Hi,

First get the device type of the printer which you wish to use. SPAD--~~>Output devices>Double click on your printer. Note down the device type from the first line. Now attch the format to this device type. SPAD>Full Administration~~->Device Types.--~~>Double click on your device type found in step 1.>Click on Formats>Click on Change ( Pencil Icon )>Click on Create Icon~~->It will ask for the format--->Give your Z format.

I hope this helps,

Regards
