sap printer device type issue.

[Former Member]

hello experts,

I want to change a DINA4 format of printer.

output is not visible on orignal device type.

whenever i change the device type of printer it gives me correct visible output but the output is not visible on orignal device type.

so i want to generate visible output for dina4 format keeping device type same as orignal device type. i dont want to change device type.

please advise it's very urgent.

Regards,

Gaurav Wani.

You don't have to change the device type, you can simply modify or create a new format under the device type in SPAD

SPAD -> "Full Administration" -> Device Type (tab) -> Search for Device Type -> Format -> and then edit the format / add new one.

Maybe simply is the wrong device type for the printer you are trying to use...

HI Juan,

when i use the device type of printer dn02 for dn01 then output is coming but when i assigned the device type of printer dn02 for page format dina4 of printer dn01 then output is not coming... i dont understand what is the problem..

can you help me in this case...

when i use the device type of printer dn02 for dn01 then output is coming

If so, then why don't you use the same device type in dn01?

but when i assigned the device type of printer dn02 for page format dina4 of printer dn01 then output is not coming

I don't understand this....Page format goes together with the Device type?... if the printers use diferent device types (asuming different printers) and the format is not available on the device type for dn01, simply create the format.

Maybe I'm confused, if the printers are the same model then you should use the same device type and hence the same format for output.

hi,

both printers are not same..

we cannot use device type of dn02 for dn01 because of it's dependncy but we want to use it's format only..

Then you need to create the format for the device type used by dn01.
