Receipt printers & lazareports some questions.
« on: March 06, 2026, 01:45:14 pm »
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.

-Peter

Ok, a loop with a filter seem to make it much easier.
I have placed the barcode normally. they will jsut have to turn the slip and scan it...   :D
