Tearoff in DOT Matrix Print Report via NAV.

manisharma31 · 2012-10-19

I have developed a classic report which is printed on DOT Matrix printer ,paper size is 9 X 6.
But when the print is finished the paper does not stop at the tearoff set to 6" of the printer.

What has to be done in NAV apart from the printer setting.

I have already setup the paper size in the printer property and saved the form.
I am printing through LAN printer which is local printer of another PC.

Also i cannot find the customized paper size in the report property in NAV, they are all default paper size.

Working on WIN 7 Premiun SP1,NAV 2009 R2.

Ages ago when I had one customer, who did print massive amount of documents on matrix - I just developed a custom report for them. The idea was quite simple - report had no sections, but just created a text file and send this file to matrix printer. I used ESC chars to control everything, and this worked fine for a years. btw, this approach is also a lot faster, as if you print on dot matrix in graphics mode - this is very slow.

Howdy, Stranger!
