what is the difference between character mode,bitmap mode..

Answer / vineet singh

Here is an example to help explain how Oracle Reports are
designed and printed in both the bitmap and character-mode
environments.

Assume you wish to print "Cc" where "C" is a different font
and a larger point size than "c" and is in boldface type
(where "c" is not).

In Oracle Reports Designer, bitmap mode, you can make "C"
bold and in a different font and point size than "c". This
is because you are generating postscript output.
Postscript is a universal printer language and any
postscript printer is able to interpret your different
design instructions.

In Oracle Reports Designer, character mode, the
APPLICATIONS STANDARDS REQUIRE the report to be designed in
ONE FONT/ ONE CHARACTER SIZE. Character mode reports
generate ASCII output. In ASCII you cannot dynamically
change the font and character size. The standard is in
effect so a report prints as identically as possible from
both conventional and postscript printers.
