SAPScript Duplex Printing (SD Invoice)

Hi all gurus,
After reading some threads and as I told on this "answered" question from Manfred:
Re: Duplex Printing SapScript: Invoice - Printer tries but fails backside?
We need to print SD invoices in duplex mode.
Settings that we have changed by now:
- Sapscript: first page printmode as DUPLEX, next as default -> OK
- Since read from official SAP documentation, for sapscript duplex you don't need to change display type or device type from SPAD. So I left the one was been used. Anyway, to be sure, I change its print mode to DUPLEX. I have also check if the print control SPMDU appears on the device -> OK
- The printer we use is an OCE MP 1020 which can print on duplex mode and has PCL
- I have tried printing the text SAPSCRIPT-PRINTMODETEST from SO10 but duplex does not work. They print on different pages.
Following those instructions, I could not manage to do it.
I have some questions:
- Do we need to configure the printer locally in any way?
- About the example "SAPSCRIPT-PRINTMODETEST", do you need to configure something before testing it for duplex printing?
Could you please explain the needed steps to accomplish SAPScript duplex print?
Thanks in advance,
John

Hi Aidan,
Thanks for your response.
I have changed the device type from SAPWIN to HPLJ4000.
When I try to print the text: SAPSCRIPT-PRINTMODETEST

Duplex printing of invoice list in smartform

Hi,
I am new to smartforms and I have to handle duplex printing. I need information like how to give the page sequence for duplex printing.
I have 2 pages, page 1 prints the header list of the invoice. Page 2 prints the invoice list and has the main window, hence if the data in the 2nd page overflows then the invoice list will be printed on the 3rd page. In this scenario I have to get terms & conditions printed behind all the 3 pages.
I created page3 with terms & conditions. This is the way I gave:
PAGE1 - Print mode: D; Next page: Page3
PAGE3 - Print mode: ' '; Next page: Page1
PAGE2 - Print mode: D; Next page: Page3
I have a doubt like if the 3rd page is printed with invoice list then will the 3rd page contain the terms & conditions? Please correct me if I am doing wrong.
Thanks & Regards,
Kate.

Hi
It depends on where you've placed those data, if they are in the bottom of the main, yes you're right: they'll be printed only in the last page.
If they're are in another window, they are printed in every page (where the window is defined).

Invoice Printing (AR) in rel 12 with duplex printing

Hello,
I am working on an invoice RTF and I need to print a price list on the back of the Invoice.
This price list is not static as prices can keep changing and I'll get them from a query (Query the INV module).
I've seen Tim Dexter's blog on printing T&Cs on the back
but in his case T&Cs are a static page. If you have any examples of duplex printing with a database query being
the source of information on the back of the page, I'd really appreciate it.
I need to demo this functionality to end users during UAT next week so I'm in a bit of time crunch here...
Thanks again.

Hi Guys,
Could you please help answer this question?
I've been trying to print a price list (Coming from a database query in Advanced Pricing module) on the back of my invoice. I've created Data definition and template for this query and registered it as a sub template.
An Oracle report was created as a source for the xml to build the sub-template.
But when I call this sub template in my main template (Invoice), all I see
are the headings. No Price list data is printed.
Even then, when I print the report from EBS, I still get one-sided print outs.
Do I need to do anything on the Printer side to get a two sided document?
If any one has done the two-sided printing, I'd be more than happy to share my RTF, XML and RDFs for main template (Invoice) and Sub-template (Price List) with them.

Invoice Duplex Printing

I've read through a number of posts on duplex printing but I haven't seen a solution to my particular problem. On the back of invoice first page we would like to print a full page of Terms&conditions. I've set up a back page with one window of type const to hold the sales conditions. If only one page is der means terms& conds are not coming.. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Print AR invoice from FB70.

Is it possible to print a Smartform AR invoice output from FB70? I see that there is a standard credit memo SapScript output which can be triggered from fb12 for invoice. Is there something similar that I can do to print AR invoice output from this transaction?
-PRatibha

Yes we can. Better for this you consult your ABAP consultant and ask him to change the form F140_DOCU_EXC as per the requirement and then assign it to program RFKORD50.
Assign points if useful and mark as answered.

Duplex printing for last 2 pages only

A customer has an invoice report where they want the terms and conditions (which are 2 pages) duplexed while the report itself is not printed that way. Any ideas if this can be done using native SSRS?

I am not sure this will work or not, but you could embed the printer code for duplex printing into your stream.

Duplex printing of abap list

Hi,
we are trying to printing some abap lists on both sides. ich have found some information about duplex printing of sapscript / smart forms, but nothing about printing of abap lists.
Ich habe changed attribute printmode ( transaction SPAD ) of printer to Duplex mode, and print parameter DUPPRINT of the user is changed too ( Function UPDATE_DEFAULT_PRINTPARAMS DB-Table TPRI_DEF ).
But still could not able to print. Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Sumiya.

You can print ABAP lists in duplex, if your printer supports duplex printing and uses one of the following device types:
->        Device types for PCL-5 printers:
        HP4550
        HP8550
        HP9000
        HPLJ1100
        HPLJ8000
        HPLJ4000
        BRHL
->        Device type for Prescribe II printers: KYOFS170
->        Device type for PostScript Level 2 printers: POST2
To be able to use both the simplex and duplex modes of your printer for list printing, you should create two different device definitions. For information about the procedure for doing this, see Creating Output Devices (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_webas620/helpdata/en/7e/36e4c4023411d399b70000e83dd9fc/content.htm).
On the Output attributes tab for the device definition, specify the desired Print mode.

Please reqard points if helpful.
Good Luck.

Conditional Duplex Printing

What is the best way to do conditional duplex printing? While printing invoices, just the last page needs to be in duplex mode, so that address details could be printed on the back side of the very last page. We have a solution at the moment, to have page breaks/sections breaks after the invoice data, which gives us what exactly what we want but, it is just not optimal. The printing takes a little bit extra time. Wondering if anybody out there has an elegant and efficient solution.
Thanks

Hi,
I am also facing the same issue. Could you please explain me how are you conditionally printing duplex pages just for the last page.
In my case, I need to print the check in the footer section of the last page of the invoice and right behind that page, I need to print the address change section.
I have used <?last-page....?> functionality of XMLP to print the check in the footer section of the last page, and unable to print address section from there on in a new page.
So could you please send me your sample rtf template to [email protected] or explain the steps you followed to accomplish the work around.
Thanks and I appreciate your time on this.

Manual duplex printing doesn't work for LaserJet 100 color MFP M175a

Hi !
OS Windows 8.1. Printer LaserJet 100 color MFP M175a. Driver version 61.108.8.10073 date 2011 Apr 13th
1. After switching on checkbox "Print on Both Sides (Manually)" on "Finishing" tab of Print Properties Dialog and
start printing, dialog with instruction how to turn paper appears. Then printer must print odd pages, stop for
turning paper and then continue printing of even pages on the back side of paper sheets. But my device prints
all pages sequentually in order 1,2,3,... without any breaks. What is it- my mistake or possible bug in driver ?
2. Windows API function DeviceCapabilities with fwCapability=DC_DUPLEX for this printer returns 0 (duplex printing
impossible). This value for any other HP printer, even without automatic duplexer, always equel to 1.
This question was solved.

Duplex Printing on a HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless Printer

Duplex printing - 1. How do you change the settings to make the printer print on both sides of a single sheet of paper?
                         2. How do you change the settings to make the printer print on both sides of a single sheer of paper and
                              when it prints the backside of the sheet it rotates the text so that when you read the text you FLIP it
                              up vertically to read the backside rather than just turning the over to read the text on the backside.
I thought I knew the answer to this question - but yesterday when I printed an Owner's Manual for a friend the printer printed 10 sheets that you had to FLIP the sheet over to read the text on the other side (Note: FLIP was not "X"'d. Then when I printed again I changed the setting so that FLIP was "X"d and it printed with the orientation that I needed (just turn the sheet over to read the text on the backside of the sheet).
NO instructions about "Printer Settings" came with the printer so I am in the dark about "HOW TO" things. As I said before I thought I need how to do it - but it performed exactly backwards as I had thought,,,Have I got TOO old to remember HOW TO set up settings? Would appreciate help with this and where I can do to get info about HP Printer Settings. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I assume you are using Windows 7
For 1)
Click Start. Go to "Devices and Printers".
Double Click on the printer icon.
Click Customize Printer
Click Preference
Select "Print on both sides" and select "Flip on long Edge"
For 2)
Repeat the same steps but select "Flip on short Edge"
You can find the same preferences when you click on preferences on the print menu (Ctrl + P)

Duplex printing problem with hp 9500 (right side always just half printed)

Since OS X 10.6 was released there is a problem with the print out of duplex printed pages (specially via Indesign CS4 broschure printing function). Using Mac OS X 10.5.8 with old and new driver everything is fine - but under 10.6, 10.6.1 or 10.6.2 neither old nor one of the new driver releases 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3 will work.
When I´m trying to print a duplex printing page the print of the right page will be cutted off at the half of the page - like the page would not print A3 horizontally but vertically (so the rest is cut off). The new print features within the printing menu (manual duplex print and print broschure will have same effect but with a strange miniaturization to A5 - although it should be A4). All in all the is no way to print out a duplex printing with OS X 10.6 and hp 9500. Will there be any solution in sight? Are there other with the same effect?

I have an identical issue to neuegestaltung, but with an HP 5500. I can print single-sided to A3/tabloid successfully but when I try printing duplex the right quarter of the page is cut off on both sides - almost as if it thinks it's printing portrait.
Applications affected include Adobe Acrobat 8 and 9, Adobe CS3 and CS4 applications including InDesign.
Preview works fine, but of course the colour balance makes the output unusable.
OS 10.6.2, print driver HP Color LaserJet 5500 v 3010.107.
Using the Gutenprint driver I can't either do A3 or colour so there is no solution there.
Worked fully and correctly with the same apps under 10.5.x.
At the moment I am running Windows XP under VMWare to print from Acrobat, which is plainly silly.
Any useful* observations, suggestions or workarounds welcome.
*Needless to say, "It's Adobe's problem" or similar are not acceptable responses. It may well be an interaction between the Adobe's applications and Apple's printing system and/or driver of course; in that case the companies need to collaborate to solve the issue.

AR "Invoice Print Selected Invoices" program

Hi to All,
When we run the "Invoice Print Selected Invoices" program in AR. What table and column is used to store the flag for printing the invoice. When we look at the invoice, the more tab has the Print Option/Print Date. Where is the print date, time stamp stored?

Hi.
Have a look on RA_CUSTOMER_TRX_ALL table and columns PRINTING_LAST_PRINTED, PRINTING_ORIGINAL_DATE, etc.

Switch from OINV to ODRF in Crystal Report layout for print the Invoice?

Hi,
I have imported in Sap Business One some standard report developed by Sap with Crystal Report (like Sales Invoice).
I have try to print my Invoices and all is OK, then I have try to print a Draft Invoice and, even in this case, is all ok. Then I have open the Crystal Report designer for this print module, and the entry point is the OINV table. How can he print succesful the Draft Invoice (that is in the ODRF table ObjType = 13)? Formula Field? I don't understand!!
Thank for the help!!
Marco

Hi Marco,
You only need a single Crystal report for this. Base it on a stored procedure which has two INT type parameters @DocKey and @ObjectId. Within your SQL create IF blocks to handle different @ObjectId values:
IF @ObjectId = 13 then use the invoices tables OINV/INV1 etc.
IF @ObjectId = 112 then use the draft tables ODRF/DRF1 etc.
Don't forget to put the @ symbol at the end of the parameter in the report itself. That is all that is needed to create a single report that works for both added invoices and draft invoices. You could extend the SQL to handle other @ObjectId values like 14 for AR Credit Notes and so on.
Regards,
Andrew.

Hi ,
The cause of the issue is the standard rdf is set to run for single operating unit. But R12 is a moac setup enable application. Hence The operating unit mode is changed to Single from null in system administration concurrent program setting for the XML report concurrent program.
This fixed the issue.
