paper size control

rbuser

Support,

I have difficulty in setting the paper size in my apps. My problem:
1. I have some reports which are printed in 12" or 14" pre-printed form by
Espon LQ1170+ dot matric printer
2. Sometimes the printouts are correct, but sometimes the page break is in
the wrong page length.
3. I already set the printersetup.papersize inside my program.

Can you give a simple demo program to show up how I control the paper size?

Hi Benson, Sorry about the email... wrong button .

Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? Where are you setting the
page length (which event)? Are you printing these reports directly from the
preview or as archives? Are you loading templates before you print your
report?

2. before calling pplist.print.
eg. pplist.PrinterSetup.PaperHeight:=14;
......
pplist.print;
3. The problem happened in calling the report directly from the preview and
archives
4. no template is involved.

Pls. give hints or advices
Benson.

Hi Benson,

When using archives, you will need to assign all printer properties inside
the TppArchiveReader.OnInitializePrinterSetup event or you will not see the
correct results.

Do you have a sample demo program to show how to set the page length?
