Hi,

How do I use Dot matrix native font ?


Thank you.

Hello.

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

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.

I am not doing a preview.

The output is send directly to the printer.

Hello.

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

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.
