Re: Reports 2.5 : Problems when printing in CHARACTER Mode

Ellipse,
You must use a printer definition file. You should already have some demo ones in \ORAWIN\REPORTS25\PRINTERS\*.PRT. Note that these work only in character mode. I keep mine (ones I use) in the same dir as rep's and fmx's.

The manuals have good info on how to build these if you need a custom .prt file.

Good Luck,
-Ian
