2. No need landscape
3. No need customize paper
4. Just press enter to print

It can be make so much easier to use. To try, enter and press print.

It will be a free program for the world. I wonder if cheque number is required?

I have found the answer to easy printing

Since IE is the standard for printing, i better use the default paper size and margin. And using the same method in my microsoft access to print cheque, i can do away with paper setting and margin, using vertical wordings in css as followed



minus away in IE
1) to set landscape
2) to set paper size each time
3) to set in page setup
4) to set in printer preference
5) to set margin

but in firefox
1) only one time setting on
- landscape
- paper size

Both need to remove heading and footer manually...

Johor advertise

Malaysian going back for cny. If can advertise will be very good. How to get them know and interested?

Ie master layout in 2 days

I must thank Internet to get insights into ie way of working. I am setting 0.5 inches margins.

To print accurately in ie, that is the most commonly used browser.

1. Use shrink to fit in page setup paper option.
2. Use landscape in page setup.
3. Set margin to 0.5 inches, similar to firefox default.
4. In printer preference, create a custom paper size. 90 mm widtd and 180 mm height.
5. In printer preference, set landscape too.
6. All elements eg date to print, set with reference to (0.5 inches, 0.5 inches) in front page. Use draw layout cell.
7. Insert layout table with width set to width of cheque - left margin and right margin. That is 15.2 cm. The height set to smaller than height - top margin - bottom margin. That is 6 cm.

In x ratio, 718 points = 15.2cm
Y ratio, 284 points = 6 cm

Cheque writer

Manage to do a cheque writer on 04 feb 2010. print a sample and let mr lim bring to personal selling.

There is a demand. Many people are using handwritten cheque.

My marketing issue is to give what name? My target is account female clerk from Malaysia. The time is boardband in every office and printer.

Next will be where to advertise on my web service.

The engineering issue is I print on firefox but it goes off in Internet explorer. Add in CSs font size and name.

Adding a bank cheque may be good for the future.

Searching the Internet, I get to know ie default is 0.75 inches margin. It should not be difficult to use the default margin.

I have to focus on ie because that is what everyone is using in Singapore.
