custom form page size
« on: December 10, 2013, 09:52:19 am »
Is there a way to create a custom form page size? I.E. 8.5"w x 3.5"h.  This form is to be used as a tear off form with a continuous feed dot matrix printer.  Also I would like to suppress form feed except for the last page. 

Thanks to all.

Use the properties of the printer instance, which is predeclared in Lazarus if you include
Code: [Select]
uses printers;

Some properties relevant for you might be:
  Canvas, Orientation, PageHeight, PageWidth, PaperSize, XDPI, YDPI

Hi Howard,  Thanks for the reply.  I'm actually looking for a solution from inside of lazreport.  I'm hoping to get all code for this report to execute inside of the report, however when I give up on this I'll look at your suggestion as an alternative, thanks again.
