How to print without ejecting paper.

[Mel Cruise]

Masters,

I'm developing a check printing program and my problem is that everytime I print one check, the printer ejects a lot of the continous checks. My question is, how do you print without ejecting a whole lot of the continous form paper using dot matrix printer? BTW, I initialy declared the custom size of the check (Printer.Papersize) but this did not work. Thanks in advance for help. - Mel

Here's my problematic source code:

Printer.Scalemode = vbInches
Printer.Width = 7 'but always returns 1440
Printer.Height = 4 ' but always returns 720

This is why, the printer ejects so much paper when in fact, I just want to eject the the exact size of the check.

If you are using crystal reports, then have you tried setting the paper width and height

Have you tried


Printer.Print "Your details your details your details"
Printer.Print " "
Printer.Print " "
Printer.Print " "
Printer.Print " "
Printer.Print " "
Printer.Print " "
Printer.Print " "
Printer.Print " "
Printer.Print " "
Printer.Print " "

(as many print lines as required to advance to the next top of form)

WITHOUT issuing a Printer.EndDoc statement -
ie, you are controlling the form advance with a line count



Not sure what effect this will have also

Have you tried setting

Printer.ScaleMode = vbInches
Printer.ScaleWidth = 7
Printer.ScaleHeight = 4

And then printing your form


(Sorry don't have a dot matrix printer available for testing)

without ejecting paper in dot matrix you use the following code

open "lpt1" for output as #1

print #1 , "==================================="
print #1, " TEST PAGE "
print #1, " "
print #1, " ==================================

close #1


test this close

1. Is it possible to print in USB DOT Matrix Printer ?
2. Is it possible to change font size font style for different lines ?

You would need to use control codes for the printer in question if you are using that method
