Reports6i:Developing reports of different size(Pre-Printed Stationary)

[Krishna751204]

Dear All,

I am using Reports 6i. I want to generate reports of page size 3.5" (height), 11.5"(width). I modified the layout sections width and height properties.

I am printing reports on continuous Pre-printed stationary with dot matrix printer.

After printing first record, the continuous stationary is skipping 3 records space(It is taking printer portrait height and width setting) and after that the next record is printing.

What are the settings to be modify to avoide the skipping of 3 records space in the stationary.

Looking for your help/suggestions

Does your native printer driver recognize the 3.5 x 11.5 paper? If not, you will probably have to set the report page size to one of the standard sizes recognized by the printer, and to customize the actual size of the report within the standard page by resizing Margins (menu: View-->Layout Section-->Edit Margin, or Margin button.)
Also you may try to generate the report to PDF and print from there. Acrobat handles printing much better then Oracle Reports.

Thanks for the information. The problem is solved by converting into character mode report and setting the layour section. I am generating *.PRN file and using host commond we are sending the output to the printer.

Thanks to all.
