Embedding PCL Commands for Print Tray Setting

I find from Creating RTF Templates - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) that PCL commands can be embedded in the RTF template. Can PCL command indicating the paper source tray be specified?
For example, embed EC&l1H to the 1st page while EC&4H in the 2nd page.

Solution
You have to access this from the UI and not the control panel
- IP into the laserprinter
-Select Settings Tab
-Configure Device (left side)
-Expand "Configure Device" in the center of the page
-Expand "Printing"
-Expand "PCL"
- at the very bottom "Media Source Mapping"...set it to Classic from Standard.
Worked!

PIXMA MG8220 default page size for printing is set incorrectly to 6x4, need Letter

I have a PIXMA MG8220, and the default page size for printing is set incorrectly to 6x4, I need it to be Letter paper size. I'm wasting a lot of paper, and cannot figure how to reset the defaults on the printer vs. individual laptops using the printer?Simon

Hi simonp, To set the paper size to be printed on, please follow these steps: 1. Open an application such as TextEdit. 2. Go up to File and select Print, or press the CMD+P keys on your keyboard. 3. Locate the PAPER SIZE field, then select the LETTER paper size. 4. Look for the drop-down menu labeled PRESETS, then expand this menu and choose SAVE AS.
5. Type in a name of your choice for this default setting, then click OK.
You will now be able to select the above created preset from any application you print from, with the default paper size being Letter. Hope this helps!

WMI calls for Printer Tray information?

Greetings,
I am doing a print server rebuild to move our printers from a 2003 server to a 2012R2 server. Please keep in mind that this is not technically a migration since we are not porting over drivers. We are replacing all printer drivers with the latest
Universal driver for each manufacturer (HP, Konica-Minolta, Kyocera, Lexmark, etc ...). The print servers will have approximately 1,500 printers on each. For reasons I won't get into they cannot be split up. These print servers handle all
printing for a broad use application. Our process for adding these print servers to the application uses a specialized *.exe file that when run does some type of WMI call or other query to get the printer
tray information and an associated BIN number from the driver/printer, problem is that it can only handle 1 printer at a time and takes several minutes for each one in order to complete. But I don't know how & I am
having difficulty coming up with a WMI query that I can run to gather that data, which will then be fed into an SQL database. I'm not worried about the SQL part, someone else will do that. What I need is to be able to gather the tray or paper source
information from each printer.
Any assistance appreciated.

HI
GOOD
GO THROUGH THIS
A barcode solution consists of the following:
- a barcode printer
- a barcode reader
- a mobile data collection application/program
A barcode label is a special symbology to represent human readable information such as a material number or batch number
in machine readable format.
There are different symbologies for different applications and different industries. Luckily, you need not worry to much about that as the logistics supply chain has mostly standardized on 3 of 9 and 128 barcode symbologies - which all barcode readers support and which SAP support natively in it's printing protocols.
You can print barcodes from SAP by modifying an existing output form.
Behind every output form is a print program that collects all the data and then pass it to the form. The form contains the layout as well as the font, line and paragraph formats. These forms are designed using SAPScript (a very easy but frustratingly simplistic form format language) or SmartForms that is more of a graphical form design tool.
Barcodes are nothing more than a font definition and is part of the style sheet associated with a particular SAPScript form. The most important aspect is to place a parameter in the line of the form that points to the data element that you want to represent as barcode on the form, i.e. material number. Next you need to set the font for that parameter value to one of the supported barcode symbologies.
The next part of the equation can be a bit tricky as you will need to get a printer to print that barcode font. Regular laser printers does not normally print barcode fonts, only specialized industrial printers that is specifically designed to support that protocol and that uses specialized label media and heat transfer (resin) ribbon to create the sharp image required for barcodes.
Not to fear though, there are two ways to get around this:
- You can have your IT department do some research -
most laser printers can accept a font cartridge/dimm chip (similar to computer memory), called a BarDIMM that will allow a laser printer to support the printing of barcodes.
- Secondly, you can buy software that you can upload in your SAP print Server that will convert the barcode symbology as an image that will print on a regular laser printer. I found that this option results in less sharper barcodes. This option is really if you need to convert a large quantity of printers (>10) to support barcodes.
- Thirdly, you can buy a third party software like Barcode.dll and install on your frontend PC connected to the laser printer.
Now you have a barcode printed - what next?
Well there are two options, depending on your business requirements:
- You can use an existing SAP transaction on a regular workstation and get a barcode wedge reader to hook up between the keyboard and the PC. These wedge readers comes in a wand or scanner format. There are even wireless wedge scanners available that allows you to roam a few yards from the workstation to scan a label. This approach is mostly used where you want to prevent human errors in typing in long material, batch or serial numbers in receiving or issuing of material. The problem is that it's just replacing the keyboard input and you are basically locked down in one location and have to bring all the material to that location to process.
- Another solution is to use SAPConsole transactions
or write your own ABAP Dialog programs that will fit onto a barcode enabled wireless handheld terminal and that will follow the business logic as executed on the shop floor.
These programs are highly complex exercises in industrial engineering and ergonomics because of the limited screen sizes and limited ability to accept keyboard input. The user is instructed step-by-step and only scan and push F-keys to interact with the SAP system. Scan, scan, beep, beep, enter - highly automated.

SUBMIT command; for print dialog box-how to pass parameter here?

Hi Gurus,
I am calling a report from another report. Inside report_2 i am using,
When i execute report2, i get a PRINT DIALOG BOX
Here i need to enter the output device name. and again excute.
I am not able to automate this in my program. Could you suggest?
Through F1 help, i found the screen_field name(of the output device parameter) to be 'SFPOUTPAR-DEST'
and i enter default output device 'PDEST'
where do i give this?
and also, after this, i need to do a 'Print Preview' action and see if file is opening up.
Can i automate these actions?
I am using:
rspar_line-selname = 'SFPOUTPAR-DEST'. // the output device parameter name
rspar_line-kind = 'S'.
rspar_line-sign = 'I'.
rspar_line-option = 'EQ'.
rspar_line-low = 'PDEST'. // PDEST is the default value i want to pass
APPEND rspar_line TO rspar_tab.
Then i do, (inside report 2....)
SUBMIT report_1
WITH SELECTION-TABLE rspar_tab
AND RETURN.
Its not working... i just get the print dialog box(without values being defaulted)
How do i proceed?
Thanks,
Rashmi

Hi
You can do the following way.

          lv_user_name      type char16,
          lv_user_name0     like tbtcjob-authcknam.
lv_user_name = sy-uname.
lv_user_name0 = sy-uname.
call function 'LOAD_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
       exporting
            key            = lv_user_name
       importing
            out_parameters = lv_pri_params
       exceptions
            error_occured = 1
            others         = 2.
if sy-subrc <> 0 or lv_pri_params-pdest is initial.
    select single padest into lv_pri_params-pdest from tsp03.
endif.
submit report1
    with selection-table rspar_tab
             destination             lv_pri_params-pdest
             copies                  lv_pri_params-prcop
             list name               lv_pri_params-plist
             immediately             space
             keep in spool           'X'
             new list identification 'X'
             line-count              lv_pri_params-linct
             line-size               lv_pri_params-linsz
             sap cover page          lv_pri_params-prsap
             cover page              lv_pri_params-prbig
             without spool dynpro
             user lv_user_name
             and return.

Request to let me know replacement command for the Translate command.

Hi,
Code Inspector show that Translate command is obsolete. please let me know the alternate command to be used for the Translate.
Thanks & Regards,
Madhuri.

Hi,
no alternative command for translate , use set language before using the translate command .
Regards
Appana
Check this :
TRANSLATE c TO UPPER/LOWER CASE: Additional Information
Variants:
TRANSLATE c TO UPPER CASE.
TRANSLATE c TO LOWER CASE.
The way in which the TRANSLATE statement works depends on the R/3 logon language. In general, users log on to the R/3 System in the same language as that in which the data they want to edit was created. Logging on in the wrong language causes loss of data, unless a conversion has been defined to deal with a different language environment.
For example, if German umlauts are processed in a Russian environment, the TRANSLATE statement returns a '|' for an 'ö' and a '¶' for a 'Ö'. Such discrepancies occur in particular:
If the wrong language environment has been set inSET LOCALE LANGUAGE
If the user edits data that was not written in the logon language (without using SET LOCALE LANGUAGE)
If, for example, the data to be converted is stored in a structure struwith the language key languand the text field text, then you can work round the problem in one of two ways:
Example
DATA: BEGIN OF stru,
        langu TYPE sy-langu,
        text TYPE sy-xcode,
      END   OF stru.
SET LOCALE LANGUAGE stru-langu.
TRANSLATE stru-text TO UPPER CASE.
SET LOCALE LANGUAGE SPACE.
This solution ensures that every conversion is made in the appropriate language. If struis an internal table, it should be sorted beforehand, to reduce the number of times the system switches between languages. Depending on the table's range, this can substantially reduce processing time, since SET LOCALE LANGUAGE has a long processing time. The runtime is similar to the runtime for SQL statements.
Example
IF stru-langu = sy-langu.
TRANSLATE stru-text TO UPPER CASE.
ELSE.
ENDIF.
The above solution ensures that only texts created in the logon language are edited. If you want, you can bundle all other text lines in another internal table using COLLECT and then convert them using the first solution above.
Note
It is important to reset the language explicitly using SPACE, since SET LOCALE LANGUAGE also changes the system field sy-langu. Note also that a language key may not be meaningful, or a language may not be installed correctly, or you may not be able to edit data from a specific application server. In these special circumstances, the following function modules can be used:
SCP_MIXED_LANGUAGES_1_INIT
SCP_MIXED_LANGUAGES_1_SWITCH
SCP_MIXED_LANGUAGES_1_NORMAL
SCP_MIXED_LANGUAGES_1_FINISH

Trouble changing paper type for printing

I downloaded Photoshop Elements 11 to a new computer (with much more memory and speed that old computer) but now Photoshop does not work as well. When I try to change the paper type for printing, the setting is stuck at "plain paper" and there are no other options available. Any ideas on how I can fix this problem?

It sounds like a printer driver issue, not a PS issue. Can you update your printer driver on the new computer?

Set printer tray and page size

hi every body
i create two reports and i want to print these reports from different printer trays for excemple first report from (upper papaer tray) and second from (lower paper tray)i want all of this automaticaly user can not select tray at runtime print automaticaly goes to set tray by default
second problum is i create report on legal size when i run report in runtime the page setup shows letter size
how can i solve these problums
thanks in advance

Hi Faiz,
There are 2 places where you need to worry about paper size in your report:
1. When you design the report, you need to make sure that your report is designed according to the paper size that you would finally print on. For this, you first set Reports properties "width" and "height", and then design your report such that everything fits in this size. This has nothing to do with what physical paper size is chosen by the printer at runtime. This merely ensures that the report will be formatted according to the report width and height that you have set.
If at runtime, your actual paper size in the printer is different (eg, you design according to legal, but you printer contains letter), you can use the property PAGESIZE in your command line to dynamically change the paper size in your report, and Reports will try to format your report accordingly. Again, this property PAGESIZE does not switch the physical paper in the printer. It only ensures that the report is formatted according to what you specify as width and height.
2. You want to set the "physical" paper size that the report will finally print on. This is controlled by the printer. In reports, you can control which tray should be chosen, but you cannot control what physical paper size it should print on. This is controlled by the printer. Report will print on the paper size that is present in the relevant printer tray.

Set Printer Tray

Hi
I'm experiencing difficulty with a report.
My requirement is to print a four page report duplexed with the first page coming from tray 1 and the following page coming from tray 2.
When the report is printed via Adobe Acrobat Reader it will successfully duplex, but will not print from the separate trays.
When the report is sent direct to printer, setting the report property DESTYPE = PRINTER the report will print from the separate trays, but not duplex.
I've got the set_printer_tray commands on the repeating frame triggers.
Going through Adobe, I believe the report loses the printer tray commands.
Looking at the printer properties the printer's default behaviour appears to be duplex printing.
Any ideas on what could be going wrong?

Where did all the setting for printing go in PSE8-Mac?!

OK, I'm probably missing some obvious settings somewhere, please tell me after you read my rantings...
I'm using the 'Full Edit' mode, assuming that is important. But the new Print Dialog looks like it has been dumbed down for some one, not sure who, however has it has me completely confused. There are now only three 'steps' for printing. One and two are self explanatory. However...
Step three concerns paper size, image size and several other details. Just for testing, I created a new 4 x 6 inch, 300dpi page and drew some lines. Command-P. Proper printer is selected, select "Letter" as the paper size. 4 x 6 inch appears selected as the "Print size" (I thought that was because of the original page size, but it appears to simply be the default). That is a detail that could easily be over looked by a new user. If the original image is larger than 4 x 6, it will, obviously be either cropped or reduced to fit those dimensions! It seems to me that the "Select Print Size" should automatically assume to be the image size. OTOH, I can see that some people may want to do all their printing on one size of paper. In that case, why not have a preference for the default and let the user change it when they change paper sizes (if they want)?
Now, if the user happens to notice that a new 8 x 10 inch image is going to be printed in a 4 x 6 area, she will now decide to check the other settings available in the pop up menu. OK, there IS an 8 x 10 inch choice. But look, what's this "Custom" choice? Let's investigate...Now this is strange! The defaults there seem to be 1.383 inches for height AND width! Who came up with that weird number?!
Oh, there is a "Scale to Fit Media" check box. Checking that now makes the height and width somewhat closer to reality, they now indicate the pape dimensions. That IS logical, but not extremely helpful, IMHO. By the way, the second time one selects the "Custom" choice, the correct, original image size appeared in the Print size boxes. Although I cannot seem to get those to reappear. Oh well...
My point is, how do these confusing configurations help? Beyond me, anyway.
BTW, the dpi settings all seem to be 'computed' at one less than the number set by the user for an image. For example, a new image page created at 300 dpi shows 299 in the Custom dialog, 150 shows 149, etc. Close, but why not exact? Furthermore, why can't the user select any dpi they choose? Isn't that what the computer if for; calculate what happens to the pixels when they print at a different setting than the image? Sure, the user should be warned that terrible images my result, but if that's what the user wants, let it be done! Who's running this show, anyway? Oh yeah, I remember, now...excuse me for asking, I'm only a paying customer, what do I know?!
Lastly, if one has more than one image open, every single one can easily be printed, accidentally. Why? Because they will all appear in the Print Dialog. Don't you see them? Over there on the left. Yeah, I see them, but why doesn't the image I have in front, the one I'm working on, be the one I probably want to print? Many of the others may simply be images I'm borrowing parts from. Why do the developers think I always want to print every image that might be open? I don't have any idea, either. Sure, there are a couple of ways to prevent this multiple image printing; select the one you don't want to print and use the "minus" button or simply close all those images before going to the Print dialog. Guess what. Using the 'minus' button only works for this printing, the next time you ask to print they will all be there, again. And, what if you aren't really finished using some of those extra images that you closed? Now you get to re-open them all again. Completely unnecessary steps because of poor user considerations/research, in my humble opinion. Again, this is exactly the thing that preferences are made for. Or, put them in the "Edit Guided" mode! Or, better yet, just give me back the old Print dialog! Nice!
Now, I am extremely glad to see that PSE can now remember to keep that stupid Panel bin out of the way! Finally! Three more inches of screen to work with!!! Hooray!! Unfortunately, it still can't remember what the last setting for the jpeg quality was...still defaults to ZERO! Sure, that's the setting I always want to use, it's so much fun letting people try to guess what is in the image...one would think after 8 iterations this could be fixed. One down, umpteen to go. Oh well, what do you want for $80?

Thanks for your listening/reading and I'll take your advice about dropping a note to the developers, but I won't be holding by breath! I doubt that they consider this a real problem. It's really just my ranting!
Your solution is probably the 'fix' they might suggest, anyway. However, I'd rather have the screen space than a list of thumbnails of images I already have open. command-plus and/or minus is a pretty quick way of making it easy to see anything that might be visible. Of course, I'm sure there are other uses for the Project Bin that many find useful. Even though I have a 24" iMac, I rather like using the screen space the way I want, not an arbitrary way that got developed. I just don't see why developers can't program an app to allow every conceivable method of use by every living and future user! LOL!!!
I guess today was the first time I've printed anything since installing 8. I was, quite confused when presented with the new Print interface. Actually, I thought that must be part of the 'Guided' set up which I assume leads one by the hand as much as possible. "Thank you Adobe, but I'm trying to avoid unnecessary contact with strangers right now." LOL! At least I know I didn't miss some setting somewhere.
Thanks! Have a great weekend! And don't get scared too much tonight!

Default print tray keeps reverting to Tray 1, asking for glossy paper on HP P3015

We have a new HP P3015 at work, and a few days ago it started defaulting to Tray 1, and asking for Glossy paper. I have followed all onscreen instructions for changing print tray multiple times, and tried hard booting the printer a couple of times. There is no paper in Tray 1, and it is shut. For each print job, I must walk over to the printer and press OK to change print trays, and OK again to print. How can I clear these settings so that the printer will revert to printing from Trays 2 and 3 without having to walk over and change it for every job?
It also started printing much more slowly that when we first set it up a couple of months ago.

switch off the printer, take the paper out of the tray, reassemble the paper properly, then put the paper back and switch on the printer, it should work

My printer suddenly started refusing to print normal jobs on standard 8 1/2 x 11 paper. It shoots out a blank sheet with the edge slightly crimped for about 1 1/2 inches, about 1/2 inch from the bottom of the sheet. It displays the message "Paper mismatch. Paper size or type is incorrect." I have no idea what is causing this problem. It had printed perfectly up until now, but it has given the same error message for the last several different job attempts, and I'm stumped.
I look into the printer from the paper tray and above, and see no obstruction. Any ideas?
Thanks for your help!

HP Officejet pro 8500 won't print and keeps asking for a proxy setting. Help.

Hi,
Can you confirm that you have an Officejet 8500a or Officejet 8500? On the 8500a model, you can set the networks proxy address and port setting from the front panel of the printer (setup>Webservices setup>proxy). If you are unsure what your proxy settings are you'll need to contact your network admin. If your network uses a proxy users name and password for all devices, you need to enter this information along with the proxy address and port in the printers embedded web server. Type the products IP address into an internet brownser window (printer must be connected to the same network as PC). Select the network tab, and than look for the proxy settings option. Enter in the information and click apply. Once the networks proxy information has been correctly inputed into the embedded web server, try printing again. If unsuccessfully, you might try reinstalling the printer software after uninstalling it. Hope this helps!

Set custom page size for printing

I want to set a custom page size for printing some PDF three and four-page musical scores to roll paper on an Epson 1290 using Adobe Reader 9.3.4 on Ubuntu 10.04. The printer properties in the print dialog has a media size option, and one of the choices is "custom", but having chosen "custom", the dialog does not allow me to add the actual page size to the lpr printer command. I can see that when I choose "custom", the lpr command is
lpr -P Stylus-Photo-1290 -o PageSize=Custom etc
but what I need for a three page output, for example, is
lpr -P Stylus-Photo-1290 -o PageSize=Custom.297x630mm etc
and I can't see how to add the actual custom paper size. If I Ok the media size choice dialog with it just set to PageSize=Custom, I can see from the output preview in the print dialog that the actual page size that has been chosen is letter. The online Adobe doc for Reader 9 printing (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Reader/9.0/content.html#heading2.3) says "For documents that are larger than the standard page size, go to File > Page Setup. Create a custom page size before you print your document". The problem with that is that there is no "Page Setup" option on the File menu in the Unix version of Adobe Reader, only a "Print" option, which is where I already am.
If I open the PDFs in Evince, it allows me to add the custom page sizes I want, but as Evince doesn't have the option to print multiple pages per sheet I can't use it either...

Yes, it used to work, and the resize zoom bar used to work too (now its grayed out). I don't know if this is a "who's to blame for it" thing, but its not getting fixed and its pretty bad that no one seems to care enough even to respond. I found my own solution by opening it in Gimp. Just right click and select open with other ...Gimp and it will import into it. In the Gimp Print dialog, you have a scaling percentage in the "Page Setup" tab, and size settings in the "Image settings" plus loads of other stuff including multiple copies.
