Printing one file to multiple printers
I think this is the right section. If not, please forgive me.
I'm trying to make, if possible a button on the toolbar that will print two copies to one printer, and one copy to another printer.
Is that even possible?
Thanks.
First, I would work on creating a 'print' button.
You need to know the printer names assigned on your system. The following code can be run in the JavaScirpt console and display a list of printer names:
var l = app.printerNames.length
for ( var i = 0; i < l; i++)
console.println("(" + (i+1) + ") " + app.printerNames[i]);
With that one can then set the printer parameters for the print command:
var myParams = this.getPrintParams();
myParams.NumCopies = 2;
myParams.interactive = silent;
myParams.printerName = "system printer name 1";
this.print(myParams);
var myParams = this.getPrintParams();
myParams.NumCopies = 1;
myParams.interactive = silent;
myParams.printerName = "system printer name 2";
this.print(myParams);
This will work from the console, but inorder to use the silent parameter, you will need to create a menu item to get around the priviledged and trusted funcitons.

One file to multiple printers?
hi, i did post this question earlier in the Printing and Faxing area, but they suggested i post it here.. maybe someone can help me.. my post was this:
((hi, im just wondering if i can print an Indesign file normaly and set a way to make this file goes to different printers in my network to print one copy at each printer?
i have also OSX server... maybe this can be helpfull too?
if this can be done, it will be used for a newspaper that the layout guys print the same page for editors, adverts dept., spell check.. etc.
so instead of printing to one printer 5 or more copies of each file.. one print order for one copy will be made, and separate printers for each dept. will recieve the order and prints the page..
thanx))
the guys sujjested that maybe a script can do the job.. but i know nothing about scripts.. so could it be really done?!
this is the original post, you can see the other guys posts and recomends to be done:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1828171#1828171thanx for the reply Cyclosaurus..
but, this can be done easily for one specific file, i
have something like 25 machines with files coming out
all the time tp be printed.. so its a long proccess
to tell every guy when finishing every file "go to
the scritp editor" and do this and that..
I can put an open handler, then you can easily drag-n-drop your files to be printed.
i thought maybe theres a way to make a new printer
for the print setup utility, that i can choose from
applications like Indesign or Photoshop and print one
copy.. then this printer can be attached to a script
This will default to one printer, which is not what you wanted.
Here is the modification with open handler.
-- begin
on run
set the_file to (choose file) as string
printfile(thefile as string)
end run
on open these_files
repeat with the_file in these_files
printfile(thefile as string)
end repeat
end open
on printfile(thefile)
tell application "Printer Setup Utility"
set current_printer to current printer
-- get all workable printer, you can selectively print to printers if you know their names
set _printers to printers whose status is idle or status is printing
repeat with _printer in _printers
-- set printer
set current printer to _printer
-- print doc
tell application "Finder" to print item the_file
delay 5 -- change this delay if needed to delay print queue
end repeat
-- restore default printer
set current printer to current_printer
end tell
end print_file
-- end
Save it as an application, then you can drag-n-drop multiple files. -
Is it possible to print one document to two printers?
I need to print one document to two printers at the same time.
Can I accomplish this with printer pools in OSX Server? I've found several 3rd party vendors for Windows, but nothing for the Mac.
Any help would be great!
Thanks!
JoshThanks Alec!
Is there a way to get the print pool to print to both printers at the same time? With the pool it just switches the jobs between the two right?
I actually need to click Print once, and have it print on both printers.
Thanks for your help! -

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!
-StuActually, 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. -

Hi,
Need help on IDOC files created on application server.
For IDOCs of EDI type generally one file is created on application server for one idoc. Is there any way to create a common file for multiple IDOCs that are created in a batch job?
Thanking in anticipation
Sudhir BhateHi Sudhir;
Yes, it is a setting on the outbound parameters of the partner profile. In the section for "output mode," select "Collect IDocs." This link to help.sap.com describes the procedure:

Each line of a file to a single Idoc (one file to multiple IDoc)?
Hi Community,
I have a flat file with many lines. Each of these lines has the same structure and has to fill a separate IDoc. How can I configure XI that it creates for each line a separate IDoc?
I already found a blog to such a topic: File to Multiple IDocs (XSLT Mapping)
But thatu2019s not what I am looking for (or I do not get the Point).
I also tried to set u201CRecords per Messageu201D to 1. But that is not working to. :/
Maybe one of you guys has an idea?
Thanks in advance,
UdoHi Udo,
For instance if file structure is as follows:
<File>
<Header>
</Header>
<Item>
</Item>
<Item>
</Item>
</File>
Now if u want to genarate a new Idoc for each n every <Item> in the file. The Header Information is to be repeated for each IDOC as well.
Then allu need to do is import the idoc in XI, then take the idoc xsd and change the occurrence o..unbound and then create the external definition.
Look into this blog.
The specified item was not found.
Now use the external definition in your mapping instead of using the original IDOC. In your mapping map the item to IDOC, and for header data you have to use the useOneAsMany function.
Reward if found useful

Custom service only working with one file, not multiple ones
Hi,
I created a service in which I can resize selected images through photoshop and format them for the web. I was able to successfully place this into a contextualized menu, which is awesome for me.
However, when I select a group of files in the finder, secondary click, and run the service, the action only completes the first file. The other files remain open in photoshop (they do not get resized, or saved).
What am I doing wrong?
My service workflow looks like this:
Service recieves selected "image files" in "any application"
Save for Web:
save to: "a web folder I made for this practice"
use "Adobe photoshop CS
type: jpeg
constrain size to 800 X 800
Then the second part of the workflow is"Make names Web-Friendly.
I found these plugins on Apples download page, called "save for web 2.5"
Any help would be great.
Thanks!where i said one file.. i mean one file tipe ex: .M2T .jpg .mp4 etc

Help. Am not a techie, don't have a clue on fixing the issue. I open a pdf. and when i try to open another, the original one comes up. Same for printing. I can only open another pdf. after i reboot.
If you are not able to get Adobe Acrobat Reader to open .pdf files in the browser. Even after you check in prefs to show pdf files in the browser.
Make this modification for all versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader that show under this key.
-Note: Deleting the key and all subkeys for any older versions also seems to fix this problem. So if you see this key present,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\7.0\Originals
delete the 7.0 and all subkeys.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals
-Right click on Originals and choose NEW DWORD Value and name it bBrowserIntegration, hit enter,
double click on the new value and make sure the value is 1 -
SEPA file – how to create one file for multiple company codes
Dear experts,
My company has multiple company codes and they process automatic payments (F110) for multiple company codes in the same run.
The company wants to generate one SEPA file for all company codes.
In OBPM1 for SEPA format in the section ``Payment medium output devided by level of detail`` I unchecked everything (attached).
OBPM4 for SEPA format is showing `` No separation of payment medium output``.
Unfortunately, when I run automatic payments (F110) for multiple codes, multiple files for each company code are created.
Can anyone let me know how it is possible to create one SEPA file that will contain payments for multiple company codes?
Thank youHi Zara,
Please check in transaction DMEE your format tree (eg. SEPA_CT), 'DMEE tree: properties' - tab 'Sort/key field'. Is the Sort/key field 'ZBUKR' defined there with Level 1?
Please follow the recommendation of note http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1742584

I am using Acrobat 8 Professional. I was trying to print 3 worksheets from Excel file to PDF file, after I selected the Adobe PDF printer driver, the save as window pop up, I click save after I place the file name, after the pdf generated 2 pages, the save as window pop up again, I need to save the file in different name. After the print job is done, I need to combine two file manually without any error. Please find the attached file to try.
I have experienced this same problem with multipage excel files. Try this: instead of using 'print' then 'acrobat', create the pdf by choosing 'Adobe', then 'Create pdf' from excels ribbon (at the top). I use Excel 2007 so the same solution may not work for you. Best of luck.

Copy one file to multiple IDOCs in XI

XI receiving XML file with Sales order and customer information.
Using this file, first I have to create customer and then create sales order using same file if customer is created successfully.
Please advice how to solve above scenario
Thanks in advance,
Laxman.Try BPMPatternMulticastSerial BMP Pattern. You can first create the customer, then receive a response (If Sync) and then send the Sales Order. This uses the ForEach mode.
Hope this Helps to get you started! -
Hi
Firstly I have only been using this software for four days now, think its great fun, and that the response from the questions i have posted have been brilliant - thanks very much from this newby!
I have created a software demonstration that is about 100 slides long and about 12 Mb. It covers 6 separate areas, and i cannot decide if it would be better to use a single swf file (with a TOC) - my concern is that it will take ages to load especially on slow connection,
or whether to divide it up into the 6 areas, and have a menu swf with the six options on it so that users can decide which they want to view.
If I go for the latter, is there anyway to retain the menu swf open so that the options are always available?
Hope that makes sense
Thanks
AlexHi Alex
Certainly the six separate lessons would load much more quickly. You could accomplish this using the Aggregator tool that is installed with Captivate. To create an Aggregator project, click File > New > Aggregator Project...
Note that all your sub projects should be configured identically as far as the ActionScript version you are using (AS2 or AS3). You set that in Edit > Preferences > Project > Publish Settings.
As a final word, 100 slides is into what I call the danger zone for Captivate. We usually recommend that folks limit projects to 50-65 slides as a very broad and general rule-of-thumb guideline.
Cheers... Rick
