Junk characters printed

I am trying to print a tamil font through sapscript. I am able to see the same output if I print from word but from SAP i am getting junk characters. What could be the reason?? I have done all the relevant settings also/
Thanks

Have you got the same text in SAP as a tiff file and are you using the include text format to print the same?
Is it something like logo printing -
Try these steps which we normally use to print logo in SAP.
SAP SCRIPT LOGO PRINTING
To Create a logo in SAP printouts , just do the following
1. Save a Logo using Paintshop Pro or Corel Draw as Tiff file.
2. Run this program RSTXLDMC and enter the following parameters
   Enter file name                     C:\MAIL\COMPLOGO.TIF
   UOM                          CM
    Line width for text                132
    Text name                     ZHEX-MACRO-COMPLOGO
    Text ID                          ST
    Text language = E
    Number of Tiff gray levels (2,4,9) 2
3. Then Create a new window 'COMP' with attributes;
     Window COMP description Company Logo
     Left margin 7.00 CH window width 10.00 CH
    Upper margin LN window height 8.00 LN
Finally in the text element , mention
        /: INCLUDE 'ZHEX-MACRO-COMPLOGO' OBJECT TEXT ID ST LANGUAGE 'E'.
Please note that if object name is not indicated as 'ZHEX...', the logo may not be printed!
You will not be able to see the logo in a test print. The same will be printed in actual printout.

Junk characters in the purchase order fax received from the fax machine

Dear Experts,
I am facing the following issue.
I am sending the PO form to a fax number from ME22N using the FAX medium. The PO form is designed by sapscript.
I am getting the fax too from the fax machine. But it is not in the format designed by sapscript. I get junk characters printed line by line. For 1 page of PO form, I get around 7 pages printed with the junk characters.
I checked the trace in SOST, it is taking the device type converts OTF to PDF.
I checked the settings in the SCOT transaction. The device type is set as PDF1. I changed various device types but still the same.
The printer I am using is Fuji Xerox - DocuCentre-III C4405
Any idea how to get the form in the right format.

Junk characters in output print. Is it related to User profile?

Hi friends,
My user generated Invoices using MRRL and generated output using MR90.
Spool created for these invoices. But in the print, we are getting some lines with junk characters. It looks like chinese characters.
1. If I see the Spool print preview, still I see the junk characters. That means there is no problem with printer. And it should be a problem either with Output triggering or MR_PRINT form.
Important this is that, user facing this problem from yesterday only. Earlier to that everything was fine.
Are there any chances of this problem due to User profile?
In MIR4 transaction, in the Header output messages. I find in the Menu Edit -> Repeat output. But this is disabled for me. How to enable this?
Thanks in advance.

AK

Lesson learned: Always go and check SPAD (devices) if you face any printer issues. My issue was because the Basis has changed some settings in SPAD for LOCL device

Junk Characters are coming in the Print Preview of True Type Font

Hi
I am facing one issue. Here I have installed on one of the True type font of Gujarati (one of Regional language for India) language.When I see Print preview using LP01 Output device (which has SWIN Device Type) these true type font coming as Junk characters. But when I take print it is coming perfectly Ok. I want to know is there any setting required to maintain for Output device to see Print Preview in Gujarati also ?
I feel that when System is generating output for Preview it is ignoring true type font..
If there is any solution kindly let me know
Regards

Hi,
Try creating the spool using the unicode device type SWINCF(see note #812821) and check the result.

Print preview coming in junk characters

Hello All,
Can some tell me when I execute me23n and I want to print the PO details, when I go for print preview, i get a print preview in junk characters, none of the characters is readable, whereas when other person tries to see the same he gets correct display of characters.
Could any one of you let me know Am I missing some setting.
Thanks,
Mark

Hello -
The print preview is done by the GUI, which is a Windows application. That the GUI can display a special font, there are two requirements:
- You must install a True Type Font in Windows, which contains a MICR
font (that the GUI can use the font to display the characters).
- You must tell the SAP the name of the Windows font. This
can be done via transaction SE73 -> Font Families, button
'RTF font info'. Note #130658 describes, what you have to enter here.

Junk Characters on first two pages of Cheque Printing SAP Script.

Hi All
I implementing cheque printing for one of our client's Oman based subsidiary. I have copied the standard SAP Script F110_PRENUM_CHCK into a Z-Form and maintained its original language as EN. I have commented out all the unnecessary peices of information in all the windows and customised as per my requirement.
Now the problem that i am facing is that when i execute this script through the standard driver program RFFOUS_C, i am getting junk characters on first two pages of the script. The info displayed comes in the HEADER and MAIN Windows. The desired output is coming in the 3rd, 4th and 5th pages.
Please let me know how should i get rid of these junk characters.
Regards
Harsh
PS: All info printed is in English only.

Hi
Thanks for your response.
Yes, the remittance advice header info is getting printed in the HEADER Window and its contents in the tabular structure are in the MAIN Window.
I am passing EN as the language.
Adding to this, the report RFFOUS_C gets executed and i am checking the spool that is created which has the junk characters on the first two pages.
Regards
Harsh

WriteUTF() append junk characters to Bluetooth printer

Hi guys,
I am having problem sending printing to a portable bluetooth printer.
It always print out additional junk characters in front of the content.
Example:
KHello World
**It should be display "Hello World" only. A random characters will be display in front of the content, for
this case is the letter "K". I google and search many forums but found nothing that can help me solve this
problem. I know WriteUTF() will add 2 bytes in front to my string. FYI. I previously use WriteChars() to print
english words but now need to use WriteUTF to print the Chinese words. Is there anyway to fix this? Any help
will be appreciated.
My Coding:
============
String url = "btspp://00099BC9BC98:1;authenticate=false;encrypt=false;master=false";
StreamConnection con = (StreamConnection) Connector.open( url );
DataOutputStream out = con.openDataOutputStream();
retStr = "Hello World"; //This is a message with english and chinese characters
out.writeUTF(retStr);
out.write(0x0A); //print & line feed
Thread.sleep(500);
out.flush();
out.close();
con.close();

Report displaying junk characters or Greek or some other language

Hi All,
I have one Custom report in PDF. It is a simple tabular report. When I run this report from Report Builder, it runs fine but when I register it in Oracle Apps and run it from there, it displays all the characters in Greek or some other language or junk characters. Sometimes it works if I change font. But its a trial and error. I dont understand why is it happening. This has happened with one of my other reports too. It worked when I changed the font and its size. This time it didnt work. Any clue how can I fix this issue?
Any lead will be appreciated.
Thanks,
CAH

Hi Hussein,
We have similiar issue with our custom PDF reports. We are in the process of upgrading from 11.5.9 to R12.
All these reports work fine in 11.5.9.
Following are the details of our R12 environment:
1) What is the application release? Application release is 12.1.1
2) What is application/database characterset? Database - 11.1.0.7.0 and characterset is UTF8.
3) Is this a text or bitmap report? What is the report language? - It is a text report and Language is English
4) Do you use PASTA for printing? - Yes we do
5) Do you get the correct printout if you print the concurrent request output file from the OS? - If I run the report from report builder directly, Yes. If from Oracle Apps, no.
6) Expected output: "Days in Queue"
Actual Output: when I copy and paste the output here it is showing correct. But on the report it is showing
something like ∆Ωµ.....
7) If I try changing the font, it works
8) A different text field on the same report with the same font shows good.
I would appreciate your help on this one.
Thanks
Vishnu

Hello
Regarding SAPLPD it will only be supported for frontend printing in Releases < 4.6C. For all other Releases, please note the
following:
For frontend printing, customers should use access method 'G' instead of access method 'F'. See note 821519 for
more details.
For server-based printing via access method 'S' or 'U', customers should use SAPSprint instead of SAPLPD. Note
894444 has all the details. This is valid for ALL Releases.
For non-latin characters and Unicode use the details as per note 812821.
Best regards.

Junk Characters in the Output of Reports2.5

I have created Report in Reports2.5 which is giving good output display
But when I Register the Report in Oracle Apps & see output
it shows Junk Characters in the place of Labels
e.g. Revenue Report
will come like sg0Revenue o7Report
Can any-one give me the solution for this
Regards / Shailesh ( [email protected] )

This is probably due to the prt file that's being used to format the output. I'm willing to bet that the headings are in bold, and the prt file being used has includes some control characters to tell the printer to switch on and off bold - when you view the output file those are the characters you're seeing.
To switch this off simply remove the control characters from the prt file being used.
Hope this helps,
Danny
