Printers for smartforms

Hi Gurus,
Can you tell me the what are the printers are support for smartforms?
Because my client has changes the printer,then the smartforms is not printing the Barcodes are support?
Regards
Kiran

Hi
For printing Barcodes we have to use special Barcode printers
where as for printing general smartforms we can use any general printer
but some times certain printers won't accept all fonts and doesn't print the logos barcodes properly, then you have to change the printer settings

Duplex printing for smartform

Hi,
Has anyone worked on Duplex printing for smartform? If yes, please tell me the procedure/steps that need to be taken for the same.
Thanks
Regards

Hi,
You can select Duplex printing in th epage properties of a page (D = Duplex)
The printer STARTS duplex printing from that page. This means that the printer triggers a pagefeed on that exact moment and starts printing on a new page. So when you have 1 page that stretches over more that one sheet of paper this means trouble. after every page the flow of the program starts a new Duplex print (thus feeding the current sheet and starts at a new page) this results in a new sheet of paper every page. this is not what you want.
You can solve this by creating 2 pages and set their respective NEXT PAGE to each other. Page 1 you set to DUplex, pagae 2 you leave blank..
But notice that when you select duplex printing most (if not all) printers start printing on the backside of the paper. When you use pre-printed (logo) paper, you will find that it prints the front on the back etc.
This can sometimes be corrected (if needed) by sending prescribe commands to the printer directly.
Good luck!

Driver Require or HP laserjet 1015 PCL Printers for Windows 8.1 64 Bit

Dear Sir,
I Working at PGVCL (Leading Electricity Distribution COmpany o Gujarat (India) ) having many HP printers Laserjet 1015 PCL. Now, recently our company upgrade our computer system with OS of Windows 8.1(64 bit),now trouble of printing start. No any above printers install in PC, due to non availibility of that Drivers. I checked HP websites for that Drivers. but our requirements driver not available in it. Finaly many printers of HP become unusable for us.
So, you are kindly requested to please provide Drives of Printers for HP LaserJet 1015 PCL for Windows 8.1 (64 Bit) or provide guideline ti install it in our PC. So, we can use HP Printers in our work place.

New-page for smartform

Hello all,
I am facing a problem using smartforms. I am printing a report where there is a loop running for a list of plants. For printing the information of each plant, I need to use a new page. Information of one plant may take several pages but for every new plant, I need to insert a page break.
I am using a COMMAND with a checked next page option in my EVENT ON SORT BEGIN for the plant code.
This does the trick, but if I use the command at the bottom, it inserts a blank page at the end of the report. If I use the command at the top of the event, it first shows a blank page and then the data from the 2nd page.
Please sugest how can I fix this.
Anmol

Hi Friend,
 You can use following tips for generating smartforms for every new plant.I have generated sales order report using this steps.You can refer it.Tips are given below:
1.Define the structure,workarea and internal table for sales order header and details and also define
select-options for sales order.
2.Also define the one STRUCTURE which has type as ssfctrlop.
e.g. control type ssfctrlop.
 This variable we have to define because we are going to use this in
SSF_OPEN function.This is used to avoid print preview while openning smartform
for every sales order.
3. Select data from vbak for sales header.
4. Call function SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME.
e.g.*CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
 EXPORTING
 formname = w_formname
VARIANT = ' '
DIRECT_CALL = ' '
 IMPORTING
 fm_name = w_functionname
 EXCEPTIONS
 no_form = 1
 no_function_module = 2
 OTHERS = 3
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
 WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
5.Now here define the various features or field in control structure.
This is controls for smartform.
e.g. control-no_dialog = 'X'.
 control-preview = 'X'.
 control-no_open = 'X'.
 control-no_close = 'X'.
6. Call function SSF_OPEN.
 Here you have to pass the control structure which you have define in declaration.
e.g.
CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_OPEN'
 EXPORTING
ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS =
USER_SETTINGS = 'X'
MAIL_SENDER =
MAIL_RECIPIENT =
MAIL_APPL_OBJ =
OUTPUT_OPTIONS =
 control_parameters = control
IMPORTING
JOB_OUTPUT_OPTIONS =
 EXCEPTIONS
 formatting_error = 1
 internal_error = 2
 send_error = 3
 user_canceled = 4
 OTHERS = 5
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
 WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
7. Take loop at header internal table .
8. Select data from vbak for sales details. Also select data from respective tables
like makt,kna1 here.
9.Then call function module which generated after executing smartform. And also pass the control structure
in import parameter in this function module.
e.g. CALL FUNCTION '/1BCDWB/SF00000397'
 EXPORTING
ARCHIVE_INDEX =
ARCHIVE_INDEX_TAB =
ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS =
 control_parameters = control
MAIL_APPL_OBJ =
MAIL_RECIPIENT =
MAIL_SENDER =
OUTPUT_OPTIONS =
USER_SETTINGS = 'X'
 wa_vbak = wa_vbak
IMPORTING
DOCUMENT_OUTPUT_INFO =
JOB_OUTPUT_INFO =
JOB_OUTPUT_OPTIONS =
 TABLES
 it_vbak = it_vbak
 it_vbap = it_vbap
EXCEPTIONS
FORMATTING_ERROR = 1
INTERNAL_ERROR = 2
SEND_ERROR = 3
USER_CANCELED = 4
OTHERS = 5
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
 WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
10.After endloop call function SSF_CLOSE.
 If it will help you reward me points.

Santosh.

Use dot matrix printers for printing text reports in Reports 10g

In Forms 6i, customers had the option to use dot matrix printers for printing text reports.
I believe, from 9i onwards, text based reports aren’t supported and instead HTML/PDF,DOC,RTF reports are supported which are not text based and use modern day printers.
Is it still possible to use text printers ??

Noman

Compatible printers for Mac mini (Mac's)

Where can I find a list of compatible printers for Mac. My current Windows printer is a Canon LBP-1120 and cannot use it with my Mac mini. So its probably time to get another printer for my Macs.

I should add that there are a number of printers that are compatible and that don't necessarily appear to be so as a result of third-party drivers. This includes, if I'm not mistaken, some Canon models which can be plugged in and selected in Printer setup.
Others, such as at least some Epson, HP and Lexmark models, are supplied with Windows and MacOS drivers (you need to make sure they're for the right version of MacOS) or the box will be labelled such that it indicates PC/Mac compatibility.
You might take a quick look at the printers offered through the online Apple store (under Mac accessories) to get an idea of which makes to look at. This will only tell you about current models of course, but should at least prove a reliable starting point.

Role for SMARTFORMS tcode in DEV system?

Hi all,
I gave access for an ABAP Developer in QA and MIRROR system with a Z_ARCHITECT_MIRROR[Super role with access to all transactions] role.
Whic is restricted in PROD system.
There is a SAP role which contains access for SMARTFORMS tcode in PROD.
As far as I know this is not possible in PROD system??
Would like to know if there is a solution for this?
Regards,
Bharath.
Edited by: SAP Learner on Apr 14, 2008 4:07 PM

as long as your PRD system is locked against changes (tx. SCC4) there should not be a problem when the abaper can view smartforms.
check the settings of your PRD-system (no changes allowed in SE06) and no customizing and repository changes allowed in client XXX in tx. SCC4 and you should be safe.

Create coustom page size for Smartforms

Dear All
How to create coustom page size for smartforms.
rgds
pramod

HI
To define a new page format, choose
Administration -> CCMS -> Print->® Spool Administration.
Choose Full Administration and then Page Formats on the Device Types tab page. On the next screen choose Change and Create or Create with Reference. Fill out the fields on the next screen.
Activating a New Page Format
Before using a new page format, you must specify it as a page format in a SAPscript form. Be careful when replacing a page format in a standard SAPscript form as the form may not necessarily fit on the new page format.
You also have to define a format and device type format for the new page format before you can use it.

Hi..how we enter standard text for smartform using include text

hi
guru
..how we enter standard text for smartform using include text..
i know only using so10 we write text..
in smartform it asking text-object
text-id,
so what values we should give to get text

Hi,
Do u want to print Standard Text or the Texts that are maintained at the Transaction level.
If it is standard text , then u use text id as ST or if it is Texts that are maintained at the Transaction level then u have to go to that specific transaction and check for that text , then go to text editor ,in the goto menu u have header data where u get the Text id , text name.... , use them in ur smartform in the INCLUDE text.
Further u have the option of text modules in smartforms which act as standard texts, so if u r going for creation of standard texts then its better to use text modules.

Material document printing: is program SAPM07DR prepared for smartforms?

Hi everyone.
We need to do a smartform to print material documents through a new output type. Do you know if program SAPM07DR is prepared to work with smartforms? I don't think so, I see that it is prepared for sapscripts and PDF-forms, but it seems not to be prepared for smartforms.
In case that it is not prepared to work with smartforms, do you know any standard program that print smartforms for material documents?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

These programs doesn't fit with the requirements. I have found program SAPFM07P_SMART, but the problem is that this program is prepared to print an smartform per material document item, and I need to print a smartform for the whole material document information.
So if you don't know any other program, I suppose we will have to addapt a copy of SAPFM07P_SMART to work with the whole material document, and not with every item.
Thanks.

Get Spool number for Smartform

Hi All,
I have created a smartform to print the POs created through ME21n. I have changed the config to use this smartform when a PO is changed/created. Everything is working fine. All I need is the spool number for each of the PO this is being printed. Can you please let me know how I can achieve this through the FM for smartform?

Hi,
JOB_OUTPUT_OPTIONS is of type SSFCRESOP, which does not have a SPOOLIDS field/table.
I knwo that the function module SSF_CLOSE returns the spool id in a table. But, I am not sure how to use SSF_OPEN and SSF_CLOSE. Can you please throw some light on how I can use these to get the spool numbers?
This is what I have right now.
