printing script text vertically

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have developed a scrip with dimension 224 cm * 93 cm to take printout for cheques in sap. In this format i have to

put the cheques in printer in horizontal fashion and its giving printout horizontally. But the client want to enter the cheque

in vertical fashion and want to take printout. What necessary changes or setting I have to do to take the printout in that fashion?? The client is performing

I think this should be handled not in the form but in the printer configuration. Not all printers may be able to handle this, actually. For example, when printing on envelopes from Word, some printers may allow to insert an envelope both ways, but some may not. Also check if switching from Portrait to Landscape (or the other way around) helps. Keep in mind that this also has to be supported by printer config. Work with Basis admin on this.

P.S. This is not an ABAP question and there is a separate forum for the forms.

Hello,

There have 2 ways you can try:

1. In SE71 -> your form -> Header -> Basic Settings -> Tick the Landscape format.

2. Or when you print the form select the landscape format.

I have tried everything. I changed the script header details and also tried to change the format.

But in every case the output is coming in portrait format. i want it in landscape..

Hello,

Then check the format/Page Format of the device type and see if the

orientation is Landscape.

I have checked the format in device type (spad). Here orientation is landscape. But printout is coming in portrait fashion.

Hello,

Check the format for the device type -> Printer initialization, if the Portrait-Mode is

activated in there by escape cope \ePP.
