  Hello!
  
  We want to print cash receipts on thermal paper rolls with AR11.
  
  Everything works fine, but we have trouble with the correct paper size setting.
  
  We did not find a solution, that the printer prints only the needed positions and then cuts the paper direct after the footer.

  Do you have any ideas or samples for us, how to handle printing with roll paper at the EPSON TM88??

  Thank you very much.

  Hi Uwe,

  ActiveReports 11 is out of support and we no longer provide support for the same. It is suggested to upgrade to the latest version of ActiveReports for many new features and bug fixes. You may download the latest version of ActiveReports from here Download ActiveReports and try it free for the first 30 days!

  However, there’s no direct way to achieve your requirement for printing with roll paper but you can achieve your requirement by running your report twice. Once to get the overall height of your report and then rerun your report by assigning the updated PaperSize of your report’s ‘Printer.PaperSize’.

  We have attached a sample application using ActiveReports 17 implementing the same for your reference.

  Regards,
