Multiple copies in sequence

[Former Member]

Hi,

I need to print multiple copies (3) of documents in sequence. So for example of we are printing a 2 page shipping note the customer would like page 1 printed 3 times first and then page 2 printed 3 times.

I know we can print multiple copies by mentioning number of copies, but this will not print sequentially.

Appreciate your help.

Senthil.

Hi Senthil,

which technology do you use? This copy method is handled by the smart form composer (in the print parameters, or in the print dialog), by generating a spool with each page stored several times.

By the way, is it a standard or custom form?

For SAPscript, you might also act directly on the final spool (OTF format) by creating a program which regenerate another spool by multiplying each page (each page starts with OP code and ends with EP).

Hi,

The requiremnt is in Smartforms.

Also multiple copies (2) of documents in sequence. So for example of we are printing a 2 page shipping note the customer would like page 1 printed 2 times first and then page 2 printed 2 times.

In print paramets if I give 2 copies for two pages form(Number of message = 2) , it will print first page and second page of the first copy and again the first and second page of the second copy. But I need it sequential , like page 1 printed 2 times first and then page 2 printed 2 times.

Yes, it's what I understood.

As I said, this function exists for smart forms. If you display the print dialog, there's a checkbox to group, or if you want to select it without displaying the dialog, use TDGROUP field in OUTPUT_OPTIONS parameter
