Can MI Client invoke printing function to the local printer?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm newbie to the MI.

Is it possible for MI client (a desktop) to print the data to the printer directly?

If yes, pls give steps to implement it briefly.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

the PIOS is very useful

do anyone have the syncBo related api

such as upload the updated data from MI client to backend R3 and update the data in R3.

Hi Julius,

For an introduction on peripheral support in MI, check Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/nw-mobile > Mobile Infrastructure > Mobile Infrastructure in Detail > Device Driver Framework. it also contains a list of supported peripheral models. For more development-oriented questions, check the corresponding RKT Learning Maps in the Online Knowledge Products area on Service Marketplace. Then navigate to the Learning Map for Developers and look for the peripherals unit.

And, For devices that are not yet supported by MI, mobile application developers can make use of the standard java native interface (JNI) to integrate the peripheral devices required. Check MDK for details.

check this out:

which offers Printer support for the SAP Mobile Infrastructure is offered as part of the Peripheral Input/Output Services.

Hi Julius,

Yes it should be possible.

We have Printer API which can be used.
