Printing form using dot matrix printer

Dear experts,
I have a PO form and when printed using laser printer it works just fine, when use dot matrix printer with continuos form , the form's content started to be printed a bit lower compared to the laser printer, should i adjust the paper size in the se71 ?

Hi Johannes,
We have been know to go directly into the printer defintion and adjust the Horizontal and Veritical Shift. This can be found on the Output Attributes in the Additional SAPScript and Smart Form Information area. We give our A4 printers a slight Negative Horizontal and Positive Vertical shift to better center the output on the different paper size.
Regards,
Raj

  • Adobe print form on dot matrix printer

    Has anyone tried to print adobe forms into a dot matrix printer i.e. printing multi-part documents. I've read that the device type supported are PostScript, PCL, PDF and ZPL. The help file specifically mentioned that SAPWIN device type won't be supported, but it does not mentioned explecitly weather ASCII device type or device type for dot matrix/impact printer is supported or not.
    I'm still holding up hope that adobe print forms scenario will be able to do this since we are planning to go ahead with 100% adobe form solution.
    Any info would greatly appreciated.

    The supported output formats of ADS are PostScript, PCL, PDF and ZPL. That means that your printer has to support one of the mentioned formats to be supported. So the answer to your question is no.

  • Problem in Smartform Table/window Line Using Dot Matrix Printer

    Dear Experts,
    I faced issue in printing smartform using dot matrix printer. In the print result, the table line (horizontal and vertical) is not printed. I already search the forum but none can solve my issue. I already changed the table line width into 30 or 40 TW but still not work. Everything is OK in the print result, except the table line.
    If i manually print/write '__' (underscore), it appear in the print result, but to write horizontal line and vertical line manually in the smartform will be huge effort.
    I used device type EPESCP9 for the output device.
    Can you tell me what i need to do?
    your help will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Check your device type.

    Hai Varun,
    If things are coming properly then its no more ABAP issue.
    Need to check out with the BASIS team along with the IT / hardware department.
    Just try to take print out on a other dotmatrix printer, if its somewhere close to you as usually they are heavy and large in size can't be moved.
    Hope this helps,
    Cheers,

  • Which driver to use to print to a dot matrix printer?

    All-
    Hi, we are using Adobe Output Designer 5.7 to create invoice templates.  We use a custom application that uses Adobe Output Central Server (5.6) to create invoices and print them to a network printer.  We are about to do a new release in Chile, which requires a dot matrix printer be used for printing due to gov't regulations.  Does anyone know what kind of print driver could be used to effectively print to a dot matrix printer?  It seems like all the drivers we have used don't work.
    Additionally, we also tried using the .pdf driver in conjunction with the Web Output Pak, but unfortunately that result is just as bad.  Does anyone know of a workaround to get Pdf's to work with a dot matrix printer?  By googling, I found that we could try copying the .pdf output and pasting into Word, but I haven't tested this yet and it makes for a cumbersome process.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Hi Andrew,
    Unless you can convert the PDF to a text file, and print that, I doubt there is any way to send PDFs to a Dot Matix printer.
    If you're on Windows then one way is to use the 'windows' driver option in your template to generate the output directory for the target printer - this allows non-supported printers to be used with Output Server,

  • Printing Barcode in Dot Matrix Printer

    Dear Experts,
    We have developed Smart form to print Barcode and it's printing fine in LaserJet printer & readable by the scanner,  We need it on Dot Matrix printer for (multiple copies) and tried the same with Dot Matrix printer it use to print but not readable with scanner.
    SAP Transaction - MIGO (GI Posting)
    Dot Matrix Printer - Epson DFX9000  & Oki data PACEMARK 4410
    Please help me to Print Barcode in Dot Matrix printer through Smart form.

    There is something I don't understand: if the barcode printed is visually correct, and exactly the same as with a laser printer, why do you want it would be better with a PDF (especially on a dot matrix printer).
    Could you also tell us what symbology you use, and do you use smart form new barcode technology?

  • Web report printed on a dot matrix printer

    Dear all,
    how can i design a report that is going to be printed on a dot matrix printer, i want to know these things:
    1 - what i will have to change in the report it self.
    2 - when i call the report from the form how the code will be.
    3 - do i have to print the report on the browser then the user press print from the file menu of the browser.
    please advice

    1 - what i will have to change in the report it self.Since you will be printing to a dot matrix printer, you essentially need to design a character mode report and set the .prt file for printing purpose. Check in online help for how to make a character mode report.
    2 - when i call the report from the form how the code >will be.On the otn site itself, you can find a white paper on reports 9i/forms integration. Please refer to this white paper on the example code.
    3 - do i have to print the report on the browser then >the user press print from the file menu of the browser.You do not need to print the report from browser window and can directly tell the report to print the character mode output using your dot matrix printer. The command line you send from Forms will have destype=printer and desformat=<.prt file name>
    Thanks

    Regards
    Dhaval..

    Hi Raje,
    Try to take the print in inkjet or laserjet printer
    just for confirmation purpose .
    if it prints in that and  doesn't print in dot matrix then the problem is with the dot matrix.
    In that case ask the basis guys to install the relevent device driver for that dot matrix printer( as normally they would have installed some generic driver ).
    Hope this helps.

  • Printing using dot matrix printer,problem with landscape printing

    Hi all,
    We are planning to use Dot matrix printers for printing through SAP.We do front end printing using Windows OS. I am able to get prints properly if it is a script form. In case of list outputs, printer is printing the text outside the paper.Only half of the text is printing on the continuous stationary. Actually document is to be printed in Landscape format. So printer should print data vertically on the paper,but it's printing horizontally. I have created sparate output device for this printer.My printer is TVS Electronics HD745 24 Pin heavy duty printer. I have assigned OKI341 as device type for this device.Any more settings I need to do to get printing in landscape mode?

  • Printing smartform in Dot matrix printer

    Hi ,
    i am giveing the printout of the smartform in the dot matrix printer. But in the print out the template is not getting printed and in the second table i am getting extra lines in the table. Please give me any suggestions and is there any settings to be changed in the printer.
    Warm Regards
    Phani.

    There may be some isssue with the loop used to printing the table ....
    There might be only 2 reasons either there is loop repeating or not data is not cleared  concentrate on this two issues only .
    try debugging the table jus before printing .if its is fine , then
    Sometimes even the problem with the print catridge could have resulted in this .
