Abap Lists - Printing - defining font and CPI and applying to printed text

Hi,
I am trying to define some forms for matrix printing. I should change the font type, and CPI.
We will print ABAP Lists.
I see my fonts (courier, 100, 12CPI, Prnt.Ctrl SF005) are defined in SE73.
In SPAD - device type (choose spec. one) u2013 Print Controls (tab) I can see SF005, marked u201EDirectu201C column, as well as u201EHexadecimalu201C. Control Character Sequence is 1B6B001B4D121B57001B461B35.
I can see 31 more SFxxx Print controls here.
How do I apply specific Print Controls (SF005) from this list to a printed document? (I assume this is the list of available prnt.ctrls that can be used for printing, but how do I "select" specific ones and apply them to document print?)
How do I choose u201ECOL0N: Color off, normal fontu201D (intensified OFF u2013 I heard that sap print in bold by default)?
Thanks in advance,
cheers,
Nenad
P.s. u2013 in printer settings the default font is Coourier 10, 12CPI, draft output. If I change this settings on printer directly, no effect is applied on printed documents... Printing from ECC 6.0

hi again,
more info:
In Formats (Z_fakt1) - Formats (tab): u201EPrinter initializationu201C, I can see some predefined settings, but it is copied from some IBM printer, and I wonder is it correct. There is nothing about font type:
#reset
\e\0x40
select US-ASCII character set
\e\0x52\0x00
set line spacing 6 LPI
\e\0x32
set page length to 12 inch (=72 lines at 6 LPI)
\e\0x43\0x48
cancel bottom margin
\e\0x4F
set left margin to 0
\e\0x6C\0x00
select draft quality
\e\0x78\0x00
select non-proportional spacing
\e\0x70\0x00
cancel condensed printing
\0x12
disable double-width printing
\e\0x57\0x00
select 10 CPI
\e\0x50
Result here is: 11CPI. Bold. Looks like "Times New Roman"
The exact copy from IBM printer is used for another format (Z_fakt2), nothing is different except:
select 12 CPI
\e\0x4D
Result here is: 10CPI. Bold. I am under BIG impression that the font type is different. But it is possible the font looks different just due to a size difference. Looks like "Courier New"
In both cases I print predefined text with same output device, same device type.
When I set 15CPI (0x67) u2013 I still get 10CPI, just the font looks more plain, more "draft" then before - like once in DOS. I am certain that these font type is definitely different then before (for example, here "W" have parallel endings). These fonts are even more suitable for these reports...
Shouldn't the fonts be SMALLER and more of them in 1 inch (15 characters per inch) now then 10CPI (10 character per inch - less characters to fill 1 inch)??
If I set 1CPI - shouldn't there be just 1 big character on 24,5mm?
When I delete all entry (except # reset \e\0x40) from "Printer initialization" for one Format, the print output looks exact as before deleting (and saving)?!
I would like to set Courier font, (really 12CPI), plain text, no bold.
Where should I set this options?
Thanks and sorry for long input, but the more info you have, the more insight ou have in my problem...
Cheers,
N

How do I change font size printing emails. font normal on viewing but when printed is very tiny

When I go to print an email the text comes out too small to read. How do I change the font size. Also, page sometimes moves up and down when I'm typing a reply to an email. Upon viewing before printing the email text, it appears normal font size, but when it prints out the text is too small to read.

It was already on 100 per cent. I clicked it just in case. Nothing happerned.

ABAP List formats to cater for both A4 and Letter environments

We have an environment where now both Letter and A4 stationery is used. Where can we get ABAP list formats for the Letter stationery and should we define them separately e.g. X_65_80 and X_65_80_LTR?
Secondly what is the transaction path for copying and modifying ABAP list formats?

Hi
You cann;t change the font size thru report.
Go for either Script/smartform for the same.

Hi,
I have to set font type on matrix printer.
Can You please explain how did you find
\e(s0p24h15v0s0b16602T
for
select arial 24 cpi 15 point normal
As I can see, all the escapes defined in "Printer initialization" are in
\e\0xqw\0xer0x\tz
form, where qw, er, tz are hexa decimal interpretation of escapes from printer manual.
I am confused where did You find annotation such as
\e(s0p24h15v0s3b16602T
Thank you, cheers.
p.s. - if You want me to open another subject with this question so I can express my gratitude, please let me know.
p.s. - in SPAD > Device Type, Print Control tab, we have
SF005     |     1B6B001B4D121B57001B461B35
and I know the
"1B"
stands for
\e
but then at "6b........" I am lost...

How do I get to use my printer post script fonts in Illustrator and In Design

I am running the CS2 Suite with Photo Shop, Illustrator, and In Design. I have purchased a Xerox 8550 post script printer, and it comes with 40 really cool post script fonts. I know that Adobe uses the common files folder in program files to store the fonts, but it dosn't list the fonts that are resident in my printer. Is there any way that I can tell the common files area that I have these resident fonts, if so, how?
Thanks,
Tom

That would be up to the printer driver. When installed, it should create either a full set of PostScript fonts, a set of bitmap placeholder fonts or offer a way to manage fonts on the printer, including downloading them manually - if allowed. The driver is also the place where to look for font substitution rules. Double-check the manual/ help files for the printer, I'm sure it's explained somewhere...

HT1923 I have just updated itunes and now I can't print the playlist when I burn a list to cd. How do make a cd case cover or list of songs?

I just recently updated itunes and now I can't print the playlist or print a cd case cover. I want to at least print a list of songs to go in the cd case. How do I do that?

beggsc54, There were some printing bugs in iTunes 11.0 which reportedly have been fixed in 11.0.1. If you haven't upgraded yet, install the latest iTunes and try again.

Fonts in Indesign CS3 View and Save But Will Not Print

Hi - this thread has been going a bit elsewhere but I have a bit different symptoms. Just updated from 6.5 Pagemaker to CS3 on a new Vista system. Indesign shows my collection of over 300 fonts, which are installed in the Windows Font folder (and available to and working in all my other programs)and it previews and saves documents with them correctly. But when I go to print I get the famous "font not installed" message. I check the pull down - and they are all there on the command bar. But when I go direct to the folder - only one arial font is there. OK, so I try copying, or moving the font files from the windows folder to the Adobe Fonts folder, and Vista won't let me. It grays out all option paths. HELP! And please, after reading the other threads - don't tell me I have to go in and rename each of these 300 fonts. Actually, I am not a programmer and have not the least idea why this is but for the cost of this software - there must be a patch? Or, I hope - it is simply that I am doing something myself very dumb? PS - I have Microsoft Word and Office 1997 on the system so its not the "2003 or newer" answer - as well as fonts I have purchased both before and after 2003 or 2006! Help! I'm dead in the water here. Mike P.

Hi Guys - here are the answers to your questions...
1- I have no font manager installed that I am aware of - I have all the Adobe CS3 Indesign, Photoshop and Utlitites - but unless it came packed in there, I just loaded straight over a new computer with a new Vista.
2- I tried to export to eps or PDF and print - same thing - it showed the font correctly, named it corectly, but then when I hit the button it came up "font missing" and refused to save or print.
3- I did not delete any files, but Dominic - I did a search and could not find adobefnt.db or fntnames.db on the computer? Is it possible I need to find these on the CS3 disc and copy them in? Under what folder?
4- when I click on the fonts under font find - again, they are correctly viewed and named, but the path comes up empty. No clue as to where they are housed. And they are not in the empty Adobe fonts folder.
Thanks guys. Anything here helpful?
Mike P.

I have a new MacBook Pro with OS10.8.2 and cannot get Contacts to print a list of addresses with pictures showing. There is a check box selecting "picture" which has been checked - but no picture. This worked fine on OS10.7.5. Problem??

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

Does this essentially mean there is no way to fix this problem on my end? It's a pity because the design and branding of my brochure will suffer if I remove transparencies and use different fonts. It also concerns me moving forward because it means the quality of print on my pieces will be significantly lower because most commercial printers use Adobe products.

What is the differenec between 'sap list viewer' and 'abap list viewer'

hi
what is the differenec between 'sap list viewer' and 'abap list viewer'

Hi,
There is no difference between them.SAP List Viewer (ALV) is the new name of the ABAP List Viewer (ALV).
The SAP List Viewer unifies and simplifies the use of lists in the R/3 System. A uniform user interface and list format is available for all lists. This prevents redundant functions.
The SAP List Viewer can be used to view both single-level lists and multilevel sequential lists.
Single-level lists contain any number of lines that have no hierarchical relationship to each other.
Multilevel sequential lists consist of any number of lines that have two hierarchical levels. Multilevel lists have header rows and item rows; the item rows are subordinate to the header rows. For each header row there can be any number of subordinate item rows.
You can view subtotals and totals rows in both single-level lists and multilevel sequential lists
From End User Point it is SAP LIST viewer , From Developer Point of View it is ALV .

Export ABAP List to Excel and send it as email attachment

Hi,
I have a program that sends email to employees, using SAP Office, this email sends an attachment in html (an abap lisp exported to html). To create this attachment I use LIST_FROM_MEMORY to recover data and then WWW_HTML_FROM_LISTOBJECT to create the html file.
Then the email is sent using SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 and it works fine. But now I need to send this ABAP List as an Excel instead of sending as a HTML file.
How can I do this? Is this possible?
Thanks in advance
Best regards
P.S: I've tried to recover information from ABAP List as an ASCII file (using LIST_TO_ASCII instead of WWW_HTML_FROM_LISTOBJECT) and then sending the file as an XLS instead of HTM (this is determined in PACKING_LIST parameter of SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1), but when I open the excel file, all information is stored in the first cell, so you cannot perform any operation on it.

Hi,
