Problem in smartforms - Duplex printing

Hi,
I am trying to use a smartform for duplex printing of pages.I have the following pages.
FIRST and OTHER are pages with the same main window
I have also created pages BACK and LAST which is used to print on the reverse page.
Page ->         Next page   ->   Mode           ->     Printmode
FIRST ->      BACK     ->        Initialise counter      ->     D ( Duplex )
BACK   ->     OTHER      ->       Increase counter     ->      Blank
OTHER ->    BACK     ->      Counter unchanged ->      D
I have created a command in MAIN window to call the LAST page
LAST ->     blank     ->   Counter unchanged         -> blank
I tried to print a document with 8 pages ( ie., 4 front page and 4 back page ) in a duplex printer.
Pages 3- 8 are printing fine with print on both sides. But page 1 and page 2 are getting printed in different pages. Any idea what is the issue with the first 2 pages?
Thanks and Regards

Hi Suba,
   when ever we want to print back side of a page, we need to assign "D" for the
   page we wanted to print on back side.
   for ex: there r 2 pages, first page and second page .
      1) if we define "D" for first page then it will print second page on back of first
          page.
      2) if we define "D" for both, then second page will start from new page(won't
          print on back side of first), but it can print second page both sides.
   in ur case,u defined FIRST and BACK pages as "D", but OTHER as default.
so remove Page mode "D" for BACK page.
hope this solves the problem.
Thanks
Dinakar.

Smartform duplex printing with tray resource

Hi All,
I am trying to set duplex printing from smartform. It works well only when I do not pass tray information in the Page output options. If I pass the resource name then I can't get the duplex printing to work. Is it possible to do both of them together? Please advice.
Thanks.
Edited by: Sat R on Jan 20, 2011 8:54 PM

I was able to get the duplex working by having tray resource only on the first page and keeping it clear on the next page.

Problem in Smartforms table printing

Hi Friends
I have a weird problem with printing the smartforms table.
The problem is as follows.
Suppose there are 10 rows (entries/records) in the table and the page can accomodate only first 5 rows, it automatically overflows into the next page. Now typically the table should print the next 5 entries. But, instead, only the 6th row is printed and the rest 4 rows are not printed.
Please advice.
Thanks
sam.

This is due to some technical reason in the ABAP. If you are passing the sorted table, you have to declare it as already sorted.
please read this
If in the form interface a tables was passed that was sorted before by the application, and it is now processed in the loop of a data node, you must again list the sort fields explicitly and, in addition, mark the checkbox "already sorted".
Due to technical reasons in ABAP, it is not possible to automtically pass the sort fields.

Problem with smartforms barcode printing

Hi,
In my smartforms i use a simply standard barcode (CD39__00)
for delivery number; but when i print there is no barcode, there is the dlivery number as number.
I'm in SAP ECC 6.0 so with the new barcode printing.
Where is the problem?
Thanks a lot.
Matteo

Hi - Sometimes if the height of bar code is small, then it prints the number instead of barcode. So please try to copy tht barcode into "Z" from se73 transaction and increase the height and then assign the new barcode to ur smartform. Doing this you will be getting the barcode printed on it.
Thanks
Arun Kumar
Ok, i create a new bar code bigger than the first one and now it's printed.
Thanks lot.

I am unable to select the collate option to print reports. This a problem when using duplex printing

Attempting to print multiple copies of a report using duplex printing

Selecting paper size in the first sreen tellis iPhoto what papery you are going to use - it does not tell the printer what paper to use - printer specific options on on the last (second or third if you customize the print) screen where you tell the print any specifics like paper source (typically printers need to you tell them where a specific paper is loaded - they do not really know the sizes in each paper tray)

Smartform duplex printing in SPOOL

We set the print mode to "D" in the form, and it prints correctly back-to-back online.
But if we send the output to spool, the printing is NOT back to back.
Any other special setting we need to make for spools?
Thanks in adv.

Problem with duplex printing in smartforms

I have 2 pages in my smartform. both the page are with print mode 'D'(Duplex).
While printing the first page goes back for duplex printing but the output is printed on next page.
I want the second page to be printed at backside.
I have also tried other combination 1st page = D and 2nd page = ''. Nothing is working.
printer settings are all right also i have a different smartform it is printing in duplex mode and working fine.
what is the issue with this smartform?
Please help me.

hi,
in your main window of first page at the end adda an alternative -true or false
in the alternative add a condition saying if it is end of items.(end of items is nothing but a flag).
if this condition satisfies then call page 2 else call page1.
if it stil does not work then reply back then will give you another answer.
but before this is your output going to have multiple pages?

Issue with character formats using duplex printing in smartform

Hi all,
I am getting a problem with character formats using duplex printing in smartform. I am using a text module with a bold character to display text in a window. The problem is that on the first back page,the text is being printed normally (without bold), but on the next pages, the back pages are being printed with the bold character format.
Can anyone know where is the problem..please.
Points to be rewarded..
Thanks.
Regards,
Zaheed.

Hi Zaheed,
Normally this should not happen.. and also there is no internal formatting done by SAP.. it will show based on what fomatting option we have specified..
If you are saying it is happening in ur case then
     1. Recheck whether whether you have same text module getting printed on the
         two page. If they are different then then individual check formatting option for
         each..
      2. If above point does'nt work for you ..then instead of bold char use normal
          format for text element and see if it is printing same on both page..
Try this out and let us know your findings...
Enjoy SAP.

Duplex printing problem with hp 9500 (right side always just half printed)

Since OS X 10.6 was released there is a problem with the print out of duplex printed pages (specially via Indesign CS4 broschure printing function). Using Mac OS X 10.5.8 with old and new driver everything is fine - but under 10.6, 10.6.1 or 10.6.2 neither old nor one of the new driver releases 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3 will work.
When I´m trying to print a duplex printing page the print of the right page will be cutted off at the half of the page - like the page would not print A3 horizontally but vertically (so the rest is cut off). The new print features within the printing menu (manual duplex print and print broschure will have same effect but with a strange miniaturization to A5 - although it should be A4). All in all the is no way to print out a duplex printing with OS X 10.6 and hp 9500. Will there be any solution in sight? Are there other with the same effect?

I have an identical issue to neuegestaltung, but with an HP 5500. I can print single-sided to A3/tabloid successfully but when I try printing duplex the right quarter of the page is cut off on both sides - almost as if it thinks it's printing portrait.
Applications affected include Adobe Acrobat 8 and 9, Adobe CS3 and CS4 applications including InDesign.
Preview works fine, but of course the colour balance makes the output unusable.
OS 10.6.2, print driver HP Color LaserJet 5500 v 3010.107.
Using the Gutenprint driver I can't either do A3 or colour so there is no solution there.
Worked fully and correctly with the same apps under 10.5.x.
At the moment I am running Windows XP under VMWare to print from Acrobat, which is plainly silly.
Any useful* observations, suggestions or workarounds welcome.
*Needless to say, "It's Adobe's problem" or similar are not acceptable responses. It may well be an interaction between the Adobe's applications and Apple's printing system and/or driver of course; in that case the companies need to collaborate to solve the issue.

Pages: Special problem with duplex printing on hp310c

I used to produce and print double sided flyers with pages on my ipad4. My HP 310c printer is ready to print duplex. Everything worked fine until I loaded the IOS7 version of pages (Nov 13). Now there are problems. If I fold the flyer the second page is printed up side down. After some research in internet it seems to me that until the IOS 7 version pages had as default setting "flip on short edge" and now it changed to "flip on long edge". The mac version of pages allows you to toggle between this options (duplex printing). I see no way to change this on my ipad.
The problem seems to be a little bit tricky, but perhaps there is anybody out there to help me.
Thanks Manfred

TThat is my problem also. You are flipping to the long side, you need to flip to the short side. I order to get the back one to be right side up. I was able to get windows 8 to do that today without doing anything beside selecting landscape and flip to short side. But when I use my iPad I donot have that selection. I need software to be able to have that option.

C9295A Duplex Printing Problem

I have been successfully using the C9295A (Officeject 6000, E609n) wireless printer for eleven months. Set up wireless, connected with win 7 PCs and laptop. Primarily used for duplex printing and has worked very well.
Several weeks ago it started having errors when printing, almost exclusively when trying to use the duplex printing. The first page would print normally while the second side would print only about the bottom inch. Each time it failed there was an error showing in the print queue (Error: Sent to Printer) and subsequent print jobs would fail until that was cleared. Didn't matter which machine I used. Connected with ethernet and had the same problem. Used with wired PC and ethernet and still had the same problem.
Used downloaded printer troubleshooter and network troubleshooters from HP. They did not detect problems. Reinstalled software on two machines with no change. Had a network port error after that, but said to reboot and try again and it passed. Printer is set up on a WDS port.
I did notice that if I printed a large job (say 10 pages) with duplex it would print most of it correctly. Have also had some failures where a single page would fail, usually when printing graphics.
I can't seem to find my specific failure in any of the troubleshooting pages. I have seen the same symptom in some older posts concerning IE8 printing but I use firefox. Also the problem is the same whether from Word, a PDF document or a browser.
Has anyone seen a similar problem?Kind of seems like it is having problems keeping the info in memory in the printer. Is that possible?
Lastly, I haven't yet figured out how I get help with my printer under warranty. The HP site just keeps sending me back to troubleshooting pages. They don't recognize my serial number (even though it is registered) and their program to detect it fails. When I tried to use the "contact by email" link it just brought me back to the "check warranty" page which, of course, fails. Anyone have any insight there?
Can't believe I worked for this company for 29 years and still can't figure out their website - guess it doesn't say much for the "ease of use".
bobf

Again, thanks. I also contacted Canon and they suggested I delete the driver and reinstall from their website. I did that it worked.
For anyone with a similar problem here is the link and instructions from Canon:
Remove the current driver from printers and scanners. Highlight the MX920 series and click the -. Download the latest driver from our support site.
http://www.canon.co.uk/Support/Consumer_Products/products/Fax__Multifunctionals/ InkJet/PIXMA_MX_series/MX925.aspx?DLtcmuri=tcm:14-1099303&page=1&type=download
Install the driver and add the printer in printers and scanners. When you select the MX920 series printer confirm that MX920 is listed under “print using” and then add. When this is complete, try to print.

HP Photosmart C410a All-in-One: Duplex Printing Problem

I just purchased an HP Photosmart Premium Fax C410a ePrinter. My operating system is Windows 7.
All went well until I tried duplex printing of a document. It printed alright, but extra margin space (a good 1/2 inch) was inserted like a border at the top and bottom (but not the sides) of both front and back of each page. This squeezing of the text causes the font size to be reduced and leaves undesirable white space. This happens with both manual and automatic duplex printing.
I spent hours chatting and talking with HP support technicians while they tried many things to solve the problem, all to no avail. They suggested I return the printer and get another one, which I did, but the second one has the same problem.
Has anybody out there run into this problem with the C410? I would appreciate any help I could get, including from someone at HP. I strongly suspect this is a defect in the software.

One of the common issues with automatic duplexing, is the requirement of increased margins due to the way that the process works. It is not a defect, it is simply the way that the process needs to ensure print quality when auto duplexing. In contrast, manual duplexing does not have the same needs, as it draws directly from the tray. From testing of other brands, I can say that I have seen the margin issue occur with other manufacturers as well. Seems to be a necessary evil when auto duplexing.

Duplex printing problem in Word 2010 but NOT in Excel 2010

At the risk of repeating an old question :
I have Windows 7 Pro, Office Professional 2010 and an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus and two sided printing is a problem in Word.
Excel prints in Duplex by selecting "Print on both sides / Flip pages on short edge".
Word, though, with the exact same Setting, fails and the document is printed one two sheets of paper ... one side only. Seems rather bizarre.
Help would be appreciated.
Neil

Hi,
Which Word 2010 version do you use? Please try the Word 2010 14.0.4760.1000 version(We may upgrade or downgrade the version by install or uninstall the patches).
Next, we may try the workarounds which provide by other communicators, I copied here:
Workaround1:
File then Print
Go ahead and select manual print on both sides
Go to page setup, print options, and the advanced tab. Go all the way down and select "Print on the front of the sheet for duplex printing."
After printing the first set, I was able to just turn it 180 degrees and it worked just fine.
Workaround2:
As a work around I found if I ignore Words "Settings" and instead go into my printer properties, select the Finishing Tab, and select "Print on Both Sides (Manually)", the document will duplex print correctly. Requires 5 steps instead of 3

Duplex Printing Problem - Word 2007, Vista and HP Officejet Pro L7780

I'm having trouble with duplex printing on my new HP Officejet Pro L7780, from Word 2007, running on a brand new Vista system. I've also had this same problem (repeatable) with two other computers, running XP Professional/Word 2003, XP Home/Word 2003. All of the service packs have been installed for the operating system, word, and printer.
If you print a landscape document, using the auto duplex setting for the HP printer, the margins will print out offset by .25 inches, on the left and rigt margins. So if your margin is 1 inches on right and left, the margins will print to .75 on one side and 1.25 on the other. This would be annoying, except that I'm trying to print brochures and books, which requires that the pages print out exactly as set up... "close enough" isn't working for me
The way I have replicated this problem is as follows: set up a document in landscape format, using the default margins. Insert an image on page one, size it so it takes the full margin area. On the second page, fill it up with text. Print the document, selecting the printer properties and setting Print on Both Sides=Automatic. The easiest way see the problem is by holding the document up to the light. The front and back margins should match and they don't.
Any help you can provide would be very much appreciated.
Diana

Diana,
This problem is perhaps much larger than you might have imagined. We have tried to work with Hewlett Packard for over two years on the duplex printing problems. In the process, we have expended over 100 hours of effort in troubleshooting the problem which has included updating software, reinstalling software, developing test documents, escalating issues, submitting technical findings, and in purchasing replacements. Unfortunately, our efforts to interact with Hewlett Packard excalated support have resulted in an aire of apathy, disinterest, incompetence, frustration, redundancy, occasional discourtesy, and an outright lack of professional decorum - something inconceivable of a large, reputable company.
We have identified several problems with duplex printing. The duplex printing problems include irregular margin increases (.25 to .50 inch), margin shifts, cut-off text, compressed text, and compressed graphics. Please note that most of these problems are only evident when printing documents from computer applications to the printer. If the user simply uses the front printer panel to copy in duplex mode, these problems are not always evident. This suggests that the printer mechanics are capable of properly duplexing and that the problem lies in the drivers.
The problem is evident on the HP OfficeJet Pro L7780, Photosmart L7180, Photosmart C6150, Photosmart 3310, and likely on many, many other HP models. The problem is evident on many computers (HP, IBM, Toshiba, and Dell), is evident in multiple applicatons (Word, Wordperfect, Excel, Peachtree, Notepad, and many more), and is evident on multiple operating systems (Windows XP Home, Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Media Center Edition, and Microsoft Vista).
We consider ourselves to be extremely polite, patient individuals, but have nearly been driven to outrage by the indignant disregard offered us by HP's escalation support department; a department which should represent the cream-of-the-crop in both service and technical expertise. Given the ease with which the problem can be duplicated, we expected an extremely quick resolution by HP who, to our knowledge, has never even made the effort to duplicate the problem in-house on our behalf.
Ironically, HP highly advertises their J.D. Powers rated technical support, yet it appears that they actually have extremely poor published consumer rankings in some of today's mainstream computer magazines. HP technical support makes no apologies for the fact the user cannot use a major feature of their printers, offers no indication that the problem is even being addressed, and off-loads the responsibility by suggesting that we contact Microsoft (who is to blame for this issue).
Thank you, Diane, for your message. We had a hard time imagining that we were the only one experiencing this problem, especially when HP promotes such a representation. Which also begs the question why HP plays like the problem does not even exist? I also fail to understand why HP technical support shows so little interest in a problem that is easily duplicated and adversely affects a major feature of the printer which is commonly used by individuals purchasing equipment for its duplex capabilities.
This is sad because we have been a loyal customer of HP for over twenty-five years. There was a time when we would have happily endorsed HP's steller products and steller support (provided you could get a problem escalated). Now, however, they all-too-often appear to offer equipment that fails to support advertised features which is backed up by sub-standard support and extremely expensive ink. This is an especially sad commentary for users who are buying HP's upper-end printers and computers.
We desire to know if there are others out there experiencing similar problems? If you have experienced these problems or would like samples of the problems we have duplicated, please respond. I think the more information we gather, the better our chance of a successful resolution to a serious problem.
Thanks Everyone!

Duplex printing problem with Reader Upgrade

I upgraded Acrobat Reader 10.1.8 to 11.0.4 and can no longer access fast or duplex printing for PDF's. I have a Canon MP970 printer for 3 years and have always been able to do both fast printing and duplex printing of PDF's.
