print f110 epson

[Former Member]

We are having a problem printing checks from transaction f110. We try to use sapscript, but we canu2019t print in landscape format. The printer we are using is EPSON TM-U295P and there are no compatible SAP drivers for it. We try to execute a program that is in the client machine (called from the printer program that is called by transaction f110), so that it prints the document using the method cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute, but that is not working. Any help would by appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Firstly, Orientation 'Lanscape Format' should be selected in the Sapscript form Basic Settings.

Otherwise, this can be a problem of the device type used to print. I guess you use a device type like EPESCP9

if you check the fonts for device type EPESCP9 via se73, you will see:

se73 -> Printer Fonts -> EPESCP9

Device type Family Font size Bold Italic CPI PrtCtl.1 PrtCtl.2

EPESCP9 COURIER 060 20.00 SF013

EPESCP9 COURIER 060 20.00 SF014

EPESCP9 COURIER 060 20.00 SF015

....

The column 'PrtCtl.2' is empty. Column PrtCtl.1 contains commands for portrait and PrtCtl.2 contains commands for landscape. The print controls contain the command sequences to tell the printer to switch on the mentioned font. e.g. for Courier 10pt normal, the print control SF005 contains the command to tell the printer to switch to this font.

The print controls in the column 'PrtCtl.1' contain the command sequences for Portrait and those in column 'PrtCtl.2' contain the commands for landscape.

So for landscape there is no command. Please copy the print controls into the corresponding position in column 'PrtCtl.2'. i.e. it should look like:

Device type Family Font size Bold Italic CPI PrtCtl.1 PrtCtl.2

EPESCP9 COURIER 060 20.00 SF013 SF013

EPESCP9 COURIER 060 20.00 SF014 SF014

EPESCP9 COURIER 060 20.00 SF015 SF015

EPESCP9 COURIER 060 20.00 SF016 SF016
