Print Preview of smartform  with device type EPESCP9

Hi all,
I have created a z smartform to print commercial invoice.
I am using dot matrix print Epson FX-2170 to print invoice.
For this printer the device type is EPESCP9.
So I created an output device having device type EPESCP9.
I have assigned the required Format type to the device type and the page format which is assigned in the smarform to the Format type.
But I am not getting any print preview of the invoice when  I select this output device.
I am only able to get print preview when I select an ouput device having device type SAPWIN.
Please provide solution to get preview in device type EPESCP9.

Hi,
1.I think You are assigned the Printer details in SPAD.
  2.The page format and Printer settings are correctly done ,then it will come.But,the main problem is ,the page format is not supposed to match.Please check that page format in smrtform and Printer settings.
3.If posible see those settings in I18n also.

Shiva.

    I am facing issue while I am taking print from zebra printer.
    I am trying to take a print from MB90 but its not coming but its giving status 'processed' and same from the spool, in spool its showing status complete but not giving any printout.
    if I m attaching  my smartform with another output type which already working for another label(smartform), then its giving print.
    So, what I want to know..
    Its can be a problem with output type config or from basis side.
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Sandeep

  • Output Device with Device Type SWINCF not send to printer

    Hi,
    We're on SAP R/3 (version 4.7 w/ supporting unicode). In order to display Vietnamese Characters in smartforms, we implement SAP note 812821 to get new device type SWINCF. Everything works find on print preview but when print out form the output is crap. we can not see anything out except unreadable characters.
    More information:
    - Host Spool Access Method: U (Print using Berkeley Protocol) there is no access method G
    - Host printer:                "(it is not __DEFAULT)
    Please anyone has got this issue help us.
    Thanks so much.

    I guess changing access method to your network printer may solve the print issue, but it may give you some alignement issues. Any how before you try changing access method, goto spool and do analysis on form change in Raw format. Steps given below.
    1) go to transaction code SP02
    2) Identify the spool request that is printing vietnamese characters.from menu, goto>display request> settings
    3) change the display mode from graphical to raw, enter
    4) display the output of the spool, now you will see raw format of your output.. now try to identify, what font family is it using during print of vietnamese characters, Note: in raw format FC --> Font change.
    5) Make sure the font family that is printing vietnamese characters hold all vietnamese characters.

  • Crystal Report Print Preview presenting users with Database Login

    Issue
    A user amended a crystal report form, on doing so has now made that Form unavailable to the majority of users to Print or Preview this is in 8.8 PL10. All other users on Previewing are presented with a window  Database Login, but this only presents the server name, Database name is blank and greyed out and then there is only Login ID and Password available. If you enter in the database password a message appears stating failed login.
    We have access to the SAP server and logged in and get the same message! but on the users machine who amended the Form they can print? any suggestions greatly appreciated

    Hi Roger,
    The problem sounds similar to what I've had recently, it was resolved by changing the database connection type to SAP Business One in Crystal Reports 2008, I can confirm that using OLE DB or other will still cause the login issue on other machines off the SQL server, the SAP Business one connection solves the issue.
    I was fighting with this for hours, hope this helps you all.

  • Updation of table after Print and Print-Preview in smartform

    Hi,
    I am having a requirement where i need to print multiple deliveries with the sales order data each delivery on a new page using smartform.
    Now , i am using SSF_OPEN, SSF_CLOSE Fm's for the same. I need to update a Z table after the user clicks on PRINT from the pop-up or print from the print preview screen.
    I tried using the output_info parameter in the smartform where i read from a post that the OUTPUTDONE parameter becomes "X" in the job_output_info when the user clicks print wither in the two ways said before.
    This does not work out in case if the FM'S SSF_OPEN and SSF_CLOSE are used.
    Kindly help me on the same.
    Thanks in advance

    yes i tried that..using the AT new event for a Delivery and then a command to go to the NEW PAGE, but somehow when i execuet the form, i could not see the layout..so in the debug i saw the subrc after the FM is run..it says SUBRC = 2 i.e. internal error. I am not able to figure that out.
    So i had to use these open and close, nowi just want to update a z table if the user clicks on the print button (print preview screen) after using the print preview .
    Kindly suggest.
    Thanks.

    Follow below Steps:
    1) Double Check your program and smartform names where you are attached in nace  transaction.
    2)check your templates and tables having formatting issues.
    3)Finally create dummy of your smartform. then delete one by one window in smartform check it and trace out in which window error is existing.

  • Initial Print jobs 'communication error with device'. Pause and restart job

    So, I have an odd variant of the Leopard print problem; on 3 separate systems.
    When I print to an HP Photosmart C7180, which setup fine, which I can scan to fine, the print job throws an error :error communicating with device, switch on and off' and so forth. It does that from any app, and consistently. I am printing via bonjour, the printer is networked, but on a static IP.
    To fix this EVERY-TIME I PAUSE printer, then start printer again. It immediately starts working, consistently until I sleep, log out, or don't print for a while.
    This seems to be some timeout issue or such. I tried IP printing, but no difference.
    Resetting the print system also did not help.
    It's not catastrophic but sooo annoying. Any input appreciated!
    Thx,
    Dan

    Hello SunnygirlQ. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, the AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers.
    To see if your printer is compatible, take a look at this iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility link.
    If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
    Also you can try this Apple Tech Support article to see if it will help:
    o Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express
    I assume that this printer works just fine when it is connected directly to your Mac ... correct? If so, has it worked when connected to the AX in the past ... or has it always had this problem? If it did work correctly before, did you do any updates, especially to the AX, recently?

  • Print preview not opening with File Print command in CS4

    I have been printing fine until recently, but now when I choose file > print in Photoshop the print preview pane does not open. The menus gray out, but that's it. If I select print from other programs (I checked Preview and Acrobat) the print dialog appears. I am working with CS4 11.0.2. on OSX version 10.6.8, printing with an Epson 2200. I tried deleting and re-adding the printer. I haven't installed anything new recently that might interfere.
    Your help would be much appreciated!

    Try a different printer driver to see if this has anythign to do with the .ppd used by epson 2200, try even adoeb pdf.
    Reset your preferences.

  • Problem in print preview of smartform

    hi all,
    when i transport my smartform from dev system to production system. In the print preview , the numeric values are getting reduced to *.
    i.e *99 where as the correct value wa 267542399.
    where as the print priview of the same smartform on dev is working fine.
    kindly let me knw how to solve this problem.
    expecting your answer!!
    rgds

    Hi,
    You need to take the long field than the current field, in the DEV system the length is sufficient for the value but in the Test system the value is coming more then the Field length, so take the same length of that field so that that will work in every system

  • Print Preview of PO with message status as "Processed"

    Hello,
    I need to make available the print preview of Purchase Order even when the Processing status of output is "Processed".
    Normally the print preview works when the status is "Processing" or when there are still print relevent changes existing in PO. When the message is output by ME9F, there are no more print relevent canges and SAP does not allow preview option in PO. I want to make this functionality available.
    Any solution?
    CMV

    Hi!
    You can check the table NAST (field VSTAT) for the statuses.
    Application 'EF' for PO.
    Objkey is the PO number.

  • Print Preview is different with actual Print

    When I try to print a PO, the Print Preview is correct, but the actual Print is not as same as the Preview, because the Item Description row is truncated. The strange thing is that it was not truncated in the Print Preview.
    Any body has an idea?

    Hi Victor,
    There are settings in the Document Properties for each layout in PLD that can have an affect on how the layout is displayed in print preview.
    1) Open your layout in PLD
    2) Right-click on the layout and choose Display Document Properties
    3) In the Document Properties window, choose the Format tab
    The Preview Printing section changes settings when you preview the layout rather than sending directly to the printer. Try turning that option off for the document or changing the Change Size setting.
    Kind Regards,
    Owen

    Check the number of pages it is showing. I think you have selected the SAP Cover Page option and it is shoing an extra page at the start.
