Pritn to Laser and Dot Matrix

[Former Member]

Hi

Our client need the functionality to print a invoice to a Laser and Dot Matrix at the same time. The Dot Matrix copy will be for the customer and the laser copy will be printed with barcode for filing purposes. Does anyone knows if this is possible. What we thought of is to use the functionality to create a pdf when adding a invoice SBO and then have a utility to scan the attachement folder and all new document must be picked and printed. Does anyone know where can we find something like this? Thanks

You can print it on both printers at same time from 2 different users by setting laser jet printer as default to one user & dot matirx to another user & also set print document while adding in print preferences.

Hi Lindsay

I haven't test this scenario .may be it can help you.

So far it is a tough job to do what you have request .

What I am thinking is

Go to Administration --System initialization -->Print preference -->A/r invoice --Print when adding document .

This will print to the default .

Then , You can print A/R invoice using print command and select printer you like to print .

So that it looks like one time print even though you are printing two times.

Hope this helps

Hi Lindsay,

To print anything on laser and dot matrix printer at the same time will be a tough job. There are not too much options for you.

My suggestion is: Create two PLD to complete your job

but then the user need to change between pld with every print

Technically, the printer (generally the default printer) is set on the Print layout which is used to print the document..otherwise..you set a specific printer on the template other than the default printer which the document should print to...

Which SBO version are you using?

The thing is yes we can setup a default printer on the pld and select another on the print command, but the dot matrix's layout and the laser layout isn't the same and looks differently. We are use SBO 2007 PL35

You might try looking at the Crystal Wave add-on from Third Wave. It allows you to have multiple layouts that print in sequence. However, you have to create the layouts in Crystal Reports.
