Is that not something to do with the printer settings? I am checking.

I am back....this is what I found out from search.

<i><b>SmartForm Doublesided printing question

Your customer wants your PO SmartForm to be able to print "Terms and Conditinos" on the back side of each page. They don't want to purchase pre-printed forms with the company's logo on the front and terms & conditions on the back. Now this presents an interesting problem.

Has anyone else ever had a request like this? If for example there was a 3 page PO to be printed, they want 3 pieces of paper, the front side of each to containe the PO information (page 1, 2, and 3) and the back side of each piece of paper to containg the static "Terms & Conditions" information.

Anyone have a clue how to force this out?</b>

Easy - page FRONT lists page CONTACTS as next page and CONTACTS lists FRONT as next page. Since CONTACTS does not contain a MAIN window, it will print the contacts info and then continue on to FRONT for the rest of the main items. Additionally, set print mode on FRONT to D (duplex) and set CONTACTS to 'blank' (for both resource name and print mode - this is the only way to get to the back of the page).</i>

Please reward points in useful.

On your Page go to the Output Options tab and set the Print Mode for Duplex printing.

In the Smartforms,

in the function module u can pass the print parameters.

like

EXPORTING

CONTROL_PRINT_PARAMETERS = ' '.

u can get the Local printer settings using the FM:

GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS.

and assign this printer settings to the SMARTFORM CONTROL_PRINT_PARAMETERS structure.

hi Ravi,

Try this :

SmartformsFormname>select "Page">Output Options>Print mode "D".

Please make sure your printer has capability to print Duplex.

or

Define a page as "BACK" and add your terms and conditions to it. Please add Next page as "PAGE1(Your First mage)" in page attributes.

Add a Command for page break and add next page as "BACK".

Hope this may work for you.

Regards,

Naveen
