Page advancing problem in dotmatrix printing

Former Member — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 09:21:29 GMT

Hi Experts,

We are trying to print 6 X 2 Inch sticker using dotmatrix printer in smartforms,

For this I have defined a page formate assigned it to Device type and under the initialization written the following code

reset

\e\0x40

set line spacing 6 LPI

\e\0x32

set page length to 2 inch (=12 lines at 6 LPI)

\e\0x43\0x0C

print is coming properly in one sticker ie, 6 X 2.

but after printing it is advanding 4.5 sticker, How can I stop this page advancing ?

Note : sticker is in continuous roll.

Regards

Bikas

Hi Bikas,

We are facing similar issue with a custom page format created in SAP (9.5" x 7").

Issue Details – While printing the Smartform output on Line matrix printer, the printer ignores the page format assigned in the device and takes more page break than expected. Looks like it considers Letter/DINA4 page format instead of the custom format designed.

We are using SAPWIN device type and assigned the custom page format to the device type. We are not seeing any difference even after implementing the similar code mentioned above in your thread in "Print Initialization" action.

Please provide your inputs in this regard.

Thanks,

Surya
