NAV 2013 Report Roll paper

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by AbduTeeyech 428

Hi,

My report works as A4, I am printing it in Roll paper (Alpha-3R printer).

Alignments are good, but it prints as pages in roll paper.

Report properties window does not have roll paper option for page setup.

Anybody guide me..

Regards,

Abdul Rahman

    Hi,

    I guess you need to design the report layout according to roll paper dimensions manually from RDLC/Classic Layout.

    Hi Abdul,

    As my experience, when design report with roll paper:

    - Width: set report width equal to paper width.

    - Height: set report height is not important as it is roll paper. Printer automatically cuts paper when all data printed out. You may adjust blank at the bottom of report to have desired space per sheet.

    Please check the specification of the paper width & height on the printer manual and design it accordingly.

    Hi Zaid, Khoa, Manish,

    Thank you, rdlc report width is set properly (3"), and height ignored as default.

    And, in printer properties, paper type= rollpaper.

    I tried changing the height property in rdlc to 5", 6" etc, still no help.

    And, now, I found that if I add a table into the rdlc, it shows one page in preview, and while printing, it prints 2 pages(second page blank). sames happens even if I try to export the preview to pdf(2 pages). If remove the existing table in rdlc, then it is fine. 2 pages prints even if I delete the existing table and added a new empty table(without dataset)

    any technique on this to remove blank page ?.

    Hi,

    You need to check the following:

    1. Total size of (Body Width + left margin+ right margin) should be <= Page width

    2. Total height of (Header + Body height+Footer+Top margin+bottom margin) should be <= Page height

    Hi Abdul,

    It looks like the page width and height set are exceeding the actual roll paper size. Take the measurement of the roll paper and set the measurement in the report accordingly also check for padding.

    Hi Amol, Tina, Chris, Thank you.

    Now, printing 2 pages is fixed by setting the width here and there.

    but, for the roll paper, what there is no height right? so how I may set height in rdlc?. In the preview page, page setup shows paper as 'roll paper' but still it prints as A4.

    And, I have one more query on this report, that, My report data set contains a create items header and line table. It is grouped in the rdlc and works fine. But, If I add 'POS terminal receipt text' table and 'receipt text' column in dynamics design, the report prints blank line in create items line table, even without adding receipt text data items to the rdlc layout !.

    Me a beginner to rdlc layout, something somewhere missing,

    If I remove POS Receipt Text data item and its columns from the nav report design, report prints good.

    Hi

    Click on the DataItem 'POS terminal receipt text' and in the property set PrintOnlyIfDetails to yes and check once.

    Hi,

    You can hide extra blank rows using the following methods:

    1. You need to go to the 'Row visibility' of your details row of the table.

    8865.Report1.png

    Select 'Show or hide based on an expression'.

    8865.Report1.png

    Now enter the expression based on which the row must be hidden.

    =Fields!FieldName.Value=""

    Enter the name of the field based on which the row should be hidden.

    7317.report-2.png

    Like in your case it may be =Fields!ReceiptTextField.Value="" or some other field you can select based on which blank lines should not be displayed.

    2. Another way is in OnAfterGetRecordTrigger of your POS terminal receipt text' table you can add the following condition:

    IF YourField='' then

    CurrReport.SKIP;

    3. Go to Row visibility->Show or hide based on an expression as I have shown in step 1 and write the following

    =IsNothing(Fields!YourFieldName.Value)
