Creating Text files for printing on dot matrix printer.

[raja_s_patil]

Hello,

 

I am judging possibility of using jasper report for creating Text file report exports

suitable for printing on dot matrix printer. Assume paper size is 8.5" x 12.0"

normal printer grid is 10 Chars/inch horizontally and 6 lines/inch vertically.

which means each character will be 0.1" x 1/6".

iReport has resolution of 75px/inch

so the character size converted to pixel is 7.5px x 75/6px

but we can mention x,y,w,h of element in whole numbers then how to tackle this issue ?

I am sure, since jasper report is being used so widely there is some work around to this issue

can somebody point me out that work around ?

 

Similarly while designing the report how can I set grid lines according to this character grid

so that text export will be easy
