    Hi,

    I have forms that need to print using computer form such as invoice. After I print an invoice, I need to go to the printer to press the load the paper button so that the computer form would be in position. Is there any command in the Active Report 2.0 to command the printer to load the paper in position?

    Regards

    Ken,







    The form should automatically feed to the correct position as long as you are using the correct paper size. Each “Form” should be it’s own page. Once printed, the printer should automatically feed to the next form position, and then start printing. Are you currently using Active Reports for printing these invoices?

    Hi,

    Yes, I print invoices using active report. I don't have any problem printing multiple pages of an invoice after I have set starting point. My problem accure only when an invoice is finish printing and I want to start to print a new invoice without adjusting the starting point. The printout will start print at lower height.

    Ken,







    I am not sure I understand exactly what you are saying. Are you saying the after the invoice prints it is not feeding to the end of the page; which would be the starting point of the next invoice? If you are not currently using the latest build try downloading it here: http://www.datadynamics.com/forums/37/ShowForum.aspx. Also, make sure that you have the latest driver for the printer installed.
