Hi Johannes,

We have been know to go directly into the printer defintion and adjust the Horizontal and Veritical Shift. This can be found on the Output Attributes in the Additional SAPScript and Smart Form Information area. We give our A4 printers a slight Negative Horizontal and Positive Vertical shift to better center the output on the different paper size.

Regards,

Raj

Dear ester,

As such you have to choose either to print in cutout A4 paper or continuous A4 paper.

You must have defined paper in your SAPScript/Smartform as DINA4. But the continuous paper is bit longer and leaner. Try using INCH12 for printing in continous paper only then you would get perfect match.

Hope it helps.

Deva.
