Printer settings for cheque printing

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have created one cheque leaf in smartform and am trying to print it, the data is getting trunketed.

My laptop has been configured to HP Laser Jet 3052 series printer.

And if I take the cheque printout in A4size then it is coming absolute, but when I put a cheque leaf of width 20.30CM and height

9.80 cm in the printer and give it for print then its of no point ,I mean its completely getting trunketed.

So please tell me do I or a Basis guy have to do any settings in SPAD or something?

If so then guide me what are all the settings to be done to get the cheque printed on the cheque leaf?

Thx

What is the 'Page format' (Form Attributes section) specified in Smartform?

You have to select the right page format, which should match with the Paper size on which you are planning to print cheques.

If page format with required dimension is not there, then you (or someone else probably basis consultant) have to create custom page format and assign that to device type of the printer(s) . This will also involve putting printer specific code to set correct page size on printer. All this will be done using SPAD transaction.

While testing the cheque printing check it on the printer on which cheques will be printed in Live system.

Hi,

What I have fond on a OSS notes regarding the check printing.

Check whether in your printer MICR fonts are available or not? Furthermore, a certain device type in SAP adapted for MICR must be specified for selecting the output device in Transaction SPAD.

Important note:

It is necessary to purchase either a printer with installed MICR fonts, MICR toner and a MICR toner sensor or to add the additional hardware (MICR DIMM/SIMM module, MICR toner and MICR toner sensor) to an existing printer before printing MICR documents. Installing hardware into a printer should always be carried out under the guidance of the manufacturer of the MICR add-on hardware.

SAPscript/Smart Forms supports this MICR solution which is based on Hewlett-Packard laser printers.
