Print ABAP List to Ledger size paper

[michael_vollmer2]

Having a problem getting ALV to print to Ledger.

I've create a Page format ZLEDGER (11x17)

a Format Type ZLEDGERALV

Assigned this to my Device Type., and copied the Actions for 65x255 Format

I assigned my Device Type to an OUtput type where I;ve set my default paper tray to Tray 4, and Assigned ZLEDGER to Tray 4.

When I attempt to print, the printer asks for "Letter" on on Tray 4.

Any ideas.

Could you paste the action for paper selection, and which Printer Description Language is it?

[michael_vollmer2 · Accepted solution]

Where would i find that, in the Printer Initialization?

[Sandra_Rossi · Accepted solution]

exactly. If you don't know where it is, paste the whole printer initialization.

Note: in PCL, selecting the page size is the <ESC> & l # A command:

Letter = <ESC>&l2A

Ledger = <ESC>&l6A

However, I've tried this before, and it did not work.. the only time I was able to get the the command &l6A recognized is if I put it in the First Page file.

1. enter PJL mode and switch to PCL language

Be careful, you have to put it after the RESET command

and also not in the PJL section, as it is a PCL command
