(process: customer receives goods, signs and puts their comments, new orders, corrections on the delivery note - all of it prints through to the copy! Then the copy of the delivery note is removed and brought back to the home office). Printing by Windows driver to the dot matrix printer is much too slow. One of our customers has to print 750 delivery notes daily which actually takes 3,5 hours to print on a very fast dot matrix printer (Tally). By using the Windows driver and a tricky choice of the fonts we can come down to 7 hours for printing, but no minute less! Now, things would be fine, but there's a new requirement to have a preview and producing a .PDF copy of delivery notes. Has any of you done this before? Any hints? Thank you!30WEBDEVen_UShttps://forum.pcsoft.fr/es-ES/pcsoft.us.windev/56388-printing-dot-matrix-printers-directly-with-print-preview/read.awpmoderateur@pcsoft.fr (El moderador)webmaster@pcsoft.fr (El webmaster)guestpcsoft.us.windevhttps://forum.pcsoft.fr/es-ES/pcsoft.us.windev/56388-printing-dot-matrix-printers-directly-with-print-preview-56413/read.awp13 Feb 2016 17:57:00 ZHi Fabrice, thank you for your input!
