MS Access Forum / Reports / Printing / December 2005invoice on matrix printer
Hi, I have to use a matrix printer to print my invoices. I use a OKI Microline 380 matrix printer. Everything works just fine except that the printer prints high quality instead of draft (time to print is twice as long too... high quality isn't needed) How can I change this? I can use the menu on the printer itself but for one reason the program changes the choosen font just before starting to print. Any idea? Thanks JP To use one of the built-in fonts: 1. Open your report in design view. 2. Press Ctrl+A to select all controls. 3. Choose the font you want in the report design toolbar. Provided you choose the font that is a printer font (not a True Type or other Windows font), Access will just send the text characters to the printer, instead of sending a page of graphics (which is how a dot matrix prints True Type fonts.)

If the dot matrix is the default printer, then the Courier font (not Courier New) could be the right one. In some versions, you get some visual clues as to whether it is a TT font or not.
