Intro

When i was working with several projects; customers are using pre printed invoices for print their bills.For printing invoices i used Crystal Reports. for print particular information on that pre printed invoices i had to waste lots of time with doing alignments. If that pre-printed bill is A4 then its easy for me to set alignments because most of every printer supports A4 papers.(NOT POS PRINTERS). But if the customer select a Paper which is not supports to the printer then i have to waste lots of time to set the paper alignments.

New printers are supporting user to set their own customized paper. But lots of companies still using dot matrix printers for print lots of invoices. It is easy and economical. Most of all Dot matrix printers does not have a feature to customized the paper size.Windows XP has a option to user defined paper on Printer and Faxes in the control panel. Unfortunately some of printers are not supporting this feature.But Luckyly printers like Epson LX-300+ (very popular dot matrix printer) supports customized papers.If the paper size is supports to the printer other things going to be very easy
