Printing character dash on MICR printer

Hi,
C&REGUD-CHECT&C A&REGUH-UBNKL&A    &REGUH-UBKNT&C
I am Using the above code to print the check number and...  On MICR printer.
Above the value of REGUH-UBNKL is 60020-002 on printer it is printing
60020 002   but I want to print this 60020’’’002
I mean in between 60020 and 002 I want to print the character dash on printer.
For this what code changes I need to do in C&REGUD-CHECT&C A&REGUH-UBNKL&A &REGUH-UBKNT&C.
Thanks a lot.

Unfortunately, the zebra printer I have cannot print beyond 4 Inch width. I used to get this error initially but when I have created a custom device type which was copied from lb_zeb2 and included the page format ZBGLBL which is the page size of 2 1/2 X 4 1/2 I started getting this new error.
I am not sure, if this is the right way to handle this. Also do we need do some special coding using ZPL4 if yes where and what are those commands
Thanks
Venkat

  • MICR Printing  for Cheques

    Hi all,
        IIam having Problem printing the MICR font on the Cheques . I searched many responses  , but  cudnt    get the solution yet.
    We have installed   MICR font  on the Cheque printer.
    I have created  character format MI  which has family  MICR_E and font  10.0 pt ,  coz  only 10  or blank is available.
    In the Script the code i have written  is
          <MI>"C"&REGUD-CHECT&"C"</>   -----> For 1st one
         For the 2nd one
          <MI>"A"&REGUH-UBNKL&"A"</> 
         For the 3 rd one
          <MI>&REGUH-UBKNT&"C"</> 
    The  Output  what iam getting in Normal printer is
    "C"00069207    "A"000123456  0002220005678
    Why is   "C"   and "A"  getting printed ,  it must get converted  to MICR font  right?
                 or
    When  i check it in MICR printer   does this come properly.  The Problem is The MICR printer  is  at client place  and  i cant check it each and every time.
    Please do let me  know    the " "  what iam using  is right or wrong?
    the MICR_E  what i have taken is right ?
    Please  do let me know.
    Regards,
    Shuja

    Dear Friend,

  • Cannot print character mode in windows 2000

    Hi,
    When I try to execute a character mode report using a network printer the report does not run correctly (prt sheet size, escape sequences etc.).
    There are three machines involved in this problem:
    1) A Windows XP Professional running reports developer. This machine was used to develop the report. It will be reffered as WXP in the future. These are version details of this machine:

    2) A Windows 2000 Server machine running reports runtime and accessed via windows terminal server. It will be reffered as W2000 in the future. These are version details of this machine:

    As you can see, all versions are exactly the same in both machines.
    3) A windows 98 machine with a epson fx-880+ printer atached on it. It will be referenced as W98.
    When running the report from the WXP machine, directing the output to the W98 Epson FX-880+ it works fine: all escape sequences takes effect, the speed is good and the aligment is ok. But when running the same .rep report from the W2000 machine, directing the output to the same W98 printer, the escape sequences doesn't work and, worst, are printed. As a consequence of this, the aligment is wrong.
    All of this was done to try to fix this problem:
    1) The latest patch available for reports 6i is patch 15 which you can download from metalink -&gt; patches -&gt; Simple search -&gt; patch number = 3171855. You can apply the latest patch and test (Raghavendra from metalink)
    2) Apply the spool raw datatype workaround in Windows 2000, following these steps:
    * Click Start , point to Settings , and then click Printers.
    * Right-click the printer that you want to use and click Properties.
    * On the Advanced tab, click Print Processor.
    * Click Raw in the Default data type box.
    * Click OK to confirm changes.
    * On the Advanced tab, clear the Enable advanced printing features option.
    * Click OK to confirm changes.
    (From metalink Note:178433.1)
    3) Edit the wide.prt file using dos edit instead of notepad, and using CTRL+P + ALT18 to obtain the ESC(18) character (just the same thing that was done in WXP machine) (From OTN Forum)
    Does anyone wave any other idea?
    Thanks,
    Vinicius Pacheco

    I'm replying my own question to inform what happens if anyone is facing same situation.
    Initially thanks to Bob for your sugestion. It works! But not at first time.
    I don't have administrator permission at the remote machine (W2000) to change the printer settings. So I made a request to the people who has. They made the changes, but the report still not working. After some tries we saw the reason: all the changes was for their user only. In my user this changes weren't active. So there are some things to check in this situation:
    1) If you are not administrator, check if the changes made by another people are in effect in your account;
    2) In some way your local printer definitons affects the remote printer (don't ask me why!!!), so check you local printer definition too.
    I hope it helps!

  • MICR printing problem using the Crystal ReportDocument object in C# app

    We developed a small C# windows program 6 months ago that reads a bank draft record and uses a Crystal Report form to print the draft (using ReportDocument() object and the PrintToPrinter() method).  This has been working fine for 6 months. (using .Net 2.0 Framework and Crystal Reports .Net plugin included with VS 2005 on client machine - CRRedist2005_X64.msi)
    Now the requirements have changed to put a MICR line at the bottom ot the draft check and print.  We have updated a similar Crystal draft report form and printed from Crystal Viewer - this works fine.  But when we update the Crystal report form used in the C# application, with the same MICR commands, using the same MICR printer, and the same user trying the print, it does not work.  The MICR commands are printed on the draft just like regular text, instead of being interpreted by the printer as MICR commands.  Must be something within the Crystal Reports .Net redistributable that is causing it to work incorrectly because it works correctly from the same users PC using Report Viewer.
    Note:  The MICR field on the Crystal Report contains the following chars:
           &%STHPASSWORD$&%SMD' MICR '$&%STQ$
    When we print, the above chars just print out like text
    Can anybody help with any suggestions ?
    Are they any hotfixes that address this issue of PCL commands not recognized on printer?

    The app that is working is a C++ vendor app, however the Crystal piece is seperate piece that uses the Crystal Report Viewer to pull up the draft report. The print button is then hit within Crystal Report Viewer and the draft prints correctly.
    - so the above app is using the Report Designer Component (craxdrt.dll) and as such it is not using the .NET assemblies...
    For the app that is not working, we are not using Crystal Report Viewer, but are using the ReportDocument object, from the Crystal .Net Redistributable (referenced above), embeded into our C# app. The app executes a PrintToPrint command against the identical Crystal report, however, running it this way, the MICR command that is embeded into the report is not recognized by the MICR printer. The output seems to jumble the MICR command that I posted earlier in the thread and does not keep the command in a readable format for the MICR printer.
    - the above is not using the Report Designer Component (craxdrt.dll). It is using the .NET assemblies and thus the .NET framework.
    Have you been able to get .NET to recognize / see the fonts in that label I mentioned on  6/27/08?

  • Issue with character formats using duplex printing in smartform

    Hi all,
    I am getting a problem with character formats using duplex printing in smartform. I am using a text module with a bold character to display text in a window. The problem is that on the first back page,the text is being printed normally (without bold), but on the next pages, the back pages are being printed with the bold character format.
    Can anyone know where is the problem..please.
    Points to be rewarded..
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Zaheed.

    Hi Zaheed,
    Normally this should not happen.. and also there is no internal formatting done by SAP.. it will show based on what fomatting option we have specified..
    If you are saying it is happening in ur case then
         1. Recheck whether whether you have same text module getting printed on the
             two page. If they are different then then individual check formatting option for
             each..
          2. If above point does'nt work for you ..then instead of bold char use normal
              format for text element and see if it is printing same on both page..
    Try this out and let us know your findings...
    Enjoy SAP.

  • Entry 0 is not defined as printing character - 8A651

    Hi. We're implementing Electronic Invoice WS SAP standard solution. At the moment all customizing has done. When we create a billing the VF01 transaction ends right. But when we call transaction VF02 it tell us that the invoice # doesn't exist, and send us an e-mail whit "Entry 0 is not defined as printing character" error # 8A651.
    Somebody know some solution to this problem ?
    Thanks

    Hi Santore,
    You may want to take a look at [SAP Note 528639|https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=528639] regarding this issue.
    I am guessing you are performing printing for a Company Code not belonging to Argentina Company Code, which may be causing this problem as your customizing is Argentinian specific.
    You could however alternatively try to print it using tcode IDCP.
    Hope the above helps.
    Thanks.

  • What is this non-printing character? (¤)

    The generic currency symbol
    (¤)
    shows up often as a non-printing character in a document I'm editing, mostly inside table cells where I'd expect paragraph symbols to be.  I can't find any information anywhere, and now I'm curious.  Does anybody know what this means?

    Hi,
    As far as I know, the non printing character is much easier to understand spacing when the characters are displayed. You can quickly tell, for instance, when you have inserted two spaces between words or added an extra carriage return. This allows you to
    more accurately control the look of your document and what it contains.
    In tables you will see one additional character, the universal monetary  symbol (¤), which displays variously at various point sizes and magnifications  but upon close inspection is seen to be a circle with four lines radiating from  the corners
    We may show/hide the non-printing character. (File> Word Options>Display>Check/Uncheck Show These Formatting Marks )

  • Standard text displayed correctly in print preview but not in print

    Hi,
    I have a script in which a standard text has to be printed in the output.
    The standard text contains some german characters.
    These characters are displayed correctly in print preview but not in print.
    The text is maintained in 3 languages DE,EN and Russian.
    The same text is being printed in some standard report. But that is displayed correctly both in print and print preview.
    Please suggest something.
    Regards,
    Richa Aggarwal

    Hi Richa,
    Check this document from SAP: [help doc|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f0652a95-5f0b-2a10-5aba-c085f8bbe6d6?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true]
    It indicates that you have to be sure to select "Unicode" fonts for your SAPScript form to ensure the proper printing of "Unicode" characters.  If a character does not display then that means it does not exist in the font that you are using.

  • Printer prints postscript code instead of print job every 5 or 9 print jobs.

    Hi,
    I have a Xerox Phaser 5880 printer that worked with our old G5 iMac. Upgraded to a new Intel mac when the old iMac died, and have run into intermittent printing problems.
    We have:
    Updated to the very latest version of 10.6.7
    Updated the printer firmware
    Updated the printer driver (Snow leopard compatible)
    Reset the printer service in control panel
    Removed and re added the printer
    The Problem:
    The first few print jobs typically work, and then the printer will spit out the code of the postscript rather than the document. The print job can be the exact same page printed previously a few seconds ago. If I force the printer language (setting on the printer), to PostScript rather than 'Auto', I get a red error message printed instead, saying "Undefined Command" and "Offending Character" will be either ">>" or "t" or "PS".
    I thought I would try to reinstall the 10.6.7 combo update, however it says "The Target Drive" is not available. :\
    Unplugging the printers USB cable, and then reinserting it fixes the issue for another few print jobs. As the printer is used in a paper business however, this is a significant problem as expensive paper types are used in the printer.
    Any support is greatly appreciated

  • Print problem of print form_print preview ok, but print failed

    Hi, gurus,
    the problem is that i can preview my form but i can't print it out.
    it seems to be problems with device type. I've already tried almost all device type but it still doesnot work.
    Form property:
    Preview Type: Print form only one side
    XDP preview type: Acrobat 7 static
    SPAD Configuration:
    Output Device: Standard, PDF1
    Host spool access method: F
    Host Printer: _default
    I am using Adobe Livecycle Designer 8.0 and adobe acrobat 8 professional.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    There's no need of and no logic in "printing" generated PDF to your Adobe PDF printer which creates PDF files. Why do you want to do that if u already have PDF? If you need to save PDF use save button on Adobe Reader toolbar or built-in functions of SAP solution to return PDF from ADS and save it to server or locally.
    At the same time, printing PDF to your HP printer makes sense. Pitty it is not working.
    Try experimenting with device types. Maybe create new Output Device, and use some HP device type like HPLJ1100 for it?
    As for PDF device type all I can add is just the config of my PDF1 device type (just in case).
    Device type PDF1
    Name PDF ISO Latin-14.6D+
    Attributes
    SAPscript handling
    Driver PDF1 PDF converter
    Page printer Yes
    List handling
    Printer driver PDF1 PDF Converter
    Argument Empty
    Printer character set
    1. Character set Printer POSTSCPT ISO 8859/1 (Latin 1)
    Synt. character set 0
    Print Controls
    this screen contains a long list of device specific print controls
    I'm afraid, that my knowledge on the topic are limited to what was already said.
    Please ask you admin for more help.

  • Web report printed on a dot matrix printer

    Dear all,
    how can i design a report that is going to be printed on a dot matrix printer, i want to know these things:
    1 - what i will have to change in the report it self.
    2 - when i call the report from the form how the code will be.
    3 - do i have to print the report on the browser then the user press print from the file menu of the browser.
    please advice

    1 - what i will have to change in the report it self.Since you will be printing to a dot matrix printer, you essentially need to design a character mode report and set the .prt file for printing purpose. Check in online help for how to make a character mode report.
    2 - when i call the report from the form how the code >will be.On the otn site itself, you can find a white paper on reports 9i/forms integration. Please refer to this white paper on the example code.
    3 - do i have to print the report on the browser then >the user press print from the file menu of the browser.You do not need to print the report from browser window and can directly tell the report to print the character mode output using your dot matrix printer. The command line you send from Forms will have destype=printer and desformat=<.prt file name>
    Thanks

    The bar code does show on the PDF, but it is just showing as repeating bars of the same size. Like this:  
    And when I print to LOCL printer, it prints out the same.  Why is it not printing/displaying the true bar code?

    Hi
    Which printer are you using? To print the Barcodes you need a separate Barcode printer see the following
    To Create a Bar code prefix:
    1) Go to T-code - SPAD -> Full Administration -> Click on Device Type -> Double click the device for which you wish to create the print control -> Click on Print Control tab ->Click on change mode -> Click the plus sign to add a row or prefix say SBP99 (Prefix must start with SBP) -> save you changes , it will ask for request -> create request and save
    2) Now when you go to SE73 if you enter SBP00 for you device it will add the newly created Prefix
    Create a character format C1.Assign a barcode to the character format.Check the check box for the barcode.
    The place where you are using the field value use like this
    <C1> &itab-field& </C1>.
    You will get the field value in the form of barcode.
    Which barcode printer are you using ? Can you download this file and see.

    It will give an idea about barcode commands.

    Detailed information about SAP Barcodes
    A barcode solution consists of the following:
    - a barcode printer
    - a barcode reader
    - a mobile data collection application/program
    A barcode label is a special symbology to represent human readable information such as a material number or batch number
    in machine readable format.
    There are different symbologies for different applications and different industries. Luckily, you need not worry to much about that as the logistics supply chain has mostly standardized on 3 of 9 and 128 barcode symbologies - which all barcode readers support and which SAP support natively in it's printing protocols.
    You can print barcodes from SAP by modifying an existing output form.
    Behind every output form is a print program that collects all the data and then pass it to the form. The form contains the layout as well as the font, line and paragraph formats. These forms are designed using SAPScript (a very easy but frustratingly simplistic form format language) or SmartForms that is more of a graphical form design tool.
    Barcodes are nothing more than a font definition and is part of the style sheet associated with a particular SAPScript form. The most important aspect is to place a parameter in the line of the form that points to the data element that you want to represent as barcode on the form, i.e. material number. Next you need to set the font for that parameter value to one of the supported barcode symbologies.

  • Sending printer control characters to a printer

    I would like to send printer control characters to a printer/plotter. Does anyone have any information or thoughts on how this could be accomplished? For example, I would like to send the printer reset sequence ([esc] E). Is this possible?
    Thank You,
    Bob

    Hi bgblair !!
    I�ve done this some time ago...
    Here is like i did it:
    char esc[] = new char[]{27};//The escape-character
    StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();//Stringbuffer to app. the whole doc. or pcl-commands
    buff.append(""+esc);
    ....OK...
    After i�ve filled the buf i put it into a File and sent it to the printer.
    This worked fine for me !!
