Printing checks to multiple printers

Based on organizations my AP checks print to different printers. I'm using one check template for all of them. How critical is it to have the actual printers to be exactly same model? Do I need to even worry about this?
Tomas

Welcome to the discussions!
+Can a TC be strictly wireless?+
Yes, although in this type of setup the TC will be a wireless backup device only. If you have another Apple"n" router creating your main network, you could also configure the TC to "extend a wireless network" to provide more wireless coverage.
+Can I have more then one printer attached?+
Assuming your printer is compatible with the USB port on the TC, (not all printers are), and you use a powered USB hub, you can attach multiple printers.
+(and will a USB to parallel adapter work?+
Can't provide an answer on that one, but would be surprised if it worked.
+Multiple HDs hanging off it work? Is there a limit to the number of devices? and if so, a limit per type or just total?+
As long as you use a powered USB hub and each HD has it's own power supply, there's really no set limit on the number of devices within reason.
+And is WiFi backups still painfully slow?+
Backups will occur as quickly as your current wireless network allows.
+(and can I move a BU to the TC?)+
Not sure what you mean here. The TC is designed for Time Machine backups, but you can also store other files on the drive if you wish, providing that there is plenty of free space for Time Machine to operate correctly.

How do you split the print job across multiple printers to shorten the prin

i
Can any one you provide some information on below questions.
Check printing by XML template (XML Publisher).
1. When printing checks, how do you print the checks from one printer tray and the overflow remittance pages from another printer tray?
2. When printing a large batch of checks using XML and PDF output, how do you split the print job across multiple printers to shorten the print time?
I appreciate if you could give some information on above 2 questions.

Probably sould just do them individually.

Hey Scripting Guys!
looking at the new Set-Printer command for 2012/Powershell4.0.
we have a bunch of printers already added. I have changed the global perms on the printer server, but would like to mod the perms on existing printers. Anyway to do it via powershell?

Printing delivery note output to multiple printers...

Hai team, we have a custom delivery note output which is called commercial invoice. This output is defined thru transactions VV21 & VP01shp. The output device is defaulted within these transactions. However, there's a request to send the printing immediately to multiple printers. Does anyone know how we can set so that the output gets printed immediately to multiple printers since the configs mentioned above only allow us 1 entry in the output device field?

Hi
when you are maintaining the output master, maintain the same document type for different partner functions and for each partner function, you can give a different printer in the communication screen. By this , you can trigger the print out in multiple printers for any document.
Reward points if it helps.
HI ANANDAN,
I TRIED IT, IT IS NOT WORKING, AS THE DOCUMENT TYPE IS UNIQUE IN OUTPUT MASTER. APOLOGISE FOR GIVING AN INCORRECT SOLUTION.

White areas printing as orange for multiple printers.

Hi all,
Did a search and didn't find an answer, so here is the issue - I have a G5 running 10.3.9, and both an Epson R300Inkjet and a HP 3600dn laserprinter. On both printers, any area defined by the application as containing no data (and would normally be left white) is printing a sort of orange-red. Areas defined within an image as white are fine. It's as if somewhere there is a data error telling both printers to render non-data space as this solid red. I thought it was the drivers on the Epson, but I just got the HP today and it immediately did the same thing.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
-Stu

Actually, no, that is not the case. Yes, permissions have been checked. Have 4 Macs. 1 Intel based, the other 3 PowerPC. ALL of them have this problem. It's not anything corrupted. On one of the machines, I just instaled the printer driver from Brother. So, fresh and new.
So, my question to the group is does anyone else have multiple printers and use printer presets. If so, if you use one other than "standard" and print, then, print again (our preset will then be the default, do not pick again), does it print the second time correctly, or, does it revert to standard settings?
No, the printer has no way to set the default tray. Which is stupid as the multi function tray, where you can put a limited number of sheets, is exactly where you WOULD put forms, and, the regular tray, which holds a LOT of paper, is of course where you would put regular paper. Funny thing is, the regular tray is TRAY 2! Which is not the default.

Print to multiple printers

Hi,
Could any one of you please tell me how to send the same page to multiple printers automatically ( without manual selection).
Regards,

Hi,
Am calling a standard program thru func module to which am sending the printer name to options parameter of open_form thru a BAdi.
My requirement is to get the receiving printers from custom table based on condition and then send the same form (page) to all those printers. How can I do this. FYI, RQ*31 is the print program .
Thanks,

Printing problem when use multiple printers

Hi to all,
we are using printing through multiple printers in the network, after u start the machine if u use one printer it is ok, when the time u start printing with another printer the problems start like it starts from middle of the page or it prints half of the page then it leaves balnk remainig. etc. the printers \we are using are one is EPSON LX-300+ and another is HP Laser 1200. we are using orginal softwares suppliers by the prinnters.. Oracle reports developer6 is the reports.
any one has got experice in this.
Thanks in advance..

Can you access page1 and page2.jsp correctly on their own?
ie could the problem be with page2.jsp rather than the import command?

AP Check printing setups for printing checks on your own

HI
I am wondering if there a good document which deals with AP check printing with MICR and signature on your own check stock
thanks

Recently we started to deal with AP check printing in our organizatin. It was a daunting task with the information and resources scattered all over and missing critical pieces of information to make sense out of the whole process flow. We attempted to go through the AP check printing internally and succeded.
I decided to post the information for the benefit of people about the our experience
Check Printing Basics and Beyond for Printing Checks on Your Own
by
Sarma Chilukuri
This article deals with what is needed to get your own checks printed. It is a first attempt to uncover all the hidden rules that one should be aware to get your own checks printed. The first section deals with the basic AP check printing setup, while the 2nd half explores some of the flow of events that make it possible to print the check.
Part I â Basic Setup
AP Setup for check printing
There are multiple steps in the AP check printing. First set of steps deal with the AP side setups. The second step is to get the System side setups. The system side setup deals with printer setup and program options setups. The last step would be to make the print format files configured with the vendor provided escape sequences in the laser print format file.
Step 1: login as Payable Manager
Step 2: Bank Setup: Navigate to Setup: Payments > Banks
1.     Make sure the Bank # etc are present
2.     Tab to âBank Accountsâ, and make sure your account # has been setup
3.     On the Bank Accounts screen, tab to the âPayables Documentsâ and verify that Payment format (E.g., COK Laser Format) has been entered. This âPayment format links to next section where we associate it to the right payment program.
Fig 1. AP Payment Bank Setup Screen
Step 3: Program Setup (Setup: Payments > Programs)
As we know there are only 5 formats 3 of which are âEver Green Laserâ (APXPBFE G|L|F) which are explained in the AP Users Guide. For your own form printing, you have to associate the format to APXPFEL (laser format) program. Also, the APXPBFEL or APXPBFEF call the APXPBFEG, which is the base program that pulls the data from oracle base tables. APXPBFEL is the one which allows us to print the checks with MICR and signature on a plain paper not on a pre printed stationery.
Fig. 2 AP Payment Format Setup Screen
Printer Styles, Drivers setup
The above process summarizes the AP Setup. As a DBA, the printer setup needs to be validated. The base install provides the right setup to some extent. But the differences in printers and print queues may add some complexity to the final configuration. The following section discusses the set up the base install provides and changes as needed.
Step 1. Login as system Administrator
Step 2: Style (Install : Printer > Style)
Look for the âPORTRAITHPLJ4LASCHECKâ. This one is associated with the SRW Driver Called, âAPLASPâ (AP Laser printer format).
Step 3: Driver (Install : Printer > Driver).
     1. The âPORTRAITHPLJ4LASCHECKâ is associated with a âUser Driverâ of PORTRAIT for HPLJ4 and and a SRW driver of âAPLASPâ
     2. Also notice that there is an Initialization string at the bottom of it. This initialization string gets called as pre-report trigger for the APXPBFEG program (APXPBFEG.rdf) file. It sets the kind of format it should be. Please see the Appendix A for details on these printer pcl code translations. The Initialization string was as follows:
Initialization: /eE/e&l0o2a7C/e(s0P/e(8U
Step 4: Printer type (Install : Printer > Register)
Each printer type is associated with a set of styles. Make sure the printer that was selected has the above style and its associated driver listed against that.
Fig. 3 System Administrator Printer Seups
Step 5: Program Setup (Concurrent > Program > Define)
This step holds the key for check printing. It is necessary to define whether you need the check on top followed by the Stub or the other way around. The way it is controlled is based on the APXPBFEG.rdf, the report definition file and the APLASP.prt (Printer Style associate with the Portrait laser check format SRW driver). The APLASP.prt file ($FND_TOP/reports) has two identical setups called the 100 series and the 200 series. Those identical sets of setups define where the MICR and signature print on the check. The following table lists the some of the codes in the 100 series. Please refer to Doc ID #146452.1 for complete details.
Fig. 4 System Administrator Concurrent Program Definitions
CODE #     Code Definition
100     Electronic check activation string
101     1st Check #
102     2nd Check #
104     Deactivate check number mode string
111     Activate MICR line
112     MICR Deactivation / reset the printer head position
121     1st Signature
122     2nd Signature
141     Address font activation string
199     Return to default state string
Table 1. APLASP.prt -- MICR Activation Codes
The above code block repeats itself the same way in the 200 series. The decision to activate one way or the other controls the Check printing.
Step 2: Setting up the Option block
In the concurrent program definition for the APXPBFEL, there is an Options block in the middle. You need to list the codes that you want to activate. Please refer to Doc ID # 186640.1 for some explanation on these.
E.g.,
p_printer_code_mask="201,211,221,241" p_sig2_amount="" p_sig3_amount="" p_sig1_vendnum="" p_sig2_vendnum="" p_sig3_vendnum="" p_country_to_ignore="US" p_continuous_stationery="N"
Step 3: Output format is Text
Text format is sufficient, as the printer will pick up these escape sequences anyway.
Fig. 5 System Administrator Concurrent Program APXPBFEL Options Definition
UIPRINT.TXT, UIFONTS.ALI
One needs to be aware of a few more pieces in this puzzle. The UIPRINT.TXT identifies to the Oracle Applications the print queues that were setup. This file is needed to set your PCL / Post Script printer definitions. I did not have to really tinker with these files other than identifying the PCL and Post Script Qâs that were setup on the UNIX box.
Part II: Integrating all the pieces
The above setups are all documented in various articles. We need to understand a few more steps to see how all these pieces come together.
What you need to know about APXPBFEG.rdf
APXPBFEG (.rdf) is the report file which when called pulls the data from Oracle. If you open the APXPBFEG.rdf in the Oracle reports, there is initialization to the report called, SRW.Init. This will bring in the initialization string associated with the PORTRAITHPLJ4LASCHECK driver definition file. Also, please be very careful with this report format file. When you open it, there is small tiny empty block. in the first block which calls the printer initialization code 100/200 under the Format Mask (from APLASP.prt). If this portion gets changed or messed up, one can end up with some unexpected results. Each of those blocks like MICR, CHECK etcâ¦ have associated format triggers and printer codes.
Please make sure that the printer mask is properly handled. I noticed that the 200 series MICR (211) and Signature (221) printer masks were tied to 111 and 121 respectively. These should have been 211 and 221. The other place you need to be careful was the printer code before and after is proper.
For E.g.,
For the MICR, the âprinter code before and after columns â should be 111 and 112 (or 211 / 212) respectively while Format Trigger should reference to 111 (211).
Fig. 6 APXPBFEG rdf file printer mask and Format Triggers
The escape sequences in the APLASP.prt file for these codes will play the crucial role in getting our format around the report output that gets generated from the APXPBFEG program. Please refer to the explanation of these escape sequence codes in the APPENDIX A.
At this point when you run the program, you will see that the formatted output report file will have all the initialization strings and the output associated with that. You can compare the fields and verify the results. Let us closely examine the parts of the 111 and 121 where the micr and signature prints. The key to this to code the escape sequences the right way to get the associate MICR and signature print out correctly.

Code 111 and Code 112 from the APLASP.prt file.

Summary
One can print their own checks using the above steps. This can work as a cost effective solution for small organizations where the budgetary constraints are tighter. We are successful in getting the AP Checks printed using the above method.

Print Check-Copy (Non-Negotiable) after every check print

We are implementing Std. R12.0.6 AP Check Printing.
I've designed standard BI Publisher RTF to print the Check and Check-Copy without any issue.
My RTF Template has Check design on first page and Check-Copy (Non-Negotiable) on second page of RTF. Std. Conc. Prog. Payment program FORMAT PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS automaticlly will be printnig the Checks after paying the Vendor, there my RTF is being used for printing through PDF.
Issue is Both Check & Copy are by default getting printed from Tray#3. But the requirement is Check to be selected from Tray#2 and its Check-Copy should be selected from Tray#3.
Note: output PDF is NOT considering the Print setups made in RTF.
My question is:
(1) How can we Print Checks from (Check Stock) Tray#2 and Checks those Copies (which are Non-Negotiable) from
Tray#3

Hi,
Check printing is a different scenario in Oracle, since the concurrent program is launched as a part of the payment process.
If the concurrent program is submitted manually then we could have manipulated it by wrapping in a different program and then calling two different concurrent programs having its output from two different trays, but in check printing scenario we don't have a work around.
By modifying the seeded code you should be able to achieve this: [Non recommended solution]
     1. Create a wrapper program [call seeded check printing program (program 1) then a custom program (program 2), program 2 will print the non negotiable document ]
     2. In the seeded code modify the concurrent program call to your wrapper program call.
NOTE: EVERY TIME WHEN A PATCH IS APPLIED TO AP OR IBY modules, care should be take to reflect the custom change.
Hope it helps, Thanks!

Can I use multiple printers on the current airport express??

I would like to hook up multiple (3) printers for wireless printing using AirPort Express. Would also entertain AirPort Extreme. The printers are just too far away to make cabling practical and was wondering if the current crop of AirPort devices would support multiple printers through the use of an attached USB hub. The only other thread that seems to discuss this is from 2006. The salesperson at my local AppleStore did not have the info and suggested I come to these forums and ask the community.
I am running a MacBook Pro 17" 233 GHz Core2Duo with MacOSX 10.6.8
The printers I would like to connect are 1 epson Pro7600 wide format, 1 HP DesignJet 1220c and a Brother 1440 laser printer.
Thanks
Phil

Yes....if you use a powered USB hub with its own power supply.
I use a 4 port USB powered hub from Dynex available at Best Buy. Works fine. I am sure that there are many other powered hubs that will work as well.

Laserjet Pro 200 M251NW printing Garbage characters multiple pages after just setting up

I am installing the printer for the first time on a Dell Optiplex with Windows 7 32bit, it is about a year old and is working fine with other printers. The printer was working fine through USB on a laptop running windows XP.
Connected the printer to an open USB on the computer and the auto install started running from the printer. It seemed to run OK, I followed all of the prompts, etc. When I said it should print a test page it started printing multiple pages each with a few lines of what I would call garbage text, strange characters, spaces, random letters, etc. It kept printing pages and I had to turn the printer off to get it to stop.
I was thinking that maybe the drivers from the printer were old and not for Windows 7, so I then download the full driver from the HP website and installed that. It said it would uninstall the original driver, which it did, then it installed and again all seemed OK until I printed the test page, and the same thing as above happened. I also tried printing some text from notepad and it went to the print queue then disappeared. It still seemed like a driver problem to me so I manually uninstalled from the start menu program Uninstall for the printer. This time I downloaded the basic driver and installed - still with the same result. I thought maybe it was because the Quick STart from the printer kept loading when the printer was turned on so I turned it off from the menu on the printer, but it still didn't help. I also tried another USB port on the computer with the same result.
Is it possible there is software left from the first install that may not have been for Windows 7 and it needs to be removed manually??
Any help from HP or anyone would be greatly appreciated as I need to get this printer running for our shipping system ASAP.
Thanks,
Rich

I tried all of those things and it is always the same result. Even on the network, printing from the same computer. I was able to print properly from a different computer, to the HP 200 connected to the USB and shared on the original computer - so I then knew the USB was OK.
I was looking online further and found the HP Universal PCL6 driver, and it actually worked! I don't really understand why the proper driver will not work with the printer though. I even created a new user on the computer so all of the programs, etc. would not load, then I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver - still same problem. The computer also has drivers and printer software for Epson printers, so I don't know if that could be causing some type of problem.
It is good that we can at least do basic printing but I really should have the fully functional driver working for the system. Any help from anyone, and hopefully HP monitors these discussions and can help out.
Thanks,
Rich

Elements 10 does not recognize multiple printers of same model?

In our business, we print on multiple printers, some of which are the same model.
For example, the Epson Stylus C88 is a common printer for us and we've been using PSE for years, since Version 3. For the purpose of our sample integrity (we print specialized inks to analyze their density), we wish to continue using Epson C88's for as long as we can still purchase them.
We've been making infrequent version upgrades to PSE, but are now finally caught up.
Unfortunately, when trying to print with PSE10 having more than one C88 installed, two problems occur:
1) The printer selection menu has all the printers listed, but as soon as we access the Advanced Settings, the printer choice defaults towards the most recently installed C88 (ie. we wanted to use Copy 5 and it would not allow us to choose anything but Copy 9, the latest one).
2) We're allowed to print exactly once. When I try to print a second time, a dialog box pops up saying:
"Before you can perform printer-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer."
The box pops when I hit the print command, meaning I can't do ANY printing, despite having a large number of printers installed, unless I close and reload the program.
I attempted a quick fix of this by uninstalling all my Epson C88's, and then reinstalling the particular C88 I wished to use. I was allowed to print, and continue printing, as long as that C88 was the only one that was installed. Unfortunately, when I moved to install another, the problem surfaced again. This time, I deleted my "original" C88 while keeping the second copy installed, and the problem persists. I could maintain one and only one Epson C88 installed at any time, but I'd rather not have to.
Doing a little research, I've noticed that this is not the only model of printer with this problem. I've attempted to load up an HP Officejet Pro 8000, and the exact same problem occurred, leading me to believe that it's an issue in PSE, not the printer.
The printer drivers are all current, and I have the latest version of PSE10 installed. This hasn't happened on any version previous to my knowledge (earliest known being PSE7).
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can give in this issue.

Yeah, that does seem to allow it to print. This means I should rename all the printers, which, honestly, is not that big of a deal. Not so much as uninstalling and reinstalling.
Thanks!

You can maintain multiple E-mail ID's for a vendor master.In standard possible to send PO by e-mail to vendor to single e-mail ID ONLY. If you want to send PO by e-mail in multiple (e-mail) ID's, you can go for development with ABAPer for using of function module OR can work with group e-mail concept( check with system admin team).

Multiple Printers off USB Hub

I run a complete variety of macs as a home network and am thinking of buying a new Airport principally so that I can use it as a server hub with the external drives I have (holding backups, photos, music etc).
I'm quite happy setting up the network (mixed wire and wireless) but am wondering if I can run multiple USB drives and multiple printers (colour and cheap laser).
If I place these in one location running a powered usb hub, will all the drive show up ? and If they are switched on, will all the printers show up as available ?
Any helpful hints, I'm looking to hide backup drives and printers leaving a minimal desktop and laptop footprint.
(PS buying new macbook soon to get the speed benefit from AE, but the network disk/printer is what interests me most)

Yes you can

usb hub, will all the drive show up ?
Yes, if the drives are externally powered you may not need a powered hub.
and If they
are switched on, will all the printers show up as
available ?
Yes
