How to Adjust the Paper Format Within TFORMer

How to Adjust the Paper Format Within TFORMer

For printing through Windows printer drivers, the size of the output medium is retrieved from the printer driver. For the built-in output formats like PostScript, Image, PDF and ZPLII the paper formats are retrieved from the page settings in the layout, from the print options or from the default settings in the TFORMer.xml file.

Starting with TFORMer 7.5 there is the possibility to define a custom media size directly in the page settings. In earlier versions it was not possible to declare a specific paper format directly in the report. For users of the SDK, the media size can also be set dynamically via SDK Print Options.

On demand you can choose different formats through tray selection (see TFORMer Designer manual, tray selection for details).

In TFORMer Designer you have several layout options (e.g. rows=auto or fixed, columns=auto or fixed, height=auto or fixed, etc) - that means through the report properties it is possible to auto-adjust the label to the size of the output media or to use fixed values (independent of output medium).

If the Designer prints correctly but TFPrint (or TFORMer SDK) does not, there may be different (paper format) settings in the Windows printer driver for Preferences and Defaults.

Make sure that both section in the printer driver properties contain the same settings:

  • Tab General ➔ Button Printing Preferences.
  • Tab Advanced ➔ Button Printing defaults.

Make every label, code and scan work the first time.
