NIReport and spooled (rolled) paper

[jumbojetjames]

hi all,

using NIreport I have the possibility to select much various formats of paper. but I dont find any kind of rolled paper, in my software I use a 58 mm printer with a paper-roll.

NiReport works fine, but after printing all the text and graphics it runs till an imaginary paper-end. the result is an large paper-comsumption.

any idea?

best regards from hot germnany

Hi Simon,

so you're using the Report Generation Toolkit with CVI, right? First of all:
>> Which version of CVI are you using?
>> Which version go the Report Generation Toolkit are you using?
>> What functions are you currently using to print your text/graphics?
>> Which parameters did us specify for your functions?

Please answer these questions, so I can be of service.

Bye

hallo daniel,

ok, I use:

-->CVI 8.0.1
-->the included NIReport- Library

and build my Report most by using:

-->NIReport_AppendLine()
-->NIReport_AppendImageFile()

and print it out by using:

-->NIReport_Print()

best regards

Hi Simon,

what's the PaperSize your currently using via NIReport_SetReportAttribute (or just the default)?
I checked out the different paper formats, and as you said there is no constant that would apply to your format. I also looked for the definition of the different formats, but they are locked into a DLL. So I don't see an option to select (create) another format that would fit yours.
Did you already try to set the format to the smallest available one? Does changing the formats effect your prints?

hi,

the paper-format I did not set, so I think the default is used. The problem was the footer-line. Now I dont use this and the print stops after the last histogram to print. Think its a solution.

thanks and best regards
