Hello ! Friends, I have a customer who prints documents like invoices on dot matrix printer. Since printing fonts (Esc sequence) is for Windows printing, printing is very slow. How can i convert so that it prints document at normal speed on dot matrix printer ? Are there any setup ? I have already assigned Printer to that specific document but it does not solve the problem. Pls. let me know if you have details. Thanks & regards,

hi Bimal, I have also made many reports with dot matrix like shipment note etc. check, may be you are printing in picture mode.
Normaly your printer has some build in fonts. If you use these fonts on your reports, it should go much faster. If you use other fonts, they are printed like you were printing a picture.
Hello ! Ajay, Appreciate your prompt response however i am very new to Navision. Could you pls. explore how can i set printing for Dot matrix printer so that it prints at normal speed on Dot matrix. I faced with other softwares where it allows to change ESC sequence and it sets fonts for Dot matrix. Thanks & regards,

check the orientation of the print , if you print in landscape that will be in graphic mode and it takes a lot of time , ribbon and makes a lot of noise as well. so print in potrait, if your report is in landscape then convert into potrait and change the size of the page (section width)so landscape fit in potrait. i will check my setting and will let u know.
Bimal, please do as Erik says, search for Dot Matrix, and you will find pages and pages of help.
Hi ! David & all friends, I did search but i haven’t found info related to setting Dot Matrix printer on Navision. As per C/SIDE Help, to print on Dot matrix printer set the DeviceFontName available with printer. This will avoid picture mode and you can print at nornal speed and font of Dot Matrix printer. My customer is using EPSON LQ-570 and LQ-580 printer and Navision does not show any available font on ‘DEVICEFONTNAME’ property of ‘Report Designer’. If anybody have details pls. share. Appreciate for your responses. Thanks & regards, Bimal.
