Data getting cut in SAP script after changing the Printer

[Former Member]

HI,

I have a SAP script which was getting printed properly on A4 size paper on a dot matrix printer.

Now, when i am giving the printout on a Laser printer with A4 paper, data is getting cut off.

Page format in script is customr format with 10 IN X 12 IN.

Any idea?

Thanks,

Hello,

Exactly the printing position is not identical by each printing language,
please refer to note 90437 and 183948 for more details.

You can try to use the Horizontal move and Vertical Shift settings in
in SPAD for the output device to adjust the position of the print.

   SPAD -> Output Devices -> e.g. LP01
         -> 'Output attributes' tab
          -> Additional Smartform and Sapscript information
           -> Vertical Shift: enter e.g. -5 mm

If this can not help you then the only solution is to adjust the margin

of your smartform.

Hello Amit Dwivedi,Regards,

The difference is caused by printer and the device type used,

so the print preview must be correct. Please read notes 90437 and 183948.
If you want to change the from you have to reduce the table length or the font size, or the margin
size.

Hello,

Have you tried to reduce the width of the Window?

If the issue is happening with a PCL device type, you can try to use SAPWIN and see it again.

Hi Amit,

Do the following steps.

1.SPAD-->Choose the output device-->Output attributes--> Check the Print mode.

If it is Default printer setting...then..

Search in your windows view devices and printers.You choose the default printer and do a right click and choose printing prefernces.

Compare the width and height with your previous printer.Just ensure both matches..

Hope it helps.

Hi Kanan,

I checked in windows device and printers and paper zise used in the printer is Letter 8.5 IN x 11 IN.

While in SAP script it is 10 IN X 12 IN. but i want my script to be printed on A4 paper size. I tried changing the paper size to A4 in windows device and printer. bit still same problem.

@ Pen : I did not tried reducing the window width. But will that not make the details inside the window looks very messy.

Thanks,

Hi Amit,

Can you compare the device printer setting property of the Lase printer against the Dot matrix printer.Go for a custom size from the drop down and try to do some tweaking.
