Crystal Report paper settings

The crystal report version used in this article: VS2005's own version

The crystal report depends on the paper type, which can be simply understood as the report operation area.

When too many fields cannot be placed on the report, we need to change to a large paper type. Generally, we can use standard paper types such as A4 horizontal and A3.
If A3 doesn't fit, we can also use a larger paper model (generally the maximum width can be up to 91 cm, but it depends on whether the printer supports it)
Of course, sometimes we need to use smaller paper models when making some sample tickets.

Generally, we can select the standard paper type through the following operations.

In design mode, right-click the blank area of the template and choose design from the pop-up menu.

You can set the printing direction and standard paper type on this interface.

For special paper models, you can perform the following operations.

Go to "Control Panel", "printer and fax", and select "server properties" under the "file" menu ], create a new paper "my test paper" on the pop-up Interface"

On the report template,

On this page, click "Printer". On the displayed page, select the printer on the machine and click "properties.

Select "my test paper". Then, the operation area of the Report Template changes to the size of the paper.

(For other versions of the crystal report, you can set a special paper type in the report)

Note:

1: In CS mode, the paper type is set. After development, the same paper type (size and name) must be set on the client to achieve the same effect.
2: In BS mode, you need to set the same paper type (size and name) on the server. It is okay to preview and export the files, but it is not possible for the client to print the files.
