Smartforms in Zebra Printer - Landscape Format

Hi all,
I have two issues....Kindly help me in this regard.
1) I have developed 9 labels in smart forms (all to be printed in Zebra printer) of which 4 should be in Landscape format. I have changed the settings in my smart form(Page>OutputOption>Landscape) for the 4 labels.So, when I give the printout of all the 9 labels these 4 alone should be in Landscape format ad the rest in Portrait format.
But, every label comes in Portrait format only.
2) In the above label in 1 particular label half of the label is completely black and only remaining half is seen.
I have used the device type :- ZLZEB2 based on the SAP Notes 750002 and 750772.
Kindly help me in this regard as the requirement is pretty urgent.Any information would be helpful.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramky.G

Hello Martin,
Yes, I know about the sap-notes and have tried the tips too. However, the printout is all mugged up on the same line. This my problem. I will try with new-line command and see if the lines print would be seperated line for line.
Do you have an example for me, with screen shots etc?
However, thanks. I have given points
Blacky.

I want to display some number of forms with different format (say portrait and land scape). In this case the main window size is different. so how we can achieve solution for this issue.
if you have any idea, please share with me.

PDF Landscape Format

Friends,
I have a program which writes a report. Since this is scheduled in the background, a spool is created. I am converting this spool into a PDF (function module CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF) and sending this PDF as a mail attachment (function module SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1). The PDF which I am getting is in portrait format.
Can I get a PDF which is in Landscape format?
I tried customising function module CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF and changing the standard layout from 'X_65_80' to 'X_90_120' but the PDF output is still portrait.
Please suggest a solution.
Warm Regards,
Sagar Satalkar

hai Mr.Sagar,

[email protected]
(for smartform and abap editor program samrt styles)

SQL Plus command to print a report in Landscape format

Hi,
what is the SQL Plus command to print a report in Landscape format?

Hi,
what is the SQL Plus command to print a report in Landscape format?SQLPlus doesn't print, and it doesn't know about 'landscape' vs. 'portrait' any more than it knows about fonts. the only 'formatting' it knows is line size, page size. And all it does with line size is know where to insert a CR/LF pair (windows) or a CR (*nix). The only thing it knows to do with page size is repeat column headers.
The rest is up to whatever application you use to open the pure asciii text spool file.

You will need to edit prt files to add the printer escape sequences to change the page orientation to landscape. Printer escape sequences can be obtained from the printer manual, or the printer vendor.
For instance, HP printer escape codes can be obtained from the HP website under the printer support links.
The steps below describe how to print a landscape, character mode report from a Windows NT PC on an HP 4100N Printer. The 4100N is a dual mode printer that can use either PCL or Postscript printer language.
1. Use a web browser to navigate to the HP website and obtain the printer escape codes for the HP 4100N. If you are unable to locate the HP4100N printer, look for generic PCL information. The HP site also includes detailed information on the printer command syntax.
2. The HP4100N printer command for landscape page orientation is "ESC&l1O" - where ESC indicates escape, '&' (ampersand) is the parameterized character, 'l'(lower case letter l) is the group character, '1' (number one) is the printer value character and 'O' (upper case letter O) is the termination character.
NOTE: The HP documentation uses "EC" to signify the escape character.
It also suggests pressing CTRL and the letter P together, then
releasing both keys and pressing the ESC key. If this is done in
a dos editor, a left arrow will actually be displayed on screen.
This character cannot be interpreted by Oracle Reports and will
cause printing errors if used in a .prt file. Instead, just use
the letters "ESC" to indicate that the code that follows is a printer
escape sequence.
3. Make a copy of the wide.prt file and rename it to "mywide.prt."
4. Add the page orientation escapes to mywide.prt file:
printer "mywide"
height 66
width 132
before report esc "&l1O" *** Puts Page in Landscape Orientation***
after page control(L)
after report esc "&l0O" *** Resets page orientation to Portrait ***
return control(M)
linefeed control(J)
SYNTAX NOTES: The escape sequence must be enclosed in double quotes ("). The above comments regarding page orientation are used to clarify where the escape codes gets added, but they should NOT be used when editing
the actual .prt file.
5. Save mywide.prt file to the $ORACLE_HOME\report60\printers\ directory.
6. Go to Windows PC -> Start -> Settings -> Printers and open the properties for the HP printer. Ensure that the option to "Always Spool Raw Data" is checked. This option is usually under the General Printer
Options, or Spool Options. On Windows NT, you must have Administrator privileges to change this setting.
7. Test running the report to the printer and specify desformat mywide. It is not necessary to include the file extension (.prt).
8. The report will now print in landscape orientation.

How to create paragraph format in smartforms

Hi All,
Let me know how to create paragraph format in smartforms?
Thanks&Regards
Mahesh

Hi
When we create a smartform we can see in global settings , form attributes.
In form attributes we set the over all style of the smartform. Goto form attributes and open the tab output options. Here you can see the Style box. In this style box we enter the smartstyle created in transaction code smartstyles.
Open transaction smartstyles.
Create a new style.
Upon creating a new style you will see 3 folder structures under style name.
1. Header data
2. Paragraph format
3. Character format
To create paragraph format right click on the paragraph format node and click Create Node. Give it name. Now you will get a screen with 4 tabs.
Indents and spacing
Fonts
Tabs
Numbering and outline
Here you can provide the look you want.
Now add this smartstyle in your smartform's form attribute.
You can also provide individual smartstyles to each text element you create by giving the name of smartstyle in its output options tab. Each text element has a individual output option tab here you can give any smartstyle.
Click on the general attribute tab of any text element and give the paragraph format directly or by going to SAPScript editor mode.
Any more questions you can ask me directly mailing me.
Please do reward points if satisfied.
