Printing check signatures through crystal / xml publisher

We have our signatures burned into a SIMM on the printer. The signatures get activated by an escape sequence. Is there a way of sending these escape sequences via crystal.
On another note has anyone printed checks using xml publisher using the aforementioned escape sequences.
thanks

Thanks Hussein.
I will check the 2 options you recommended. At the same, I would like to test the direct print from the OS using pdftops utility.  But not sure how can I do that?
The concurrent request creates the .tmp file under APPLTMP and pass that as the parameter while printing such requests. But if we need to test the .PDF output using pdftops directly, what should be the syntax? Or I would say, what should be the input file and output file?
e.g.
pdftops {infile} {outfile}
I have got the .PDF output under $APPLCSF/$APPLOUT. But from one of the failed request logs, I see the system passes both as .tmp. If we need to test this directly, is there any way?
In the meantime, I will check the debug logs option and update if it provides any additional information.

  • Pulling Signature into an XML Publisher report for Recruitment letters

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to create signed recruitment letters for the Talent Acquisition module and am not quite sure how to handle this technically.. I assume some customizations are in order...
    I guess some of the questions I have are:
    1) Is there OOTB functionality to handle Signatures in PS?
    2) Do i store the image in the database or on an accessible network/local drive location?
    3) Can XML Publisher handle this type of request?
    4) Is there any documentation out there to explain this in more detail?
    5) Any advice on how to proceed?
    I also have a company logo they want pulled into the XML Publisher Report.. i assume it would be a simliar effect.
    Anyway, I was hoping someone out there may have some advice on how to proceed.
    Regards,
    Greg

    Below excerpt from Oracle XML Publisher Core Components Guide
    Images
    XML Publisher supports several methods for including images in your published document:
    Direct Insertion*
    Insert the jpg, gif, bmp, or png image directly in your template.
    URL Reference*
    1. Insert a dummy image in your template.
    2. In Microsoft Word's Format Picture dialog box select the Web tab. Enter the
    following syntax in the Alternative text region to reference the image URL:
    url:{'http://image location'}
    For example, enter:
    url:{'http://www.oracle.com/images/ora_log.gif'}
    You can also build a URL based on multiple elements at runtime. Just use the
    concat function to build the URL string. For example:
    url:{concat(SERVER,'/',IMAGE_DIR,'/',IMAGE_FILE)}

  • Print Check Signature from Printer Flash Card

    Dear all,
      I need to print the signature from the Flash Card on the printer. They won't allow me to upload graphic into SAP system because of security reason.
      How can I find an escape sequence and a character sequence for a print control from HP printer (4350tn)?
      And please provide me an example of SAPscript code to print the signature.
    Thanks very much,
    Chaiphon Pulnitiporn

    First you will have to fin the correct sequence of characters which, when send to printer, print the signature.
    Then call transaction SPAD Spool Administration) to display Spool Administration: Initial Screen. Then click the Full Administration button. Select the Device Types tab and select the printer that will be printing the signature (HPLJ4, for example).
    Select the green check mark after entry of the Device Type to display the Spool Administration: Device Type screen, then click on the Print Controls tab.
    The Print Controls page displays a list of defined print control sequences, each identified by a name. You can create new sequences or modify existing sequences. Let's create a control sequence named <your instruction here>  to define the prefix that will print the signature:
    - Escape Code (hex 1B) usually at the beggining
    - The code for printing the signature
    - An upper case X to mark the end of the command (hex 58) usually
    So by calling the new instruction you will print the signature:
    - simple ABAP - <i>PRINT-CONTROL FUNCTION `<your instruction here>'</i>
    -SAPSCRIPT : <i>/: PRINT-CONTROL <your instruction here></i>
    If you have many signatures, maybe there will a part variable, so you will need two instructions : before and after to use before and after the id of the signature.
    If all printer of the same type don't have flash cards, you have to duplicate the device type and update the copy, then assign the new type to the correct printers.

  • Printing issue with pdftops for XML publisher reports.

    Hi All,
    We have recently upgraded from 11.5.10 to R12.1.3.
    We are facing a strange issue for some of the seeded reports that were converted to type XML after R12 upgrade.
    First, the reports were printed with junk / xml character while submitting the requests from application (e.g. Account Analysis Report)
    We made the following changes.
    - Added PDF Publisher style with required flag set to yes to the  Account Analysis Report.
    - Set proifle option "FND: Default Template Output Type"  to PDF   (it was blank)
    - The pasta_pdf.cfg is configured to use pdftops for conversion
    - Restarted the manager.
    After this, the above report is priting fine and pdftops is converting it to correct format before printing.
    But one of the printer that Oracle EBS is configured is getting stuck specifically for this postscript based request.  The same report prints well on another printer.
    The 'lpstat -t' shows the following status for the failing printer.

    I know this is a little late. I recently had the same issue. The LOV showed the values properly in our Vision instance, but it didnt work in our Test instance. Oracle support wasnt able to pinpoint it. I discovered that the problem was with a particular System profile option (CONC_REPORT_ACCESS_LEVEL). It was set to null. It should either be set to "User" or "Responsibility". This particular value is used in the "WHERE" clause for the SQL statement used to fetch data for the LOV. You can check these settings using the Sys Admin responsibility.
    Now, if I can just get my XML report (AP Checks) to run in a single step, instead of two separate steps... :)
    I hope this helps. Regards, Mark.

  • XML Publisher report giving XML tag output

    Dear All,
    Please note that we need to convert the standard report 'Bill of Material Comparison Report' to XML Publisher report.
    But we were not able to get the desired PDF output instead it shows only XML output.
    This report is not a direct concurrent program call to rdf, this concurrent program is triggered from a function.
    How can we overcome this issue..,
    Please update,
    Many thanks...,

    Hi Kiran,
    Please find the below info:
    Could you please confirm whether you have made the standard program's executable as 'XDODTEXE', and created a data definition with the rdf shorname and Data templte with the template defined.
    -- Done
    Could you also provide how your calling the report and when the request submitted are u able to see the template name on the submitted request ?
    -- The report is called through the application (in Bill of materials through a Form Function) When we select the comparison, it will display a comparison form, where we need to select the appropriate parameters and a button called 'Report' if clicked, it will fire the 'Bill of Material Comparison Report' concurrent program
    But after the concurrent program submission, we cannot see any template been attached to the submitted conc. pprog. but the template is been already attached to the concurrent program through the XML Publisher Administrator
    Many thanks....

  • Template is not attached to AP Check Printing report (XML Publisher)

    Hi Guru,
    I have implemented XML publisher version of AP check Print report and did all the setups. When we make the payment in payables it automatically submits check print report. The report is completed successfully, but no output.
    When I check View details button noticed that template layout is not attached to the report.
    Please do the needful.
    Thank in Advance,
    Venkat.

    Hi,
    The following are the Instance details
    OS : OEL5
    Database: 11g
    EBS : 11.5.10.2
    I have completed all the setups for the report and I am able to see the template attached to the request for other reports where we submit them in SRS window.
    But "AP check Print report" submits automatically through the form while making the payment against supplier in AP.
    Thanks in Advance,

  • Print AP check (MICR) via XML Publisher

    I will print AP check via XML Publisher 5.5. Our database is running on Linux.
    I installed MICR FONT from Elfrin to my laptop so that I can create template on my laptop.
    Should I install MICR font from the same company (Elfrin) onto database server? Or I can use the MICR font from any other company. What is the suggested MICR font (from which company) I should install on Linux?
    Anyone has experience installing MICR on Linux? Any installation doc I can download?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I am using Elfring fonts with XMLP 5.6. Since this is a truetype font, you can use it on the server as well. Please refer to the XML Publisher manual for details on how to install a font using XML Publisher Administrator responsibility.
