Barcode printing for barcode printer page setup in crystal report - crystal-reports

i have seen many example's on stack overflow but i am not getting what i want. I want to print barcode in barcode printer with 2*0.5 size. i want to setup the crystal report detail section such a way that when the printing starts the barcode printer roll will start printing the multiple barcode
i tried to make the section 3 of crystal report "format with multiple column" and set the width and height of the report but it allows me either to print across and down or down and across but i want the report to be in a single column
i am really tired of searching now so i have posted this question hope i will get the answer and code asap
thank you

try suppressing headers and footers and re-size details section to 2*05, place your bar-code there. Then go to File -> Page Setup and check No Printer and try printing your report again. It should create a new page per detail, so should print a bar-code per label.

Crystal Report section details doesn't create columns

I want to print data with two columns in crystal report. For example:
enter image description here
But the problem is, I cannot create columns in crystal report. I followed the instructions like Right Click in Section Details then tick the Format Multiple Columns checkbox then adjust the Gap and detail size in Layout Tab. However, only 1 column has been created.
enter image description here
I am using the Crystal Report built in in Visual Basic.Net 2008. Thank you very much.
Probably due to page margins, page size, detail width and gap, the content can't fit as 2 columns.
Use File, Page Setup to adjust those aspects.
Another suspect is that you never actually previewed the report.
The multi-column layout is rendered during Preview.
So you must actually run the report.

Crystal Reports break space

How can I not split my table into two pieces in the Crystal Reports file.
Thanks
enter image description here
Go to File, Page Setup...
Increase page size.
If default printer doesn't support that page size,, use a different printer.
Or, if you don't intend to print, simply turn on 'Dissociate Formatting Page Size and Printer Paper Size'

IReports does not print length more than 297mm

I using ireport 4.0.1. I made a receipt print which is more than 297mm but it cuts at exactly at 297mm all the time. Rest of the data are not getting printed. But when i save it as a pdf i could see all the data. I tried with different kinds of printers (Eg: Epson TM20 -Receipt printer) but no positive changes :( I am using "ignored pagination" in my jrxml file. Could someone help me solving it ?
Set your design properties to more then your desired size.
Set your margins to be smaller.
Experiment with the orientation.
As for your printer itself- it should have the exact same settings and property aspects as these.
Note that it is most definetly a setup and size issue and more then likely NOT your printers.
Here is an image of the properties menu in iReport and to open it go to WINDOW on the top bar and click PALETTE.
Your report need to have a report footer and the height is equal to the A4 size.
It fixed my 2 years problem with receipt printing

Crystal Reports page footer not printing at the bottom of the page

Scenario - We are developing a report using crystal reports. The report has to be printed on pre-printed template. The report is designed as follows - (the colors used are just for helping identifying the problem when report is printed on paper). We are using Visual Studio version 2010 with Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010
Problem - When I am exporting the report to .pdf, or viewing it on screen the report looks perfectly alright, but when I print the report on paper, the page footer is not printing at the bottom of the page, it is printing about one and a half inches above the bottom of the page.
Fix attempts -
In CR designer page setup, the size of the page is given same as that of the pre-printed template (12 inches height)
Used page footer as it automatically prints at the bottom of the page
Also tried using "GroupFooter" and set the option "Print at the bottom of the page" to true
Page size set correctly in the printer preferences
Anticipating problem with the printer, used another printer, but for no help.
Extensive googling for the solution :)
Any help on fixing this up would be really invaluable. Thanks
It is the custom size paper that was causing the issue.
To reduce the gap, just decrease the top margin and shift the fields of page header and report header accordingly.

Crystal report - Watermark in subreport

I have a crystal report for an application form, which I have done by using an image as a water mark in the page header, and then have some fields to be overlayed in the details section by having the page header set to Underlay Following sections.
That all works nicely, but now I want to print another report with this: basically a cover letter which is the primary data set; which then calls my application form report as a sub report. However because subreports don't have page headers, I can't get the watermark and the fields to overlay with each other regardless of what keep togethor or underlay following sections I select on groupings.
Has anyone tried to do this before, and has been able to do it at all? I can't find anything.
OR has anyone created a watermark report, that then supresses the watermark for a subreport (basically reversing the logic above).
Thanks all.
If making a page header to underlay won't work, here's another option.
Make a top grouping that is the same for every record (e.g. the company the grand total of the report is for.) In Group Options, check the box for "Repeat Group Heading On Each Page." In Section Options, check "Underlay Following Sections."
Now, whatever you put in that header will be repeated on every page and everything else will go over it.
