"Output could not be issued" when using custom page formats

Dear all,
I created a custom page format using SPAD. Its dimension is 7.5cm x 10cm (190mm x 254mm). I also created this page format in windows and set as the default paper size in my printer. However, when trying to print a smartform using this size, the message "Output could not be issued" is given. When I use the standard paper sizes (e.g., LETTER, DINA4), the form prints OK.
Can you point me to the direction to solving this?
Thank you!
Kyle

Issue resoved.
For those who are encountering the same problem, here's what I did. I tested the smartform by itself and it reported the specific error: the page format is not supported in device type SWIN. I added it in another device type SAPWIN. This was just a simple miscommunication between the admins and the developer. I added the format in SWIN and everything works fine.

Second o/p been printed from first page due to page format

Dear All,
I have created a new page format with width 210 mm and height 290 mm and included it a smartform for invoice printing that I have created.The problem is that when i take a printout of the invoice program it prints the first page perfectly,but when I take printout of the next invoice,it starts printing from the same page itself ,hence the second invoice is printed on the first and the second page .Other page formats are been printed correctly.The problem is only with the this page format that i have created.Even if i Change the width and height of the page format from SPAD ,the output remains the same.Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Subhabrata Choudhury.

Hi,
I am not sure which device type you are using, but it is possible you need to add some commands in the sections below from SPAD:
SPAD -> Full Admin -> Device Types -> <Device Type> -> Formats -> <Format> -> End of page
E.g. In a windows device type like SAPWIN, the command below is needed:
formfeed
\f
This ensures that there is a formfeed after each page. You can check the standard page formats such as DINA4 to see which commands are required for your device type. Also for some device types, commands are needed in the printer intialization section for your custom page format to tell the printer the length of the page.
SPAD -> Full Admin -> Device Types -> <Device Type> -> Formats -> <Format> -> Printer Initialization
Again you can check the standard page formats like DINA4 or LETTER as a reference.

Landscape and Portrait Page Format Settings for Printing

Hi Experts,
The client requirement is to print the Smart form in 8.5 * 11 (inches) in (Portrait) mode.
In my page settings i have kept the Page Format = 'LETTER' .
However when the page is printed , the formatting comes out to be A4(Landscape mode).
Please let me know what i am missing.
Thanks

Hi Abhishek,
I can suggest couple of options here.
Check the settings by clicking on the Page you have created. Under O/P options we need to ensure its A4 potrait.
Secondly you can create a custom Page Format with Potrait & Lanscape both options and depending on printer settings it will dynamically decide if we need to print Landscape of Portrairt
Also check the Default printer Settings.

If you do not see the "Create" button, then you do not have autorization to do that action. Have your Basis people create it for you or get authorization.

Date format issue in Custom Pages

Hi All
I have set ICX: Date Format profile option as 31-Dec-1999 and under preferences set the date format as DD-MM-YYYY. But still in my custom pages when i fetch data and show it shows in the format YYYY-MM-DD. Could anyone please tell me is it the default mask for OAF. If so then what is the significance of setting preference format mask when it does not get reflected.Please help.
Thanks

Hi Sachin,
where did you set the SET COUNTRY in the layout?
It should be in the Initialization tab in the Global defnitions. Please confirm that.

Pages custom date format

I'm looking for a way to create a custom date format outside a Pages formatted cell. In other words, in text paragraphs, I need to be able to update the year only in a paragraph. Any ideas?

If you are looking for the capability within Pages to insert a custom date field-code like the following, outside of a table, then I am not aware of how it can be done. I used LibreOffice 4.0 to produce the following image.
When this was exported as a .docx file into Pages v4.3 on Mountain Lion, the YYYY format was replaced by a Pages date field. A right-button selection of this date in Pages offers an Edit Date & Time... menu item that produces the following panel:
There is no YYYY format customization on this panel within Pages.
It is possible to write an AppleScript service that runs from your Pages > Services menu and scans your Pages document for a date to convert to a YYYY replacement format. You may not want that either.
Did this answer your question?

Custom Page Sizes - How to change from centimeters to Inches?

Hello,
I'm working on some panoramic prints to an Epson R2400 and I need to set up a custom paper size for printing to roll paper. When I select Custom Page Sizes from the Page Setup dropdown, all my measurements are forced into centimeters. Even if I try and specify it to be in inches when I type in the values, I get an error saying "Invalid Number" because of the " (in mark designation).
And because the input box only allows two decimal places, I can't get accurate inches-to-centimeter conversions because the sizes I need are 3+ decimals when converted to centimeters.
Searching on the web I've come across many pages with info on the Custom Page Sizes dialog box and the images show the values being set in inches, but I've found nowhere that says where you specify where I can change this default measurement?
If anyone could help me, it'd be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Kristin.

Answering my own questions.
Because I'm Canadian, in Preferences -> International -> Formats I needed to change "Measurement Units" to "US" instead of "Metric".

Custom control in custom page layout not getting shown

Hi,
I have created a site column for Date field:
<Field ID="{GUID}" Name="MyCustomPageLayoutDate" StaticName="MyCustomPageLayoutDate" Group="TestGroup" Type="DateTime" Format="DateOnly" DisplayName="Date" Required="FALSE" ><Field ID ="{guid}" Name ="MyCustomLayoutDateDisplay" DisplayName="Date Display"
         Group="TestGroup"
         Type="Calculated"
         ResultType="Text"
         ReadOnly="TRUE"
         Required="FALSE">
    <Formula>=TEXT([Date],"MMMM dd, yyyy")</Formula>
</Field>
This is added in the page layout content type:
<FieldRef ID="{guid}" Name="MyCustomPageLayoutDate" /> <FieldRef ID="{guid}" Name ="MyCustomLayoutDateDisplay" />
In the custom page layout, it is added as below:
<Publishing:EditModePanel ID="EditModePanel5" runat="server" CssClass="edit-mode-panel">
<tr>
<td>
Date
</td>
</tr>
</Publishing:EditModePanel>
<PublishingWebControls:EditModePanel ID="DateEditModePanel" runat="server" PageDisplayMode="Edit" SupressTag="True">
<tr>
<td >
<PageFieldDateTimeField:DateTimeField ID="DateTimeField1" FieldName="GUID" runat="server">
</PageFieldDateTimeField:DateTimeField>
</td>
</tr>
</PublishingWebControls:EditModePanel>
<PublishingWebControls:EditModePanel ID="DatePublishModePanel" PageDisplayMode="Display" runat="server">
<tr>
<td>
<SharePoint:CalculatedField ID="CalculatedDateField" FieldName="guid" runat="server" />
</td>
</tr>
</PublishingWebControls:EditModePanel>
In the edit mode, the date is getting shown, and I am able to select a date. When the page is published, the entered date is not getting displayed.
How to fix this?
Thanks

Hi,
I tried to reproduce this issue like this:
1. Create a DateTime site column “MyDateTimeCol01”;
2. Create a Calculated site column “MyCalculated03” with formula “=TEXT(MyDateTimeCol01,"MMMM dd, yyyy")”;
3. Create a Page Layout content type contains the two site columns above;
4. Create a Page Layout with the Page Layout content type, the source code of this page layout as below:
<asp:Content ContentPlaceholderID="PlaceHolderMain" runat="server">
<PublishingWebControls:EditModePanel runat=server id="EditModePanel1" PageDisplayMode="Edit">
<SharePointWebControls:DateTimeField FieldName="9492c1ff-851f-4d1c-bcbf-5637b69ebd63" runat="server"> </SharePointWebControls:DateTimeField>
</PublishingWebControls:EditModePanel>
<br/>
<PublishingWebControls:EditModePanel runat=server id="EditModePanel2" PageDisplayMode="Display">
date time text:
<br/>
<SharePointWebControls:CalculatedField FieldName="9c00c4dc-6a53-4abd-9fa4-6b4dd266c898" runat="server"></SharePointWebControls:CalculatedField>
</PublishingWebControls:EditModePanel>
</asp:Content>
5. After that, create a publishing page with this custom page layout:
In Edit mode:
In Display mode:
I suggest you follow the steps above to make another test to see if the issue persists.
Thanks
