Printing Smartforms in JAPANESE langugae

Hi All,
I am Printing Japanese Output using SMARTFORMS. I have used NO_DIALOG in Control parameters so that Pop to select printer does not appear.
I have also passed my output device to OUTPUT options of smartforms but still it is not picking. It is showing JUNK characters.
Below is the code:
Set the Output options of Smartforms.
output_options-tdnewid = 'X'.
output_options-tdimmed = 'X'.
output_options-TDDEST = 'ZPJP'.
Set the language parameter
control_parameters-LANGU = v_lang.
control_parameters-no_dialog = 'X'.
control_parameters-device = 'PRINTER'.
Could you please help?
Thanks in Advance,
Shravan G.

Hi,
The Output Device 'ZPJP' must be configured to print the JAPANESE Characters..
contact ur BASIS team to resolve this or check the transaction SPAD for output device 'ZPJP'

SmartForms Printing Error for Japanese Characters

Hi,
I have an issue with Printing Japanese Characters in the SmartForm.
When I Print Preview the smartform I can see the characters in Japanese but when I Print the actual smartform in the printer, all I get is some junk characters like # and !.
I have the following setting in the smartform.
   Multi-Byte functionality enabled
   Character set used is Shift JIS
   Smartform created in language EN
   Translate to All Languages set to true
   No restriction on Language Control
   Smartstyles used has JPMINCHO fonts only
   Default Para is JPMINCHO
   Characters formatting has explicit JPMINCHO as font
   Login language is JA
   Printer is Local Printer with device type JPSAPWIN
When I debug the Smartform function module, the OTF Data Table (within the function) shows characters in Japanese (with codepage 8000) but then I look at the actual spool as a result of processing the function, it comes up as garbled.
Interestingly, I have exactly the same settings on another test smartform to print just 2 columns and it works well.
Not sure where I am going wrong.
Appreciate help on this issue.
Many Thanks
Krishnan

hi,
has anyone solved this problem? even i m facing the problem. me restating the problem as below:
in VF02 transaction, for billing document we are trying to print smartform. Our logon languagae is EN and the Output Type langugae is EN. In spool, we are getting the CORRECT format ie the texts that are maintained in Japanese are showing as Japanese characters while the whole smartform is in English format.
Our requirement is to PRINT (from printer) the texts that are maintained in Japanese should get printed in Japanese format. I know that this is problem with printer settings. The printer is printing perfectly fine as other documents in Japanese characters so its ensured that printer is enabled for Japanese.
I suppose some kind of setting needs to be done at SAP end so that printer recognises double-byte character set of Japanese.
Waiting for confirmation/ solution.
Thanks

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,

Printing SMARTFORMS

Hello Experts,
I am developing new SMARTFROM.
Requirement: On entering the Personnel number(s) on the selection it should print SMARTFORM. for one entry there are two page. so for 2 entries it should show 4 pages. It should work like mass printing.
Error: currently it is working for single entry. but when i entered multiple enteries on selection-screen in print-preview i can see only 2 pages for first. for viewing second entry i need to comback to Printer specification page.
how do i achieve if i enter 2 entries on selection-screen in print preview it should show 4 pages.
ie. for 1st entry two page and for 2nd entry last two page.

How to print Smartform in Draft mode.

HI all,
we are using Wipro LQ DSI 5232 printer, our problem is while printing smartform , its coming in Roman but it should come in Draft Mode.
When it goes to Roman mode the printing become very slow.
How to set in default Draft mode.
Regards,
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.

Unable to Print preview Chinese & Japanese Quotes in Portal

Hello,
We are using smartforms to display and print the quotations from portals. We can display languages other than Chinese and Japanese from portals. Though quotations can be displayed from Wingui for chinese and japanese languages.
For Chinese, I get an error message "There was a problem reading this document(15)" and further error is "Expected an array object" when I open the PDF and to surprise the text on scrolling vanishes. Printing works for Chinese but not all pages. Japanese PDF does display but is all gibberish.
Any one faced this situation
Prasad

Hi Prasad,
For Japanese and Chinese languages it will go through different code page.
Please check with GUI. May check in OSS.

help people
thanks & regards
Nitin

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
Regards

Problem during printing smartforms

Hi,
We are using Epson 9 pin printer for printing. We have custom page layout used in our sap script and smartforms with size 12 inch / 9 inch (80 column dot matrix printing).
We are using SWIN (windows default printing) driver. Problem we are facing are -
1. The second page doesnt start properly from scond page. It starts at the end og first page only.
2. If there are more than one page, then a blank page is printed after each page.
Please suggest how to contrl this and do printing setting in SAP.
RR

Hi,
Do you use a custom page format for the 12 x 9 inch page size? if so check the thread below.
Re: Correct preview, but wrong print out.
You probably also need to create the default windows page format.

Aidan

Printing smartform in Dot matrix printer

Hi ,
i am giveing the printout of the smartform in the dot matrix printer. But in the print out the template is not getting printed and in the second table i am getting extra lines in the table. Please give me any suggestions and is there any settings to be changed in the printer.
Warm Regards
Phani.

There may be some isssue with the loop used to printing the table ....
There might be only 2 reasons either there is loop repeating or not data is not cleared concentrate on this two issues only .
try debugging the table jus before printing .if its is fine , then
Sometimes even the problem with the print catridge could have resulted in this .

Print Smartforms in Inventory Management

Dear Sappers,
My client requires a lot of samrtform in INventory Management including SC DC, Stock Transfer DC, GR etc.GR Smartform is coming as per my configuration.But other smartforms are not coming as per y configuration.
When I see the material documnet in MB02.I saw all the o/p types are coming for the respective transaction.Foe ex: If i'm going for Stock Transfer Smartform Print, I can see all the O/P types in the material document.So when I'm going to Print in MB90, the smartform is not triggering and system is giving one message.
Output could not be displayed (it may not be complete) Message no. VN069
Same thing applicable to S/C DC and other smartforms.
Is there any link between movement types and O/P types with access sequence??
Is there any other settings are there to take print????
Our client requires a smartform for Sub Contract DC.It's developed.In Inventory management I've assigned the programme name and smartform name and made the necessary settings.Even though I made the print is not coming.
Can anybody tell me where I've done the mistake?
I've created my o/p copying the standard WLB3 and created my own.
IN general data I put access sequence as 0004 & in default value I put dispatch time as 3 and transmission medium as 1.I made Print parameter as 7 plant/ storage location.
In processing routine I put the necessary programme name and smartform name.
In NACE, I've taken ME - Inventory Management.Out O/P type and Trans/Event Type as WA, print Version 3, Print Item 3 and debit/Credit Indicator as H (Credit).
I assigned the Printer name there.
Apart from that I made the goods movement respect to plant and storage location as well as movement type.
Still my print is not coming.
Any suggestions.
Thanks & Regards
PKB
Edited by: Pranaya Barik on Oct 13, 2009 1:48 PM

Hi
I'm waiting for the reply still I'm not getting any suggestions from.
We've developed smart form for Sub Contract DC.I've made the necesssary settings for this. Still Smartform print is not coming.If anyone works on Smartform for S/C DC, tell me how to do the necessary settings to get print preview of S/C DC.
Waiting for the respond??

Font size incorrect when printing smartform

Hi,
I have a smartform containing many smaller windows with frames. One big window should show a word in grey and in big letters behind all the other windows.
In my smartstyles, I have used the font family "HELVE", font style bold and the size 72. When I print to a sap printer device, the word is printed in very small letters and in black. When I´m printing about LOCL and then on the same printer, the fontsize is correct.
What can I do to change that?
The second problem is, that the letters are shown over the frames of the other windows, but it should be completely in the background. I put the window with the backgorund letters as the first window on the screen to get it behind all others, but it´s not working....
Cheers Arne

there is some proble in printer setting.....
contect the basis person....
method for font size....
Define the paragraphs & character formats using SMARTSTYLES & use them in your smartform.
You have to give the smartstyle name in the Form attributes-->Output options for the formats to be used in your smartform.
frm ur pc only u can get this font file..
go to control panel , in tat go to font and select your desired font file..
now give the path of this font file in se73..
after doing that this file will be uploaded into ur SAP server.
Se73 - > True type font installation - > Font name - > specify the name of the font file - > execute

Issue in Printing Smartforms through Dotmatrix Printer

Hi,
I have a Smartform which has many tables. When I print it through a Laser printer it comes out fine. But when I direct it through the Epson 2090 a 24 pin head dotmatrix printer some lines in the tables are not getting printed.
May be it's that there is no room for printing line. What will be the best solution for this?, What's the best Font & Unit of Measure I should use? Or Anyother solution?
Thanks,
Kishan

Hi,
I have a very similar problem to the original posting. I have a SAPScript form that print fine on a HP Laser Jet printer. But we cannot get it to print correctly on a Epson DOT Matrix. We tried two different models and get the same bad results. The print size is smaller on the DOT matrix even though I am using the following printer initialization
# set to 10 CPI
0x1B0x50
# select LQ quality
0x1B0x780x01
# select non-proportional spacing
0x1B0x700x00
# set left margin to 0
0x1B0x6C0x00
# set right margin to 85
0x1B0x510x85
# cancel bottom margin
0x1B0x4F
It is also printing a hex value on the first line and has top, side, and botton margins of about 3/8 inch So apparently, it is ignoring the printer initialization. Note, I had also tried the same initializations using \e in place of the Epson Escape hex value \0x1B
