Changing the fonts in Print using ABAP is not possible. as basic report output is a text editor.

By changing "Customizing of Local Layout" will only change in display screen and not in print.

One possible way to create a new printer formatr thry SPAD and use that format in while printing.

to know more details about SPAD

Using SPAD - SAP Spool Administration to print different paper size

The SAP spool system manages its own output devices. This includes mostly printers, but also fax and archiving devices. In order for you to use output devices defined in your operating system from the SAP System, you must define these devices in the SAP spool system.

Print to a dot matrix printer using computer paper with 66 lines

Define paper types

Formatting process Z_60_135

Page format DINA4

Orientation tick both Portrait and Orientation

Type in the comment and click save

Device initialization

Device type - OKI341

Formatting process Z_60_135 then click Execute

Double click Printer initilization

You must key the 66 lines hexadecimals for your printer. ( line no 9)

1 # oki341 x_paper

2 # reset

3 # \e\0x40

4 # select codepage multilingual 850

5 \e\0x52\0x1a

6 # disable skip perforation mode

7 \e\0x4f

8 # select 6 lpi

9 \e\0x32

10 # select page length 66 lines (66=hex $42)

11 \e\0x43\0x42

12 # select 10 cpi font

13 \e\0x60

Hi,

at the time of installation System admin(basis) people can configure the sap as per sap standards whatever the software provided. in Reporting might be is the small issue to do not change the font size but we can increase the lise feedings.

But normal laser printer doesnt support to increase your font size. you can use specialized industrial printers to increase while printing by selecting the properties.

ii) getting the error "NEW-PAGE PRINT ON" should no longer be used to generate a print dialog box..

<b>it is not the error it is warning you can omitt it and activate ....</b>

see the example :


REPORT ZFONT NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING LINE-SIZE 80 LINE-COUNT 65.

* Start of print-control
NEW-PAGE PRINT ON.

PRINT-CONTROL FUNCTION 'SF000'.
WRITE: / 'This is CPI 20'.

SKIP.
PRINT-CONTROL FUNCTION 'SF020'.
WRITE: / 'This is CPI 6'.

SKIP.
PRINT-CONTROL FUNCTION 'SF008'.
WRITE: / 'This is CPI 12'.

* Depending on your SAP printer device, this may also work
PRINT-CONTROL FONT 1 LPI 6.
* you can try to change font and LPI numbers
WRITE: / 'font 1 lpi 6'.

PRINT-CONTROL FONT 2 LPI 6.
WRITE: / 'font 2 lpi 6'.

PRINT-CONTROL FONT 3 LPI 6.
WRITE: / 'font 3 lpi 6'.

* End of print-control
NEW-PAGE PRINT OFF.
*--- End of Program

reward points if it is usefull
