Printing report

Former Member — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 10:16:17 GMT

hi,

I have a scenario like when we print a report in Laser printer it is appearing fine, but when we print it in a Dot Matrix printer it is not so visible and no proper alligment, What would be the reason and how to over come this.

regards,

Prabhu

It is purely the Printer mistake, not the program mistake or ABAP person fault

Ask your basis person to configure that printer alos similar to the printer settings in which it is coming fine

We come across such types of problems in some printers

On laser printer, the whole image of o/p is built in memory, and then printed.

Whereas, in DOT matrix printer, its mechanical and each line needs to be printed and the page needs to move ahead, since it is mechanical, the o/p of laser and dot matrix will vary a little bit in alignment.

Hi Prabhu,

I had encountered a similar problem before and it was solely due to the printer.

U will also notice that a uline command also doesnt work on such a printer.

So ur alignment problem is totally due to this.

So dont worry and simply change ur printer.
