Device Type to print IR56B

Hi,
What is the device type to be used for generating and printing the IR56B form with Chinese Character?
We are currently using the following device types:ZHANWIN and SAPWIN. However we cannot print the IR56B form completely. The bottom part (I.R.56B) is missing. We cannot change the device type because the form should be printed in one sheet as per client's requirement. And the form should print Chinese Characters. So, is there a note that we should apply to print the IR56B completely or is there other device type that we can use?
Please advise asap.
Thank you,
Claire

Hi Salil,
Thanks for that information. However the issue is when we print the IR56B form, the "I.R.56B" is missing at the bottom line of the form when we use the device types:ZHANWIN and SAPWIN.
But when we use the device type: HPLJ4000, the "I.R.56B" is not missing at the bottom line of the form however the hard copy is being printed into 2 separate sheets and cannot print Chinese characters.
Is there a note or anything that we need to change in the format setting of device types:ZHANWIN and SAPWIN?
Thank you,
Claire

URGENT: Smartform - Attaching Font to Device Type and Printing

Hello Smarform Gurus,
I have uploaded CORPOS font to SAP and using in SMARTFORMS. Whenever the PDF is called for invoice, it should print immediately.
When I open the smartform and then print, the printout is coming fine with CORPOS font.
Problem: When Invoice is created and PDF is called immediately, the prinout is not coming properly. It's because the printer device type KYOFS150 we are using does not support CORPOS. Pls let me know the options we have. We have also referred to SAP note 12462.
Thanks in advance,
Abhishek

Hi
U need to update the printer device type KYOFS150 or use another one supports that font

Device type and print options

Hi all,
The device type HP LJ 4350 enables print options and allow us to set which paper tray is to used in a specific form.
However, our usual supplier does not sell this device type anymore.
Does anyone know another device type that could allow tray configuration in the SPAD transaction?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Take a look at SAP note #1049778. For recent releases, the device type HP4350 should be already available in transaction SPAD n the system.
Also as per SAP note #1049778, most of the new device types that were developed within the SAP Printer Vendor program (SAP note #1130927) support the new print options.(see SAP note #1103422)

Device type for printer LOCL

Hi everyone,
Do you know a device type for LOCL that will be suitable for all the formats? Our users are using printer LOCL. We Had an issue before that the font of the printout is larger than the usual so we changed the device type. Recently, another user complained because the font of his printout is smaller than the usual. These are two different users with two different types of output devices but both are using printer LOCL. A change in the device type will correct one issue but will raise another. Please help. Thanks.

Dear Sheryl,
Check if you maintained value '__DEFAULT' for Host Printer under Access Method.
Also, Device Class is Standard Printer.

Device Type to print Vietnamese Characters

Hi Gurus,
I can print Vietnamese characters in a laser printer using the device type SWINCF and Access Method F (Frontend printing).
Now I want to print using Access Method U (Print using Berkeley Protocol) in a network printer (located overseas). I am using a unicode device type ZHPUTF8F because our SAP system is running under Unicode (ECC 6.0). Unfortunately the printout for the Vietnamese characters are wrong (garbage characters). Is it possible to print Vietnamese characters using a device type other than SWINCF? The printer model that I am testing with is HPLJ 4250.
One more thing, we will be needing to print using a dot matrix printer. Is there a specific device type that can print Vietnamese characters for dot matrix printer (e.g. Printronix)?
Thanks,
Andre

Hi Andre,
did you check SAP note 750219 that all listed prerequisites are met ?
Regarding other printers and Unicode support, please have a look at:

Which device type support Unicode printing ?

Hi all,
Do you know which cascading font device types support Customer-defined true type fonts ?
I use HP LaserJet printer. I've imported ZSWINCF device type in to SAP system and installed some true type fonts required for my report. It's able to print <b>Unicode </b>text in ABAP List but unable in SAPScript/Smartform printing.
I also try to use ZHPUTF8 or HPUTF8, and install these fonts. But i've problem in printing out.
Do you know how to resolve this problem ?
Thanks,
Best regards,

Hi
see this OSS notes may be useful
OSSNote:960341
Symptom
In some device types (e.g HPLJ4, HPLJ5) you experience non-uniform character spacing in the PDF document after the PDF conversion of SAPscript or Smart Forms documents, using HELVE or TIMES fonts. You want to know the reason.
Other terms
CONVERT_OTF, SAPscript, Smart Forms
Reason and Prerequisites
The problem is not due to an error in the PDF converter but due to the fact, that the printer font, underlying the device type (e.g. Univers or CG Times in PCL-5 device types), is not available for the PDF converter and is either not available in Adobe Reader. The PDF converter has to try to simulate the layout of the printer font by means of a font which is predefined in Adobe Reader. This is done by assigning the letter widths of the printer font to the font used in Adobe Reader.
The PDF file contains a table with letter widths, used by Adobe Reader in the output of text, for each used printer font (except PostScript fonts).
Example:
%Charwidth values from HP4300 HELVE 060 normal
/Widths
[ 278 333 500 633 633 1000 758 333 333 333 633...
Adobe reader converts this width table, by modifying the space between each character, so that the specified letter width (= space between the current and the next letter) is kept.
This 'Simulation' of printer fonts results in the sometimes visible irregular spaces in PDF.
The PDF converter always uses the Helvetica Adobe PostScript font for the display of HELVE and the Times Roman Adobe PostScript font for the display of TIMES. However, for these Adobe PostScript fonts, Adobe Reader often uses a Windows TrueType font, which differs slightly from the original PostScript font.
Solution
Workaround: Use the POST2 PostScript device type or the PDF1 PDF device type for the PDF conversion of documents in the Latin-1 character set. They both use the Adobe PostScript fonts Helvetica or Times Roman for the HELVE/TIMES printer fonts.

Symptom
Documents printed via SAPscript or SmartForms do not print with correct special characters, e.g. ### prints instead of Japanese or Russian characters. What to do?
Other terms
SAPscript, SmartForms, printing, device types, OTF
Reason and Prerequisites
Help required to choose proper fonts in a SAPscript or SmartForm
Solution
When using SAPscript or SmartForms to print (or email or fax) a form from a business application, many factors influence the outcome of the actual text within the form. All these factors must be checked in order to ensure a correct printout:
1) The language version of the form used to produce the printout.
Example: If you want to print a French invoice, you need to have a FR version of your SAPscript or SmartForms invoice form RVINVOICE01. And the application program must specify the corresponding language key (FR) when calling the SAPscript or SmartForms API.
2) The font selections specified in the form (possibly also in a SAPscript style or SmartStyle used in a form).
Example: In a SAPscript form or a SmartStyle you need to specify HELVE if you want to print German text in Helvetica (or similar) font. If you want to print Japanese text, HELVE is not a valid choice but you need to specify a Japanese font like JPMINCHO in your Japanese form.
3) The output character set of the device type
Every printer in transaction SPAD has a "device type" assigned. Device types used by the spooler for printing support only one single specific output character set. All text from the form has to be converted (using SAP's built-in character conversion mechanism) to this output character set.
A character set can typically support either a single language (e.g. Shift-JIS which supports only Japanese) or a set of languages (e.g. ISO 8859-1, which supports Western-European languages). It is possible that a given language (such as German) can be supported by several output character sets, e.g. you may use either ISO 8895-1 (Latin-1) or ISO 8859-2 (Latin-2) to represent German text. This is so because both character sets contain the special characters used in German.
Example: HPLJ4000 is a HP LaserJet device type supporting the ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) character set. ISO 8859-1 can be used to represent e.g. Dutch, English, French, German, Spanish, Swedish but NOT Russian or Japanese.
As a consequence, it is ok to use HPLJ4000 to print English, German French etc. but not for Japanese or Russian.
4) The set of available printer fonts for a given device type
When formatting a document, SAPscript and SmartForms perform an automatic mapping of the font definitions in the form (e.g. "HELVE 14 point bold") and the available printer fonts of the device type. A replacement printer font is chosen, should the specified font selection not be available in the device type. Now this replacement can be problematic if a language-specific font, such as Chinese CNSONG, is specified in a form and it gets replaced by a font which does not support this language, e.g. COURIER.
To solve this problem, font families in SE73 have language attribute assigned, e.g. some fonts are characterized as being suitable only for certain languages. And when a replacement has to be chosen because the original font from the form is not available in the device type, a replacement font is chosen which has the same language attributes.
If no fonts for the language in question exist in the device type, the resulting font will not be able to print the special characters and you will see "wrong" output characters in the printout.
Note on SAPscript/SmartForms Print Preview:
The OTF Print Preview available in Windows GUI (e.g. from transaction SP01) will sometimes not show the "wrong" characters which appear on the final printout. Here is the reason: since the Print Preview runs in Windows environment, it will use Windows fonts to represent the actual printer fonts. A Windows font typically has more available characters (i.e. covers more character sets) than are actually available in a printer's resident font.
A typical example where the Print Preview will differ from the printout is here: if you have a Chinese PCL5 printer such as CNHPLJ4 and use the Western Latin font COURIER in your document, the print preview will show you Chinese characters if you (by accident) tried to format Chinese characters in COURIER font. This is because Windows will automatically choose a font that can output Chinese characters (which is actually not Courier). But when you print the job on an actual PCL5 printer with resident Western and Chinese fonts, the Courier font will not print any Chinese characters but Western special characters instead, because the printer's resident Courier font does not include Chinese characters.
Rule of thumb: all Asian device types (e.g. CNHPLJ4, JPHPLJ4, JPPOST, KPHPLJ4) support not only Asian fonts but also COURIER, HELVE and TIMES fonts. But these Latin fonts can only be used to print English text, not Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters.

Verify your output by examining the OTF data
When analysing printing problems of this type, be sure to check the OTF data which gets produced by SAPscript or SmartForms. OTF or "Output Text Format" is the intermediate page-description format generated from SAPscript or SmartForms. OTF will contain the final printer font names and character set/language identifiers which help to solve the problem. OTF will even name the form and the language of the form used to create the output.
The easiest way to do this is to create a spool request from your application, run transaction SP01, use menu
Goto->Display Requests->Settings
and choose
Display Mode: Raw
Now display your spool request. If this is a SAPscript or SmartForms spool request, you will see OTF data. Each line represents one OTF command, every command starts with a 2-character cmd identifier and possibly some cmd parameters follow.
Here is an excerpt from a sample OTF file where we highlight the most interesting commands:
//XHPLJ8000    0700 00000000001
IN04EALEXTEST_ZEBRA
IN05%PAGE1
OPDINA4 P 144 240 1683811906000010000100001
IN06%WINDOW2
MT0024401289
CP11000000E

UL +0000000000000
SW00067
CT00000000
ST0453037Dieses SF hat Stil ALEXTEST_ZEBRA mit
The 1st line with the // (Control) command reveals the device type usedto print: HPLJ8000
//XHPLJ8000    0700 00000000001
The 2nd line (IN = Info command) shows the name and (internal 1-char)language key of the form:
IN04EALEXTEST_ZEBRA
In this case it is the English (E = EN) SmartForm ALEXTEST_ZEBRA
The OP-line (OP = Open Page) gives the page format used in the form, it is DINA4 Portrait orientation:
OPDINA4 P 144 240 1683811906000010000100001
The CP (CodePage) cmd shows the SAP system codepage used to code the text and the active language. In our case it is codepage 1100 and language E = EN = English.
CP11000000E
Finally, the FC-cmd (Font Call) lists a printer font selected within SmartForms. Please note that every SmartForm has a designated default SmartStyle under "Form Attributes->Output Options". In addition, every text node can have a SmartStyle attached (which will override the definitions from the default style for the text). In our case the resulting printer font that was selected is HELVE 12.0 pt bold-off, italic-off.

Retro entires in HR Forms are not printed when using device type ZHPP3005

Hi All,
We are doing a HCM implementation. We are using HP P3005n printer and ZHPP3005 device type to print our HR forms. We are using ZCalibri font.These are smartforms. Everything was printing perfectly.
Then there were retro calculations made to these forms.Strangely, the forms doesn't display these retro entries in the print preview using ZHPP3005 device type. Only the retro entries throughout the form are not printing. All other entries get printed.
When we use device type HPLJIIID, we get these retro entries printed in our form however the format of the form gets changed.
Now, we want to use device type ZHPP3005 and get these retro entries printed. How would we achieve this? Is this a device type issue? Or, anything needs to be done in the smartform? Why is this issue?
Please help. Quick response will be appreciated. We are nearing our Go Live date and needs this resolved immediately.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
Check the assigned page format to your custom device type. Try to assign all the page format which are available for
HP*** which you gives you desired result.

Transport of device types

Hi,
I did a upload of a device type (Z printer driver) to SAP.
But now, I need to transport it to QAS environment.
How Do I do to put this device in a change request?
(I forgot how to do this)
Thanks and regards,
Dany Anderson

Hello Dany,
Probably the below procedure might help:
Use the program RSTXSCRP:
Download the definition from the "source" R/3 System.
Start RSTXSCRP with the following arguments:
Mode: Export
Object: prin
Object name: <device type name>
Example: Entering HPLJIIID would download the device type definition for Hewlett-Packard LaserJet IIID printers, HPLJIIID.
Dataset: <path name>
Path and file name for the download file. Omit the file name extension. The download file is automatically given the extension.pri. The R/3 System must have write access to the directory that you specify.
Upload the definition into the "destination" R/3 System. If the "destination" application server is on another host system than the "source" server, then the download directory must be accessible from the host system of the "destination" server.
Start RSTXSCRP with the following arguments:
Mode: Import
Object: prin
Object name: <device type name>
Example: Entering HPLJIIID would upload the device type definition stored in <path name> as device type definition HPLJIIID for Hewlett-Packard LaserJet IIID printers.
Dataset: <path name>
Path and file name of the RSTXSCRP file that is to be uploaded. The R/3 System must have write access to the directory that you specify.
RSTXSCRP in IMPORT mode overwrites existing device type definitions. Data loss (overwriting an R/3 standard printer definition or a definition of your own) is possible.

ABAP list report wont print on Z device type with Z format

Our developer have created a report which outputs data in ABAP list format and the standard format would not fit. We have since created a custom format and copied a device type in to custom device type. So we now have a custom format and custom device type. However when we print, it spools correctly and shows as green but the report wont print. The only thing that gets printed is
"Sort criteria AscdgDescndSubtotalGRAND TOTAL : X X PROJ" "
The abap list format is Z_100_500. Basically the report has 450 columns and hence we created this format.
I am not sure what this means. I have been advised by SAP to follow instruction on note 17895 - Adapting print list formats for customers however i cant fully comprehend point 5 of the note and I believe this is why it wont print. Has anyone adapted ABAP list using this note. Can you please let me know how i should go about printer initialisation mentioned in the noted.
We have checked everything however dont seem to get around the issue. Any ideas will be appreciated
