Hello,
I was using formats of device type (DINA4) to print sapscript formulars in different output trays. Now I have switched to adobe forms.
Adobe forms are always printed (as I've understood) in G_RAW format, and not in DINA4 format as I want.
For my printer ( KYO FS95XX PCL POSS, Driver HPL2 HP Laserjet) I'm not able to manipulate output trays in "Printer initialization" for G_RAW format (in SPAD).
Example for DINA4:
Example for G_RAW:
Do you have any suggestion how to:
1. Change format from G_RAW to DINA4?
2. To manipulate output trays of G_RAW format?
Thanks,
Evgenij
Hello Evgenij,
the reason why format G_RAW doesn't have any printer actions (e.g. tray commands) in default is that the contents of this format will not be evaluated by R/3.
In contrast, the contents of a DINA4 spool (SAPScript / SmartForm) will be interpreted according to the OTF rules. This means that storing an ADS (Adobe Document Services) data in DINA4 format could cause errors which hinder the printing of that spool, because ADS can not generate spools in OTF format.
These mean the following:

Hello Laszlo,
thanks for quick response.
I dont know anything about "print tickets" (Nr. 3) and cannot find anything in web.
Can you please explain how to setup print tickets and combine it with IE_OUTPUTPARAMS-PRINTTICKET ?
Does it work for every device types?
At the end I just need to say: printer xyz, tray 5. Question where and how
Thanks,
Evgenij
Hello Evgenij,
SAP Note #1285632 - "Print ticket for POSS print options" describes that since Netweaver 702 / 720 you can define "Print Tickets" in transaction SPAD.
This means:
The tray should be selected now during printing.
The value of IE_OUTPUTPARAMS-PRINTTICKET needs not to be filled manually, as this SPAD-setting should automatically handle it.
This also means that not all Device Types are POSS / Print Ticket capable. Unfortunately there is no collective SAP Note which shows which Device Types are capable of this, instead the individual SAP Note needs to be checked where the Device Type is distributed. (E.g. SAP Note #1135039 - "Printer Vendor Wizard Note: Ricoh" for Ricoh's RC* Device Types, etc.)
If the XDC / Job profile solution doesn't seem to be flexible enough, you can simply set the required tray in transaction SPAD, under tab "Output Attributes". If the system is recent enough to use the SPAD_TRAY_IFBA parameter, you can simply select the needed tray under this tab, no special Device Types are required for this. SAP Note #1729666 - "Enhanced print options for ADS printing" describes details about this.
Best regards,
Laszlo
