Output printing from specific printer tray

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have a printer with each tray containing different paper, in our case it is the color. Based on the output we want to print, we want it to come out on a paper from a particular tray so that outputs of type X are on yellow, and type Y on pink etc. Can we accomplish this through printer definition within SAP or we are doomed to writing ABAP of some kind and passing commands "behind the scenes?"

Thank you,

Mike

HI

I think this would require programming to determine the tray to be used.The problem is that each printer model can have different tray selection commands that are required.Also, if the form is used across multiple areas,each area might have different models.

However,for a single printer YES,the form would have to be specific to the printer being used.

We have the same problem for invoice printing. The settings in the SPAD will not work!
