Printing Problem in Smartforms

Hello Experts,
I am having the problem with printing the data in smartform.
My question is, suppose my preview is containing 6 pages.
But when i am giving the print command it is printing onlyone page.
I have already used command line in my form.
Thanks
Swati.

This error is faced generlly when output type has not been assigned to the document type.In sales order Follow the path
Goto-Extras-Output-Header-Edit.
Here mention the output type and communication medium and save the document.
Now try to issue the output.
I assume that you have maintain the output determination procedure in SPRO.
this requires configuration.
Configure the copied program name for your output type & this entry must be there in table TNAPR. Only then you will be able to issue the output..
XXXX-----
when you are running the VF03 for seeing the print preview you have to do
Billing documents-->issue output to --> printer / screen
Now this is possible when the output type is already allotted for that .
For this check the navigation
Goto VF02 -> enter the invoice number , hit enter, from the Second screen
Goto>Header>output--> will land you to a table control screen.
Now here u need to give the output type and enter give the printer name in logical destination, and save.
Now do the Billing documents>issue output to->screen--> output type as 'ZXXX'
.and execute .

Print problem in SmartForm after upgradation.

Hello experts
iam getting a problem in printout from a Z program (Execution) in which some information regarding 'Delivery No.' and 'Invoice No.' is coming from VBFA table.
Can anyone tell me the reason for not getting the printout.
I was not getting the print preview either.
This problem is coming after we have shifted from oracle 9i to 10G. Previously it is running fine.
Even we have run that smartform alone without program and it was not working
please reply.
Regards
Yogesh Sharma

Hey Yogesh,
If you are just looking for the Document number then the tables
VBRP LIPS and VBAP are sufficient.
Please paste your select query for me to get a clear picture. anyways here is the flow
Table VBRP
VBRP-AUBEL = Sale order No
VBRP-AUPOS = Line item No
VBRP-VGBEL = Delivery order No
VBRP-VGPOS = Line item No
Table LIPS
LIPS-VGBEL = Sale Order No
LIPS-VGPOS = Line item No
Hope this helps
Regards,
Ravi

Regarding Printing problem in SMARTFORMS (BarCode)

In SPAD , some standard printers are there. But I am trying to print the output in HP DeskJet 3050 , which is not in the list. And one more , I am able to print the ABAP List from SAP , but not the SMARTFORMS only.
Because when I see the SP01 , SMARTFORMS o/p are in the OTF format.

Hi all
I got the answer.
In transaction SPAD,for the output device you are using check the values entered for fields "Host spool access method" & "Host Printer".
If the method is "F-printing on frontend", then the expected value for the Host Printer is "__default"
Thanks & Regards,

Printing Problem in Smartform Payslip

Dear All,
I have developed a payslip in smartform and it is working fine but when select the printer (set up by the Basis People) and click on the Print Preview or the Print Button it is giving the status as NO VENDOR SPECIFIED. and leaves to the selection screen.
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Shareef.

how do you know it is working fine before you printed or print preview?
I suspect that you are doing something in the SF that requires a vendor and it doesn't have it at the right time. I would say see where vendor may be required and put a break-point before it to see if the value is there.

Printing problem in Smartform

Hi All,
I am printing smartform in dot matrix printer so i have change my page format as per need but than also at right side of page, out put not coming.
So can anybody please tell me what change i should make for its proper working?
Thanks in advance....

Hi,
In smarform either in Attributes/Output options you have one option called left margin and Right margin. Set that option in smartform which works for entire form.
If you want only for one paragraph check out in the Styles. You can find the same option for each paragraph format.

Hi!
In your smartform
define Style for your smartform.
there create a paragraph format in which in the tab Indents and Spacing define the alignment as left-aligned .
save the style and activate it.
now go to your form and there where you are writing the text unit in that text node
go to the output options tab and rite your style name in the style input box.
then go to the general attributes tab and there in paragraph formats you can find your paragraph format that you have defined select in in the list box.
activate your form.
you will get the desired output.

Smartforms layout printing diffrent in diffrent printer

Hi,
I have a layout designed in Smartforms. Till now it was printing fine from a specific printer but when using diffrent printer it is not printing well. Major issues are:barcode not showing, Font size is bit smaller & some text from the right hand side is missing. Is there any printer issue we need to fix or do i need to design diffrent layout for this printer? Please advise.

We are having a similar problem with SMARTFORMS for 1099 called IDWTCERT_US_1099MISC. We noticed that the print preview after testing the 1099 and the print preview from the SPOOL (trx SP01) shows the 1099 form OK, but printing it out cuts off the right side of the form/image.
There are two things we've tried so far:
1) In SPAD, we have adjusted in the Output Attributes Tab of the DEVICE the area called Additional SAPScript and Smart Form Information. Here, the horizontal move can be entered as a -10 (in millimeters) for instance.
This didn't work for us, as it only shifted the truncated image to the left 1 CM.
2) Before printing from the spool in SP01 we changed the printer from the device type to be LOCL. This worked well, but we are not sure that it will work well when they print the 1099s in the production run.
I'd love to get some more feedback on this issue to see if using LOCL is the best way to do this, or if I can shift the background image or something. Shifting the background image would be difficult, however, not to mention it would make all the SMARTFORM fields on the 1099 print in the wrong spot.
Further ideas?

Problem with printing logo in smartforms

Hi guys,
we have a logo in a window, its working fine in print preview, however when printing the document its all black. The logo does not display, instead the window is blackened.
Please advise.

Hi freishz ,
When u r sayin 'document its all black' do u mean that the background of image is appearing black or it is completely black nothing is displayed?
I had faced similar problem in smartform,where i was gettin grey background of the logo...
For this, you need to edit the logo image first. open the logo image in ms paintbrush and save it as 256 color bitmap image. now upload this bitmap in sap using tcode se78.
Now use this logo......

Urgent!! Printing Barcode using smartforms

req: need to print barcode using smartforms.
【Settings】
The following settings are made already
1. Style ( paragraph, character type(Syatem Barcode ) )is created and activated (T-code:Smartforms)
2. In the smartform I used the above style to print barcode .
※TEXTTYPE = TEXT ELEMENT.
【Execution】
1. I run the smartform in test mode with setting any print parameters
2. Trigger print preview
【Problem】
1. I am getting only BAR's no barcodes.
The bracodes are not displayed properly.
If I test the same system barcode in SE73 it displayed properly.
Is there anyother settings are necessory?
Plz help me in solving the peoblem

Hi
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.

Best Regards,

hi Krishna,
This printer does not support ZPL2 so I thnk you cnnot use the device types like LZEB2. It should work to print via windows and a device type like SAPWIN or SWINCF.

Using SSF_OPEN and SSF_CLOSE, is it possible to print the next smartform in the same page?

Hi Experts,
I'm using SSF_OPEN and SSF_CLOSE, to print multiple smartforms. In between SSF_OPEN and SSF_CLOSE, there is a loop at a smartform. The output prints each smartform in different pages. Is it possible to print the second smartform in the first page since there is still space for printing there?
Thanks in Advanced,
Jack

Hi Jack,
As per my knowledge,
you can't print two smartform in single page because smart form having own page-size.
If your layout page is A4 size then first layout print in A4 page and next layout will be go-to next print page. but if you have different kind of page size for both layout then you can control from printer side then that case both page will be printed in single print page.
