Hi All
I know i have asked similar questions before, and my explaining is terrible at times.
I need to print individual slips with customer information and items tracking numbers on a Receipt printer.
Unlike normal reports, a Receipt printer has a page length of about 3600mm. (80mm x 3670mm)
I tried many layouts but it either creates one enormous slip or it makes slips, but the printer does not cut off in between as it does not have a "New Page" function.
I resorted to just creating everything on a Report header with setting the information manually, then loop through the database and print a whole bunch of individual slips.
Even more difficult is i have to change everything to 45 degree angle to create a 'Landscape' receipt slip.
(the 'Landscape Function is disastrous on a receipt printer.)
That brings me to some questions:
1. Is this one-by-one slip the only option for this unique report? Better ideas are most welcome.
2. Rotating a barcode object to 45 degrees renders it un-scannable. Some inputs if you have please.
If i can improve these two, then I am more than halfway there.
Apologies for all the many questions.
