font.FontFamily, 8, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, 10, 100)
e.Graphics.DrawString("Name: ", New Font(Me.Font.FontFamily, 8, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, 10, 110)
e.Graphics.DrawString("Area: ", New Font(Me.Font.FontFamily, 8, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, 10, 120)

Printing this way

StiViewerControl1.Report.PrintToDotMatrixPrinter()

Text location is ok but I can see lots of "???????" a vertica line is something like this "???????????????????????"
Text "Cantitate" is printed on 2 lines : "? Canti ?" (first line) and "? tate ?" (second ),text "Nota" is printed "No2a"

:dumb:

I've sent a sample report to support.
Thanks and please help me with this !!!!!

Ok! Thank you.

Thanks you too,
Also data sample sent,I need urgent answer,if I can't do this with Stimul report I'll do it with PrintDocument

I want something simple like in this image :


Thanks

For printing we use standard facilities of .NET Framework.
Does this problem occur on all reports or only on some of them?

Please try to set the BorderType to Simple.

P.S. Also please delete the following components: Text12, Text31, Text45. This components is outside the page and add unnecessary segments to the report.

Thank you.

Hi Ivan
I have 2 reports,the same problem for all.
Where is that BorderType property ???
What king of font should I use to get text like this :
?
Please also give me an advice with the problem in this picture :

I found documentation for that printer,there are some example using escape sequence,
I saw this : http://stimulsoft.helpserve.com/index.p ... icleid=349

Could I use escape sequenc like documentation ?
LPRINT CHR$(&H1B) + “!” + CHR$(&H00) + “H” ;
LPRINT CHR$(&H1B) + “!” + CHR$(&H01) + “H” ;
LPRINT CHR$(&H1B) + “!” + CHR$(&H08) + “H” ;
LPRINT CHR$(&H1B) + “!” + CHR$(&H10) + “H” ;
LPRINT CHR$(&H1B) + “!” + CHR$(&H20) + “H” ;
LPRINT CHR$(&H1B) + “!” + CHR$(&HB9) + “H” ;
LPRINT CHR$(&HA) ;
