Bill Printing

[sudip]

Hello All,

Can anyone suggest me a method for Bill Printing (or Cash Memo printing).

What will be easier, using report designer or hand coded report programs.

Thanks in advance.

With best regards.

IMHO, since it is a single time effort, it will be fine if we do it hard coded.

I suggest a pre-printed format (for laser printer/dot matrix printer) to reduce the printer stationery cost.

I'm using hard-coded forms - too much variants for using report designer...

@...PRINT commands were designed to print at exact page locations despite printer and paper used.

So, in combination with pre-printed forms is a good way to go.

Sadly, here, most business (there are exceptions) are obligated to use 'fiscal printers'. A print device that takes care of the complete job (even invoice numbering). You must connect to it via serial port (newer models via USB) and send to it a set of 'esoteric' commands to generate an invoice.

Sadly, there is not a standard for the commands, so, each brand, has its own command set.

As you can imagine, a terrible nightmare
