While Printing 

You will have to change format name while printing in invoice using Alt-P. First, you will have to delete the existing format name displayed there; then this imported format name will have to select above imported file name for printing using this new format. You can set the page size for any format by selecting page length in the printing window. 24 is 4 inches (One-third of page), 36 is 6 inches (Half page), 72 is 12 inches (Full page). Page Width should be 79 for 80 column printers and 132 for 132 column printers.


In the Print options window, select: Use Dot Matrix Printer efficiently option. Select Printer Name if it is not to be printed on a default printer. Keep port name blank or set port name to the printer where you want it to be printed. To set tear off on dot matrix printer, use hardware settings of the printer or set zero tear option. Most of the formats follow page length and page width defined in the printing window. By defining page length 36, you can print half page, and by defining page length 72, you can print full page invoice. You can define page length 24 for one third page invoice. Sometimes DDD prints in place of line on dot matrix printer, you can go to system parameters - printers tab and set underline character as '_' (Underscore) to solve this problem.


For half page printing on a laser printer, cut the stationery into half pages and put in paper tray accordingly. Page Length/width may be required to be set according to stationery, e.g. Page Length 66 and Page Width 75 for full A4 page should work properly.


Customization

Invoice formats are editable and can be changed by user/support person/computer operator or even external technical persons. We have provided format editor and format designer options in the utility menu. From format description master, you can generate a design for any existing format by context menu (right-click on the mouse) and then can edit the same in format designer option. After editing, you can again generate format and use the same while printing sales invoice. Most of the pre-printed stationery formats can be designed using format designer option provided in 16.2.18 and later versions. We shall provide another document for help.


Small corrections can be done by the user as well by editing format and saving it in a different name. You should always export format, then make a change and then import format. All imported formats are stored with id >11000. Any change done in format with id 10000 to 11000 will be overwritten by new upgrades.
