problem with new format type in spool

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have created new format type with 65 pages & 140 columns size. I have assigned it to corresponding device type which is copied from standard device type. Then i have assigned to output device type.

But when i print using this new format type its printing in half of the page width. What should be dont if i want print in whole paper width.

When i use standard format type x_65_132 , its printing in whole page width of 132 columns. But with my new format type its printing all line content , but its printing in very small font within half of the page width. It should print in whole page. Please help me to print in whole page width with bigger font as in 132 column options.

Thanks in adavance.

Did you go through all the steps for creating a new format?

Did the printer initialization string and the other escape sequences get modified for the new device type and format (txn SPAD)?

In txn SPAD, select FULL ADMINISTRATION.

Select DEVICE TYPES tab.

Select DEVICE TYPES push button.

Find the new Z device type and double click.

Select the FORMATS icon.

Double click on the new FORMAT.

You should see a FORMATS tab with PRINTER INITIALIZATION on top.

The ones with the square green icon have escape sequences.

SOMETIMES these have to be changed.

Hi Norman,
