Print on preprinted forms

Hi guys,
Here is my question. How can I print on a preprinted form? Either with a Adobe software or with any third party software. Something like capturing the form's fields and create a blank form, fill the fields out and put the preprinted form in the printer to print out the data entered. Hope I am clear.
Another question. I scanned a job application form and put fields. When I tried to print the form, it came out all black. Just to let you know, there is no problem problem with the printer, because I printed out other forms and they came out just fine, but only one form comes out black. I did not make any changes in the printer's settings.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Goerge,
Sorry for the delay. Here is a picture of the form I was talking about.

Actually the fields on the forms are all filled up, but nothing shows, only the check boxes. By the way, this is a print out. All other forms I print come just fine, only this one comes out this way.
Thanks for your help.

Printing on Preprinted form with EPSON LQ300 & EPSON LQ500 dot matrix print

Dear Expert,
im having requirement to print form on preprinted page whose size is 6*9 inches which is smaller than A4 size paper and using EPSON LQ300 & EPSON LQ500 dot mattrix printer. my question is that
1)do i need to create diff. o/p type for diff printer?
2) also do i need to create page format with 6*9 inches lenghth or what?
if is it so will this thing be created by BASIS person?

When it's continuous paper, the printer is not able to detect "pages", so it must rely on paper dimensions you transmit.
So, you must define new Z device type, Z format type and Z page format with these dimensions.
For this device type, you must assign the Z format type and define "printer initialization" action by indicating paper length (you may copy the actions of an existing continuous format type like INCH11, for the device type you use, and adapt it). For example, we find the following "printer initialization" action for EPESCP/INCH11:
# set page length to 11 inch (=66 lines at 6 LPI)
\e\0x43\0x42

Printing data on preprinted form

Post Author: Saras
CA Forum: General
Hi all,
I have a customer who would like to print their Payment Voucher, Remittance Advice and Computer Check on a preprinted form (So the form would have 3 sections of fixed size and position). The Payment Voucher & Remittance Advice has space for a limited number of records. Any overflow of records should print on the next page. I am using a subreport to come out with the Payment Voucher details. The Remittance Advice is in the body and the Computer Check is on the page footer.
The problem is trying to fix the position of the above 2 sections so that the computer check will print with the correct alignment everytime regardless of number fo records in the above 2 sections.
How do I do this?

You can try this.
Is there a way to limit how many records appear in each group?
For example, how do you limit a group to have only 3 records appear in the Details section, regardless of the number of records there are in the group?
Resolution
Use the following method:
1. Insert a section below on the Details section so that there is a Details A and Details B.
2. Create the following formulas:
@Formula1
WhilePrintingRecords;
NumberVar Number := 0;
@Formula2
WhilePrintingRecords;
NumberVar Number;
Number := Number + 1;
3. Place @Formula1 in the Group Header. Format the formula to Suppress.
4. Place @Formula2 in Details A. Format the SECTION (not the formula) to Suppress.
5. Format the Details B section to conditionally Suppress by selecting the X+2 button INSTEAD of the selecting the Suppress box. This launches the conditional formatting Formula Editor.
6. Enter this formula:
{@formula2} > 3
When you preview the report you will only see 3 records per group.

Printing text to form using Pages

I have a paper form that is 2.75 x 6 inches and I need to print information on it. The text would always be the same. How can I set this up. I have tried but no matter how I set it up the text prints in the middle of an 8.5 x 11 sheet not starting at the top edge where it should. Something is kaka coo coo.
The end result would be that the printer prints the text in the correct boxes on the preprinted form.
I have used acrobat to scan in the form and use the form itself to find the perfect location for the text I will be printing on the form. Can't seem to figure this all out, landscape, portrait, custom size paper, rotate, margins, etc......

The form is not 8.5 x 11. It's 2.75 x 6 and won't feed through the printer that way. It jams. If it were to go through like an envelope does it would work (the width being 2.75 and the length being 6. The form is a landscape setup like an envelope. I can send the envelope though the center of the printer by moving the guides in on both sides. Should the document be in landscape or portrait mode or should the text be rotated?

Vertical Ruler and Preprinted Forms

I am creating a Bill of Lading in CR2008 which must be printed on a preprinted form on a dot matrix printer.
There are boxes which have to have information in them. I can measure on the form from the top and left where the data needs to go, but when looking at Crystal, it is hard to tell how the vertical ruler works.
In the Report Header, I have a 1 showing, then there is another 1 in the Page Header, another 1 in the Details.
How can you accurately measure from the top edge of the page down using the vertical ruler? Am I making this too complicated?
Thanks,

Pretty much what he said. I just did an invoice and packlist on dot matrix printer with pre-printed forms. You have to determine whether the printer is doing 8 lpi or 6 lpi and 10, 12 or 15 cpi. Adjusting all of your sections to be a multiple of .125" or .167" will let you back in to the vertical positioning. Make sure you use a mono spaced font available on the printer (usually Courier New) and font size 8 for 15cpi, 10 for 12 cpi or 12 for 10 cpi. You can then figure your horizontal positions based on that.
It will take some tweaking after you layout your first pass.

How do I print a interactive form out? It allows printing and filling.

Hi, I'm trying to print out an interactive form that I filled out and then saved on my hard drive. The author allows printing and filling out of the PDF when it was created. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and have Adobe Reader XI (11.0.06) installed along with the current drivers for my compatible printer. Within the same PDF the first sheet "instruction sheed" is an all text flat form, which prints just fine. The problem lies when I try to print other sections of the PDF, When I try to print it all I get is the header and a footer that the author created, but all the spaces where questions/ text and my fill in answers don't show up on the print preview image or when the printed sheet comes out of my printer.
I have tried to print as an image without success. I don't think its an author issuse because it was released out of a California Department for several houndred/thousands of others. Please if you have any ideas or questions i look forward to any advice.

Sorry I forgot to add that the PDF is devided by a "Chapter" style cover face that devided multiple sets of forms in to categories. At the bottome of these categories is a "Print whole document" which can only be clicked once the whole thing has been filled out. Do to some information over lap some dates don't follow the (time line order) it requirest to fill in the data so two of the categories show up as incomplete. Take a look at the document yourself, maybe I NEED to rewrite the information and see if that works.
*Edit* Looks like I CAN print a blank form at the begining when it asked me if i want a blank form, will try to rearange dates so it will show as all COMPLET.

How to create a Printer List in Forms 4.5

How can I create a Printer list on Forms 4.5 to show all
available printers?
Thanks.
null

I fear there is no direct solution.
May be this is a work-around:
1. Apply the older built-in: Display_item. You can't disable the item with display_item, but you can change the visual attribute and show the user that this item should not be checked.
2. To be shure that the user doesn't ignore this "disable", you need a trigger, which resets the item to the proper value after an illegal change.

Printer selection in Forms 10g

Hello,
I am looking for a suggestion, to realize a printer selection in Forms 10g.
For a migration I have to replace the command
win_api_dialog.select_printer with something similar.
Some threads suggest to implement a java class.
Under
How i select printer in Forms9i
exist an example.
The implementation there is based on the JDK 1.4.
I need an implementation based on JDK 1.3.
Inside of the JDK 1.3 exist only a simple printer dialog.
(compare http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4645377 )
Probably exist the option to use the C-API of WebUtil. The C-API could be used to start a printer dialog of a dll. I like to avoid this option, but if you an example for that option, I appreciate to see an example for that.
In all other respects, I hope on your suggestions.

I invest some more time on that topic, but did not found a solution to display a printer selection on the client.
The only thing that i found in forum was that you can read the standard printer out the registry. But I would need all local installed printers.
I hope on your help.

I am trying to print a fillable form. It will not print and I get two error messages "document could not be printed" and "there were no pages selected to print." Th latter is not true. Won't print all, the page I am on, nor any series of pages inserted

I am trying to print a fillable form - - an application for a Chinese visa. It will not print and I get two error messages: "document could not be printed" and "there were no pages selected to print." The latter is not true. Won't print at all, the page I am on, nor any series of pages inserted.
Am using a MAC desktop and a Cannon PIXMA MX922 printer.
I need to print this form now that it is filled out? What can I do?

Hello PW, I am having this problem and all suggestions haven't worked yet. Where is the Preferences|Documents you are referring to? I am on a PC and using Windows.

Printing Reports directly from to a printer via 10g forms (Linux)

Hi all,
I need to be able to print Reports directly from a form to a printer (bypassing the form output) on Linux (RHEL 5). The trick here is this is Linux, not windows so, wasn't sure how to deal with printers in this case.
I have the option working where I can run a report and set the options to "Cache" and PDF and it displays my outputted report directly in a new browser window w.
I use the SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY, RUN_REPORT_OBJECT, and WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT properly for the PDF in a window.
a.) I want to send them directly to a printer, preferably to a user's default printer on their PC, bypassing the output screen. How can I accomplish this?
b.) I also would like the ability to generate a PDF (bypassing the output on a browser window) and put the form in a specified directory on a client's PC (which is what I used in 6i Client/Server). I believe I need to utilitize the WebUtil to allow this to happen. Otherwise, I'm thinking I just build a queue for the user on the Linux server and build a screen that shows all the reports they've generated for the past X amount of days and let them open them up and print from there.
Any help (particulary for Part A) would be very beneficial.
Chris

1)
if your app server is on a Linux server, for direct printing to work, the printer must be setup and accessible under Linux server using system-config-printer command, for PDF printout you probably want a postscript option checked
if you print to screen (PDF) and then use print option then your windows client machine must have access to the printer
2)
you must pass this printer name as part of the report parameters.
set_report_object_property(oRptObj, report_destype, Printer);
and
hidden_action := hidden_action ||'&report='|| cRptSrcFile; -- source of report program to call
hidden_action := hidden_action ||'&destype='|| cDesType;
hope this helps

Hi
Check if Note 353518 - Selection of outputs takes much time and Note 910976 - Selection of output from billing (VF31) are relevants.
Other suggestion. Do a trace with ST05 and check if you have any bottleneck in the coding that you can have in your Smartform or in your SAPscript, so check in tcode V/40 what form you are using . Also see Note 185530 - Performance: Customer developments in SD.
I hope this helps you

How to print " Duplicate " in FORM ( either Sap Script or Smart Forms )

hi,
How to print " Duplicate " in FORM ( either Sap Script or Smart Forms ) if trying to take second Print Out and the FORM is already Printed.
Please let me know the condition that we should go for.If possible let me know the SAMPLE code since this will be used in most of the FORMS.

Hi
It depends on which print you're working.
If it's a print of standard document you can check the NAST (VSTAT field) table in order to know if the document was printed.
If a message is created you can find the hit in NAST table:
VSTAT = 0, document not printed;
VSTAT = 1, documment printed
VSTAT = 2, print is failed
If you mean a custom print I believe you need to create a log like NAST table.
