Labels printing : "unable to read format"

Hello
I have configured a Printronix Label printer as a network printer (Acess Method U).
Communication test is successfull
But when I execute a printout I have the following message:
=========================
Print request processing log
Errors occurred processing this print request
Unable to read format ZDINA6. l_rc = 1
There may be no printout
=========================
Despite format ZDINA6 is properly associated to the Device Type (ZPTXASC4) of the printer.
Inizialization commands are all empty, as suggested by Printronix Manual
What am I missing?
Thank you!

Thanks David and Lokeswara for your answers.
Oss did not help actually: I also tried with Postscript type, instead of STDN II, but did not succeed.
As to ZDINA6 format: it is in use in their old system, same labels, same configuration; a part from the access method, because they currently have a Win NT print server in between that the new system does not contemplate.
Still a mistery, at least to me..
Thank you for now

  • Lexmark printer - "unable to read CUPS raster data" message

    I have been using my Lexmark z2320 printer for about a year with my macbook pro, with no issues. However, since yesterday I have been getting the "unable to read CUPS raster data" error message, and can not print.
    I am using 10.6.2 osx.
    I have tried re-installing the drivers, and downloading new drivers from the website, but all to no avail.
    I noticed some similar posts, but could not find a clear resolution.
    THank you.

    hi. Thanks for the response and apologies for the delay - I am new to this, and was expecting an email alert when somebody had responded.
    I downloaded the update, and I now get the message:
    +Color table is missing. You must uninstall and reinstall the printer software.
    How should I proceed?

  • Unable to Generate Printed Documentation in PDF Format

    This past week I started having a consistent error when attempting to generate a Printed Documentation layout. This error reads "Internal error encountered,  Failed to generate Printed Documentation."  Prior Printed Documentation builds on this same project completed fine. Nothing was done to the Help project between the times when this worked and when it no longer was able to create Printed Documentation.
    I receive this error even if I generate an entirely new "blank project" build, and then attempt to create a Printed Documentation build from this new blank project.  Researching this error, I see this has been a reoccuring problem with this product for some time. The few threads that list the problem as having been "fixed" provide resolution steps that have not worked in my case. Right now I am waiting for our IT Helpdesk people to re-install the Suite. Hopefully this will resolve this problem.
    Additional information on this problem - PDF Printed Documentation is failing - the HTML build works fine. If I select just a .DOC Printed Documentation output, this also works correctly. The resulting Word document looks good, although hyperlinks do not work within this Word document. I have reloaded Office 2003 as a troubleshooting effort, but this has nbot resulted in any change in symptoms.
    The entire error text is enclosed below, although several other people have also done this in past entries. The few lines that read "Warning, and then report a style issue is NOT the problem here. As stated earlier, when I do this same Printed Documentation build on an entirely new "blank project" it does not work, and the Output text in that case does not contain any such "Warnings" about Styles.

    I am pretty sure nobody will have any fix suggestions that work to solve this problem, but I am making this entry for historical purposes. I will add an entry stating whether the Suite reload resolves this issue.
    Thanks,

    If I select ONLY the Word DOC Output format in the Printed Documentation
    setup, the output is created without an error (output text below).  Links do work within
    this Word document (a symptom change since installing patch 8.0.2).
    When I use this Word document to create a PDF (using the Adobe PDF
    printer driver) a PDF is successfully created, however no bookmarks are
    created in the bookmarks panel and none of the links in this PDF work
    (although they are created looking like they will work, i.e., blue
    underlined text).
    Regards,
    Tim

  • Error:SOAP: response message contains an error XIAdapter/PARSING/ADAPTER.SOAP_EXCEPTION - soap fault: Server was unable to read request. --- There is an error in XML document (1, 447). --- Input string was not in a correct format.

    Hi All,
        We have a scenario of FTP-->PI---> Webservice.  While triggering the data in the FTP, it is failing in the PI with the below error
    SOAP: response message contains an error XIAdapter/PARSING/ADAPTER.SOAP_EXCEPTION - soap fault: Server was unable to read request. ---> There is an error in XML document (1, 447). ---> Input string was not in a correct format.
    Can you please help?

    Hi Raja- It seems to be a data quality issue.
    Check for the value @ 1447 position in the xml message that you are trying to send to web service..
    may be a date filed/decimal value which is not in expected format.

  • How does one print to a Large Format Network Printer in Adobe Reader X?

    I have just installed Adobe Reader X on a machine that previously had Adobe Reader 9 (I had to format the hard drive so this is a fresh installation).  When attempting to print to a large format Printer (36x24) across the network I cannot change the paper size.  Despite attempting to change the paper size to a number of different configurations Adobe X will not print anything but 8.5"x11.0" (which is the default paper size on the local printer).  I have tried making the network printer the default printer and that does not make any difference.  Everything worked fine with Adobe Reader 9 but not X.  Can anyone offer any suggestions?
    Also, I can print to both the local printer and the large format network printer fine through other applications.
    Thanks.
    Ben

    Just finished testing 10.10 printing via a Windows 2008 R2 print share. I also found that when trying to add the printer using CUPS I would get an authentication error. But if I added the printer using the Windows section of the Add printer pane, then I was able to print fine.
    So with you mentioning that using the Windows section of the Add printer window has never worked (which is interesting because it's always worked for me) I want to suggest another approach to adding the printer, still using the Add printer window. With this window open you can right-click on the toolbar and select Customize Toolbar. You can then drag the Advanced icon to the toolbar. Then when you select this, you can set the Type menu to "Windows via spoolss" and then enter the URL as smb://servername/sharename. Select the supporting driver and click Add to complete.
    Then when you select to print for the first time using this printer you will be prompted to authenticate. Enter the account details, set the save to Keychain option and OK to send the print job.
    This worked fine for me and creates the same queue as using the Windows add printer setting. Curious to hear if this gets your co-worker printing again.

  • Users are unable to print from Adobe Reader X

    Hi,
    Multiple users in our environment report that they are unable to print from Adobe Reader X. They receive the following error messages (translated from Dutch) Document cannot be printed. There are no pages selected.
    We are using Reader version 10.1.3
    What we have tried to resolve the issue (without any positive results):
    - Repair the installation of Adobe Reader.
    - Update Adobe Reader to the latest version for Vista (x86) (10.1.7)
    - Created new user profile for the affected users.
    The documents can be printed without any errors from Foxit Reader.
    At the moment we use the following workaround:
    Open the document in Internet Explorer, and then print the document from there.
    Does anyone have any idea how we can resolve this?
    Best regards,
    Duncan

    James,
    I'm sorry to hear that you were having the same problem under 9.5.  I had recently updated to Adobe Reader 10 under Windows 7 and yesterday my "default printer" simply disappeared from the options on my control panel.  I re-installed my printer, but today whenever I would open a PDF document and try to print it, the document would simply close with no further ado.  After a bit of trial and error, I ended up uninstalling Adobe Reader 10 and going back to Adobe Reader 9.5.  Now everything is working just fine.

  • Unable to print number of copies on label printer

    Hi Everyone,
    I am able to print smartform any number of copies on standard printer.
    But when I change from standard printer name to Label printer name and execute the smartform with number of copies ( greater than 1 ).
    For label printer I am able to print only one copy, irrespective of number of copies specified. However I can able to number of copies specified for standard printer.
    Can anyone help me what could be the reason? Is that any settings should be done for label printer ?
    Thanks.

  • Unable to read burned dvd, unable to format dvd, and unable to burn dvd

    Unable to read burned dvd, unable to format dvd, and unable to burn dvd with my HP G62-339WM Notebook PCI have been unable to perform the Windows back up for months without using new discs. But even after using new discs Windows backup tells me that the disc that I previously used that it is asking to insert is not formatted. I also have not been able to read any dvds that I previously burned, instead it will sometimes recognize them as blank and they are not.  I also cannot perform a format on new dvd discs nor burn to them. I have been able to read some previously burned discs on another pc but not the discs that were created with Windows backup. I have tried everything. I have uninstalled the device, ran the fix it, tried troubleshooting, checked the registry and could not find the upper and lower filters listed. I am however able to read program software and the autorun pops up. Once in a while the autorun will pop up when a blank disc is inserted but then that is all the further I am able to use it. I don't know what else to do. I really want to be able to at least burn files to back up so that they are not lost forever. Please help!

    Fixed it myself - for some reason the La Cie refused to read the media. Had to use another machine to pull the data from the drive, copy it over the network to my iMac and then mount the ISO image.

  • PDS - XML format, unable to read special characters in a string.

    Hi All,
    I've been using XML files to create my report with Oracle9i's new featue of PDS.
    Now, I'm unable to read a file if it contains '&' or '<' in the string. In fact, the xml file itself not able to crate a xml page in the browser, if these special characters are present.
    Is there any way to solve this problem ?
    I can't tell the users to remove &, < from the description data. Is there any way to workaround for this ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Satya.

    Hi Rohit and Rajesh
    Thanks for your reply.
    In fact, my problem is like this:
    I'll get data in .txt file and save that as a .xml file in the network before calling Oracle report ,which gets data from the .xml.
    The contents are like this:
    <Comapy name> Ford Motors UK & Europe</Company name>
    <Department> HR & Pensions</Depatrment>
    <Salary>Grad4 < 25000 </Salary>
    As per XML entity character representation, I need to replace '&' with '&amp;' and '<' with '<lt;'
    I'm wondering is there any other way to solve this problem as it is difficult to replace '<' and '>' generically.
    Honestly, I couldn't understand what Mr. Rajesh was trying to tell.
    'for & use & ( with semicolon at the end)'
    'for < use <'
    'for > use >'
    Can you shed some light on this ?
    Many thanks
    Satya.

  • I need to change the page setup to an unusual size for label printing

    Hello. I'm trying to print a label that is 2" wide x 1-1/2 high. Firefox defaults to 8-1/2" x 11" or A4 page size and I've been unable to figure out how to change the default size to 2" x 1-1/2".
    I've cleared all the margins to zero and removed all header and footer information. But how do I change the size to 2" wide x 1-1/2" high?
    When I print, it will print the label correctly. However, it spits out 11" of labels instead of stopping at 1-1/2"
    The printer is set up to accept the size (it's a Zebra label printer), but Firefox appears to be sending a page size that is different.
    Any help here would be most appreciated.
    Thank you

    Thanks for your answer. Instead of formatting through FireFox, I had to go in and format it via the printer. Duh! Feel stupid not doing this first. If any one else has this problem, I was able to set it up on the printer by going to Printers > Printer Properties > Printer Preferences and set it up. Good luck and thank you for your reply.

  • Problem printing horizontal text in smartform with zebra Z6M label printer

    hello,
    The situation is this:
    There is a Z smartform wich prints a label to a zebra Z6M label printer with the text and barcodes vertically.
    The form have a command in the main windows with the parameter: S_LZPL_SETUP     '^FWR'
    This label works fine, but the client want to change the form, they have told me to create a new smartform and print the info horizontally, using the same printer.
    The tests i have done are the following:
    create a smartform from ground and write a template text and a barcode with a new font of system barcodes. the bardoce is shown ok(it is shown horizontally), the problem is that the template text is shown vertically, as in the original smartform.
    then i tried on another zebra ZM600 label printer, similar model, but not the same, and the smartform printed was ok (text and barcodes shown horizontally). So i think is a configuration setting problem, but i dont know where to search.
    i have checked the label printer parameters in SPAD, but didnt find anything souspicios.
    have you any idea?
    thanks in advance.

    See these if they be of any help.....
    BARCODE:
    goto smartform styles-> create a style-->
    create a character format.
    under standard settings give the bar code name
    use this style in ur smartform. select the data field which u want to barcode print and assign the character format
    Similarly
    SAPSCRIPT
    open the form and click the character format button and
    repeat the step as above....
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/68/4a0d5b74110d44b1b88d9b6aa1315b/frameset.htm
    Go to Character formate in your form.
    create a new char formate with enable BAR code AND
    you can give its type too.
    To Create a Bar code prefix:
    1) Go to T-code - SPAD -> Full Administration -> Click on Device Type -> Double click the device for which you wish to create the print control -> Click on Print Control tab ->Click on change mode -> Click the plus sign to add a row or prefix say SBP99 (Prefix must start with SBP) -> save you changes , it will ask for request -> create request and save
    2) Now when you go to SE73 if you enter SBP00 for you device it will add the newly created Prefix
    Create a character format C1.Assign a barcode to the character format.Check the check box for the barcode.
    The place where you are using the field value use like this
    <C1> &itab-field& </C1>.
    You will get the field value in the form of barcode.
    Which barcode printer are you using ? Can you download this file and see.
    http://www.servopack.de/Files/HB/ZPLcommands.pdf.
    It will give an idea about barcode commands.

    Detailed information about SAP Barcodes
    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.
    Creating Bar code:
    ) Go to T-code - SPAD -> Full Administration -> Click on Device Type -> Double click the device for which you wish to create the print control -> Click on Print Control tab ->Click on change mode -> Click the plus sign to add a row or prefix say SBP99 (Prefix must start with SBP) -> save you changes , it will ask for request -> create request and save
    2) Now when you go to SE73 if you enter SBP00 for you device it will add the newly created Prefix
    Create a character format C1.Assign a barcode to the character format.Check the check box for the barcode.
    The place where you are using the field value use like this
    <C1> &itab-field& </C1>.
    You will get the field value in the form of barcode.

  • Label Printer SAP

    Hi ,
           I am trying to configure Label Printer in SAP . Our ABAP developer has created a Smartform (which is linked to Custom Page format of size 12 * 21 mm) .
           Now  we are finding it diffcult to configre the label printer in sap
    Printer Name : TOSHIBA TEC B-SX4
            Do SAP have Device type for the above Printer ? Can some body guide me throw the set up of Label Printer.
    Thanks,
    Srini.

  • Contacts and Brother QL-580N Label Printer

    Hi,
    I'm trying to get Contacts app in Mountain Lion (previously known as Address Book) to print natively to a Brother QL-580N printer. By 'natively' I mean without having to install Brother's GUI application.
    At the time that I added the printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan, Mountain Lion reached out and downloaded QL-580n CUPS drivers nicely.
    I can select QL-580N as the printer, with CUPS driver, and send it print jobs.
    What I can't do is figure out how to format it for 1.1" X 3.5" labels (Brother address labels DK-1201) in Contacts app.
    In Print Dialog box > Contacts > Size I can choose 1.1" by 3.5" but it prints portrait instead of landscape, printing only part of the address across the middle of the label.
    If there was a landscape option it would be easy... am I missing something?
    Thanks,
    b.

    Ok... I got there, kinda.
    I found that the 'envelopes' style has a landscape/portrait option.
    With some help from this post: Re: Address Book label printing
    I was able to prit a label directly from Contacts.
    Be very careful of the Basic > Length setting. It defaults to 11 inches. This will waste a LOT of tape if you don't remember to set it to something appropriate. Unfortunately you need to do this each time; saving as a preset does not save this option

  • Printing 4 x 6 format

    I've recently tried to print photographs using 4x6 paper. With both an HP PSC 1510 and an Epson Picture Mate I am unable to print when selecting 4x6 format from either the menu or by creating the size as a custom paper size from the print functions menus. Have tried using Photoshop CS and iPhoto with the same results. The file is sent to the printer and the printer seems to reject the file due to the size.
    By selecting letter size paper both printers will generate prints but either print a small image on the 4x6 paper or print a section of a letter size image on the paper.
    Any thoughts on resolving this?
    Thanks

    You might want to go to File - Page Setup and make sure the printer you are using is selected. Do this just before you print. Its worth a try. It works on some of my programs.

  • Questions - Putaway label printing

    Hi all,
    I need to develop a smartform to print the following putway label:
    i--|||--
    |
    i--|||--
    |
    BAR CODE
    material NO
    material desc
    bin location
    quantity
    date/time
    Now for the bar code,the specification are as follows:
    Code128A Font min size 28
    For this BAR CODE,do i need to use the std system  bar code C128A or C128A_00??
    Also do I need to create a template in my smartform for the above format of the label or a table would be appropriate?
    Also the bar code is a combination of 2 fields i.e. Item No and TO no.So in the text node for the bar code i will write the comcatenated value of these 2 fields and  include the bar code smart style  ...But how will this ensure that BAR CODE isprinted in form of thin lines? Is the BAR code prnted in form of line due to printer setting or I have to write something exclusively in smartform?
    Also,do i need to use zebra printer for label printing or normal Laser printer will suffice?
    Please advice.
    Thanks.

    Dear Ram,
    Through laser printer it is not possible....
    If you are having ZEBRA Printer you can design the label in the ZEBRA DESIGNER that has been provided by ZEBRA.
    After designing the form you save it as a text file by selecting the File Menu-> Print option.
    Then you select the text file coding and paste it into SMARTFORMS and assign the variable for the respective fields...
    Then use this function module in your driver program and execute it.
    In the same way,
    If you are using the PRINTRONIX Printer you will have to design the label by using the NIice Label software.
    And the rest of the procedure is same...
    Hope this will help you to move further...
