I want to print text rotated 90 degrees. Does anyone know if this is possible (with standaard smartform commands).

The way to roatate text in smartforms is using the COMMAND node. The rotation of text takes place at the printer and cannot be viewed in the print preview.
Using the COMMAND node, Attribute to change the orientation to 90deg needs to be passed to the printer.
The Attributes are printer dependant.
e.g.
In the ZPL-II printer control language the attribute is S_LZPL_SETUP.
In this command node, enter the following under "spool control", "free attributes":
Attribute name: Attribute value:
S_LZPL_SETUP '^FWR'
For the particular printer you are using u would need to find the appropriate attibute and the value to set it to.

Not possible in reality , Rumour is to use print commands, not sure if they ever worked for any .
If your text is fixed, create as *.BMP and upload as graphic and use them in smartforms.

hi,
dont know how to rotate text in smartfrom. But , one way you can do this thing. Make a image of that text in outside application like paint and upload this image using se78 and put this image into samrtform.
Hope this help.
