Smartforms -Page Skipping Problem in Continue Sheet Printing.....

Former Member — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 04:06:06 GMT

Hi Gurus,

I face problem with multiple page printing in dot matrix printer for purchase order printing.

Here are the details about my requirement

Our client Purchase order pre-printed Paper size Width 303 mm Height 203 mm and continued sheet. I have created a z layout zpoprint for the above size and assigned it in smarforms and select DINA4 transverse in printer. Whenever we printing 2nd page it starts printing after 5 cm. My friends asked me to create a customized page format in server properties in printer. Is there any other way to overcome this issue? Anybody face this problem kindly reply to me.

Hi,

I presume this page skip is because of some line feed statements in the program.

each line feed measuring 1 cm. Pls check your driver program . i faced a similiar program

with PO script and it was a case of line feed and some protect-endprotect statements.

But i presume protect-endprotect will not be used in smartform. Hope this helps

Though you can double check the page layouts of both pages of your smartform, also keep in consideration that using a dot matrix printer to get the output of smartforms will have some impact of the positioning of the print as dot matrix printers are mechanical in nature(wheels are moving!).

Whereas, in laser printers, the whole data is taken, formatted and then sent to print.
