Printing Problem in Smartforms

Hello Experts,
I am having the problem with printing the data in smartform.
My question is, suppose my preview is containing 6 pages.
But when i am giving the print command it is printing onlyone page.
I have already used command line in my form.
Thanks
Swati.

This error is faced generlly when output type has not been assigned to the document type.In sales order Follow the path
Goto-Extras-Output-Header-Edit.
Here mention the output type and communication medium and save the document.
Now try to issue the output.
I assume that you have maintain the output determination procedure in SPRO.
this requires configuration.
Configure the copied program name for your output type & this entry must be there in table TNAPR. Only then you will be able to issue the output..
XXXX-----
when you are running the VF03 for seeing the print preview you have to do
Billing documents-->issue output to --> printer / screen
Now this is possible when the output type is already allotted for that .
For this check the navigation
Goto VF02 -> enter the invoice number , hit enter, from the Second screen
Goto>Header>output--> will land you to a table control screen.
Now here u need to give the output type and enter give the printer name in logical destination, and save.
Now do the Billing documents>issue output to->screen--> output type as 'ZXXX'
.and execute .
Reward points to all useful answers.

Print problem in SmartForm after upgradation.

Hello experts
iam getting a problem in printout from a Z program (Execution) in which some information regarding 'Delivery No.' and 'Invoice No.' is coming from VBFA table.
Can anyone tell me the reason for not getting the printout.
I was not getting the print preview either.
This problem is coming after we have shifted from oracle 9i to 10G. Previously it is running fine.
Even we have run that smartform alone without program and it was not working
please reply.
Regards
Yogesh Sharma

Hey Yogesh,
If you are just looking for the Document number then the tables
VBRP LIPS and VBAP are sufficient.
Please paste your select query for me to get a clear picture. anyways here is the flow
Table VBRP
VBRP-AUBEL = Sale order No
VBRP-AUPOS = Line item No
VBRP-VGBEL = Delivery order No
VBRP-VGPOS = Line item No
Table LIPS
LIPS-VGBEL = Sale Order No
LIPS-VGPOS = Line item No
Hope this helps

Regarding Printing problem in SMARTFORMS (BarCode)

Dear All
I am trying to print a barcode using SMART FORMS.
In SPAD , some standard printers are there. But I am trying to print the output in HP DeskJet 3050 , which is not in the list. And one more , I am able to print the ABAP List from SAP , but not the SMARTFORMS only.
Because when I see the SP01 , SMARTFORMS o/p are in the OTF format.
Or any other setting missing

Hi all
I got the answer.
In transaction SPAD,for the output device you are using check the values entered for fields "Host spool access method" & "Host Printer".
If the method is "F-printing on frontend", then the expected value for the Host Printer is "__default"
Thanks & Regards,

Printing Problem in Smartform Payslip

Dear All,
I have developed a payslip in smartform and it is working fine but when select the printer (set up by the Basis People) and click on the Print Preview or the Print Button it is giving the status as NO VENDOR SPECIFIED. and leaves to the selection screen.
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Shareef.

how do you know it is working fine before you printed or print preview?
I suspect that you are doing something in the SF that requires a vendor and it doesn't have it at the right time. I would say see where vendor may be required and put a break-point before it to see if the value is there.

Printing problem in Smartform

Hi All,
I am printing smartform in dot matrix printer so i have change my page format as per need but than also at right side of page, out put not coming.
So can anybody please tell me what change i should make for its proper working?
Thanks in advance....

Hi,
In smarform either in Attributes/Output options you have one option called left margin and Right margin. Set that option in smartform which works for entire form.
If you want only for one paragraph check out in the Styles. You can find the same option for each paragraph format.

Hi!
In your smartform
define Style for your smartform.
there create a paragraph format in which in the tab Indents and Spacing define the alignment as left-aligned .
save the style and activate it.
now go to your form and there where you are writing the text unit in that text node
go to the output options tab and rite your style name in the style input box.
then go to the general attributes tab and there in paragraph formats you can find your paragraph format that you have defined select in in the list box.
activate your form.
you will get the desired output.
Regards.

Problem with printing logo in smartforms

Hi guys,
we have a logo in a window, its working fine in print preview, however when printing the document its all black. The logo does not display, instead the window is blackened.
Please advise.

Hi freishz ,
When u r sayin 'document its all black' do u mean that the background of image is appearing black or it is completely black nothing is displayed?
I had faced similar problem in smartform,where i was gettin grey background of the logo...
For this, you need to edit the logo image first. open the logo image in ms paintbrush and save it as 256 color bitmap image. now upload this bitmap in sap using tcode se78.
Now use this logo......

Urgent!! Printing Barcode using smartforms

req: need to print barcode using smartforms.
【Settings】
The following settings are made already
1. Style ( paragraph, character type(Syatem Barcode ) )is created and activated (T-code:Smartforms)
2. In the smartform I used the above style to print barcode .
※TEXTTYPE = TEXT ELEMENT.
【Execution】
1. I run the smartform in test mode with setting any print parameters
2. Trigger print preview
【Problem】
1. I am getting only BAR's no barcodes.
The bracodes are not displayed properly.
If I test the same system barcode in SE73 it displayed properly.
Is there anyother settings are necessory?
Plz help me in solving the peoblem

Hi
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.
http://www.servopack.de/Files/HB/ZPLcommands.pdf.

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.

Printing graphics (via SmartForms?)

Hello,
I have problem with printing images via SmartForms. I know that I must firstly import graphics using SE78 transction and then use it in SmartForms. We would like to print small jpg images which represents rough preview of product in invoices, offers etc.
Problem is that we have tens of thousands of materials and each has a preview. All images are stored in DMS (KPro) so I thing that is inefficient to import all images again in SE78.
Does anybody know how to avoid converting all jpgs to tiffs and importing in SE78. Maybe some other printing solution than SmartForms?
Thanks a lot,
Zdenek

This is a common problem. To accomplish this you may need to resort to new BC-XDC interface which can convert non OTF/ALF output to PS/PCL and then feed to spooler, as spooler is not capable of dealing with other native formats such as images.
Another option is to use 3rd party OMS tools, or KPro/ArchiveLink mass printing solution "APS".

Address printing pb in smartforms

hi all,
I have problem in printing address in smartforms
In customer master if i choose country US, address is printing properly
If I choose Country IN, it is not printing.
please guinde me how to solve this issue.

Hi
Are you using an Address Node in the Smartform to print Addresses? Use an address node, in the address node pass the Address Number and it will display the address.
You can retreive the address number from the master table based on customer number and pass that variable to address node. You can use Program Lines to retreive the address number.

Vishwa.

Printer setup when SMARTFORM is printing

Hello guys.
I have a problem with smartform printing, when I make it, there is screen with printing input parameters like OutputDevice, Copies, Page selection, Print immediatelly etc. All of this parameters are stored in SSFCOMPOP structure, but there is no information about Frontend printer...
Frontend printer option I can confugure by RSPO_FRONTEND_PRINTERS_FOR_DEV fm, but there is a problem, how can I "send" it to smartform?
Thanks in advance.
Daniel

Any network printer can be defined as a SAPprinter and choose as output device.
And I know examples of output mailed as PDF:s instead of printed.
Sorry, but I don't know any way to choose LOCL printer in SAP as output device and then decide which PC printer I want to use.
