Hi Silpa,

Basically the page formats are created by the basis guys and they can help you out in this regard.

Let me clarify you with some details, the page formats are assigned to the printers and the printers are assigned to the specific device types, and here the error you are getting with the device type SAPWIN.

Solution is as follows,

Now go to the transaction SPAD and click on the full administration, now in the tabs check for the tab "DeviceTypes", in the device type parameter give the device name as "SAPWIN" and click on display.

Now in the application tool bar click on "FORMATS", here you can see the list of page formats that are assigned, here you can assign the new page format that you had created.

This will certainly solve your issue, but please do make a note that this work should be done by BASIS guys.

Cheers

Hi..

The page format doesn't support the device type..

So u need to change the device type.

1 Start the transaction "spad".

2 Select item "Device types”.

3.From the list, select the relevant device type

Click on "Formats".

From the list, select the relevant format

Click on the red pen to change the "Printer initialization".

Add a function by deleting "#" from the start of the line.

or

Creating a Device type....

3.Click on red pen

4.Click on the white page.

5. Enter the desired data on the blank page.

- If necessary, you may also be associated to a device type by entering the relevant details in “Device type” (3).

- Under "Host Printer" (4), enter the name of the Windows printer drive, if it is required.

Hi,

The error indicates that your page format has not been defined for the device type SAPWIN. To do it :- SPAD>Device Typ->Dev Type>Double click on SAPWIN>Click on Execution Icon (List of Implemented forms )>Clieck Create Icon->it will ask for form. Give your form name. & run & see.

I hope this helps,

Regards
