THe printing depends on the capicity of the printer that you use and the paper sizes that the printer is able to handle. This could be the reason behind printing on A4 despite the page settings

Hi,

You need to set the same thing in the Printer settings also, goto SPAD transaction code, there select your device type, then in one of the TAB, we have an option to select the Paper size, there change the Paper format

hi arun

In transaction SPAD. Click on the "Full Administration" button and then select the "Device Types" tab (make sure you are in Edit mode).

Now select the "Device Types" button. Choose your Device Type and click on the "Formats" button. Now add in your new Page Format here.

Hope this helps,

Regards

Goto T-Code : SPAD.

Click on 'Full Administration' on standard tool bar.

Now select 'Device Types' tab.

you will get the push buttons : Device types,Print control, Format Types, Page formats, Cover Page Texts....etc...

Now the procedure is,

u have to create a Page format and

that Page format u need to assign to Format type, then

this format type u need to assign to Device Type,

this device type u need to assign to Output Device.

Creating Page format:

SPAD -> Full administration -> Device Types -> Page format , now go to change mode, Now u can find create button, click on that,

u will get a sceen, there u need to give Z-pageformat name, give it and mention the Orientation, and also width and height of page and also Units.

now save it and come back. ie. u have created a page format.

Assign page format for Format type:

SPAD -> full administration -> Device types -> format types

if u r not in change mode, turn on change mode, now click on create, a screen , that allows u to give new format type appears,

Now give any Z-Format type and assign the pageformat here by selecting it in pageformat drop down box.

select the orientation u need to assign and write some comments.

Assing Format type to Device type :

SPAD -> full administration -> Device types -> Device Type(push button)

if u r not in change mode , turn on change mode , now click on create , u can create a device type here.

in common this is the work of Basis people to create device type and they will assign it to output device.

Hope this will help u out.

Hi Naveen,

this problem is not due to printer..

when i using sap standard page format the output is comming properly but fpr the next page it is started from the half of it, so i created a Z page format

the problem is when i am using Z page format the output is restricted to A4.
