unable to get chinese character in print preview or in printout

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus!

I have searched in SDN before posting this thread, as i could not able to find solution for my problem.

In VL02n - Delivery note - my user gives the customer part number sometimes in English and sometimes in Chinese.

Now i am facing the problem - i could not able to see any chinese characters in print preview ( it shows some garbage characters sometimes and sometimes #### ) and in printout - i see ####.

The things i have done is:

i have activated the multibyte functionality in local layout (ALT + F12) - I18N.

Checked the printer output device - in SPAD - the device type is 'CNSAPWIN : MS WINDOWS DRIVER VIA SAPLPD'.

In control panel - regional and lang. options - install east asian languages has got tick mark

So what else i need to do to get the chinese characters in print preview as well as in print out.

Thanks,

Sakthi Sri.

Hi,

Goto SPAD>click on button FUll admininstration in appl tool bar> select the tab 'Device Types'--> here give the device type name 'CNSAPWIN' & press enter, it take u to next screen. Here in attributes tab, in Printer character set block check the value of character set (it should be 8434) for chinese..

Hi Vishunu,

Now i could get the chinese characters in print preview.

And yes you are correct. I checked and the code is 8434 only. Do you have any idea what would be the problem?

Thanks.

may i know how you able to view it in PDF? or Are you using any higher PDF version?

Thanks.
