How SAP device type SWIN sends a page format?

Hi all,
I changed page format (from DINA4 to INCH12) for my SmartForm and try it print with SWIN (I2SWIN) device type.
It has printed with cca 11 xx paging (not full 12") so next pages move upper and upper.
So I have printed it to Text printer in Windows and look at Print controls. And I can find nothing about page formating.
Can you help me please? I would lke to send right page formating.
Note 21738 - Device type SAPWIN says that print control "Esc p xx;" - xx=40 is INCH12.

Yes, it was first thing I tried.
In "initialization" phase I used "\e%SAPWIN%" and "\ep40;" (German Std Fanfold with 8 1/2" width, 12" length). (In some notes was written SWIN doesnt support ""initialization" phase, so I tried, in second step, use it in "first page" too.)
Form output looks like here:
" %SAPWIN% p40; %SAPWIN% OCb Op1 Os1 PP "
It doesnt work. Printed pages (length) have been same as about A4 length yet .
As you can see, printer driver "SWIN SAPlpd/SAPWIN driver 3.0 " add control " %SAPWIN%" after my "add-on's". Is it good, or are my settings deleted by using of it?
Whar are you thinking about:
" Esc q m; Set page length in m*1/10 millimeters (SAPLPD 4.25 or higher)"
+"Esc O M p|l p = Use physical paper edge
l = Use logical paper edge (printable area) [default
(commands only effective with enable_phys_margins=1 [default)"+

Device type does not support page format

Hi All,
There is one issue when I print a sapscript. I get an error message as follows:
Device type EPESCP9 does not support page format ZSG02
Could someone advise?
Thanks
Alice

Hi,
The page format ZSG02 is not present in Device type EPESCP9.
in SPAD t.code add the page format in that device type.
Better inform to BASIS people they will add page format in that device type.
Refer the link Device type does not support page format

Error: Device type SWIN does not support page..

Hi All,
I'm working on smartforms which print sticker of size 5 cm width and 2.5 cm hight. I made page of same above mention size. but when i'm trying print this, it will show following error:
Device type SWIN does not support page for ZSTICKER(my page name).
Please do needful help ASAP.
-Dharmesh

Hi,
You need to link your new page to a device type. Use transaction SPAD. Go into the device type and click on the 'Format' button, this will list the supported formats, switch to change mode and add your new page format (ZSTICKER).

Sap Device Type for Canon IR3035N

Hi there,
I am printing remittance advice notes on a canon ir3035n printer. The output looks fine in the spool file but when you print the output some of the text is printing with a large amount of spacing between the words. The sap device type that is being used is SAPGOF. I am guessing that this maybe the cause of this and was wondering has anyone else used the Canon IR3035n and experienced similar problems? I was going to attempt to use a different device type but am unsure of which device type to use.
Is there a specific device type available for use with this printer? Failing that, does anybody know of a generic Canon device type which I can select from the list of devices types available from transaction SPAD?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi
Pls refer to OSS note
Note 1069132 - CANON: List of supported printers/device types
It may give some idea.
I hope IR3035N - IR stands for Image Runner.
In the Note search for 3035, you may get some idea
Pls take opinion from SAP / Basis before implementing the note

How to copy abap source into web page format?

SAP Experts,
                   Good Morning.

How can I set up a half-page format?

Looking at a document a page at a time, built into Acrobat 9 Pro, is too small for my tired eyes. Going the full width of the screen, also built in, is too large. So I generally do trial-and-error to get a half-page on a screen.
Is there some way to make that format easier to achieve?

Good idea, and thank you. But different files require different
magnifications to get to the same end-result. There are two icons
just to the right of the magnification percent, Fit-width and Fit-
page. These icons need to use intelligence beyond just using fixed
magnifications. When I have tried to approximate Fit-half-page, I got
my best results from using Fit-page, then doubling (almost) the
magnification resulting from the Fit-page. It is that intelligence I
think one would need to tap into to implement a Fit-half-page display.
Right?

Regarding device type setup

I'm using f-58 for CHECK printing. I'm using canon lbp2900b printer to print with page format LINE_22. when i try to take printout its showing error "DEVICE TYPE SAPWIN DOESNOT SUPPORT FOR THE PAGE FORMAT". can anyone have solution.

Hi Divya,
Its as simple, Go to SPAD->Full Administration->Device Types.
It will help you with page formats and output devices associated.

Hiii friends! how attached output type to a transaction

Hi gurus!
how to attached output type to a transaction.
for eg - i have created a outout type zexpt and i have to assigned to transaction VF01.
Regards,
Rahul

Hi
goto VF02 tcode
fro Menu
GOTO HEADER -> Output
define there
Output is a link between the Driver Program and the Sapscript,
An output type summarizes messages of the same meaning. It contains parameters that are valid for all its assigned messages, for example appropriate partner functions.
Transmission medium is a medium which the layout will be come out, this may be printout, Fax or Mail
Check this link.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/c8/19884743b111d1896f0000e8322d00/content.htm
ex-how to config output type.
You will assign output types using Transaction NACE.
Do the follow steps to assign output type
1)Select Application Type V2 which will have description Shipping.
2)Click on Output types button.
3)Go to change mode by pressing Ctrl+F4.
4)Select one output type which already exists
5)Do Copy As(F6)
6)Give your output type against Output Type field.
7)Under General data Tab, Give Program and Form routine and Save the data.
i think it a work of functional guy but at senior level i think it is not a big deal for abaper.
Check the following documentation
In NACE t-codewe have the application for each one. based on the application output type can be defined, based on output type script and print progrma can be defined.
If suppose data can be read from EDI then we should go for condition records.
So whenever we execute the script first composer checks the output type and then execute the program. in program whenever opn form FM will be populate then script will open first. After that again program till another FM will populate if it then script will populate........like it is cycle proces. Composer does all these things and at last it will submit that output to spool.
Go to the Transaction NACE.
choose the related sub module.. like billing or shipping
doubel click on Output Types
Choose the Output Type for which whcih you wanted your script to trigger
Then select the Output Type and double click on Processing Routine
Then go to create new entries--> Select the Medium (1- print output), then enter your Script and Print Program detls --> Save and come out
Now go to the Transaction (for which you have created the output type)... Issue output--> Select the output type --> Print....
Device Types for SAP Output Devices (Detail Information)
Definition
The device type indicates the type of printer to be addressed. When you define an output device, choose the name of the device type that was defined in the SAP System for your printer model, such as Post2 for a PostScript printer. In the case of frontend printing under Microsoft Windows, you can also use the generic (device-independent) device type SWIN.
The system uses the information in the device type to convert a document from the internal SAP character representation (spool request in OTF or in text format) to a device-specific, print-ready data stream (output request). Since a device type specifies attributes that apply to all devices of a certain model, it can be shared among device definitions. For example, all devices in the SAP spool system that are compatible with Hewlett-Packard LaserJet IIID printers would use the HPLJIIID device type.
You should not confuse the device type with the printer driver. The device type is the total of all attributes of an output device that the SAP System must know to control the output device correctly, such as control commands for font selection, page size, character set selection, and so on. These attributes also include the printer driver that SAPscript/Smart Forms (the SAP form processor) should use for this printer. The SAPscript printer driver that is to be used for devices of this type for output formatting is therefore only an attribute that the device type specifies.
How do I choose the correct device type?
In most cases, the SAP System already provides the appropriate device type for the printer type for the printer model that you want to use.
These standard device types are completely defined and need no modification or extension before you use them in device definitions.
You can also download missing device types from the sapserv server. For a current list of the supported device types, see SAP Note 8928 in the SAP Service Marketplace.
Most printers can be controlled using a generic format, such as PostScript. They can be switched to a mode that is compatible with one of the standard printers for which an SAP device type is available. In this case, a supported model is emulated.
Almost all printers are delivered with Microsoft Windows printer drivers. The system can control these printers with the generic (device-independent) device type SWIN. The Microsoft Windows spool system then performs the processing of the print data.
If the specified device types are not available, and generic device types cannot be used, you must create your own device type or edit a copy of an existing device type. We recommend that only those with specialist knowledge of the SAP Spool System and printer driver code do this. For more information, see Defining a New Device Type .
Attributes of a Device Type
A device type is distinguished by the attributes listed below. If you change an existing device type or create a new device type, you must change at least some of these attributes.
Character set: A character set specifies the codes with which characters must be represented in the print-ready output stream (output request). This code replaces the generic SAP characters set that is used internally by the SAP spool system (spool request).
Printer driver: You can specify different printer drivers for printing SAPscript documents and ABAP lists.
Print controls: Print controls represent printer operations, such as boldface or changing the font size. These print control are replaced by printer-specific commands during the creation of the output request from a spool request.
Formats: Formats specify the format supported by the SAP system. The system differentiates between SAPScript formats (DINA4 and LETTER) and ABAP list formats (X_65_132 = 65 rows/132 columns).
Page format: A page format is the interface between a format and SAPscript. It specifies the paper dimensions with which SAPScript can calculate the row and column lengths.
Actions: Actions are output device-specific commands that are required for the implementation of a format. The action printer initialization, for example, can contain a printer command with which the number of rows on a page is defined. There is a set of actions for every format supported by a device type.

Convert_otf - Identify device type

Hi Experts
I am more of a functional consultant, so please excuse if this is simple thing to find out.
We are calling functional module CONVERT_OTF through a custom program to convert outputs of billing documents into a PDF file.However the PDF file generated has alignment and formatting issues. So we checked further and our ABAP consultant mentioned that the device type 'SCREEN' is used while converting the output into PDF format. This device type does not have any formats attached we we can see through transaction SPAD. So they feel this is the reason for incorrect format / misalignment of PDF output.
So we want to change the device type 'SCREEN' to 'WINSAP' which has all the required formats attached to it.
However our abaper does not not know when the program calls for device type and where to change it. He feels that output device type is called by standard FM CONVERT_OTF and we need to check with SAP on the same.
Therefore we need to know how we can change device type for this requirement.If someone has worked similar query, please help us to resolve this. Any pointers would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Santosh

Hi Santosh,
If your requirement is to save the preview as PDF of the billing documents, you just need to type PDF! in the command field of the print preview screen and do a f8 then a pop will come up and then you can save or print the preview.
Note : you have to type PDF in Capitals and along with ! (exclamation mark symbol) i.e. PDF! .
Hope this helps.

Print Adobe PDF problem: Device type related?

Hi,
we have developed a number of adobe print forms and we face a problem. The problem is that not all types of printers can directly print (without first preview the pdf) the form.
We are using an output device with device type post2 (pdf1 works for some printers too) and access method F (Printing on Frontend computer) , but some printers work perfectly and others instead of the form, print out some postscript (or print) commands.
We can as well change our printers and get some postscipt printers but the problem is that we want to give access and print the forms some of our partners who logon to our system via VPN and we cannot "force" them to buy new printers.
Do you have any suggestion for this problem?
Thanx in advance
Kostas

the ABAP Backend is sending a ADS-document in an XML format to the ADS Server (JAVA), the ADS returns a "Parts" for the forms. A "parts" consist of an PDF file and a print file (PostScript, PCL or ZPL), which are placed in the Global Directory. All the conversion should take place within the ADS Server.
This "Parts" are then send as a PDF to the SAP Spooler.
For the printing of this PDF document in the SAP Spool System one of the Device types (POST2, HPLJ4, HP9500, PDF1, AZPL203, AZPL300) is taken into account which send the actual PDF to a physical printer.
What you see in SP01 are the "parts" of an ADS-document.
Report RSPO0020 (for troubleshooting ADS printing issues) is displaying the "Parts", send back from ADS to the backend System
The XDC file is the printer description in XML format, which the Adobe Document Services requires in order to create the "Parts" file. PDF documents can only be printed on printers of SAP device types for which there is an XDC file on the Adobe Document Server. Report RSPO0022 can be used to manage the mapping between the printer device type and the XDC file
