  • Line Alignment Problem while sending Fax from SAP Script

    Moderator message: please do not post the same question in different forums
    Hi Experts,
    While sending fax the horizontal lines are not displaying till the end of the page.
    But in the print preview the lines are displying till the end.
    If this is printed using local printer the lines are printing fine but the problem is with the fax.
    Please provide me a solution for this.
    Regards,
    Rajesh.
    Edited by: Matt on Nov 25, 2008 2:51 PM

    Puzzling.
    I've seen where the printed output doesn't match the print preview but not a fax not matching a print.
    Do you use SAPConnect or the older SAPComm method for faxing?
    How do you produce the horizontal lines? BOX commands, ULINE, '-', etc.?

    When i checked in debugg mode the INT_FAX internal table have all 132 characters.
    The problem is while checking in SOST trnasaction it is showing 108 characters in one line and remaining in second line,can you please help on this.
    Thanks In advance

    may it be that in those cases where it doesnt work, that you got no fax number?
    Since it works soemtimes, it seems there are no errors, but rather in some cases some important info is missing, fax number may be one of thsoe important info in a FAX scenario.

  • Problem while sending fax through a SAP Smart Form

    Hi,
    I am trying to send fax through a smartform but it is not working, please see the details below.
    I am calling the Function Module "SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME" in a PAI event.  After storing the FM name "/1BCDWB/SF00000029"in a local variable "ls_frm_name", I am using that for printing the Form and at the same time to fax out the same by passing the following export parameters.
    control_parameters type ssfctrlop with values
      la_ssfctrlop_struc-device      = 'TELEFAX'.
      la_ssfctrlop_struc-no_dialog   = 'X'.
      la_ssfctrlop_struc-langu       = ls_supplier_info-spras.
    output_options type ssfcompop with values

      ls_ssffaxop_struc-tdnoprint    = 'X'.
    along with "fax_details  = ls_zap1_fax_details" declared as interface parameters to the Smart Form.
    But the Function Module is throwing following exception and not sending any Fax.
    SY-MSGID-->OL
    SY-MSGNO-->356
    SY-MSGV1-->NOAUTHORITYCHECK
    Do I need to pass any other values to the FM, I felt that this is not an authorization problem after debugging.
    Can any one please help me in handling this exception and send the fax,
    Thanks,
    Srinivas.

  • How to insert pauses in dialing chains while sending faxes.

    I need to dial several numbers to get long distance faxes out of my phone system but there seems to no way to enter a 3 second or so pause to the dialing chain I enter in the fax number "to" field.
    Also why are letters always showing up when I type numbers in the "to" box. This is really annoying. I have to enter the whole string then go back and change the letters to numbers.
    Thank you

    I'm not sure if this will help in this case, but you could try using a comma in the string.
    from: http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdenetwork/kppp/appendix-hayes-commands.html
    , (a comma)
    makes your software pause for a second. You can use more than one , in a row. For example, ,,,, tells the software to pause four seconds. (The duration of the pause is governed by the setting of register S8.
    Hope this helps

  • Error while sending sales order form by fax

    hi,
    Sending Sales order by fax is not working. While adding output type for Sales order choosing device as 'FAX' is throwing an error saying that 'Error while sending fax with SO_OBJECT_SEND, return code 9'.  Anything needs to be configured or we have to code anything in SAPScript program. Please advise.

    Hi Harry,
    You don't need to write any particular code for sending FAX in SAPscript. But you may need to check some configurations regarding it.
    We configure SCOT to send Fax and mails to outside SAP. Check SAP Note 455140 for the configuration of SCOT tcode.
    Please refer this link [Sending FAX |Sending FAX from SAP;
    It might be helpful.
    Thanks,

    -Is the 500 internal SErver Error in RWB is only for this issue and the message is successfully processed in SXMB_MONI?

  • Error 388 while sending or receiving fax, HP Officejet 6260

    My unit is always giving this error while sending or receiving a fax. I have tried searching and found out its a line noise problem but when I connected a telephone set to that line it was all clear. No noise during calls. 

    Hi sixline,
    HP has a page on faxing with VoIP services - it has instructions on how to reduce the transmissions speed
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c00302247
    Three other things to check:
    1) Is the phone line plugged into "line 1" or the "ext" port on the OfficeJet? I've mixed the two up before. It should be plugged into "line 1"
    2) Do you have internet service through DSL or Cable internet? If it's through DSL, you may need a filter on the line. If you get your phone through a Cable provider, then what looks like a regular phone line may actually be a VoIP phone. See page 56 on this document http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00238458.pdf for information on the DSL filter.
    3) Are you using the fax on some sort of corporate PBX system? If so, see page 57 on the document from #2.

  • I have been unable to print since switching to Firefox. I keep getting a "send Fax" page???Don

    When I try to print anything, including Firefox data, I get a page with the following info:
    Send Fax- HP Officejet pro 8500 A910
    Send fax to:
    Fax Number:_____________
    Name: _________________
    Company:_______________ , Etc.
    This is my correct default printer and it worked fine with Internet Explorer. I do NOT want to make any changes to my computer that would disable having the option to print off of Internet Explorer, but it would be nice if I could also print off of Firefox,
    Don

    You probably need to select your printer in the Printer - Name dialog box.
