Check you available output formats for SmartForms... I forget how many are supported, but PostScript, PCL5 ( and maybe 8), and others are available. Since a dot matrix printer is probably pretty old, my first thought would have been that I had to use SAPScript for the form output, but I may be wrong about that.

Before they were using the SAP script and that time the print was coming perfect.But when we changed the report to smartform display,its not printing the values.

Whether this is possible in smartform to print using the Dot Matrix Printer.

There may be some isssue with the loop used to print the table

There might be only 2 reasons either there is loop repeating or not data is not cleared

even the problem can b with the print catridge.

What kind of problem are you facing?If data is coming into the internal table then,try changing the height of the template.One of my colleagues had a similar issue few moths back,he changed the height of the template and it was sorted,I think the minimum height should be 5 mm for laser printer,reducing this height might help.
