Printer configuration-formatting

Hi,
i'm trying to format the output of the EPSON LQ-870 dot matrix printer to print the output in th paper size height 280 mm & width 210 mm.For the first page the header is coming correctly.Burt for the second page the header is coming little down from the required place.This page size is little bit less than the normal A4 size.I'm thinking that is the reason for the misplacement of header in second page.How to rectify this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Are you refering to printing in SAPSCRIPT? If this is the case, check the standard atttributes under the "page window"s for the second page and so on. If the header must be in the same position as the first page, make sure the atttributes are the same. The margins and sizes can be different in each page window for each page in the form, throwing off the position of the header.
Hope this helps.
Warren.

Printer configurations

Hi,
When i print a document with WORD, WORD extract printer parameters form printer control panel of my Windows XP. Concretely Word catches number of copies (3) and the interleaved (checkbox is on) of the printer control panel of my Windows XP.
When i print a form, SAP creates a SPOOL order and print BUT SAP don't catches parameters from printer control panel of my windows xp. Why?
I want that SAP read my default print parameters form my system.
A lot of thanks in advance.

How to avoid print configuration screen

Hi everybody,
I'm executing a program which has to print two smartforms, one followed by the other, but I don't want the printing configuration screen before printing each one, I want it only to appear in the first one and then inherit printing parameters in the next smartform and avoid the screen.
How can I do this? I think that is by using output_options parameter but I don't know exactly how.
Many thanks,
Cristina.

hi,
I understand that you have your own program that triggers both Smartforms, one after the other, right?
Try this:
In your program trigger the first smartform (and have the print config screen popup)
WITHIN that smartform you trigger the second Smartform and suppress the the config screen.
Since the output options are know at this point you can pass them to the second smartform.
I hope it helps,

Issue needs to be addressed with Oracle Reports Developer. XFR->TOOLSREP
23-MAY-02 01:06:04 GMT
New info : Hi Oracle Support,
I found that the ORARRP works fine and submits report to the Printer if the
printer is defined through Novell Netware Network.
But if the same printer is defined through I.P address directly as a local
Printer it doesn't work. ( Add new port , Standard TCP/IP port method in
Windows 2000).
Does it give us any clue to solve this issue ?.
Pls. Help.

Hi,
My understanding is that you where trying to print using ORARRP utility on the web
Since you are trying on an muti-tiered server(that is web is 3-tier)
by default this report will be printed out to the default printer assigned to
the application server machine , NOT to the client machines default
printer.
For example,
Machine 1 - the application server machine
Machine 2 - the client machine
Machine 2 submits a request to run a report to the multi-tier server with
DESTYPE set to PRINTER; DESNAME is left blank.
Printing will be on the default printer of Machine 1(Application server)
and not on Machine 2(Client PC)
If I am wrong inmy understanding, please eloborate

New info : A Big No. We are running the 10.7 version of Oracle applications and
there is no middle tier per se.
All we have done is to define a new printer called "LOCAL_PRINTER" and when
users select this printer the initiaization string which the Print command
sends to the printer before sending the file gets added to the output file and
the output file is stored in a directory which is accessible through a web
server.
Users invoke the browser and point to the website where the output files are
avaiable. and then click on their request ids. Since the extension of the file
is .rrpt the ORARRP utility brings the Printer dialog where we have select the
printer.
This setup was working sucessfully till so far. ( Past 1 year).
Now it suddenly didn't work for a user's printer which was connected to her PC.
Since I had windows 2000 on my laptop and I tried the same and found that the I
select a PC which is defined through I.P Address then it is not working. But
if I select the same printer defined through Novell Netware it is working.
Please let me know if you are getting the picture. if not may be we can do a
webex session or something like that.

Hi Radhakrishnan,
ORARRP doesn't actually do any printing itself. Via COM/Active-X, it calls the appropriate program that corresponds to the type of output, and then this program does the actual printing. For PDF, it calls Acrobat Reader to print the document. Acrobat Reader displays the printer dialog to let you choose which printer to use, and then when you click OK, Acrobat Reader prints the document and sends it to the printer.
I expect that you'll find that when you use Acrobat Reader yourself on this machine it has exactly the same problems with this particular printer configuration. If so, you'll need to contact Adobe for further assistance.

How to print a formatted page in java?

hi all
i've made my simple application that writes and retrieves information to/from a database, and organizes them in reports
now, i got to print these reports in formatted pages like, for example:
title centered and bold
first db record
second db record
eccc
i followed the http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/2D/forDevelopers/sdk12print.html documentation and wrote this class
import java.awt.print.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.text.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
import java.awt.font.*;
public class print implements Printable
//the "\n" token doesn't allow me to do a new line, as i want!!
    String mText="The JavaTM Print Service \n is a new Java Print API that allows printing on all Java platforms, including platforms requiring a small footprint, such as a J2ME profile, but still supports the current Java 2 Print API. Thie Java Print Service API includes an extensible print attribute set based on the standard attributes specified in the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) 1.1 from the IETF. With the attributes, client and server applications can discover and select printers that have the capabilities specified by the attributes. In addition to the included StreamPrintService, which allows applications to transcode data to different formats, a third party can dynamically install their own print services through the Service Provider Interface ";

            pen.y+=layout.getDescent()+layout.getLeading();
        return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
}this works, and is great the dialog to choose the paper orientation and the printer, but i'm still not able to do the simplest things: like
- change the font of my text (as you can see in the print() method)
- do a new line in my text (as you can see in the beginning of the code)
so, now that i'm able to print some text, i'd like to be able to change the format of my printable page
any advice?
i didn't find any tutorial really complete! anyone can suggest me any?
thanx a lot in advance
sandro

I'm not sure if you still need this, but try \n\r instead of simply \n.
\n is a new line, but \r signifies the carriage return, back to the left. I'm not sure if it's always necessary, but it was in my case.

Unable to Align the fields according to the Pre-Printed Cheque format

Hi,
I am having a requirement where I need to align the report output according to the Pr-printed Chekc Format which is loaded in the printer.
In detail we have a pre-printed format of the cheque which will be loaded into the printer which includes the logo and the amount fields with the symbol of currency,date etc.
I need to print the output which is runned by formating the payment batch.I am getting the output printed but not in the exact palces where I need.I tried to modify the report fields by increasing the length and width of the main section but of no use.Can any one help me out at the earliest.
I am getting the output either out of the symbol of currency and even the date as well.
Thanks for your help in advance.
With Regards,
Sunil.

Can you explain briefly the below point which you have mentioned.
"Also set the increase the size of fields upon the size of pre-printed area and set the horizontal Elasticity to FIXED. Then align and print."I meant that increase the size of fields according to the size of pre-printed document and set the horizontal elasticity to FIXED so it will not go out from the desired space.
Well, this is what i said you will have to set the alignment and will have to check by printing again. There is no specified format of pre-printed document type reports.

How can I print File Format definitions?

We have multiple text and spreadsheet input files we use to load data to our DW. Is there a way I can print the format definitions for the the text and spreadsheet files?
I've used the Auto documentation feature for work flows and data flows, but don't see an option for the print the File Formats (very well could be user error!).
Thanks for any insight...
Dan

You can view the file format in the Auto Documentation page but don't see a button to print it out. Is this what you are looking for? ...
May print the web page in browser

Is there any best practice for printer configuration for test environment?

My Oracle ebs test environment has a scheduled refresh period where it will be refreshed with production test data and configuration time to time for BA, Dev to work on their enhancement.
However, all the printer configurations are still pointing to production ones after refreshed, which means whenever there is a testing on-going, the doc / label / invoices will be printed to production printer.
May I know if there is a way to globally change all the printer setup for the test environment, so that nothing will be directly to production?... Please assist.
(currently, the only way is to change one by one and only if you are aware of it...)
In case your organization has any other strategy on this matter, pls share also... Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot.If you do not want to use same printers then you have to it to point to the (TEST/BA Printers) after you are done with Rapid Clone. Any new printers need to be added manually (just the same way you defined you PROD printers) -- Rapid Clone Documentation Resources For Release 11i and 12 [ID 799735.1]
If you want to edit the configuration, you could use FNDLOAD to download printers definition from the source instance, update the ldt file and use FNDLOAD to upload printers definitions.

Can we configure Format Mapping in ELM!!!!

Hi CRM Experts,
1)Can any one tell me, can we configure format mapping In ELM?
2)What are Coupan code and Campaign Element ID in Lead whle uploading the file through ELM?
Thanks in Advance
Sree

Hi Sree,
The format mapping is well defined and all the fields that you require are available for use in the transaction code CRMD_MKTPL_MAP.
You also have BADI for enhancements CRM_MKTLIST_CUSTOMER
Campaign element ID is the field for entering the campaign due to which you have been able to track the lead. For example if your company has run a road show and during that you get some visiting cards from people interested in the product then they become lead in your system and the campaign is the reference from which you got them so that road show's id will be maintained in the campaign Id field

Print Configuration Dialog Box

In general use a property node with nothing attached to it in LabVIEW with the property Printing >> Default Printer or Printing >> Avalaible Printers to return the printers configured with Windows. One of these string items can be wired into the printer input of the report generation Print Report VI to select a printer.
In regards to the Microsoft Common Dialog 6.0 ActiveX controls, the printer selection from the dialog seems to be determined by the hDC output, which stands for hardware device context. If you modify the demo posted above to send in the appropriate flag value, either an informational or a direct hardware device context handle is returned in the ICommon property hDC. Input the flag value 512 to the ICommonDialog property Flags to return an hardware device context handle from the hDC property, or 1024 to return an informational device context.
More information about how to extract any meaningful information from this I32 number can doubtlessly be found at msdn.com, but I'm not sure personally how to do it. Specifically, here are a few posts to start your search at:

Common DialogControl Constants

Alternatively, consider avoiding the Common Dialog Control calling a dll that will directly return the selected printer name from a dialog:

Print out Format Modification for Orders & Notifications

Dear All,
I need to create new Print out format for Order & Notification.
Can any body suggest what will be the necesary config settings need to be done after creation of new Print out form & how i can achieve it?
Regards
Dhiren

Dhiren,
After creating a new form,please follow the below steps..
1) Use transaction OIDF to create a New shop paper by copying a existing shop paper (Which suits your needs). Replace the SAP Script form with your new form and try to keep the same standard program. 2) Use transaction OIDG to assign the shop paper to order type.
Use transaction OIDA and OIDB to do the same two steps for the Notification.

UML Class diagrams: Printing and formatting

I really like the UML capabilities of NetBeans 5.5. In particular, I like the ability to create a "centered" dependency class diagram by right-clicking on a class and selecting "Generate Dependency Diagram."
However, I am having trouble with some basic printing and formatting issues. I am hoping that I'm just being stupid, but I haven't been able to find documentation on how to fix this. I am using Red Hat Enterprise (3.4.6-3).
I recently reverse engineered an 800 class project, and it didn't take too long. Less than a minute, probably.
1. Can't get a landscape printout. Fiddle with Page Setup and Print menu items, set to landscape, but almost always get a portrait mode printout. Why?
2. The arrowheads are frightfully small. How do you make them bigger?
3. How can you globally set a preference to only show public attributes and operations for all classes?
Thanks for the help.
Dave Godbey

Good to hear your feedback. Thanks.
#1. there's a known bug on printing to landscape mode. However, the following workaround should print you a landscape diagram.
- from the diagram window toolbar, click on the Print Preview button
- from the Print Preview dialog, click on Print Setup
- from the Print Setup dialog, click on Page Setup at the bottom left
- from the Page Setup dialog, toggle the Landscape orientation radio button
- press the OK button on the Page Setup and Print Setup dialogs: Your print preview should now be displayed in landscape orientation
- now click on the Print button from the Print Preview dialog to print
#2. I believe your diagram must be big so that the arrowheads are displayed small. Currently I don't see a way to make them bigger. Sorry for the inconvenience. I can file an enhancement on this for you or you can file one for yourself too thru the following URL.
http://uml.netbeans.org/issues/enter_bug.cgi?component=uml
#3. As for global preference to show only specific attributes or operations, there's an enhancement bug already, but the current version of the tool doesn't have this preference setting.
