Duplex printing for smartform

Hi,
Has anyone worked on Duplex printing for smartform? If yes, please tell me the procedure/steps that need to be taken for the same.
Thanks
Regards

Hi,
You can select Duplex printing in th epage properties of a page (D = Duplex)
The printer STARTS duplex printing from that page. This means that the printer triggers a pagefeed on that exact moment and starts printing on a new page. So when you have 1 page that stretches over more that one sheet of paper this means trouble. after every page the flow of the program starts a new Duplex print (thus feeding the current sheet and starts at a new page) this results in a new sheet of paper every page. this is not what you want.
You can solve this by creating 2 pages and set their respective NEXT PAGE to each other. Page 1 you set to DUplex, pagae 2 you leave blank..
But notice that when you select duplex printing most (if not all) printers start printing on the backside of the paper. When you use pre-printed (logo) paper, you will find that it prints the front on the back etc.
This can sometimes be corrected (if needed) by sending prescribe commands to the printer directly.
Good luck!

Issue with character formats using duplex printing in smartform

Hi all,
I am getting a problem with character formats using duplex printing in smartform. I am using a text module with a bold character to display text in a window. The problem is that on the first back page,the text is being printed normally (without bold), but on the next pages, the back pages are being printed with the bold character format.
Can anyone know where is the problem..please.
Points to be rewarded..
Thanks.
Regards,
Zaheed.

Hi Zaheed,
Normally this should not happen.. and also there is no internal formatting done by SAP.. it will show based on what fomatting option we have specified..
If you are saying it is happening in ur case then
     1. Recheck whether whether you have same text module getting printed on the
         two page. If they are different then then individual check formatting option for
         each..
      2. If above point does'nt work for you ..then instead of bold char use normal
          format for text element and see if it is printing same on both page..
Try this out and let us know your findings...
Enjoy SAP.

How do I set up automatic duplex printing for my HP Laserjet Pro400 M401n series?

How do I set up automatic duplex printing for my HP Laserjet Pro400 M401n series from my PC using windows 8?

Thanks for your reply.
Looks like I didn't do enough research as the HP site said it's available however upon further investigation only manual duplexing is available with drivers installed.

Duplex printing for LaserJet Pro 1100

Directions for manual duplex printing for LaserJet P1102w

Since this is not an auto duplex printer, you will need to go into your printer properties and set the allow manual duplex check box. Once you have set it there it will duplex all the time.
Start menu >Device and Printers Folder > Right click on the printer > choose printer preferences > finishing tab (I think that is what it is called, if not look for the tab that has...print on both sides (manually) or allow manually duplexing (Sorry, I don't have this printer hooked up to a test box or I would get you a screenshot )
If you want to only duplex certain jobs, then you can do this through the application at the time you pick your printer by selecting printer properties (located under your printer selection button) and setting it for only that one job.
Open application > File > Print > Printer Properties > finishing tab (steps are the same as above)
Just remember...
Box checked = duplex (default option so this should already be set unless you have unchecked it)
Box unchecked = not duplex
Last word of caution on these instructions...you may have some variation as I am going off my memory here....my printer is not hooked up.

Problem with duplex printing in smartforms

I have 2 pages in my smartform. both the page are with print mode 'D'(Duplex).
While printing the first page goes back for duplex printing but the output is printed on next page.
I want the second page to be printed at backside.
I have also tried other combination 1st page = D and 2nd page = ''. Nothing is working.
printer settings are all right also i have a different smartform it is printing in duplex mode and working fine.
what is the issue with this smartform?
Please help me.

hi,
in your main window of first page at the end adda an alternative -true or false
in the alternative add a condition saying if it is end of items.(end of items is nothing but a flag).
if this condition satisfies then call page 2 else call page1.
if it stil does not work then reply back then will give you another answer.
but before this is your output going to have multiple pages?

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 for Officejet 5740

I recently purchased an Officejet All-In-One 5740 printer. I did not realize that automatic duplex was a default and not an option. I can't find a way to change to 1-sided print (there is no selection in Properties). Is there an allowance for 1-sided print for this model printer?
This question was solved.

Hi,
From the application used to print open teh Print dialog, then click on Properties / Settings / Preferences to access the Printing Preferences dialog.
Within the Layout tab set Two-Sided printing as Off, confirm the changes and try printing again.
Additionally from the Control Panel open Devices and Printersm right click the printer icon and select Printing Preferences.
Ensure the same that Two-Sided printing is disabled to ensure it is diabled by default.

Duplex Printing for MX922

Hey I didn't see this in the forums anywhere so thought I'd make a new topic.
How do I duplex print with the mx922? I'm printing from a USB stick and can't seem to find how to print both sides of the paper.
Bonus question: my printer only seems to accept jpegs. I've tried PDFs and it keeps telling me the format us not supported. That can't be true, eh?

Hi,
Some printer servers (host spool systems) do not handle the copy counter sent by R/3 spool system. What's the setting in SPAD for copy counter on the output device you ar using:
and can you try "Pass Copies as Separate Output Request" if it is not yet set?
Edit in: and is there no exception processing just because you shortended code for posting here, or is there really no exception processing after FM calls..? Please... if someone (possibly "fresher") having to look for hours to get to the source of wierd problems after inheriting your work (and then cursing when he/she finally sees missing exception processing) does not worry you, every time somebody neglects to process exceptions when programming with smartforms, enraged programming gods kill a kitten, and a timid "fresher" somewhere is made to do SAP assignment before being given training, guidance and friendly encouragement, and Larry Ellison's "henchmen" get to badmouth HANA... Please, think of the "freshers" and kittens At least take the exceptions out of the call so the thing dumps, should anything untoward happen...
cheers

Duplex Printing for HP Color LaserJet CP4005dn Setup

How can I get my duplex printing to show up/work from the printer pop-up menu. Have installed all HP CP4005dn drivers. Installed the printer with all installable options. Printer works fine except no duplex print options. Have followed Mac Help's "Displaying a printer's special features when you print" to the letter. Nada. Have UNinstalled the printer. Downloaded all Mac updates. Downloaded all HP updates. Have reinstalled the CP4005 printer with intallable options. Still no duplex print options. Where is the miss? Why can't I get the duplex to function?

Have you taken a look to the configuration of the Printer? I have a HP 2340 with duplex and to configure it I have to do the following:
On the Preferences Pane, click on Printing and Fax or open the Printer configuration Utility. In any case, click on the printer and choose "Configuration of the printer" (in the Printer utility this is in the pritner menu). Then you will see information of the printer... May be there you have an option to activate the duplex... In may case there is a checkbox.
But may be you have done this...
Bests,
Álvaro

Set Simplex/Duplex Print for Adobe Reader documents

Hi,
I'm developing documents using Adobe Acrobat Pro that our users will open with Adobe Reader 8.0 or higher. I need to set the Simplex/Duplex print parameters individually by each document.
I've tried adding trusted javascript in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\Javascripts directory. I can set the number of copies and lastPage properties but no luck with Simplex/Duplex.
my script includes pp.DuplexType = pp.constants.duplexTypes.DuplexFlipLongEdge;
The Simplex/Duplex works if the document is opened with Adobe Acrobat Pro but not using Adobe Reader 8.0
I see a posting suggesting "Cos level APIs - see the PDF Reference 1.7" but do not find anything in PDF Reference 1.7.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
I see Acrobat/Reader 9.0 is available. Is there anything regarding passing collate=true/false in 9.0?

Zebra printing for smartforms

Hi
SAP version ecc6.0
I want to roate a single text on the lable by 270 degrees. I have searched this forum and came to know about including a print control. therfore for the device type lzeb2( 200 dpi print head) created a print control z270 with the following A0BFD.
description of the command
Description The ^A command specifies the font to use in a text field. ^A designates the
font for the current ^FD statement or field. The font specified by ^A is used only once for that
^FD entry. If a value for ^A is not specified again, the default ^CF font is used for the next
^FD entry.
Format ^Afo,h,w
This table identifies the parameters for this format:
Important u2022 Parameter f is required. If f is omitted it defaults to the last value of the ^CF
command.
Command Details
f = font name Accepted Values: A through Z, and 0 to 9
Any font in the printer (downloaded, EPROM, stored fonts, fonts A
through Z and 0 to 9).
o = field orientation Accepted Values:
N = normal
R = rotated 90 degrees (clockwise)
I = inverted 180 degrees
B = read from bottom up, 270 degrees
Default Value: the last accepted ^FW value or the ^FW default
^FD means field data
my questions
Do i have have to create a print control for 300 dpi printer or is there a differenet universal solution?
secondly with ^A i specify the type of font i use....i simply don't wont to be concerned with the type of font? I want to use what is used in the smartform?
thirdly the text to be printed it as the right hand side of the label so in order to see that the text gets printed i have to create
which simply exceeds the length of the label length, but it achieves the rotation and the printing is within the label itself...strange
do you guys have any alternative solution / recommendations
thanks
Sachin

correction for the below text in the thread
"thirdly the text to be printed it as the right hand side of the label so in order to see that the text gets printed i have to create
which simply exceeds the length of the label length, but it achieves the rotation and the printing is within the label itself...strange"
thirdly the text to be printed it as the right hand side of the label so in order to see that the text gets printed , i create a window
that is horizontal but exceeds the length of the lable, but usiing the aforementioned command prints the text roated by 270 degress and within the label, so the text printed is within the label.
I find it strange

How do I turn off duplex printing for Photosmart 7520

When printing boarding passes, tickets, or legal forms, I want to print on one side only. However, I do not find this option anywhere, and I am forced to print one page at a time.

What is the OS and version? On Windows, if you want a printer settings to stay, you change it in the system print property, if you change it in the pop up when printing, typically it's considered per session and the change don't stick. If you change a setting in a specific app (word, adobe), they may or maynot send that info to the printer.
If you are using presets, after making the changes, you may be able to save a new preset with the wanted properties and use the new preset from now on for the type of print jobs (e.g. save a preset named "boarding pass")

Smartform duplex printing with tray resource

Hi All,
I am trying to set duplex printing from smartform. It works well only when I do not pass tray information in the Page output options. If I pass the resource name then I can't get the duplex printing to work. Is it possible to do both of them together? Please advice.
Thanks.
Edited by: Sat R on Jan 20, 2011 8:54 PM

I was able to get the duplex working by having tray resource only on the first page and keeping it clear on the next page.
