Print Information on Banner Page - Documaker 12.1

Hello,
Below is my scenario.
Environment/Setup
We are using Documaker Studio 12.1 and WIPEdit Plug to let our users interact with the Forms. The upstream application passes an XML with the required data to be printed on the Form. During the day time, the Users processes transactions and the transactions are processed via batch (batch by page count) overnight.
Issue
We are trying to come up with the best possible way to do the following.
>> While Batch Processing, if the total number of pages in the transaction is between 10 and 20, we should pull a cover page.
>> On the coverage page, the recipient details should be populated (which is part of the transaction XML).
Appreciate any suggestions.
Thank You.

Two options come to mind, although one may be better than the other depending upon how much information you are talking about.
If the recipient details you refer to is not already mapped onto your forms somewhere, you could add a hidden section that would have fields that do map that data. That way the information is there for you to draw from using DAL to populate your banner/cover page just prior to print. Making a hidden section is easy enough: Just create one with all the relevant field mappings and then add it to the primary form and check the "hidden" box in the attributes. You could actually make a separate form that is triggered and hidden if you would rather not add a hidden section to an existing form.
By mapping this data into fields - hidden or not - DAL can be used to reference these fields and transfer the content to the cover page in the banner function. Also, doing this hidden method will mean the content is available even if the transaction is kicked to WIP and later resubmitted for completion in batch. The user won't see the hidden content and it will be returned with the document after the session completes.
The other method you might use is if you are primarily limiting the situation to just batch and there are not a lot of fields associated with this recipient detail. In this case, you could add the necessary fields to your RCBDFDFL.DFD and simply map the content to the batch records. Then the print operation can be made to pull the information (using DAL again) from the GVMs that are made available from the batch record.

Alv List print printer information in 1st page

Hi,
At the time of alv list printing the following information is printed on 1st page. How to avoid this information when printing.
INITSTRING
Start r_3-Prolog
Drucker : Wipro EX-330+DX
System : RAP (reprdfo)
User : 11BO
End r_3-Prolog
Thanks in advance.

Hi GoldMoon,
(edit) Print another basic ABAP list (print anything else) on the same printer to see if that first page is printed. If yes, it's probably either SAP, OS, or Print Server cover page. They are explained in "cover page" SDN wiki, there are explanations how the cover page can be output (and so you can deduce how to remove it).
Best regards,

Hi Michael,
Sorry I did not explain this better. The URL that I gave is a your local CUPS page, and you can administer settings for all of your printers from that page. You need to be on the machine that has the printer attached in order to administer it. I am not sure if this suggestion will help, but it's worth a try.

Help with Printer Banner Pages

Hi there,
When printing from SAP, after each document that is printed out, an extra 'banner page' prints out. (I am not certain what the actual name for this is). The information on the banner page (or separator page) contains the ouput job number, the SAP server the document was printed from, and so on. This extra page is causing a lot of paper waste, as an extra page prints off with each document (for example, Bill of Lading or Picklist) that is printed out.
What is this called and how do you turn this option OFF? Solution is urgent!! Please assit.
We have searched in transaction SPAD, and have not found the answer yet.
Thanks, T.

Setup banner page for printing

Hello,
I am working with AS team to migrate OAS printing from Samba to LPD based printing using standard windows print queues. However our initial testing no banner page printing on LPD. The banner page prints with Samba. I am just wondering if banner page is part of OA or Samba?
TIA!

....I was told I could connect my printer to so we can print from our iPad, iPhones and iPods.
Unfortunately, the information that you received is not correct.
In order to print from iOS devices, you need to have an AirPrint compatible printer. Your Samsung model is not on the list of AirPrint compatible devices. See this Apple support document for more details:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
Adding or ssing an AirPort Express will not make your printer AirPrint compatible
As a possible workaround, Installing an App like Print Central on each of your iOS devices might allow you to print from the iOS devices to the printer.

Banner page on windows print server messes up cifs printing

Hey;
We're a small Mac population in a HUGE corporate environment. We're using Mac OSX 10.5 and Admit Mac to bind to AD. We set up printers through AD to print through windows print servers which works beautifully- unless the Print Server is set to produce a banner page with each print- then we get the banner page, a page of garbage and 20 blank pages. I can't request banner page be turned off for all printers we need access to. Has anyone experienced this? Found a work around? Know of a way to stop the banner page for Mac only prints?
We're setting the printer up with this command (for example): lpadmin -p printername -E -v smb://printserver.ou.domain.net/printername -P /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/HP\ Color\ LaserJet\ 5550.gz
I notice in the ipadmin man page there are commands for banner pages-
-o job-sheets-default=banner
-o job-sheets-default=banner,banner
Sets the default banner page(s) to use for print jobs.
Is there a setting to not print banner pages on the client side?

I am not sure if these links will help, but there is a problem with the lp command in Leopard:

Can I use SetFld during GenPrint for banner page fields?

I have a banner page form that has multiple variable fields on it to display information specific to the batch it's being included with (for out post-composition handling area). I currently set those fields' values by assigning variables of the same name (as the fields) within a DAL script called as my BachBannerBeginScript for that batch. The fields on the Banner page form/section have a rule of NOOPFUNC, so without that assign process happening during the DAL script, they inherently hold no value. This has worked fine so far.
Now I have a new banner page for a different process/batch, and it's purpose will be to be a "summary report" of sorts, detailing on the banner page high-level information about each document within that batch. I take information from the batch file (bch), read in an additional external file and aggregate the data in GVMs (to form an array, basically) during the BatchBannerBeginScript. The problem I now have is that I have a variable-sized array (based on the document-count within my batch file), yet my understanding is that I can't use functions available to me in GenData, so I have to basically pre-define as many instances of the section (if I do a report line per section) or field (if I do one section with all instances of the field on it) as I think are possible (max-case scenario, basically).
However, after I have my Section/Fields defined, I still need to use DAL scripting to populate those fields. I tried to use SetFld to populate them, but the values don't show up in my output, leading me to believe that function/rule doesn't work in GenPrint. Is there a better way to set all those fields than to explicitly assign each instance of a field? I'd rather have a short While loop that takes a GVM's instance and assigns it to a variable field name than have hundreds of assign statements where I explicitly assign each possible field.
Thanks,
Gregg

Aha. So you have an existing script that is executing somewhere to assign some other field during print. Depending upon what and when this script runs, you may be trying to set your banner fields too late. You see, as a default the banner page is temporary. Generally it is created, printed, then destroyed all before the first real page of your transaction prints. If you are not using the TransBannerBeginScript INI option as mentioned earlier, you might try to use that method to run your script which should be while the banner page is still alive.
There is another way that you could try to run your script on the given page using what is called a "print time" or "macro" field. This would involve creating one more field on your banner section and name it like this:
~DALRUN MyScript.DAL
Yes, you can name your script something other than MyScript.DAL. The key is the ~DALRUN at the start, which will be interpreted at print time to mean that you want to run the DAL script and return a value. Now, of course you don't need a real value for this field, but there's nothing to stop the script from assigning data into the other fields at that time.
You do have to make sure that this field is the first in sequence on the section. Otherwise, some of your fields may print before it gets to the point to evaluate this "print time" request.
To make sure this is the first field in sequence will differ depending upon whether you are using DMStudio or the older Image Editor. Since you mentioned 11.5, you could use either. In DMStudio, simply click on the "Objects" tab when the section is open and then click on the field to highlight it in the tree. Then use the button bar just above there to move the field to the top of the list.

Banner page in Crystal Report

I have a question: how add banner page for report? I have to send information to the printer who is printing the report.
Thx

are you talking about sending control codes to the printer, or a true banner page ? IF a banner page, then insert an additional page header, put your banner page in the top page header, and set it so it only prints when the page count = 1.

Separator or Banner Page

Hi All,
I am building a report to send a letter to all in progress grants some grantees have only one grant others have multiple grants. The report (letter) is a 2 page repeating frame. I want to insert a separation page between the letters for each grantee preferable from a specified tray so I can used color paper. I have tried a break group with the grantee column but it still prints the Grantee on each page. I want the page conditional so it is only there when the report changes from one grantee to another.
Thanks much

Hi Christian,
After going through each scenario you described to try and pinpoint the root of the mysterious banner sheets you were right that an extra page was added by the network printing installation. After exhausting the SAP steps, I found that this issue was indeed tied directly to the printer. However, after the banner page only followed the page when output was printed from SAP and not locally from Word, Excel, etc., I learned how to view the TCP/IP printers network settings by typing in the printers IP address in my windows internet explorer.
When connecting to the printers IP address: on internet explorer, I was able to see the printers configuration settings. By clicking on the configuration link on the left menu and selecting the Networking Tab, at the bottom of the screen there is an option for LPD Banner Page. The current setting for this option was enable. After investigating further, I found information that for the new HP printers (our type was HPLJ4200), the LPD option is set to enable by default. Therefore, this option needs to be manually disabled after the printer is set up. This is good for anyone to keep in mind in case you have new HP printers set up on your network.
Information I found stated that LPD stands for Line Printer Daemon protocol/Line Printer Remote protocol (or LPD, LPR) which is a set of programs that provide printer spooling and network print server functionality for Unix-like systems. A printer that supports LPD/LPR is sometimes referred to as a "TCP/IP printer" (TCP/IP is used to establish connections between printers and workstations on a network). A computer that implements the LPD service and thus can process print requested from LPR clients.
Thanks for your help!

Print total in last page,

Hello Everyone
In PLD i have a requirement whereby if the layout goes into more than a page says 2 pages,then the total should display "Continued in next page" in the 1st page and in the last page(in our case 2nd page) total should print the document total in the same area. How can this be done? How to achieve this if...then...else statement in PLD
if CurrentPage()!=TotalPages()
then "Continued in Next page"
else Doctotal
Thanks and Regards

Dear Raghu,
If you would like to print certain fields on the last page only,
'TotalPages()' cannot be used in formula, therefore, please follow the
Workaround below.
As a Workaround create the following field:
   Field_Formula
   General Tab
   Untick visible
   Left = 0 / Width = 0 / Top = 0 / Height = 0
   Content Tab
   Source Type: Formula
   SystemString(ContinueNextPageNotice) ==''
And enter the ID of this field as the "Link to" for the Fields you
like to print on the last page only.
For more information please refer to the NOTE 1058584.
Hope this helps.

Print information from a row - Report Builder 3.0 - printer button option?

Does Report Builder have any way of printing information from a row selection onto a page, rather than the whole report? I don't think it has a print button option when you create the report?

Hi KittyCat101,
According to your description, you want to select some particular rows when printing the report. Just as you said, there is no such feature in Reporting Services.
To work around this issue, we can create a parameter with the key field value in the report. Then we can print the particular rows based on the selection in the parameter. For more details, please see:
Create a multiple parameter named filter in the report.
Specify Available Values and Default Values from the dataset key field which is acted as filter when printing the report.
Add a filter as below in the tablix:
Expression: [Key field]
Operator: In
Value: [@filter]
When we render the report in report builder, it displays all data. While we can select the particular rows in the drop-down list when we want to print the report.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

How can I print more than one page of an internet site?

When I try to print pages from internet sites (Facebook, Merchant Circle, Linked In, NBC.com, etc.), Firefox will only print the first page.
In order to print more information, it is necessary to reduce the scale of the print so more of the information will print on the first page.
How can I print out more than just one page of a website without having to make the print so small that I cannot read it when it prints?

Firefox has problems with some style rules.
First, it's always helpful to use any print-formatted or print-optimized version of the page. Sometimes there is a link for this.
Second, in some cases you need to use this trick: press Ctrl+a to select all content on the page, then Ctrl+p to display the print dialog, and click the radio button next to Selection.
Those tricks don't always work, but hopefully they will help.

How can I print contiguous rows on a Numbers spreadsheet without having to print the whole spreadsheet page?

I frequently have a need to print a portion of a spreadsheet for a presentation, but find that I have to print the whole spreadsheet page to obtain the information I want. When I was using Microsoft Excel I could highlight a section of a spreadsheet and print only the highlighted rows. Is there some way that I can do this in Numbers? Help will be appreciated.

Numbers differs significantly from Excel in the print paradigm. If you enable Print View using the menu item "View > Show Print View", you will see exactly how each page will print.
A Numbers document contains Sheet.
Sheets contains a canvas, on which you place tables, graphics, text, and media. The canvas is continuous and is divided into pages at print time.
If you want to print just a portion of a table, select the area, copy, the open the Application Preview, select the menu item "File > New From Clipboard"
Then print

Set document to be seen one page at a time but print four to a page?

I would like to create a pdf (from a PowerPoint presentation) so that when it is viewed on the web it is seen one page at a time but when it is printed it prints four to a page. It is possible to put that in pdf document settings or do I have to rely on users to make the four to a page choice themselves when they print?

File > Properties > Initial View
You can set the initial view
From the Advanced tab in the Properties you can set some Printing Defaults, but in AA9 Pro, I do not see Tiling as an option. (I believe the powers that be at Adobe thought it best to re-name this feature Banner in AA10. Perhaps it's Poster, I've only seen screen shots of AA10 Print dialog. They've sucessfully dumbed it all down in keeping with Microsoft's current philosophies. Increase font size should soon enough be replaced with "Grow Font")

Why can't I print more than one page?

I'm pring a lafge text:
<af:inputText id="it1" value="#{main_bean.resp}" readOnly="true"
simple="true" rows="#{main_bean.kvitRows}" styleClass="AFStretchWidth"
visible="true"/>
That is I use one af:inputText with many rows.
To send it for pring I use JavaScript.
<af:resource type="javascript" >
function printPage(evt){
window.print();
evt.cancel();
window.close();
</af:resource>
When printing it clips the text. If the text is more than one page it print only one page. I need to continue printing on the next pages (not to clip). When printing othe web-pages it distributes it onto several paper pages.

You may perfectly "their typed information and move it around" in Numbers which behave as the AppleWorks Draw environment.
Here is the second page in the document which I posted before.
As you may see, the standard Word Processor features are at work:

I exported my AppleWorks documents in Numbers ones.
And of course, with the Numbers document open, you may copy pieces of it and paste them in Pages's pages.
