SWINCF and printer trays

Hi Guys,
We have a SAP Script Form that we normally print on a HP Laserjet Printer(device type HPLJ5) first page on printer tray2 all others on tray3 because in one tray is preprinted paper.
Now we have to print that form in vietnamese language therefore we have to take device type SWINCF with a SAPsprint Server.
The Problem is that the SWINCF is not recognizing the printer trays. It prints all from the second tray. We read all the sap note to this problem. If we turn the device type back to HPLJ5 tray selection working but of course the letters are wrong.
Our work around was to define in windows a Printer qeue (with the original HP driver) with the Option first page Tray3 all other pages from tray2. But that also not working out of SAP. Out of ms word, notes,... it's working. It looks like that SAP is overriding this setting.
I really hope somebody can help me.
Thanks

Hi Aidan,
That was a great Idea! Many Thanks.
I costed me hours to try all the printer driver but it I was successful.
Here my solution:
I changed my windows driver to the standard Win Server 2003 included HP Laserjet 4. I reseted the printer to factory settings. Without reseting it was not working.
Then I took the sap tray test program to identify which tray which number has. It's a standard test. Go to transaction SO10 and enter textname SAPSCRIPT-TRAYTEST. After that I changed the tray control number (try01,...) in the program.
Now It's working.

Specifying number of copies and printer trays

Hi,
can anyone tell me if there is a way, within CR, to specify the number of copies of a report to print and to direct the copies to specific printer trays i.e. copy one prints to printer tray one, copy two prints to printer tray 2.
Thanks,
Noel

You'd have to create an application using .NET or Java to do this.

Bursting and printer trays

Hi, we are using BI Publisher Bursting (release 11.5.3) to split a range of invoices into smaller PDF files. Now the first page of each invoice should be printed from tray 1, the rest from tray 2 (for that reason we are first bursting the file).
Currently we are using the Delivery Request API to specify printer trays. However, the submit process takes about 10-12 seconds for each request.
If we have about 100 invoices in our file and print to two trays we submit 100x2 requests (sequentially) taking between 2000 and 2400 seconds (33-40 minutes!).
This is way too slow.
We would prefer to specify the trays directly in the bursting control file. Is this possible?
A related issue may be that the printers used are postscript printers. We use the pdftops filter in the delivery manager to convert the PDF to PS before they are printed and we use CUPS printing. If we print directly using bursting, would it be possible to print the PDF to the PS CUPS printer??
Does anyone else have had these performance problems using the delivery manager?
PS: We pass a directory and a prefix for the range of files we want to print (for example MYFILES_*) (among other parameters ofcourse like the pdftops command and the output type to indicate whether it can be PDF or must be PS). I assume this is the way to use the delivery manager? Or is someone else doing this differently?

Set printer tray and page size

hi every body
i create two reports and i want to print these reports from different printer trays for excemple first report from (upper papaer tray) and second from (lower paper tray)i want all of this automaticaly user can not select tray at runtime print automaticaly goes to set tray by default
second problum is i create report on legal size when i run report in runtime the page setup shows letter size
how can i solve these problums
thanks in advance
allah hafiz

Hi Faiz,
There are 2 places where you need to worry about paper size in your report:
1. When you design the report, you need to make sure that your report is designed according to the paper size that you would finally print on. For this, you first set Reports properties "width" and "height", and then design your report such that everything fits in this size. This has nothing to do with what physical paper size is chosen by the printer at runtime. This merely ensures that the report will be formatted according to the report width and height that you have set.
If at runtime, your actual paper size in the printer is different (eg, you design according to legal, but you printer contains letter), you can use the property PAGESIZE in your command line to dynamically change the paper size in your report, and Reports will try to format your report accordingly. Again, this property PAGESIZE does not switch the physical paper in the printer. It only ensures that the report is formatted according to what you specify as width and height.
2. You want to set the "physical" paper size that the report will finally print on. This is controlled by the printer. In reports, you can control which tray should be chosen, but you cannot control what physical paper size it should print on. This is controlled by the printer. Report will print on the paper size that is present in the relevant printer tray.

Default print tray keeps reverting to Tray 1, asking for glossy paper on HP P3015

We have a new HP P3015 at work, and a few days ago it started defaulting to Tray 1, and asking for Glossy paper. I have followed all onscreen instructions for changing print tray multiple times, and tried hard booting the printer a couple of times. There is no paper in Tray 1, and it is shut. For each print job, I must walk over to the printer and press OK to change print trays, and OK again to print. How can I clear these settings so that the printer will revert to printing from Trays 2 and 3 without having to walk over and change it for every job?
It also started printing much more slowly that when we first set it up a couple of months ago.

switch off the printer, take the paper out of the tray, reassemble the paper properly, then put the paper back and switch on the printer, it should work
or just change the paper specificationo in A4 legal paper it should work then

My printer suddenly started refusing to print normal jobs on standard 8 1/2 x 11 paper.

Paper size or type is incorrect." I have no idea what is causing this problem. It had printed perfectly up until now, but it has given the same error message for the last several different job attempts, and I'm stumped.
I look into the printer from the paper tray and above, and see no obstruction. Any ideas?

How to print to a specific printer tray

Post Author: hoochpit
CA Forum: Administration
I have a customer that wants the same report to print to different printer trays depending on parameters sent it. We have no problem recognizing which tray it should go to, but cannot get it to print to the tray that is specified. It just prints to the same defualt tray every time. They are running BOXI on a Windows OS. Any direction would be great.

Can you post some code? How are you getting you PCL to the printer?
Take a look at the javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaTray print request attribute and see if that will help.
Also take a look at my comments here: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5227412

Is there a way to change the default print tray on an HP LaserJet 500 color M551 Printer

Hi
Is there a way to setup the default print tray for a HP LaserJet 500 color M551 printer to be tray 2 printing both online and direct?
If so what would be the best way to go about implementing it?
Thanks
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Usually, you can change the default paper trays through the control panel and through the Embedded Web server (EWS).
Check the settings on your control panel. Here is a link to the User Guide, check out page 94 and see if that helps you out.
m551 User Guide
For the EWS, put the printer IP address into your browser, then go to the tab that would list tray settings. Not sure exactly which tab has it for this printer series, but on other printer series it is on the system tab under paper setup.

Dynamically switch printer tray from concurrent program in Oracle Apps 11i

Hi All,
We have a requirement to dynamically switch printer tray from concurrent program .
In the application we had a printer "*Printer1*" defined ,the printer (physical) printer have two trays and it always pick paper from Lower tray
To test the functionality I created one more defination " *Printer2*" in the application .
For this second printer created one more PPd files Printer2PPD2 . In this Printer2PPD2 the value of DefaultInputSlot i gave as Upper,so that printer will pick paper from upper tray
As we are having the PASTA configuration hence in the "uiprint.txt" entered the definations for Printer2 and also mentioned the PPD file.
So in the concurrent program i selected Printer2 and executed the program.But instead of picking from upper tray it picked from lower tray.
I could know this because in upper tray I had counted the number of papers so if the paper would have been picked ,the count would have reduced by 1.
Please let me know the solution for this issue.
Thanks and Regards
Jaydeep

SAPScript and dynamic tray selection

Hi,
A customer of mine has 2 identical SAPScript layout sets defined with 1 minor difference - within the page attributes a different printer tray has been defined (attribute called resource name) in order to choose a different printer tray ...
I was wondering wether this value could not be dynamically set by the SAPScript output program (when opening the layout set or using a specific command) ?
I didn't really find any special function or parameter in the open_form function module ... I find it a shame that only for the tray functionality we have to maintain 2 layout sets ...
Or can this be achieved in a total different way?
Thanks,
Steven

I am not sure if you can change Tray attribute on a page dynamically from print program.
But I have a suggestion, Why don't you create two pages identical in one single SAPScript just with the Tray different on each one. And call appropriate page while printing dynamically from your program using Function "CONTROL_FORM".
Advantage in this approach is, you do not need to maintain two different SAPScripts. And all code maintenance in SAPScript is common to both the pages, so do not need to make changes twice.
Limitation is if you resize any window in one page need to do the same on the other page too. This is still OK because usually you do not resize as often as you make changes in the code.

Regarding Printer Tray Selection while running BI Publisher Report.

Hi All,
Below is my requirement.
When ever user tries to run the report, based on the customer code the printer tray has to be passed to printer so that the report gets printed by selecting the paper from the same tray. Each printer tray will have different paper color.
Let me know how can I achieve this? Its very urgent..
Thanks
Babu

hi,
Just now i identified that its not deleting the report but its reverting back the report to its previous version. Let me explain it you in details:
suppose i created a report with following query source as Oracle Database:
select territory_code from fnd_territories_tl
where LANGUAGE = USERENV ('Lang')
now if i modify the query in the same report to following query:
<dataTemplate name="dunningLetter" description="Dunning Letter Report" dataSourceRef="IPOVIS" defaultPackage="xx_shpckt_init" Version="1.0">
<parameters>
<parameter name="p_order_number" dataType="character"/>
</parameters>
<dataQuery>
<sqlStatement name="Q1">
<![CDATA[select order_number from oe_order_headers where order_number = :p_order_number
]]>
</sqlStatement>
</dataQuery>
<dataTrigger name="beforeReport" source="xx_shpckt_init.beforeReportTrigger"/>
</dataTemplate>
and then if i run the report again, the report will still show the result of previous query!! and then if i go back to data model then it will show the previous query there!! not sure why is it doing this way?? Also sometimes, when i create a new report and then view the result then it will revert its previous stage i.e report without Data model, LOVs and parameters!! That is the reason i thought its deleting the report while running report.
Please suggest why is it acting this way? Appreciate your help and time.
Thanks,
Regards,
AS
