Print on continuous paper

2005-03-02 05:13

Hello Jasper-Community.

I want to print some reports on continuous paper with a size of w=210mm and h=105mm.

I have defined this size in the jasper design file (jrxml). But when I try to print the reports the printer always uses A4 format.

 

I want to print the reports without a printer dialog so the user can?t configure the printer.

I know that this must be possible with the printer attributes (like MediaSizeName) but I?m not capable of doing it.

 

Does someone has a example on how to print on custom paper sizes and can post some code snippets.

 

Best regards.

Snowghost

I'm just interested in getting HTML output to not be 'paged'.

i dunno about printing on continuous paper.. but u can set the print dialog to dissappear with the following method:

JasperPrintManager.printReport(jasperPrint,false);

Thanks for your answers.

I?ve already tried to call the printer without the printer dialog. The printer is also configured to use the paper format with a height of 105mm. Unfortunately, the printer always prints feeds the paper more than this size.

 

I can?t believe that no one else has this problem...

Maybe the project leader Teodor Danciu can give me some hints...

 

All replies a really would be appreciated.

actually yes, others have had the problem... I had it, just never got it to work and moved on to non continuos paper.... My problem was with printing labels on continuos paper... Tho i don't need this anymore, it sure would be nice to know it's possible and how...

 Yes I have the same problem, The only solution that I find is set up the properties on the printer, but I could'nt set up by jasper reports

 Hi, 

Maybe you could use "Ignore pagination" property. It's inside Jasper Report Parameters: 

http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/api/net/sf/jasperreports/engine/JRParameter.html

 

IS_IGNORE_PAGINATION

static final java.lang.String IS_IGNORE_PAGINATION[/code]

Whether to use pagination.

If set to true the report will be generated on one long page.

 

See Also:

Constant Field Values

This way, the report won't be paginated and I guess you could print on continuous paper. 

Hope this helps.

Regards.
