I'm trying to create a KOT for my POS application, everything works fine, but for some reason, there is a weird space at the top of the bill, this space size is fixed 15 cm, if I printed the report from the Main Report View
using visual studio without running the application it's printed normally without spaces, but if I tried to print it from the running application I always get the 15 cm blank space at the top, I tried to print a bill from a different application that I build before its print normally.
I tried different ways while searching online but I couldn't fix the problem.
I'm using this code to print the bill:
KOT Rtp = new KOT();
if (Rtp.DataDefinition.ParameterFields.Count > 0)
{
foreach (ParameterFieldDefinition crDef in Rtp.DataDefinition.ParameterFields)
{
if (crDef.ReportName == string.Empty)
{
object objValue = "16";
Rtp.SetParameterValue(crDef.ParameterFieldName, objValue);
}
}
}
ConnectionInfo crConn = new ConnectionInfo();
crConn.ServerName = Properties.Settings.Default.server;
crConn.DatabaseName = Properties.Settings.Default.database;
crConn.UserID = Properties.Settings.Default.user;
crConn.Password = Properties.Settings.Default.password;
// get the Report Tables
Tables crTables = Rtp.Database.Tables;
// get the Report Tables
_ = Rtp.Database.Tables;
for (int i = 0; i < crTables.Count; i++)
{
Table crTable = crTables[i];
TableLogOnInfo tblInfo = crTable.LogOnInfo;
tblInfo.ConnectionInfo = crConn;
crTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(tblInfo);
}
// then display the Report - here I am using a Crystal Reports Viewer in a Windows Form
//var frm = new Form1();
//frm.CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = Rtp;
//frm.ShowDialog();
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.PrintReportOptions popt = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.PrintReportOptions();
popt.PrinterName = "SGT-88IV Printer(2)";
Rtp.ReportClientDocument.PrintOutputController.PrintReport(popt);
here is the bill I get when printing it from the application :
and here is the bill I get when printing it from Main Report Preview in visuals studio :
I solved my problem by going to the printer settings and change the paper size in advanced options from Printer 80 (72mmx800mm)
to Printer 80 (72mmx210mm)
