Any pointers , please let me know

The chinese characters appers as ###, check boxesor some other symbols.
Tried chaging the priner settings also(ouput device and device type)
Tried changign the font family aslo.(CNKAI and CNHEI)
The functional consultant says using the existing priner settings they are able to print chinese characters through some other transactions like VF03
Waiting for positive responses.

See [note 302228 - NLS trouble shooting: printing (collective note)|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/302228]: Characters on printout printed as nothing, #, ?, ., box, other character. It contains a detailed procedure how to analyze and solve. See also note 753381 which contains a Word document (attachment) with a more detailed classification of character damage.
By the way, do you log in SAP in Chinese, do you have a Unicode system, do you use frontend printing, does your computer have Asian support installed, is the font installed on your computer?

Printing Chinese Characters in Smart Forms

Hi,
Iu2019m trying to print Chinese characters via smart forms. However during print preview or print, all Chinese characters are showing as # symbols.
I have researched and implemented for some possible solutions posted in the forum like:
a.) Setting the regional language control panel.
b.) Activating the multi-byte function in I18N.
c.) Checked the output device is SWINCF.
d.) Control parameter language is ZH (Chinese).
Unfortunately it still doesnu2019t solve the problem. Any input is highly appreciated.
With regards,
Marc

Remark following basics:
Forms:
Language of the form must be: "ZH".
Due to a SAPNOTE only font family CN* (CNSONG etc.) is mapped.
For frontend print, you must install chinese true type on you local PC and print via "CNSAPWIN" .
For backend print, you must install neccesaary fonts in your printer to the resident fonts. You must use a printer like "CNHPL4" or so.
For PDF archiving, you must upload truetype fonts to application server -> basis guys.
Cascading Fonts:
If you mix different subfonts to unicode areas, you must use CNSAPWINCF.
Until now, only frontend printing is available.
Note:
Spool created for back end print with print preview is only a simulation of getting a picture of the output created with front end technology. So it can differ, when the printer does not have the resident fonts.

Christian

Unable to print chinese characters in Smartforms use Zebra printer

Hi,all.
My printer is Zebra ZM400 300dpi,I created a new output device 'TestDevice' and use the Lzeb3 Device type.
In my smartofrms i used the Zebra command to rotated text.Now the smartforms counld not print chinese characters but '#' instead.(style font 'ANDALE_S')
Anyone could help me....
Thanks Advance.
Andy Lee.

Hello Andy,
If you use the device type LZEBU3 with font ANDALE_S, then when you print then the SAP system
send a print control for activating the ANDALE font installed on the printer, and the text should
be outputed over this font.
When you get # during print then this means that the device type or the SAP font don't support
this character(this was the original problem), when you get a "space" then this means that the
font which is used by the printer don't support this character.
I think this can have 2 causes in your case:
1. The SAP system use the print control SF000 when you use ANDALE_S, which contains
the print control ^CI17^F8 in HEX form. This should activate the ANDALE font on your printer.
(You can find this under tr. SE73 -> Printer Fonts -> LZEBU3 -> ANDALE_S)
You should check wheter this is the correct print control. You should find on the printer an option
which list you all installed fonts, and also the print control which can be used for activating it.
Compare this print control from the printer with the above print control from the SAP system.
If you see a differnce then change the print control in the SAP system.(Before you do that please
copy the device type LZEBU3 into customer namespace, don't change the original SAP device type)
2. The font installed on the printer don't support the character which you use. Contact Zebra to confirm this, and ask for a ANDALE font which supports the character.
Best regards,
Norbert

Printing Chinese Characters on Labels using ZEBRA

Dear all,
Could someone tell me how to Print Chinese characters on labels using ZEBRA Printer.
Thanks & Regards,
Joseph.

Hi Joseph,
How were u able to resolve your issue on Chinese font printing using Zebra? This is because I'm supposed to print Chinese texts & data using Zebra label printer. The problem is, inspite of using the Chinese font residing in the printer's memory card, i am not getting any output whenever i run a standard SAP report (VL74) calling a customized saprscipt report. Please help check my codes below. Also, I'm not sure of the command ^A1B, if it is still needed everytime i try to print a text, since i already used the command ^CW1,B:MSUNG.FNT.
I placed them in the Main area of Sapscript. Thanks in advance.

When we process PO through ZME9F, the PO converted to PDF is not printing the chinese characters.when 'Display message' is clicked also it is fine.The print preview of the PO is fine.
Can you please let me know what is the reason for not printing chinese characters in the conversion of PDF?
Thanks in Advance,

Acrobat 9 Pro issues with printing and now updating !!! :(

hello
I had an issues with printing from my gmail account or from windows live mail
so I made a complete re-installation
now I am stuck with version 9.3.0 and when I check for updates I get a message
UPDATER IS ALREADY RUNNING
only... it's not running and nothing is updating !
I made a restart... just in case... it did not change anything
as to the printing issue, in case some of you have met it and cleared it...(hope)
this was with version 9.5.0
I get no error message but no pdf is created, only a text document with this :
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[Page: 1]%%
72gmvi not found, using Courier.
44dcmta not found, using Courier.
%%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: xshow ]%%
Stack:
[96 96 97 72 96 42 64 0]
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
not a good start for my week... I hope yours is nicer
I'm running Win7 Ultimate x64

thanks Mylenium
the font association problem is something recent though, since I used acrobat to print mails directly from my gmail account previously...
it's galling but I installed a free pdf printer which does the job, I needed copies of these mails urgently !
as to the update issue, I see no aum.exe, msiexec.exe or setup.exe running... but that's quite above my head... do I look for those exact processes or are they generic names for processes ?
does my question make sense ????

Issues with printing purchase order

Dear friends,
I'm having some issues with printing purchase orders.
Normally when I create a purchase order via ME21N and then when I save the purchase order it then gets automatically printed.
Suddenly it is not anymore working. I have created a purchase order this morning and it did not get printed. I get the message "frontend is not available"when i check the spool in SP01
The funny think is if i call up the spool nr via SP01and then do a reprint then i'm able to reprint.
What can be possibly the issue that I can't print the purchase order when I create the purchase order via ME21 when I save the purchase order? Can you help me with any guide on where I need to check why the PO is not printing immediatelly when i create the PO via ME21N?
kind regards,
Camilla

hello all,
thanks so far for your reply.
i have checked today my user settings and that shows that my prints should go to LOCL (local default printer)
The output conditions fpr purchase order have also LOCL (local printer)
The weird thing is that I can print other reports to the default printer without any issues. The issue arise when I create a purchase order via ME21N. Normally when I save the PO it automatically prints. So no manual print instructions are required from my side. Because if I give manual instructions then I'm able to print the purchase order.
Is it possible that the automatic printing is switched off and that it only prints when I hit manually the print button?
Is the automatic printing something that is maintained in SPAD?
kind regards and thanks for your help sofar

Issue with printing production order after changes through CO02

Hi,
Currently I have one issue with printing production order changes through CO02. If I go for print, all the operations are captured in printout. But after the print, if I add any new operations to this production order, and then go for print, its not capturing the newly added operations. Also, there is information popup coming "Copies will be printed for order. Original list already printed". This message effectively means, even after changes, when I go for print functionality, its just going for printing copies of original printed list.
Can anyone help me out to get the newly added operations reflected in the print through CO02 ?
Regards,
Shiva

Issue with printing to a network photocopier

We are a small school where the teachers all have Macbook Pro laptops. For a while we have been having intermittent issues with printing to the Photocopier, today is an example.
Teacher tried to print, worked fine, then tried again 15 min later, received message Printer is in use (I was standing next to it and it wasn't in use!) tried again 10 min later, printed fine.
Teacher tried to print, spooled for about 5 min then printed, tried again, printed fine.
From the CUPS error log there are the following:
- The Printer is in use
- ICC Profile "/Library/Printers/Sharp/Profiles/SS0HIN0.icc" does not exist.
- Remote host did not accept data file(32)
- The printer did not respond
- Stopping unresponsive job
- The printer is not responding
They are all on wireless. There is no network issue as I can ping the photocopier, get onto the Internet etc.
They don't print via a server, they all have the photocopier installed on their macbooks as an IP printer using LDP.
Thanks

You'll need to manually create the folder and install the profiles. From the finder select Go, Go to Folder. Enter "/Library/Printers/Sharp/Profiles" without the quotation marks, Go. You might have to manually create the Profile folder. You can download this disk image from Sharp that contains the icc files here; http://www.sharpusa.com/ForBusiness/DocumentSystems/MFPsPrinters/MX4110N.aspx?vi ew=drivers
Drag and drop the icc files from /MX-C26/Profiles to /Library/Printers/Sharp/Profiles
Also make sure you install the drivers from MX-C26 for the appropriate version of OS X you are running.
Hope this is clear.

Issue with printing of Currency Value.

Hi,
I have an issue with printing of Currency Value.
( Pleae let me know if any thread available already I searched it before posting but not found).
The Problem is as follows:
I have a field s_value TYPE MARM-SALK3. (which is of currency type).
The value of field is actually 1664.1450. Currency USD
But when I print this variable in ALV report it prints as 166414.50 though I used the same data type. (SALK3).
Pleaes help me to fix this.
Regards,
Venkat

Hi,
If you use ALV to display currency value, you must sure that currency amount links with currency unit. You can archive this by using ALV fieldcat:
wa_fieldcat-fieldname = 'SALK3'.
wa_fieldcat-tabname = 'ITAB'.
wa_fieldcat-cfieldname = 'WAERS'.
wa_fieldcat-ctabname = 'ITAB'.
append wa_fieldcat to gt_fieldcat.
Please check,
Regards,

Many English web pages filled with meaningless Chinese characters - why?

I've been using web browsers for almost 20 years and this is one of the strangest problems I've encountered. When some Firefox pages are launched that are supposed to be straight forward English language pages, they are displayed as an entire page densely filled, top to bottom, full width, with tiny Chinese characters. I have tried to troubleshoot this by: disabling all add-ons, especially translators; clean uninstall/reinstall of the current version of Firefox; rolling back to previous versions of Firefox - 1st FF7, right now FF6.01; clean uninstall/reinstall of my graphics card driver; rolling back to previous versions of my graphics card driver; system restore back to before this problem started; run deep scans, multiple times, of each of the six anti-malware apps I have on my computer, including root kit scans. None of them have solved the problem.
Strangest part of it is that it seems to occur randomly. For example, in my latest Firefox session, I re-enabled a number of add-ons after disabling them as part of my ongoing troubleshooting. When I clicked on Options for all the others except the Groowe toolbar, I got normal English pages. But for Groowe toolbar options I received a full page of Chinese characters like those shown below.This happens pretty much every time Firefox session but not for all pages; only 1-3 of them per session. The rest are normal.
I have yet to detect a pattern of when it will happen. A given web page may display normally or it may display as all Chinese characters like this sample of the page just displayed for Groowe Options. The last time I set Groowe Options (= the last time I reinstalled Firefox - yesterday) it displayed normally.
This paste of the first few lines of the Groowe Options page is a bigger font than the one displayed on the web page it was copied from. I don't know how to make it paste the same size font, but I think you'll get the picture from this. Now just imagine tiny versions of these lines completely covering the page display -- and I do mean completely - no spaces, no blank lines, just non-stop characters like this but much smaller font.
