Rotate Smartform

Hello Exoerts,
I am printing a Smartform in Landscape format. When I take the print from a printer; the smartform rotate in anticlockwise direction if i compare it with a print in portrate format.
I want the Smartform to rotate in clockwise direction due to a special paper format(it has some peel off tags) on which we are taking print.
Plaese suggest a solution.
Thanks,
Pankaj Sharma

Don't use the ZEBRA command to rotate ... goto barcode definition (SE73) and create a "copy" of your barcode and set "ROTATE" here. example: Code128 h=10mm n=0.5 rotate
Don't forget to put this "new" barcode def. into SMARTSTYLES

Rotation of label using smartforms by 90 deg using zebra printer

Hi,
I am facing one problem using smartforms for label printing. Since the zebra printer which is being used requires 90 deg rotation of form for the normal smartform design. I have even tried using ZPL commands by using ^FWR command in the window attributes but the text within that window only gets rotated and each line gets overwritten on one another. Please let me know if it s possible to rotate the complete form in smartform for label printing using zebra printer.
Thanks and Regards
Anand

Rotate/rotating text in SmartForms

Need to rotate text 90 degrees in a SmartForm.
The printers are all PCL based.
New print-controls cannot be created.
In PCL, the following command sets rotation:
<ESC>&a#P
where # is the number of degrees
To rotate 90 degrees, the PCL command would be:
<ESC>&a90P
In SAPscript, I can use the print-control for <ESC>.
/: PRINT-CONTROL SESCP
= &a90P
Another method that works involves standard texts.
Define standard texts named ZPCLROTATE90 and ZPCLROTATE0.
They willl set the rotation to 90 and reset to 0 degrees.
/: PRINT-CONTROL SESCP
( &a90P
/: PRINT-CONTROL SESCP
( &a0P
The SAPscript uses the new standard text objects:
AS horizontal text
/: INCLUDE ZZPCLROTATE90 OBJECT TEXT ID ST
AS rotated text
/: INCLUDE ZZPCLROTATE0 OBJECT TEXT ID ST
AS horizontal again
This also works in SAPscript.
None of this seems to work in SmartForms. I thought the INCLUDE text would work the same in SmartForms. It does not.
Tried the first method shown; SmartForms converts the "=" or "(" paragraph symbol to "*". This separates the escape sequence and it becomes invalid.
Any ideas? They do not want to use SAPscript. Cannot create a Z print-control.
Thanks,
Norm

Hi,
   Try to follow the steps givenbelow in your SMARTFORM.
1. Create a template and keep the text alone inside that you wanted to rotate.
2. Above and Below your text, In the text element that you wanted to rotate give the Print control.
Ex PRINT CONTROL 'SF201'
     &variable text&
    PRINT CONTROL'SF202'
2. Create a command inside the window and enter the attribute name and the attribute value.
    Ex. Use Attribute name as S_LZPL_HR1
                 Attribute value as 'BC_CD39'
3 Create another command above the template and enter the value "SF200" in Include Printer control.
4.Create another command above the template and enter the value "SF202" in Include Printer control.
I followed the above procedure for rotation of texts, and it worked.
Thanks

Thanks & Regards,

Hi are u wondering about changing the page format from POTRAIT->LANDSCAPE in runtime environment.
Well use the following command: SLAND->Page orientation: Landscape
and SPORT->Page orientation: Portrait.
in Smartforms u can use the commands using the output control in Command Control , and in Sapscript u can do it by using the Function Module: CONTROL_FORM and use the command as the import statement.
Hope That Helps

90u00B0 grad rotation of label (Smartform)

Hallo Friends,
Problem:
In the smartform that I am working has Portrait format. But I want to print out using a Zebra printer in Landscape format (W=16cm; L=20cm) I mean just turn the print out 90 degree.
What I did:
So, I choose the checkbox LANDSCAPE format (DINA4) in the smartform. The printer still prints in Portrait
I then created a new Paper Format (W=16cm; L=20cm). On printing I get the error message: Zebra does not suppot paper format.
OSS tip:
After searching in OSS I got the hinweis 750772 which I implemented.
Problem:
After impletation of the OSS:- 750772 the labek printing was rotated 90° but output was totaly mogged up.
can someone help please.

Hello KPN,
Yes, I know about the sap-notes and have tried the tips too. However, the printout is all mugged up on the same line. This my problem. I will try with new-line command and see if the lines print would be seperated line for line.
Do you have an example for me, with screen shots etc?
However, thanks. I have given points
Blacky.

Smartforms: new barcodetechnology - additional (rotated) Text

Dear community,
I've a small problem while designing a new smartform form. I want to print a code 128 and I already created it with SE73 as a "system barcode" and I also chose the "new barcode technology" and as alignment "rotated".
In my form I defined the data for the barcode and formated them with the barcode data (deined in a smartstyle). When printing the form I get the barcode as defined.
But here comes my problem: I just get the barcode without any text. Is it possible to print a rotated text among the barcode? Is it a configuration in the barcode definition, or have I got to set some printcontrols?
Please help me to solve this problem!
Many thanks in anticipition...
Christian

Please help me! is there nobody with an idea?
Hope for answers...

Rotating uploaded font at Zebra in SmartForms

Hi.
I'm designing a label for a Zebra printer with smartforms.
I've uploaded a TrueType font to the printer and I've defined it at SAP at SE73.
I'm doing tests and when I put normal text at label, printer prints in landscape format, but when I'm trying to print with the TrueType font stored at the printer, it prints in portrait format.
I think may be was the font, but doing tests, I've seen than if I send a plain text file with commands:
^XA
^A@ZCSS2R,90,50
FDFFFS
^XZ
it rotate it well... How can I do it with smartforms?
The name of the font is ZCSS2.
Thanks in advance.

Rotating text with smartforms

I want to print text rotated 90 degrees. Does anyone know if this is possible (with standaard smartform commands).

The way to roatate text in smartforms is using the COMMAND node. The rotation of text takes place at the printer and cannot be viewed in the print preview.
Using the COMMAND node, Attribute to change the orientation to 90deg needs to be passed to the printer.
The Attributes are printer dependant.
e.g.
In the ZPL-II printer control language the attribute is S_LZPL_SETUP.
In this command node, enter the following under "spool control", "free attributes":
Attribute name: Attribute value:
S_LZPL_SETUP '^FWR'
For the particular printer you are using u would need to find the appropriate attibute and the value to set it to.

Zebra printing for smartforms

Hi
SAP version ecc6.0
I want to roate a single text on the lable by 270 degrees. I have searched this forum and came to know about including a print control. therfore for the device type lzeb2( 200 dpi print head) created a print control z270 with the following A0BFD.
description of the command
Description The ^A command specifies the font to use in a text field. ^A designates the
font for the current ^FD statement or field. The font specified by ^A is used only once for that
^FD entry. If a value for ^A is not specified again, the default ^CF font is used for the next
^FD entry.
Format ^Afo,h,w
This table identifies the parameters for this format:
Important u2022 Parameter f is required. If f is omitted it defaults to the last value of the ^CF
command.
Command Details
f = font name Accepted Values: A through Z, and 0 to 9
Any font in the printer (downloaded, EPROM, stored fonts, fonts A
through Z and 0 to 9).
o = field orientation Accepted Values:
N = normal
R = rotated 90 degrees (clockwise)
I = inverted 180 degrees
B = read from bottom up, 270 degrees
Default Value: the last accepted ^FW value or the ^FW default
^FD means field data
my questions
Do i have have to create a print control for 300 dpi printer or is there a differenet universal solution?
secondly with ^A i specify the type of font i use....i simply don't wont to be concerned with the type of font? I want to use what is used in the smartform?
thirdly the text to be printed it as the right hand side of the label so in order to see that the text gets printed i have to create
which simply exceeds the length of the label length, but it achieves the rotation and the printing is within the label itself...strange
do you guys have any alternative solution / recommendations
thanks
Sachin

correction for the below text in the thread
"thirdly the text to be printed it as the right hand side of the label so in order to see that the text gets printed i have to create

thirdly the text to be printed it as the right hand side of the label so in order to see that the text gets printed , i create a window
that is horizontal but exceeds the length of the lable, but usiing the aforementioned command prints the text roated by 270 degress and within the label, so the text printed is within the label.
I find it strange

Unable to print chinese characters in Smartforms use Zebra printer

Hi,all.
My printer is Zebra ZM400 300dpi,I created a new output device 'TestDevice' and use the Lzeb3 Device type.
In my smartofrms i used the Zebra command to rotated text.Now the smartforms counld not print chinese characters but '#' instead.(style font 'ANDALE_S')
Anyone could help me....
Thanks Advance.
Andy Lee.

Hello Andy,
If you use the device type LZEBU3 with font ANDALE_S, then when you print then the SAP system
send a print control for activating the ANDALE font installed on the printer, and the text should
be outputed over this font.
When you get # during print then this means that the device type or the SAP font don't support
this character(this was the original problem), when you get a "space" then this means that the
font which is used by the printer don't support this character.
I think this can have 2 causes in your case:
1. The SAP system use the print control SF000 when you use ANDALE_S, which contains
the print control ^CI17^F8 in HEX form. This should activate the ANDALE font on your printer.
(You can find this under tr. SE73 -> Printer Fonts -> LZEBU3 -> ANDALE_S)
You should check wheter this is the correct print control. You should find on the printer an option
which list you all installed fonts, and also the print control which can be used for activating it.
Compare this print control from the printer with the above print control from the SAP system.
If you see a differnce then change the print control in the SAP system.(Before you do that please
copy the device type LZEBU3 into customer namespace, don't change the original SAP device type)
2. The font installed on the printer don't support the character which you use. Contact Zebra to confirm this, and ask for a ANDALE font which supports the character.
Best regards,
Norbert

Printing 'material number' in vertical manner in smartforms

i am printing a smartforms where in the output i have to print a variable in the vertical format.... how can i rotate the variable to print it in the vertical manner... please do help me out.... its very urgent.....

Hi
if you want to print only 'material number' text in secondary window... make secondary window width minimal 1 ch and increase the height of window
you will get the result in Veritical. result for materi number.
if you want to print material number variable in mainwindow / seconarday window ,
Create a font using SE73 , go to System barcode - change mode
select the line "KUNAUNR Kundenauftragsnumme", dbclick. , you can see
no barcode type mentioned, like this, create new barcode sytem font and finally give the rotation % , we have 4 different %, 0, 90,180, 270, you this font in your character font/ paragraph font, you can get the result. but make sure printer should support this functionality
