Custom Page Size on Dot-Matrix Report

carpe_diem

Hi,

i use dot matrix printer and continuous paper. i want to set custom page size in a dot matrix report with centimeters. When i set to DotMatrixReport property True, page size seems like :

width : 58 chr
Height : 33 chr

i couldn't set exact custom size so printer don't stop after the page, continue feeding.

PS : i add custom a page and do settings in dot matrix printer.

Thanks.

Witha dot-matrix printer I have always worked in lines per page and characters per line. The printer can be set up to have a corresponding form length in lines.
IMO the secret is to set up the printer programmatically for what you want. The report template does this in term of pitch but not for the page length.
When I print a report it is always preceded by a series of printer control commands. This makes sure that other application which may have also used the printer have not messed up its settings.
