I'm trying to take a print on a Continuous Paper through a Thermal Printer ZP 2844 using Crystal Reports 2008 along with Visual Basic .NET 2008. I've set the page size to 3.00 inches as width & 3.00 inches as height. It prints well when the contents are a few on a single page but it puts gap when printing more than single page. There's no page margins set in crystal reports & the printing setup is the same in Crystal Reports as well as in Printer's Setup. Even in Print Preview of Crystal Report, it shows 2 pages to be printed but there's neither any gap at the end of first page & the start of second page. But! Still, a gap is shown when the report is printed. Here's an example how the print is show:
----------
Product Qty Amount
Item1 1 100
Item2 1 100
[Code]....
You can notice the gap between Item3 & Item4 which is due to next page or page break or so. I've noticed that in Crystal Report Viewer for Web, there's an option of SeparatePages = False which let you have a single/continuous page printing but I've not found any such option in Crystal Report Viewer for Desktop.
I need stop printing and paper feeding in the middle of printing in dot matrix printer.(Like a POS Printer - When wrote 'End Doc' on POS printer can stop paper feeding)
View 4 RepliesA couple of things firstly When I create a new Crystal Reports file (using the built in Crystal Reports in Visual Studio) I create a blank document. I then insert a Text label type text and goto properties and Visual Studio Exits with no rhyme or reason. No error. Anyone experienced this or get any ideas?
Secondly I have a form with a load of text boxes in a column/row arrangement and text labels as column headers. I then want to be able print these in nice view (I have a certain way I have to display the print out.
I have never used Crystal Reports but I thought this would be the way to go about it. Is this right or is there another easy way? If it is can anyone point me to any example (preferablly begginer and basic) that I can read and learn from?
Basically, I am looking for a method on how to preview reports from a datagrid or it can be from the access database which populates the data to the datagrid (then displays this in the datagridview) in vb.net vs 2010.I believe there are two methods using the ReportViewer or using Crystal Reports, but so far, I have no idea how to get them to work. The first idea would be favourable - using the data from a datagridview (which may of already been sorted, filter etc) and be able to produce a report on that.
View 1 RepliesI have a requirement to do a quick print of a form. This form has all kinds of controls and data. The problem is that the form is too wide and the left side of the form gets cut off when printing... when I use the PrintForm power pack control.I tried using bitBlt and it did the same thing. I could not see how to shrink the image to fit.
Also when getting to the Printer Dialog, the printer option to "Shrink to Fit" did not work either.How can I shrink the image? I do not know much about printing and thus printing each control is foreign to me.
I'm learning about printing and have made good progress but there is still one thing I can't understand. I can set the paper size using "papersize" but should I use "paperkind" - is so, how do I use it? When I want to use the standard papersizes(A4, A5 etc) what method is best?

View 3 RepliesAttached is an excel file which I want you to have a look at. Usually the staff fills in this form manually in 2 copies everyday and this is becoming very tedious. So what I was thinking is to design a form with labels (which represent the columns on the excel sheet) and text boxes. Let's say for each 5 records they capture, they can take out a printout on A3 paper like the same format in the excel sheet. I know we can do that directly on the excel sheet but the thing is all the data captured will be used in another application I have developed.
View 1 RepliesI have written a program in VB that sends faxes to my customers. When I test it, the fax machine prints the output on legal paper and I have no idea why. I have checked everything that I can find and I don't see anything in the API to set the paper size. I am setting the body to a PDF file. When I print the PDF file locally, it prints just fine. I have tried other files, output from other programs (i.e. word) and the end result is always the same.
View 2 RepliesI want to print bill on a roll paper using vb.net. The requirements are as follows: The width of the page is 300 pixels or 3 inches. The height of the page is variable, depending on the number of the rows in the datagrid. The page header will have an image. The names of the items could be long, so they should not be chopped, rather print on the next line.
How should I go about it?
In my application i am printing invoices by dot matrix printer. Now I have to implicitly eject extra paper so that i can easily tear it from the perforated line.But for the next invoice it is esential to reverse feed the paper so that the printing starts from the top. The problem is how to reverse feed the paper.Is there any command for it .or simply the printing should start from the beginning of the paper.I am using tvs msp seri---350 paper length is 4 inch

View 2 RepliesI am new to vbExpress. I am working in vb express with MsAccess as database. I have a form with ListView and some comboboxes,textboxes,buttons etc. Now I am at the stage of forming different reports from database and then printing them. Like I want to make a RECEIPT with CompanyName as header, date, time, Serial Number, ItemDescription, Quantity,Price, Amount,Mode of payment. Then I want to generate sales reports like daily sale, weekly sale, monthly sale. The things like that. Definitely I will use SQL statements to bring data from the tables according to the requirements of reports. My question is how I can make and display different reports from the databases and to print them in proper format.

View 3 RepliesI am developing a program in which I add the payments for my bills on a monthly basis. I have the design layout and the logic thinking, but having a little difficulty getting the database codes in place. I have 2 comboboxes that act as drop down boxes (1 lists all 12 months and the other lists the years, only 2009 for now for testing).
My access database has 3 columns (name, dates, amount). The names are pre-populated and the only columns displayed in the datagridview are name and amount.
When I choose a month and year, the datagridview should populate with the amounts entered from that month. I am having trouble debugging which lines of code are not working because there are no errors showing, just seems that it stops running at some point.

View 5 RepliesI have a problem regarding bill printing on roll paper. My printer is Epson LX-300+II, my roll paper is about 3" width, and is used for printing bill/invoices for the customers. The number of items varies.Whenever I finished printing the bill, the printer throws out/ejects the paper, as long as about a letter (11") size. Whatever the ways to achieve this, I just want the printer stop printing/ejecting after the last line, then i can tear off the bill for my customers without wasting paper.
I'm really wondering someone out there could help me.. I have worked hard for this, and searched in internet, but it seems that there's no applicable and clear solution. If the solution is in VB, please give me the code to implement this, or give me a very simple example application.I cannot make a custom size in my printing preference.
