PERFECT/COMPLETE VERTICAL LINE IN SAPSCRIPT?

Hello all,
I have to draw vertical lines to make a grid in a SAPscript. But the grid size is not fixed, there a number of records and long texts that are displayed based on certain conditions.
Is there a way to draw a perfect/complete veritcal in SAPscript dynamically?
Looking forward to hear from you peoples...

You can use the BOX command to draw vertical lines.
/: BOX [xpos] [ypos] [width][height] [frame] [intensity].
here the widt has to be 0 to get a line and the height can be a variable as required.
Thanks,
Renjith.

  • Drawing a vertical line in sapscript

    Hi all,
    How can I draw vertical lines in sapscript? Box can be used, but is there any other way? like vline or something else?
    Regards,
    Netrey.

    Hi
    Try with the field &VLINE&
    if don't work,You have to draw boxes only as per the size of the windows.
    /: BOX FRAME 10 TW
    There is no other way like how we write in Report output.
    Reward points if useful

  • My Imac has black and white vertical lines

    Riddle me this Apple...
    A few months ago, my 2008 Aluminium 24inch Imac locked up and exhibited space invader style pixels all over the screen.
    After rebooting, it was fine for a while and then it would freeze again and I'd get the same Atari style pixels appearing, and everything would be frozen.
    Then, most reboots after that, I would get vertical lines in groups of three, alternating black and white squares as in the photo.
    I called Apple here in South Australia, and they said "it's your graphics card, and it will cost $400 to fix and we need it for a week".
    Not wanting to do that, I bought a $15 firewire cable, booted the Imac in T mode and used my PC laptop running macdrivepro to save all my files onto a 500gig backup drive, and then proceeded to fix the corrupted kext files and most importantly delete the recent flash player update which I believe was causing the problem.
    Booted her back up, and she ran perfectly. For a few weeks, until it started again.
    So I re-installed the Leopard operating system from the original disks, and that fixed it. $15 is better than $400.
    Now, a few months have passed, and the problem had come back again, now that I have added more stuff on my computer.
    This time however, I chose to wipe the drive completely and do a fresh install of Leopard, and then upgrade to Snow Leopard.
    The problem is that it won't boot from the CD drive anymore, won't boot from a thumb drive, won't boot in any mode except T mode, but then it has these lines on the screen again and eventually I get the kernel panic happenning and it wants to be shut down.
    Every time I start the computer, these lines IMMEDIATELY appear. I've tried resetting the Pram, tried changing memory and have now resorted to surgery.
    I've taken apart the Imac, yes I hear you Apple...you guys thought that we mortals wouldn't delve into the depths of your finely machined systems, however, some of us do own micro torx head tools to remove those pesky screws, and yes, a razor blade does lift up the magnetically attached screen glass without having to use suction pads.
    So once inside the temple of doom, I removed the hard drive, and dropped it into a hard drive dock.
    After days of messing around with it via four other MAC computers, running Tiger, Leopard and Lion, we have still not been able to install an operating system back onto this drive.
    Does anyone have any insight into what these lines actually are? Every one I speak to says a different thing...
    "It's the graphics card", "It's the hard drive", "It's the cable that connects the LCD screen", "It's the motherboard", It's the screen itself", "It's a corrupted bios" etc etc..
    But if it's any of those things...then why did it run perfectly after I fixed it the first time?
    Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi BDAqua,
    I appreciate you taking the time to reply, and for the suggestions.
    My spider sense was tingling, as were my eager fingers to login and read your reply, in fact I was almost salivating at the thought of crushing those Apple reps with a swift blow from one of my megalithic old 4gig internal drives, or better still, perhaps shooting my old DX266 sporting a massive 256k HD and 4mb of ram, fully loaded with Encarta and Windows 3.11 out of a cannon and straight into Steve Jobs bedroom window, with a note saying..."How'd ya like them apples..".
    But alas, my Aquatic friend, I am in need of a functioning operating system to be able to do any of those magical tricks you suggested (insert frown face here)..and yes, when I finally opened up the Imac and peered inside, a moment not unlike Indiana Jones peering down into the depths of the Well of Souls, I suddenly realised that an Imac might look impervious to heat vision and thermonuclear devices on the outside, but inside they can still gather as much dust as my infinately useless ZIP drive that I bought back in the late 90's, thinking it was the best thing since the invention of microsoft paint...awesome program by the way guys..
    Getting back to the problem at hand, the issue really is that I have, perhaps stupedly, reformatted the 500gig WD drive via a hard drive dock, which is really a lot like one of those early 1950's cassette drives you find in vintage cars..
    And upon returning the drive to the Imac and re-assembling it WITH REAL SCREWS, not titanium-alloy fingerprint encoded ones like you would expect to find in Iron Man's suit, I could only boot the poor thing into T mode. No other modes were available, and believe me, I tried all of the alphabet...even the "C" button, which if you ever watched an episode of Knight Rider called Knight of the Juggernaught, did not turn my computer into a convertable..
    By now you're probably sensing that the irony of all of this is that I am typing this message on my Windows 7 upgraded HP laptop, which sounds not unlike a jumbo jet taking off at times, the fans are so loud, and among other things, it keeps telling me it is not genuine, even though I paid good money for a proper copy to free me from the painful experience which was Vista, and so in a sense, microsoft is playing a small part in the desperate rescue of it's far superior, yet broken down and busted arch enemy...I bet somewhere in it's RAM, it is smiling in little ones and zeroes, while it hides behind a free copy of AVAST, hoping one of a billion nasty viruses don't come knocking on the kernel door..
    The next round of drinks goes to the man, woman, child or droid that has any other suggestions that could allow me to participate in some of the ideas put forward by our very knowledgable watery friend..as alas, I do not have any of those options available to me.
    Today's assignment is.. how do we install an operating system on a formatted external drive. Sounds easy doesn't it...I've read many articles, but in practice it's proved as elusive as Bigfoot.
    I just cannot make this hard drive understand that there is no spoon...

  • How I fixed the colored vertical lines on my Mac Powerbook G4 17"

    Hello all,
    I know that many people with a Powerbook G4 17" are suffering from the colored vertical line problem on their displays.  This is were a pixel wide vertical line of color (yellow, green, purple, red, and/or blue) randomly appears on the laptop's display, usually between 24-36 months after purchase.  This is also known on various internet forums as the "bridget riley effect" -- named after a painter whose art looks very similar to this effect.  Many, if not all, of the laptops that suffer from this defect are 17" displays and have a serial number that starts with W8.  Mine starts with W85; you can check yours by looking underneath the battery.  It usually starts off as just one line, then two, then a few months pass and before you know it your screen looks like this:
    This is my screen two years after the first line showed up, which was two and half years after getting it in December of 2005.  Not so pretty. And completely useless without an external display, kind of killing the purpose of a Laptop.  As a film editor I needed my screen to see the images and more importantly I needed it to be mobile.  There's not always a screen to plug into. 
    I tried getting Apple to fix the problem, but apparently they're just ignoring the fact that almost all the laptops that came from this certain factory in Thailand (indicated by the serial number starting with W8) have failing displays.  They delete threads and forums on their website, and try to censor and ignore the problem as much as they can.  Unless some huge media blitz happens, or there is some kind of legitimate lawsuit, I highly doubt they ever will do anything about it, and you can't really blame them.  They are a big business and addressing this problem with cost them potentially millions in repairs and tarnish their reputation as a quality manufacturer, and Apple's biggest commodity is its reputation.  It ***** that Apple allowed this kind of thing to happen, but as things stand right now, it would be a poor business decision to fix it.
    So, fellow vertical line sufferers, AKA the W8 club, my advice to you is stop holding out hope that they will pay for your screen to be fixed and get it done yourself!  If you do it right you can get it done for between $60-$99.  Here's how I did it. 
    First off, know that this is a hardware problem.  There is no setting in system preferences you can change that will make the lines go away.  There are failing physical parts in your computer to blame and they need to be replaced. 
    Second, in order to keep things as cheap as possible, you are going to replace the parts.  It's actually pretty easy.
    Thirdly, you are going to need a whole new display.  I thought maybe if I replaced the display data cable (the cable that runs from the computer under the key board to the back of the screen) it might solve the problem very cheaply, since a brand new one only costs about $9 online.  I took the computer apart, replaced the cable, but the display did not change at all.  So the problem is the screen, not the cable.  I needed a whole new screen, however, a brand spanking new one can cost between $350-$600.  So I went on eBay, typed in my computer, and looked for computers that were being sold for "parts" or "repair."  These are usually much cheaper because they are not working computers, but you don't need the computer to work, you just need the display to work.  If you do this, make sure you read the descriptions.  If there's any mention of display problems, move on and keep looking.  You don't want to replace the display only to have the lines show up all over again a few months down the line.  They wont always give you the serial number, but obviously try to stay away from serial numbers that start with W8.  I found a used Powerbook being sold for parts for $63.  It didn't have RAM, or a Hard-drive, or screws to keep the keyboard on, but the display apparently had no issues.  With shipping and handling it cost me $94 total and three days to get it.  The serial number started with V7.  I'm sure with a little patience and vigilance, you can find something just as cheap or even cheaper. 
    NOTE: Some powerbooks have High-Res display screens, so make sure you know which screen yours has so you know which to look for. 
    Now, how to actually replace the display.  I used an awesome website called ifixit.com.  They give you detailed easy-to-follow instructions with photographs.  I'll let them give you the nitty gritty of how to replace the display.  Here is the actual How-to guide I used:
    http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing-PowerBook-G4-Aluminum-17-Inch-1-1-67-GHz- Display/258/1
    The only tools you really need are a small phillips head screwdriver and a T6 and T8 Torx screwdriver (they are starred on the end, as oppose to crossed like the end of a phillips head).  They say you need a "spudger" but I didn't.  You can get these at any hardware or auto-parts store.  Return them when your done if you are really on a budget, but you might want to take more part from this new computer in the future, so your call.  You'll need to print out the instructions first, or use another computer to follow them since you obviously can't use your Powerbook.  Find a flat, well-lit work space, preferably near a TV so you don't get bored while working, and use the how-to guide to switch the old display with the new one.  It only took me a couple of hours to finish the whole thing, and I didn't have to pay a repair man hundreds.  My display works perfectly now!  It's so nice to be have the mobility of a laptop again (especially since the computer i got off of eBay came with a battery that can actually hold a charge).
    NOTE: There are a bunch of screws and a few small parts that will need to be taken out while replacing the display, and its important they all go back in their proper spots.  So I highly recommend you take a long piece of tape, loop it, and stick it flat onto the side of your work space.  As you take out each screw or small part, stick them in order to the tape.  This way nothing gets lost and when you work backwards to put your computer back together you'll always know which screw or small part is next in line and which one the how-to guide is referring to.
    I really hope this helps people with this problem.  This seems to be the only solution.  And for less than $100 bucks, I think its worth it, especially since you now have back up parts for any other part of your computer that might fail in the future.  My disc drive stopped working recently so I'm replacing it with the one that came with the computer I got off eBay; a $90 part.  I tried to make this as easy-to-follow, practical, and comprehensive as I could -- for as cheap as I could.  GOOD LUCK!!!
    -R

    I suspect not. There are long threads with hundreds of reports, most with PowerBooks whose serial numbers began with W8 (or W85). Still there is no Repair Extension Program for this issue.
    At this point, your only recourse is to discuss the issue with Apple Consumer Relations at 1-800-767-2775, if you are in North America.

  • Hello need vertical  lines in the script

    Dear ABAP GURUS,
         I need to draw verticle lines in the script as a tabel, i have drawn the horizontal lines. I heard that there is the the function module to draw the verticle lines but how is that possible to use in the script. Plwase help me out in drawing the vericle lines, i Have tried using the vline but no use.

    Hi Soni,
      Its very easy to draw the vertical lines in a script.  Use BOX statement to draw the same.  Check out the syntax for BOX statement.  Give the 'Y' coordinate only and do not mention 'X' coordinate.  So that the box will appear as a vertical line.  Check it.
    Boxes, Lines, Shading: BOX, POSITION, SIZE
    The BOX, POSITION and SIZE commands for drawing boxes, lines and shadowing can be used for specifying that within a layout set particular windows or passages of text within a window are to be output in a frame or with shadowing.
    The SAP printer drivers that are based on page-oriented printers (the HP LaserJet driver HPL2, the Postscript driver POST, the Kyocera Prescribe driver PRES) employ these commands when outputting. Line printers and page-oriented printers not supported in the standard ignore these commands. The resulting printer output may be viewed in the SAPscript print previewer.
    Syntax:
    1. /: BOX [XPOS] [YPOS] [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [FRAME] [INTENSITY]
    2. /: POSITION [XORIGIN] [YORIGIN] [WINDOW] [PAGE]
    3. /: SIZE [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [WINDOW] [PAGE]
    BOX Command
    Syntax
    /: BOX [XPOS] [YPOS] [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [FRAME] [INTENSITY]
    Effect: draws a box of the specified size at the specified position.
    Parameters: For each of XPOS, YPOS, WIDTH, HEIGHT and FRAME both a measurement and a unit of measurement must be specified. The INTENSITY parameter should be specified as a percentage between 0 and 100.
    1. XPOS, YPOS: Upper left corner of the box, relative to the values of the POSITION command.
    Default: Values specified in the POSITION command.
    The following calculation is performed internally to determine the absolute output position of a box on the page:
    X(abs) = XORIGIN + XPOS
    Y(abs) = YORIGIN + YPOS
    2. WIDTH: Width of the box. Default: WIDTH value of the SIZE command.
    3. HEIGHT: Height of the box. Default: HEIGHT value of the SIZE command.
    4. FRAME: Thickness of frame.
    Default: 0 (no frame).
    5. INTENSITY: Grayscale of box contents as % .
    Default: 100 (full black)
    Measurements: Decimal numbers must be specified as literal values (like ABAP numeric constants) by being enclosed in inverted commas. The period should be used as the decimal point character. See also the examples listed below.
    Units of measurement: The following units of measurement may be used:
    • TW (twip)
    • PT (point)
    • IN (inch)
    • MM (millimeter)
    • CM (centimeter)
    • LN (line)
    • CH (character).
    The following conversion factors apply:
    • 1 TW = 1/20 PT
    • 1 PT = 1/72 IN
    • 1 IN = 2.54 CM
    • 1 CM = 10 MM
    • 1 CH = height of a character relative to the CPI specification in the layout set header
    • 1 LN = height of a line relative to the LPI specification in the layout set header
    /: BOX FRAME 10 TW
    Draws a frame around the current window with a frame thickness of 10 TW (= 0.5 PT).
    /: BOX INTENSITY 10
    Fills the window background with shadowing having a gray scale of 10 %.
    /: BOX HEIGHT 0 TW FRAME 10 TW
    Draws a horizontal line across the complete top edge of the window.
    /: BOX WIDTH 0 TW FRAME 10 TW
    Draws a vertical line along the complete height of the left hand edge of the window.
    /: BOX WIDTH '17.5' CM HEIGHT 1 CM FRAME 10 TW INTENSITY 15
    /: BOX WIDTH '17.5' CM HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW
    /: BOX XPOS '10.0' CM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW
    /: BOX XPOS '13.5' CM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW
    Draws two rectangles and two lines to construct a table of three columns with a highlighted heading section.
    POSITION Command
    Syntax
    /: POSITION [XORIGIN] [YORIGIN] [WINDOW] [PAGE]
    Effect: Sets the origin for the coordinate system used by the XPOS and YPOS parameters of the BOX command. When a window is first started the POSITION value is set to refer to the upper left corner of the window (default setting).
    Parameters: If a parameter value does not have a leading sign, then its value is interpreted as an absolute value, in other words as a value which specifies an offset from the upper left corner of the output page. If a parameter value is specified with a leading sign, then the new value of the parameter is calculated relative to the old value. If one of the parameter specifications is missing, then no change is made to this parameter.
    1. XORIGIN, YORIGIN: Origin of the coordinate system.
    2. WINDOW: Sets the values for the left and upper edges to be the same of those of the current window (default setting).
    3. PAGE: Sets the values for the left and upper edges to be the same of those of the current output page (XORIGIN = 0 cm, YORIGIN = 0 cm).
    /: POSITION WINDOW
    Sets the origin for the coordinate system to the upper left corner of the window.
    /: POSITION XORIGIN 2 CM YORIGIN '2.5 CM'
    Sets the origin for the coordinate system to a point 2 cm from the left edge and 2.5 cm from the upper edge of the output page.
    /: POSITION XORIGIN '-1.5' CM YORIGIN -1 CM
    Shifts the origin for the coordinates 1.5 cm to the left and 1 cm up.
    SIZE Command
    Syntax
    /: SIZE [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [WINDOW] [PAGE]
    Effect: Sets the values of the WIDTH and HEIGHT parameters used in the BOX command. When a window is first started the SIZE value is set to the same values as the window itself (default setting).
    Parameters: If one of the parameter specifications is missing, then no change is made to the current value of this parameter. If a parameter value does not have a leading sign, then its value is interpreted as an absolute value. If a parameter value is specified with a leading sign, then the new value of the parameter is calculated relative to the old value.
    1. WIDTH, HEIGHT: Dimensions of the rectangle or line.
    2. WINDOW: Sets the values for the width and height to the values of the current window (default setting).
    3. PAGE: Sets the values for the width and height to the values of the current output page.
    /: SIZE WINDOW
    Sets WIDTH and HEIGHT to the current window dimensions.
    /: SIZE WIDTH '3.5' CM HEIGHT '7.6' CM
    Sets WIDTH to 3.5 cm and HEIGHT to 7.6 cm.
    /: POSITION WINDOW
    /: POSITION XORIGIN -20 TW YORIGIN -20 TW
    /: SIZE WIDTH +40 TW HEIGHT +40 TW
    /: BOX FRAME 10 TW
    A frame is added to the current window. The edges of the frame extend beyond the edges of the window itself, so as to avoid obscuring the leading and trailing text characters.
    Thanks & regards

  • Why has my monitor suddenly begun to have a moiré pattern all over – it is even showing up on my icons on the dock? It appears to be very thin bright green vertical lines. I have a 2008 iMac which is running 10.6.8. What does this mean?

    Why has my monitor suddenly begun to have a moiré pattern all over – it is even showing up on my icons on the dock? It appears to be very thin bright green vertical lines. I have a 2007 iMac which is running 10.6.8. What does this mean? I've attached some screen shots below.
    Also experiencing some funky issues with my wireless keyboard. With new batteries, it will just stop functioning. Certain keys intermittently won't work. Also the fans go on as soon as I turn the computer on - some times they stay on and sometimes they don't. Ever since upgrading the operating system - I've been having many issues with this iMac. Not happy. Any answers out there?

    Thanks for your reply LexSchellings, There is no disc in the drive and I went through the suggestions you put forward on the phone with Apple support without any luck. I can put a disc in but it pops straight back out again without registering on finder.
    The idea of using an external drive was to enable me to avoid the cost and loss of productivity whilst machine in repair... if I have to take it in to get the old drive removed than I might as well have a new internal drive put in, although I do worry about the reliability of these apple drives given my experience with this one coupled with my limited online research ... on line forums seem to be full of people with the same problem (although perhaps searching such forums is bound to make it seem a common problem as users with perfectly working machines are less likely to post (?)) Your reply suggests that no external drive will work whilst the existing drive is in place.
    As a postscript: I do realise that this is a user forum ...my secondary question was asking if anyone knows how to put forward a case/complaint to Apple... I can't find a link on the support page that would enable me to do so and I was wondering if anyone on this user forum had any ideas/experience..

  • IMac (late 2006) vertical line, flicker, funky

    After almost exactly three years of multiple-hours-a-day of good service, my late 2006 iMac 17" (2 Ghz/4 GB, 10.5.8) has started exhibiting a crazy, crazy display issue.
    There is a straight line, about one-inch thick, extending vertically down the left side. It flickers, but never goes away and is discolored/washed-out but still allows visibility. Photos attached.
    It's there right on boot-up, on multiple accounts and booting from install disk. It's obviously a hardware failure, correct?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Noah

    That happened to me and eventually the whole screen 'collapsed'. I used an external monitor for a while, which cluttered up my desk; eventually the iMac died completely and I've had to scrap it. I believe the term used is 'Shanghaied' because that is where these screens originated. My 'puter was younger than yours and unfortunately I didn't have insurance - also I live in a remote area so there was no recourse to repairs. Oh well, I've stuck with Mac although I was really disappointed.
    If you search google 'vertical lines on screen iMac' you'll be surprised how many people have been affected.

  • How to place a row of photos *equidistant* in a vertical line?

    I am finally working on whittling down the Navigation Bar at the top of the Site Menu.
    I have learned how to use the Inspector to make all of the photos on this "Table of Contents" page of equal size. (James, thanx for reminding me of the Metric Inspector.) For example, I got all of my thumbnail pix for this page to be 148 x 104 pixels. I de-seleted the "constrain" box to achieve the equality-of-pixel-number thing. No one will notice the lack of constraint.
    I also figured out how to get more guide lines to help in the placement of objects on a field, so it is easier to place them in the exact same line.
    THE QUESTION NOW IS:
    How do I space the photos equidistant apart from each other in a vertical line? Thus far I have four "boxes" -- thumbnails representing the group which yields yet more pages upon which to click. (Pages are listed to the right of the photo thumbnail boxes.) I have all those boxes the same size, everything. Perfect. Wow wow. Blue lines popping up to tell me when to stop. BUT I cannot figure out how to get the spacing between the photos in that vertical line to be the same. PLEASE SEND A LUNCH WAGON AND HELP ME OUT! Thank you.
    Lorna in Southern California

    Hi Lorna,
    You could probably get close enough by eyeballing it, but if you really want to be exact you can use the X,Y coordinates that appear when you click and drag an image. Also, take into account what your page width is....700 by default.
    The easy way without all the arithmetic? Here's what I do...(haha)... The middle image is always easy to get centered right...using the blue alignment guides. Then all you have to do is work on getting the two flanking images placed equidistant. It's probably easiest to start with the alignment guides on either side of the page. Just drag the image until it aligns with the side of the page. Then with the image still selected....use the arrow keys on your keyboard and move the image pixel by pixel toward the center image until the spacing between this image and the middle image look good to you. Keep track of how many times you hit the arrow key on your keyboard....could be 10, 20, 30 pixels...because you will want to punch the arrow key the exact same number of times for the image on the other side of the middle one! Let me know if my blind man's method of spacing things isn't clear. Haha....good luck!

  • Can someone help me with my 27" iMac's Gray screen with 5 Pink Vertical Line Problem?

    Hi there,
    I'm new to the forums, but I have a serious problem with my nearly 4 year old iMac 27" model.
    I was using my iMac one evening and then suddenly everything displayed on the screen gets immediately pushed to the left of the computer screen. Then after a minute, my screen turns a solid gray, displaying no dock, no header bar, no options, and the keyboard and mouse suddenly disconnect.
    When I turned back on my computer, it seemed to boot up perfectly normal. The normal gray start-up screen displays:
    Then it displays the Apple logo and begins to spin the loading circle icon below it. But this time it adds 5 vertical pink lines down the screen from left to right. They stay in place the entire time:
    And then when the login screen finishes loading, instead of bringing up my Account and my Password text box, it displays just a solid gray screen with the same 5 pink vertical lines on it, as shown below:
    I've let it set for a half hour and nothing changes. During this time the keyboard and mouse seem to be disconnected, nothing seems to work with the screen or the computer itself. I hold the on/off button on the rear, turning it off and then on again. The same process happens with the boot up, the Apple logo appears, then the spinning loading icon below it, and then the vertical bars appear and the Apple logo and spinning icon disappear.
    Is this a problem with the screen that an external monitor hooked up to it might fix, or is it a graphics card problem? I didn't buy the extended warranty package for the computer and it's roughly 3 1/2 years old.
    Any idea what might cause this and how it could be fixed in the cheapest way possible?

    I have the same problem since yesterday evening.
    My google research found this:
    iMac (27-inch): AMD Radeon 6970M Video Card Replacement Program - Apple Support
    Maybe this is our problem. My iMac fits into this category.

  • How can I remove vertical lines when printing from Aperture 3.2.2 to Epson Stylus Photo RX690?

    I have been generally quite happy with my access to and use of Aperture 3.2.2 (recently purchased) for import and manipulation of photos and movies, etc.I am using Aperture on a MacBook Pro OSX 10.6.8.
    However I have been unable to print high quality images on Epson premium glossy, glossy or matt paper on my Epson Stylus Photo RX690.
    High quality prints on screen show perfectly in preview, but all prints come out with good and accurate colours, but a series of vertical lines or bands of lines across the photo print.
    Using the Aperture Manual I have checked my settings in Aperture for the printer, for colour and quality of paper etc and they all seem to be correct.
    The Epson Printer is networked with a Toshiba (Vista) laptop which prints perfect results from Picasa and Photoshop with fine colour and no markings.
    I would appreciate any help please.

    Thank you Mark
    I thought I had done all the settings .....but no.
    I now have perfect prints. Easy when you know how!!!
    Cheers

  • IPhone went bad after software update - iPhone 5 is now stuck on Itunes connect and has vertical lines

    iPhone went bad after software update - iPhone 5 is now stuck on Itunes connect and has vertical lines.
    I found a video on youtube with similar issues - http://youtu.be/Xuuqxx18-bA
    EVERYTHING HAS BEEN TRIED: Restore, Reboot, Recycle, Replacing Cables, etc....
    I don't have Apple Care, what to do? Spend more money and buy a new phone?

    Here is another person who has a problem with the iPhone 5 screen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc1ZPWSA8dc and they have just received them NEW!!!!!
    I myself, two days ago purchased a  2nd hand iPhone 5 that was advertised as having a line of squares at the bottom of the screen. I Googled it and found people saying it was a screen issue and to replace the screen, so I did this and it is still happening with a new screen.
    I am starting to dislike Apple intensely after reading forum posts and watching videos where people are asking for help and telling us about issues that they are having with their phones.
    Why is Apple getting it so wrong with their updates and manufacturing that they are completely destroying iPhones that cost a lot of money and then expecting the owner to purchase another phone unless they are still in warranty.
    Apple you should be going out of your way to put things right for people but instead there is a wall of silence over so many of the issues destroying peoples phones.
    SHAME ON YOU!

  • Vertical lines appear in every photo taken w my 3 yr old Power Shot A470.Can't get rid of them.Help?

    in the midst of photo shoot yesterday, this vertical line pattern appeared in every photo and can't get rid of it. Triple checked all my settings, nothing's changed about how I take my photos. 
    Through the viewfinder when I prefocus I see the result of what my photo should look like after the shot, but after I take it, the shot is 50% lighter, with a horrible pattern of lines. Has my camera totally died? Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? I cannot take photos anymore with this all time favorite camera of mine

    First try a complete reset if possible, I can't see it being the memory card but if you have a spare one try that.
    One cause could be the sensor or the display itself, I've had faulty ribbon cables  going to the display on TV sets causing similar problems.
    I take it they are in the same place on every shot.  What does a good photo show  up like, i.e., one prior to this fault showing? This would point to the sensor or display, since the photo was taken previous to the fault it 'would' eliminate the sensor as this is only used when taking photos and not when 'viewing'.
    Pity you couldn't post a sample as it *may* help.

  • Slightly different vertical line issue

    Hey guys,
    I think I might be having the 'vertical line' problem. The screen suddenly goes to vertical lines and the computer is then unresponsive to inputs (actually there'd be no way to tell...), and the only solution being to restart it via the power button.
    The questions I have are:
    1). Is this the 'vertical line' problem
    2). Is it the video card at fault? (Certainly seems like it)
    3). Can the video card on these computers be replaced or is it an integrated unit?
    4). I gather that the Apple extended Repair offer on this model has expired (****), what do I have to do to get this repaired, or is it something I can do myself with the right parts?
    Thanks

    Excellent ideas, x! Our "IT" is one guy in another building across campus, and while he's extremely capable he's also overloaded and prefers to lock people from poking around their computers so he'll have fewer things to undo. I'll get on his list. Meantime, maybe I'll start my project over at home where I have Premiere Pro running flawlessly on an XP system I've tweaked to perfection, but what do I know? Thanks for the link. Now I can finally join the British Lard Marketing Board!

  • Small Black Vertical Lines follow my mouse pointer AND surround all ICONS

    Small Black Vertical Lines follow my mouse pointer AND surround all ICONS on my desktop. I just turned on my computer and it showed like this. I already tested my monitor and it's not the monitor.
    See a picture of my problem here on my me gallery:
    http://gallery.me.com/egarfias/100024
    Looking at websites, it's fine the display but any icons and my pointer and things that move have these lines following! Looking at VIDEO, it's the picture is full of white and black lines though you can see the video just fine.
    Any ideas? Thank you!!

    I am in Safe Mode now: This is the weirdest thing: A bit from column A AND B:
    The display is perfect EXCEPT for two parallel lines of 17, 3 millimeter-long black lines that follow the pointer everywhere it goes.
    Get this: my current display is 1024x768, but when I change it to 640x480, the pointer and everything is perfect! (of course, I can only see a fraction of my desktop)
    But then again... when I zoom in and out holding down control (in 640x480) the pointer lines appear again, but less lines. They disappear when I re-reset it to 640.
    Strange.
    But yeah, safe mode is NEAR perfect with the except of the cursor lines. I can screen grab my cursor though to show...
