Sap Script Print Problem Using Dot matrix Printer..

[Former Member]

Hi Expert,

I have done the Vendor cheque payment printing program using the sap script. While I am taking the printout it is working fine. They correctly print at the exact place.

The problem we face is, while using the DOT matrix printer and when it is printed continuously, using the t.code f-58 we print the vendor payment. For first vendor it is printing properly / correctly.

After that using the same t.code when we print for other vendor's, then we get the problem. While printing the top margin moves up by 1 inch (going up) and

after that all print outs are misaligned. We get this printing problem while the paper is feed into the printer continuously. Can any one please tell me how to solve this problem..

anything wrong in the page format or is it a printer setting problem? Kindly suggest me.

Regards,

Dhina..

Hi,

If ypu create a custom page format in a windows device type like SAPWIN, then there is no need to enter commands into the printer initialization section. For actions End of page and End of line, you need to enter /f and /n. Check the entries in the standard format DINA4. They need to be the same.

When you create a custom page format with SAPWIN, no command is sent to the printer. In this case the default page format in windows for the printer is used. So you need to set the custom page size for the printer as default at windows level. The following SAP note describes how to create a page format at windows level and assign as the default for your printer:

\e\0x43\0x48

1. cancel bottom margin

Hi Aidan,

In my client using FX-2175 Dot matrix printer for EPSON.

Previously they are using Device type SWIN that time the Page skipping problem will raised.

Then I changed the device type EPESCP9 that time the page skipping problem will resolved but the font will be displayed

big size so the alignment changed.

so , i want to change the font size in paragraph format? that is not advisable right?

how can i solve this Please give some advise abt that..

Thanks & Regards,

Dhina..

Hi Dhina,

You mention that when yu changed the device type to EPESCP9, the font size changed. This is probably because only font COURIER and LNPRINT are supported by EPESCP9 and only certain font sizes . See SE73 -> Printer Fonts -> EPESCP9. So a substitute font and size are used.

So it may help to reduce the font size t match a size that is supported by EPESCP9. Also, as I mentioned, it should work to create a windows page format and assisgn it as default to the printer at windows level.

Hi,

In addition to the custom page format with the correct page height, it is probably necessary to change the commands sent to the printer for the page height in the printer initialization of the page format within the device type.

SPAD -> Full Admin -> Device Types -> <Device Type> -> Formats -> <Format> -> Printer Initialization

Hi,

Check the page size and page format is same as the size of the cheque.

Also ask your basis team to check the output device settings in SPAD. OUtput device->click on ur printer device and choose from Menu Goto->Device Type and there click on "Format " button to see various page formats and its lenght.
