Dot matrix printer + page settings

Hi friends
I am creating an invoice layout for output in dot matrix printer . I am getting the layout prints properly but if 2 printouts are taken at a time by making the no. of messages in the invoice(vf02) as 2 , In the second page the details start printing from the middle of the page.
Why is this.
Kindly kindly help me.
It is very urgent.
Rgds

Hi Surya,
   It may be due to the form feed option in the printer controls of your page format. Please check your SPAD settings for this page format.
TCode->SPAD->Full Administration->select your output type->click formats->Execute.
  Here you can see your page formats print controls. In this check the end of page action. It should contain
formfeed

Thanks and Regards,

  • Help needed on Dot Matrix Printer Settings

    Hi all,
    We have a requirement to print some documents on a dot matrix printer.
    I have created a device choosing SWIN as the device type & also assigned my Z page formats to this device type.
    But printing with this device type takes a long time. So, to reduce the time, if I choose any one among  EPESCP/EPESCP2/EPESCP9/EPLQ550 etc as my device types, the printing gets fast, but the quality of the output is very bad ( its getting printed with a single font though I change the font & its size). Moreover the lines are not getting printed at the desired place on the page.
    We are using a printer(TVS) which is Epson 24 Pin compatible.
    Kindly help us if someone has any idea on this kind of printer settings.
    Thanks & regards,
    JITHENDRA

    Try OKI341 instead of SWIN.
    It seems a bit more forgiving.

  • Page not printing on Dot Matrix Printer

    Dear Experts,
    I had requirment to print the PO layout on a stationary which is bigger than a4 and bit lesser than a3
    I found that page as 370(Width) and 295(hight). So according to it I created a new page format in SAP coz I didnt have any page format near to it. For setting up the new page format I did these steps:
    1) Page Format
    2) Format Types
    3) Device Types.
    All these are done. also I have attached my Z smartform in the NEU output type in NACE.
    Now when I excute SF and try to print that its not getting triggering on the printer.
    I have taken printer as LP01.
    Please suggest. Where I am wrong.
    -=Soni=-

    Hi,
    You need to assign the created page format to the device type used. Which device type is defined in output device LP01? Also if it is a device type with Line Printer Driver II, you also need to add the commands in the Printer Initialization action of the page format within the device type with commands to tell the printer the length of the page.

    Change SEQUENCE = "213" to SEQUENCE = "218" in the Task ID Field component. That will solve the issue.

When the same O/P is printed through normal mode of dot matrix printer it is getting printed in the print out.
    The client want all the Invoices to get printed in this format as it requires least usage of ink.
    with regards,

  • Problem with countinuous paper printing in dot matrix printer

    Hi All,
      I have problem with dot matrix printer (Devise Type EPESCP) while printing continuos printing. If  i am printing 2 or more than that prints at a time, 2nd page is printing 5 lines up.
    I have developed one smartform for this and i have used A4 size page format.
    I have tried to change the Printer initialization code to 86 lines for DINA4.  Still no change in continuous printing.

    Hi Vishnu,
    Above you have the following commands:
    set line spacing 6 LPI
    \e\0x32
    set page length 86 lines
    \e\0x43\0x46
    46 HEX = 70
    So the above settings mean 70 lines at 6 LPI = 11.66 inches.
    So is the paper length 11.66 inches? If not, you should adjust the settings accordingly.
    Regards,
    Aidan

  • SAPSCRIPT problem in printing on Dot Matrix Printer

    Hi!
    I have a SAPSCRIPT Form with page format INCH12. The SAPSCRIPT output is displayed properly in print preview. But when it is sent for printing on the Dot matrix printer the first three lines of the second page are printed on the first page at the bottom. Paper size is also 12INCH. I tried adjusting all the windows and putting blank lines. I also gave /: NEW-PAGE command. But it did not solve the problem.
    I am not able to identify where exactly the problem is? Is it in the SAPSCRIPT or in printer settings.
    If anyone had faced similar problem and was able to solve it then please reply.

    Hi
    if it is possible try to print the same in another printer and confirm the problem
    no doubt certain printers may create such problems while printing the output
    so to confirm the problem try with other printer.

  • Printing in Dot Matrix Printer

    Hi to all,
      As we know that the dos matrix printer supports dos prompt and thus printing speed and 
    life of the printing head is comparatively more than what we print the same in graphical format.
      So when I tried to print from SAP Bone in dot matrix printer, the printing speed is very slow and quality of printout is not good enough.
      Any clarifications on this regard would prove very helpful to me.
    Regards,

    Do you use one of this printer types:
    Dot Matrix, Printer, Needle Printer, Citizen ProDot 300 , Oki Microline
    , Epson FX880, Epson FX890 ?
    Here the stepwise I have tried :
    In order to print using Dot Matrix printers, follow the below
    instructions:
       1. Run SAP Business One.
       2. Click the upper menu 'File' and select 'Page Setup'.
       3. The Print Setup window opens. Under 'Paper', in the field 'Size', select 'Letter' from the drop down menu.
       4. Click OK to confirm your selection.
       5. On your desktop, click Start => Settings => Printers.
       6. Right click on the required Dot Matrix printer and select 'Printing Preferences...'.
       7. Click the 'Paper/Quality' tab page and click the 'Advanced' pushbutton.
       8. Under'Paper/Output'=> 'Paper Size', click on the underlined paper size(e.g. A4) and select 'Letter' from the drop down menu.
    Note that if you leave the value 'A4', each page will be spreaded over 2 pages when printing using Dot Matrix printers.
       1. Under 'Graphic'=> 'Print Quality', click on the underlined value (e.g. 230X250 dots per inch) and select '120X144 dots per inch' from thedrop down menu.
    Note that in case the value '120X144' is not available you should select a similar value from the list.
    After you do the stepwise, I am sure there will no problem any more. The slowly printing mostly caused by printer type and your hardware specifications for example your LAN, etc..
    good luck...

  • Sales invoice Smartform printing in dot matrix printer in sucession

    Dear all,
    I am trying to Print Sales invoice on Dot matrix Printer.
    My First Invoice is printed ok, but if i try to print second invoice without manually adjusting the paper the alignment on printer goes haywiered.
    Do we have some option in smartform where we can trigger new page command.
    Regards,
    Gaurav Sood

    Hi Amiya,
    you need to check the paperformat which is used. I'm pretty sure that there is a wrong paperformat selected. The supported paperformats are published in the official documentation of the printer-model.

  • Problem with custom paper size on dot matrix printer

    Hi All,
    I'm using CR2008 with updated to SP2. I have a problem with custom paper size (W=21; H=14), the CR Viewer show report with custom paper size correctly but when I print it to a dot matrix printer (Epson LQ 300+) the content was rotated to landscape. If print to a laser printer the content was printed correctly. My report was printed correctly by CR10 or previous versions I got this issue when upgraded to CR2008. I aslo tested my computer and printer with orther application like MS Word the printing have no problem with custom paper size.
    Thanks for any advice for me.
    Han

    Looking at the Epson LQ 300+ driver, I see that the latest update is from 2002. In my experience, most matrix printer drivers are not unicode. Crystal Reports is designed to only work with unicode printer drivers. See the [How Printer Driver Options Affect a Report|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/a09051e9-721e-2b10-11b6-f9c65c64ef29&overridelayout=true] article, page 6 for details. Also, see [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_dev/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes.do] note.
    Finally, see if you can print from the CR designer to this printer and if you get the correct results here.

    Draft mode is not by font.  It is a specific printer mode.  If you can not manually setup the mode, B1 may not have any abilities to print in this mode.

    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?

  • Smartforms Printing not coming properly in dot matrix printer

    Hi Gurus,
    We have implemented invoice printout using smartforms and required to use the dot matrix printer for printing.
    We are now facing the problem on the printout from dot matrix is different from the preview we get in the system. But the printout from Laser Jet is coming out correctly for the same smartforms.
    We are using EPSON DLQ3000 and we configure the output device using EPESCP2 as the Device Type. The problem is font size of the print out is all printed as courier size 12, but there are different font sizes in the smartforms.
    But when we use local printing (using SAPLPD), there is no problem, all different font size is printed.
    If we using to same output device to print some sapscript, everything is working well. Font size will print accordingly to the preview of the sapscript.
    Do you have any idea of the problem that we have. Thanks for your help.
    Regards,
    Lee Shi

    Dear Lee,
    Ideally the printout should come as it is shown in the preview.I remember once it had happened with me too.But in my case there is no problem with the settings at SAP level.When we checked we found the problem is with the printer cartridge.
    We co-ordinated with the system administrator and n/w guys.They in turn change the cartridge and issue was fixed.
    PS:In my case all SAP printout were coming properly except the smartforms.
