PCL escape command sequence on the printer

Hi All,
I have a Toshiba e-series printer that needs some customerization. The issue I have has to do with automatic feed i.e the printer uses "manually feed paper".
The toshiba printer driver for SAP says..."Input Tray Selection
No PJL control is available, so it should be implemented using PCL escape command sequence.
*Automatic <esc>&l17H*
*Drawer 1 <esc>&l01H*
*Drawer 2 <esc>&l4H*
*LCF <esc>&l5H*
*Drawer 3 <esc>&l5H*
*Drawer 4 <esc>&l21H*
**Bypass Tray <esc>&l2H** "
I dont know how/where this PCL would be changed. Can you assist please?

I'm pretty sure this needs to be changed in the printer initialization string of the SAP device type for each format. Here's how:
SPAD - Full Admin
Device Type tab - enter in your device type
Click the implemented formats (F6)
Go into Change mode
Double click a format
Double click printer initialization
This is the code you need to alter.
Try to find the section for PCL.01. You may see a string like your examples but commented out (# in front of it). Uncomment and change to the desired command. Normally all need to change are the characters between the & and the H.

When printing from my Mac all of a sudden when printing from IPhoto the picture is really dark. The test page off my HP color laser jet is just fine. It is not the printer although older. All of sudden it does not want to print correctly.

All of a sudden when printing from my desktop Mac in IPhoto the printout comes out black. My colors are fine on my HP color laser printer. I have printed many times and now all of a sudden it is not printing. A test copy from my printer comes out fine. I really think for some reason something has changed just in the last few days. Just communication with IPhoto and the computer.

As long as your cartriges are full, put a photo on you desktop, highlight it , click COMMAND P and the print preferences window should drop down, and select your printer and photo paper.

Command Sequence in Command URL

Hello everyone. I'm having a problem with a command sequence using the Web Template as a Web Item. The command resets data providers TOPN1 and TOPN3 to new queries.
I have the following command sequence in a Web Template:
<SAP_BW_URL DATA_PROVIDER='TOPN1' CMD='RESET_DATA_PROVIDER' INFOCUBE='ZDL_M03' QUERY='ZZDL_M03_Q0001' CMD_1="DATA_PROVIDER=TOPN3&CMD=RESET_DATA_PROVIDER&INFOCUBE=ZDL_M03&QUERY=ZZDL_M03_Q0002&RRI=X">
The command sequence is working correctly in this Web Template, template SUBTEMPLATE. However, this template is being called in another web template, MASTERTEMPLATE, via the web template item. When the command is called as part of MASTERTEMPLATE, only the first DataProvider, 'TOPN1', is being reset. The second dataprovider, 'TOPN3', is not being reset.
I am running BW 3.5. Just to reiterate, when called as a standalone web template, the command sequence works correctly. When called as part of another web template, the command sequence is only resetting the first dataprovider in the command sequence. Has anyone come across something like this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Peter,
I have a similar issue under BW 3.5 except that I have not had any success with command sequences. I have web templates that I use as menus to get to the web template that has the command sequence assigned to a button. When I change the command in the command sequence to handle either of the commands as a single command it works fine.
I noticed that you used double quotes on the CMD_1 string whereas examples I have seen use single quotes. I don't know if that is the issue.
I'm not helping you much but at least you know you are not alone with this issue.
If I have any success in overcoming it I will let you know.

Problem in using Command sequences in Javascript in WAD

Hi,
I have created a WAD template in BEx 3.5 with multiple Web items (Tables & Charts). On the WAD there is an input field wherein the user enters the date and clicks on a button. The button click invokes a Javascript function to process certain commands (build together in a command sequence).
The command sequence is as follows:
SAP_BW_URL_Get() + "&CMD=PROCESS_VARIABLES" + "%26SUBCMD%3DVAR_SUBMIT" + "%26VAR_NAME_1
%3DZTD_LODT" + "%26VAR_VALUE_EXT_1%3D" + datef.DATE_1.value + "%26VAR_NAME_2%3DZTD_DTR" +
"%26VAR_VALUE_EXT_2%3D" + datef.DATE_1.value + "&CMD_1=ITEM%3DCHART_1%26CAPTION%3D" + c_hdr_1
+ "&CMD_2=ITEM%3DCHART_2%26CAPTION%3D" + c_hdr_2;
Note: datef.DATE_1.value, c_hdr_1 and c_hdr_2 are custom run time variables declared in my HTML / Javascript function.
The data providers by default are executed for the current date if no date is entered by the user which is the case when the web application is first executed.
The first command is to re-execute the Data Providers to get the data as per the date entered by the user. This command is for changing the relevant variables in the variable screen and executing it to get the data from the data providers.
The second and third command modify the caption of the web items CHART_1 and CHART_2 respectively.
When i execute the command sequence the first command seems NOT to be executed(expected change in data not visible in the web items) while the second and third command seem to be executed as the heading of web items is modified.
Before building the command sequence i had tested the each of the commands in isolation and it worked as expected i.e.
First Command: The data in the web items changed as per the date entered by the user
Second & Third Command: Heading of the web item changed
Why is the first command in the command sequence not getting executed with the desired result?
Looking forward to your views / clues which might help resolve this issue.
regards
Nitesh

Hi Bala,

When printing on photopaper with HP PSC 1510, the top part of the print does not print.

When I try to print on photopaper with PSC 1510, it does not print the top part of the print - the paper seems to get feeded well. It looks like it somehow moves the printing area 10 cm higher on the document, so the pictures are cut in the middle and the top part is not printed. This varies - printing using the Windows image preview didn't cut off as much as Open Office's Writer.

As long as your cartriges are full, put a photo on you desktop, highlight it , click COMMAND P and the print preferences window should drop down, and select your printer and photo paper.

Can we cancel the print out of a scheduled report?

Suppose a report is scheduled and configured to printer.
We want send a cancel command to the printer.
how can this be done?

Hi Sriram,
Once you send any request to printer it will take it into printer buffer. You can't pass any command to cancell the printer buffer. You will have to go in printers and cancell the print job.
If you switch off the printer also the print que will wait till the printer comes in ready mode.
You will have to change the configuration of the scheduled report.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks,
Sastry

Command sequencing for a javascript command

I am trying to execute a link in a web page that requires a command sequence.
The second command CMD_2 is a javascript function.

PCL Escape Sequence for PDF417 barcodes

I have purchased the HP Laserjet Font Solutions (HP Part HG271US) for my HP Color LaserJet CP4020 Series printer so that I can create shipping labels with scannable barcodes for our customers. I am able to generate the PCL code and print out code 39 and code 128 barcodes. When I print out the PCL font list, it shows the escape sequences for the code 39 and code 128 barcodes. I need to print out pdf417 barcodes as well but I don't get any escape sequences on the PCL font list or a font ID for the pdf417 barcode.
Does anyone know what the escape sequence is for the PDF417 barcode when using the HP Laserjet Font Solutions (HP Part HG271US)?

A translation of your PCL snippet for Code 128:
<Esc>&a0P Print Direction: 0 degree rotation
<Esc>&a3R Cursor Position Vertical (row 3)
<Esc>&a0C Cursor Position Horizontal (column 0)
<Esc>(9Y Primary Font: Symbol Set (identifier = 9Y)
<Esc>(s1P Primary Font: Spacing: Proportional
<Esc>(s30V Primary Font: Height (30 points)
<Esc>(s0S Primary Font: Style (Upright, solid)
<Esc>(s0B Primary Font: Stroke Weight: Medium
<Esc>(s28687T Primary Font: Typeface (identifier = 28687)
*VttbRackLabelInfo.SupplierCode*
Note that I've changed the "(s30v" to "(s30V" to comply with PCL syntax rules.
And a translation of your PDF417 snippet:
<Esc>&a0P Print Direction: 0 degree rotation
<Esc>&a8R Cursor Position Vertical (row 8)
<Esc>&a113C Cursor Position Horizontal (column 113)
<Esc>(9Y Primary Font: Symbol Set (identifier = 9Y)
<Esc>(s1P Primary Font: Spacing: Proportional
<Esc>(s50V Primary Font: Height (50 points)
<Esc>(s0S Primary Font: Style (Upright, solid)
<Esc>(s0B Primary Font: Stroke Weight: Medium
<Esc>(sp Primary Font: Spacing: Fixed
b Primary Font: Stroke Weight: Medium
24850T Primary Font: Typeface (identifier = 24850)
*ttbRackLabelInfo.PCISegment15*
with the same correction as above; note also that you have specified (the same) stroke weight twice, and two different spacing attributes (the latest will apply).
It's possible that other values for some of these attributes may have non-standard interpretations by the font DIMM (e.g. to specifiy PDF417 error-correction level).

I need to attach a printer command (PCL) to all jobs from a print queue

We're running NW5.1 SP1a, and I want to send a PCL command to the
printer before all print jobs come from a certain queue. The purpose of
this is so that the DOS-based program that prints to LPT3 will print
from tray 2 of our networked laser printer. I have the PCL command I
need, and if I put it at the beginning of a doucment and then print it
from the DOS program, it will come from the correct tray.
BTW, this program is run from machines running DOS 6.22, Windows 98,
and XP. Some of the DOS boxes do a network boot from floppy, so doing
something with printer drivers on each machine is not an option. Since
they all capture the same print queues, all it would take is to be able
to send the PCL command to the printer with every job. Surely this is
possible?
Thanks!

Thank you for your help. I finally figured out what the problem was.
None of the printer definitions were visible to me when creating print
job configurations. I finally figured out what you do to import them.
Now I can attach them to my print job configuration. Yay!
I must have had some problem with the search queries I was using,
because I never could find out how to create print device definitions.
I have a couple of books here, but all they say is useless stuff like
"Print device definitions are created using the Administrator Console."
Thanks to the page of the documentation you linked to (and searching
from that section of the documentation and then following the
resulting links), I found out exactly what to do with the Administrator
Console to create/define print configurations. Now I can create a
complete print job. Yee-haw!
BTW, I have no problem RTFM-ing as long as I have the right FM to R.
Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction!

P.S--For what it's worth, although initially a bit counterintuitive for

of bailing wire and duct tape.

How to switch on and off displaying of escape sequences in the strings in Visual Studio 2012 during debugging?

Hi. We have faced a problem on couple of our installations of VS2012. During debugging on these two computers escape sequences in the strings (C++) are not shown (when debugger stops on breakpoint). This creates problems during debugging. On other
installations escape sequences are shown.
For example in the first case string value is shown like "abcdef" while in the second case it is shown like "abc\n\t\tdef".
Where this can be changed?

This is typically controlled with a format specifier on the debugger expression. For example, if you have a char* variable called "mystring", then enter the following expressions in your watch window and compare:
mystring
"abc\n\tdef"
mystring,s
"abc\n\tdef"
mystring,sb
abcdef
the "b" is for "bare" and eliminates quotes and escape sequences.
There are others such as su, sub, s8, bstr, etc. See
Format Specifiers in C++.
But having said that, now I have to ask:
Is it native or managed code?
And where, specifically, in the debugger is this value being displayed? I ask because there are numerous places where a string can be displayed: watch window, quick-watch window, data-tips (pinned and unpinned), memory window, text visualizer,
debug messages, immediate window, command window, etc.
And, if you are examining a variable, what is its type? (e.g.: char*, wchar_t*, std::string, std::wstring, etc.)
And if you are examining a complex debugger expression, what expression did you use? e.g.: mystring,sb

How to make the print command wait until form is rendered.

This is an ongoing issue that so far I haven't been able to figure out how to fix, so I'm hoping that someone will have a good idea or work around. I'm working in LiveCycle Designer ES v8. using JavaScript.
I have to include a feature that allows the user the choice to print out a dynamic form to fill out by hand. So I've created a button that asks if this is what they want to do, if they answer "Yes", then several things are scripted to happen. All data is reset, some subforms and pages are made visible, while other subforms are hidden, and text fields are expanded. This causes the form to expand from one page to 15 pages. Then it prints using this command:
xfa.host.print(1,
"0", (xfa.host.numPages -1).toString(), 0, 1, 0, 0, 0);
The problem is that when the print dialogue box appears, the Print Range is always set to less than the total number of pages. It looks like that the print commands fires before the form has completed rendering. This isn't a big deal since the user can click to set the Print Range to "All" which will print all 15 pages. The problem is that most people don't read the dialogue box. They click "okay" and end up with their form cut off. Then I get phone calls that my form doesn't work.
Is there anyway to delay the print command until everything has finished rendering? Or set the Print Range to always go to "All"?
Thanks in advance for your help with this.

It sounds like you'd be fine if you just separated the print function from your "Yes" button. It will require a 2nd button click from the user but that would be the only inconvenience.

The Print command takes ages to bring up the print window

When I use the print command, I get the spinning disk for about 5-7 seconds before the expected print window displays. This has been happening for the last month or so, but don't ask me what I did to make this happen I update and download applications all the time. Any help will be appreciated. If it is of any relevance, my list of printers has 4-5 of them but this was always the case and in the past the print window was coming up fast.

A couple of ideas.
Have a look for HP preference files in the system library under 'preferences' and delete them.
Double check your driver is the right one for your OS and machine.
Reinstall the software that came with your printer. NB: Install all the software that came with your printer. It's easy enough to remove the garbage apps afterwards.
Give these a try and post back.

In Contacts version 8, how can I print ALL information in each individual card? When I select the print command the only thing printed is the name and address. I need phone number(s) and all other information in the cards. We enter various pieces of data, other than the standard name address & phone numbers and we print all information on each card so it fits in a 5x7 inch loose binder. We have used InTouch software for many years and it has served us extremely welll, however, the publisher (The Prairie Group) has not, and apparently has no plans to update their software to be compatible with any Mac OSX OS beyond 10.6. Any help will be appreciated!

You can select what you want included in a list format. In the Print command from Contacts, click the Show Details button. Then in the Style pulldown menu select "Lists" and there you'll be able to select what you want included. You can also select what you wish included if you select the Pocket Address Book style.
If neither of those options will work for you, then you will need to look to third-party software. Here's one possibility that seems to get good reviews:
https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/15485/labels-&-addresses
I haven't done more than try it to make sure that it works with OS X 10.9's Contacts, which it does, but you can download their demo and try it yourself.
