Printing Smartform on Letterhead Duplex

Hi,
I have a 2 page smartform that I am printing onto a letterhead and the paper is loaded so that the letterhead is aligned. I have now created another 1 page smartform, but when I print it it appears on the reverse of the letterhead.
The printer is set as duplex in SPAD and I have tried changing the print mode on each page, but I cant seem to reverse the 2 page smartform, or get the 1 page smartform on the opposite side.
What is the best way to do this?
Thanks,
Sam

Seems this was not an issue with the Smarform but the way the printer works as printing from Word had the same result. I inserted a blank second page to make it print on the correct side.

Smartforms output in Duplex mode

Hello Gems,
I have defined 3 pages and i had set all the pages to duplex mode.
I need to print set of instructions in my smartform output in duplex mode (front & back of page)
Page1 : next window is Page 2 and i have a command to print Instructions (page INST)
Page2 : next window is blank(or page 2) and i have a command to print conditions (page INST)
Page INST : Does not has main window and next page is Page 2.
My pages flow in the following way:
page1>Page INST>Page2
Page 1 & 2 have main windows.
I need to see the INSTRUCTONS on every page that is printed with data. But i am getting an extra page that is blank
with no INSTRUCTIONS at the back.
when i print, i am 1st page properly but also getting an xtra blank page with no INSTRUCTIONS on the back.
Can some one suggest me ?
Thanks
Dan

Hi,
Define a first page named FIRST for a form to be printed in duplex mode. You therefore set the Print mode in FIRST to D.
To make the duplex printing work correctly, you must define a second page FOLLOWER in which Print mode is left empty. In the form definition, you specify FOLLOWER as the follow-on page for FIRST and for itself as well.
Your text is then printed in duplex mode. FIRST switches the printer to duplex mode and forces printing of the first page on the front side of a new sheet. FOLLOWER accepts the duplex mode and sends no further mode print controls to the printer. The printer therefore alternately prints FOLLOWER pages on the fronts and backs of sheets.

Error while printing smartforms

Hi Friends,
I am getting error "Invalid value for parameter ARCHDEST" while printing smartforms. This is happening only in IDES server. In Development the same smartform is working normally. I have checked in transaction SU53, to see whether all the authorisations have been given for IDES server. There is no problem in authorisation also. So what might be the reason for this. Please give me the solution to solve this problem.
Thanks & Regards,
Ranjith

Hi Beginner,
In the layout you have taken window or layout taken the big width in that case only you will get this type error syntatically it shows correct when you exicute the smart from try to give the print or see the print preview you will get this error (suggestion is better to check the window sizes)
Thanks

Problem while printing smartform in dot matrix printer

Hi Experts,
When i am printing smartform using dot matrix printer only the last page prints but all the pages displays in print privew.
For example suppose there are three pages to be print 1/3, 2/3 , 3/3 , i get all the three pages in print privew as well as when i take its printout in laser printer i get all three pages as print, but when i am using dot matrix printer i get only the last page ie 3/3 as print.
Regards
Varun Sharma

Hai Varun,
If things are coming properly then its no more ABAP issue.
Need to check out with the BASIS team along with the IT / hardware department.
Just try to take print out on a other dotmatrix printer, if its somewhere close to you as usually they are heavy and large in size can't be moved.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,

How to print PDF few pages duplex but not all from one PDF Doc?

Hi,
We have a desktop application that we use and it gives instructions to printer which document to duplex and which to not. For easy understanding, in a PDF if there are 10 pages, i want to take first two pages whenever they are printed they go on duplex rest of 8 pages should print without duplex. I have a PDF of these 10 pages document and want to send via email to one, so that if he has duplex printer, he just send that PDF doc to printer and it automatically send first two pages duplexed then rest of 8 pages per paper. So finally he get 9 printed hard copies. My question is, is there any capability in PDF document we can apply per page that when go on printer it instructs to printer to duplex me or not. Like we have PDF properties associated with doc. Can we setup such property for each page? I know this is not a good question, but our business requies to send PDF to customers and we do save this to do ourself, How customer know which page to duplex then?
If there is any automated solution we can give to customers? The PDF each page take decision by its own when going on printer it says i have to go on back of the paper and the other says i won't have to be duplexed?

How to print Smartform in Draft mode.

Rahul.

Hi,
there is an SBO setting inside
Administation>System Init>Print preferences>Print Draft Watermark on Draft
Then a "DRAFT" watermark will appear if it's printed before adding.
In CR use a stored proc to get data back according to the Objectid@.
Then if its the object id of a draft then add a CR watermark.
Hope this helps.

OfficeJet 6500A - won't print correctly on letterhead

OE Vista
I am trying to print on a letterhead which has about a 3 inch dark picture at the top. The printer acts as if it is sensing the picture and it does not start printing until about half was down the page. It doesn't matter if I print directly from the program or if I put an original on the glass and try to make a copy onto the letterhead. There must be a setting I need to change but I can't find it.
THank you,

Does it only do this when you use the letterhead, or does it happen with other types of paper?

Abhishek Pandey.

Hi Abhishek,
In PAGE node u have Output Options Tab.
In Output Options U can find the field Print Mode
There u need to give the D.
Default: No change of print mode
S Begin new page in SIMPLEX mode (single-sided)
D Begin new page in DUPLEX mode (double-sided)
T Begin new page in TUMBLE DUPLEX mode (double-sided)
   DUPLEX:
     The current print mode is set to DUPLEX (double-sided print, long-edge
     binding) and a new page is started. A form page defined with DUPLEX is
     always printed on the front of the page, never on the back of the page.
     If the next form page contains the attribute value DEFAULT, it is output
     on the back of the page.

Printing multiple files in duplex mode: second on the back side

Hi,
I am having a strange problem. I use Snow Leopard on a Mac Book Pro. Typically, I use
duplex printing. This works fine. The only issue is: if I print two different documents and the back side is
free after the first page, then the second document is started on the BACK SIDE of the first.
This is of cause VERY annoying. I tried various options. Both in the print menu and using CUPS. They had no effect.
This happens both at home (using a SAMSUNG CLP 550) and at work (through a windows printer server) to a Dell Multifunction printer.
Now, I am basically out of options. Does anybody have a hint what this good be and how to repair duplex printing?
Thanks
Klaus

Hi,
thanks a lot for helping. It would be pity if this can not be corrected. After all this is no magic.
(Regarding Windows: my printer at home is certainly not high-end...
and the machine at the office was cheapest we could get from Dell with the functionality.
But this is a side issue, as I want to go Mac only. - I am still running continuously a Windows-VM and
I want to get rid of this. Would be a pain to do printing with Windows always.)
Inserting pages is not possible for PDFs. - And this is actually a major part of my prints..
Cheers

Header problem with photosmart 8180 when printing with company letterhead

I print many letters through MS Word 2003. When I print a letter on plain paper, it looks fine and is the correct distance (1 1/2") from the top of the page(s). Our letterhead consists of a 1" dark band with our logo included and our address across the bottom of the page. I then insert our letterhead to print a final, the printer moves the letter (date, name, address and body) down another 1", meaning the printer is using the bottom of the band to measure the top margin. It also ignores the bottom margin of 1" and just prints into the address, instead of going to the next page. Both types of paper are the same 8 1/2 X 11.
We have Konica network printer and I previously had a HP 930 printer and never have seen this before. I have uninstalled the printer and reinstalled and the only change I have made since is to change the the paper type, under "Print", "Properties", "Features", "Paper Type", from Automatic to Plain Paper. Neither helps.
I have an extended email list with HP Customer Care, telling me everything from installing a 990C driver (or virtual printer?) to have me check to make sure I knew how to load paper.
I then spent over an hour on the phone with an HP rep and even gave him control of my computer, to no avail. He thinks he fixed the problem by having me reduce the top margin, to say 1/2" and basically trick the printer into printing at the correct place below the band, but the second page is now too far up because of that.
I hope someone can help. I found it hard to believe that this has only happened to me.
Thanks for any help.

only the last check in the range is showing in the preview.
all other are bieng overwritten.
in the debugger i can see the values for all checks being assigned.

hi Nitin
just give a try with this .
create one loop and for that give your int_tab which holds the records of all the checks say 10 checks.
also create one program lines wherein you l set the flag to 1 whenever the itab count increases if not then set the flag to 0.
now inside the main window create one command node and check the go to new page checkbox and give your second(or next page) name , and in the conditions tab keep the flag = 1.
the extra work you need to do is you have to create one next page with all the same windows which will triggers for evry new line item.
hope it may be helpful to you.
plz reward points if helpful
