Printer using in Smartforms

Hi,
I have the job to change all old sapscript orders to be printed with co01/02/03 from DIN A4 to DIN A5 and decided to recreate them in smartforms now. The boxes and stuff were created dynamically and to change that big forms and printprograms in sapcript to DIN A5 is like You have to change everything.... The sapscript masters know, what I mean! ;o)
So now I have made the design of the forms in Smartforms. I wanted to use the data-selection of the old print programs. When You print an order in Co01/02/03, You have to choose a list in combination with the printer destination.
In the old programs, I´m getting a structure called PRINT_CO and PRINT_OPT with the list option I have chosen for the print. This structure has a field called "DESTI", but this field is only the size of 4 characters.
The smartforms structures CONTROL_PARAMETERS and OUTPUT_OPTIONS need the full tddestination content, like the printername. And that field is in size 8 char.
How can I get this destination using the field DESTI and pass it to smartforms. Or is there a better way, to use the chosen options of the lists in CO01/02/03?
I hope, You can understand my problem!
Cheers Arne

ok, for example:
TA CO02->choose an order->menu order->settings->list control. Here You can check the lists, You want to be printed and there output device.
In the customizing, You can set the sapscript and the print program for every list, so You can print different forms with only one order in CO01/02/03.
The problem is, that You can´t choose a smartform there. So I have to write my own program and call the actual smartform by the choosen list.
In the print program, I´m calling the function CO_PRINT_GET_INFO_LIST to get the list structures PRINT_CO and PRINT_OPTS. In there, I have the field DESTI, which has the type CHAR 4, buit I need to fill the TDDEST field in the smartform structure, and it´s size is CHAR 8. Here I need the destination, like the printername. In DESTI I get only the short name.
Hope You understand, what I mean!
Cheers

Using SSF_OPEN and SSF_CLOSE, is it possible to print the next smartform in the same page?

Hi Experts,
I'm using SSF_OPEN and SSF_CLOSE, to print multiple smartforms. In between SSF_OPEN and SSF_CLOSE, there is a loop at a smartform. The output prints each smartform in different pages. Is it possible to print the second smartform in the first page since there is still space for printing there?
Thanks in Advanced,
Jack

Hi Jack,
As per my knowledge,
you can't print two smartform in single page because smart form having own page-size.
If your layout page is A4 size then first layout print in A4 page and next layout will be go-to next print page. but if you have different kind of page size for both layout then you can control from printer side then that case both page will be printed in single print page.

hi Krishna,
This printer does not support ZPL2 so I thnk you cnnot use the device types like LZEB2. It should work to print via windows and a device type like SAPWIN or SWINCF.

Not able to print a standard smartform on dot matrix

Hi
The standard print program /BEV2/ED_PRINT_SF_LDS_XX and the corresponding smartform /BEV2/ED_SF_LDS are printed using a laser printer. But when I try to print it using a dot matrix printer instead. I get no preview and no printout.
Can anyone help me on this please ?

Smita, check if the paper size that is used in the Smartform is assigned to the device type of the dot matrix printer (most likely laser and dot matrix printers are not using the same device type).
It is strange though that you don't get the printout at all. Have you checked the spool queue (SP01)? If it doesn't even reach the spool then the problem is not with the printer.

Standard text printing missing on Smartform

Hi All,
I am using standard text in Smartform.
Standard text contains 'terms and conditions' hence it's used for printing in second page.
For printing standard text one window other than Main window has been created in second page.
Now when I am taking print preview of smartform only two pages are visible and on second page complete standard text is not displayed. As standard text is of two pages then rest missing text should come on third page as a continuity.
But missing standard text is not getting diplayed.
Any suggestion what shall we do to print complete standard text.
Regards,
Amit

I tried to use the 2nd option provided by you but still this prolem is not resolved.
Missing Standard text is not going in a new page.
I tried to expand the window size and now entire text is coming in a single page. But by this way page window is not same as in a first page.
Is there any otherway to print the rest missing text in next page of the smartform.

Transfer Order Printing using smart forms

Hi All
Our requirement is to print Transfer Order ( WM ) for Goods Receipt & Delivery using Smart forms.
Can we change the existing standard format (SAP script ) and use our own form(smart form ) to include some other data & print.
If possible how to replace the SAP script to Smart form.
Request someone could guide in detail.
Thanks in advance.
Samson

Hi
When you create Smartform try to replace it in customizing OMLV. Not sure if it will work as it refers to Sap Scirpt in help description.
It is also possible to write Z program for TO printing and hardcode SmartForm there.

Printing graphics (via SmartForms?)

Hello,
I have problem with printing images via SmartForms. I know that I must firstly import graphics using SE78 transction and then use it in SmartForms. We would like to print small jpg images which represents rough preview of product in invoices, offers etc.
Problem is that we have tens of thousands of materials and each has a preview. All images are stored in DMS (KPro) so I thing that is inefficient to import all images again in SE78.
Does anybody know how to avoid converting all jpgs to tiffs and importing in SE78. Maybe some other printing solution than SmartForms?
Thanks a lot,
Zdenek

This is a common problem. To accomplish this you may need to resort to new BC-XDC interface which can convert non OTF/ALF output to PS/PCL and then feed to spooler, as spooler is not capable of dealing with other native formats such as images.
Another option is to use 3rd party OMS tools, or KPro/ArchiveLink mass printing solution "APS".

Address printing pb in smartforms

hi all,
I have problem in printing address in smartforms
In customer master if i choose country US, address is printing properly
If I choose Country IN, it is not printing.
please guinde me how to solve this issue.

Hi
Are you using an Address Node in the Smartform to print Addresses? Use an address node, in the address node pass the Address Number and it will display the address.
You can retreive the address number from the master table based on customer number and pass that variable to address node. You can use Program Lines to retreive the address number.
