Dotmatrix Printer Page size for 8 INCHES width and 5 INCHES height setting.

[Former Member]

Scenario:

I am using EPSON LQ 2180 dot matrix printer with the standard 8 INCHES width and 12 INCHES height printer paper. SAP 4.7 C.

I want to print a MB90 print with the page size of 8 INCHES width and 5 INCHES height. The printer ejects the whole page after the completion of the print.

Rather I want the printer roller to stop the page at midpoint so that I could utilize the lower half of page to print the second MB90 print. This would unable me to print two MB90 prints on the same sheet of paper. Thus cut cost on paper usage by half.

Current Printer settings:

Device Type: Epson LQ – 550, Device Class: Standard printer, Host Spool Access Method: F,

Page format: Portrait: 8IN width and 5IN Height.

Format: X_65_80

I have also done the page settings on the OS level. But still no success on SAP yet.

I have also tried cracking my head in 'DEVICE types -- Print control'.. but..

Any suggestions?????

Thank you,

Pranay

Have you review the setting on the printer itself... i think one of the options on the lineprinters "bios" is that one. just go through the menus... hope you find something.
