Landscape print format for report with many columns

[stevejohnson]

I have report with many columns, which users want to print on one page. I tried formats X_65_512/2 and X_65_1024/4, but with those formats the font is very small and not legible. Is there another format, which is good for very wide reports, perhaps with landscape orientation?

Hi,

Basically you can create your own format as well per note 17895, the largest width is 1024
and the character size is changeable in the 'Printer Initialization' of format,

SPAD -> Full Admin -> Device Types  -> <Device Type> -> Formats

           -> <Format> (eg:Z_65_500) -> Printer Initialization

But the problem is, physically it is hard to display very wide report with large font size in one page,

so you can adjust the format by comparing the actual printout, or maybe you can change the layout
(delete the columns not important) first.

Thank you.

When I click on Printer Initialization it comes with a blank page. What do I need to type in order to make smaller character size, for example 75% of the original size?

Didn't you read the note 17895?

If this note doesn't help you out of your situation, note 435100 is the right one.

The reading and doing is now your turn

Hi,

What kinds of device type is used? please refer to note 21738 if it is *SAPWIN.

The only solution might be to develop an own form. But that is not that what you want to read.

Sry, I don't think there is a proper solution for such a dynamic thing.
