Sapscript - Line spacing problem.

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have a problem with a Sapscript.

Due that I need to print new lines using a paper with pre-printing texts, I should move the texts milimeters to display the position in a right way.

However I have a problem that I can't solved...

I have changed the line spacing in SapScript (it would be less than 1,00 LN, I'm using MM, but although I set 0,50 MM, the line spacing is the same.... it is not change...) and nothing has changed.

I have also added printer code in SPAD transaction, in the edition information (Print initialization) and it didn't work...

Could anybody help me? I'll really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance and best regards,

Thanks for your answers and help,

I want to explain you about a printer problem. I have to print checks with 76 mm to large in a continuing paper. When I print the first, it's OK. The second has a difference of 0.2 mm..... the tenth has a super differente...

I'm using a EPSON ESC printer..... Using its printer command in SPAD transaction I can't change the code in MM.... only in Lines or Inches... (I can't presition...)

Has you had this problem? Could you please help me?

Best regards,

HI,the two problems you described are what I am facing, so did you already solve it? could you inform me the solution, waiting for your help..

Hi Yican,

first of all, what kind of printer do you have?

What kind of device-typ you are using, what kind of driver is installed at the print-server?

What kind of print-server do you use?

What did you already try to solve your problem?

Is it probably a wire-printer (dot matrix printer)?

All those question should be answered before someone can give you something useful to do next..

Hi ,Florian Henniner,

Thank you for your reply.

I am as a maintenance abaper service client , the problem customer informed us that they want to print the script form on the pre-printing texts paper, and the field can not match.

I have tried to adjust the line spacing and tabs in paragragh formats to make field in correct position, however for the value of line spacing whatever I set when customer printed it is always the same.

I thought that may be client's print device can not   reconitize the  unit of lince space, so I changed the unit from 'mm' to 'ln' &'pt' and so on , but it seems still not work.

Actually I have no idea about customer's printer, device-typ,print-server right now. should I ask customer for these information first?

Hi Yican,

of course. Imagine, if your customer got a wire-printer it isn't possible to set the height to an exact value...

Out of that, please check first this prerequiered information and perhaps you will discover the issue yourself out of that. Otherwise let us know what they said and perhaps someone will know some useful for you.

Hi,Florian,

As I know ,the customer use a dot printer ,I think it is a kind of wire-printer, I thought that maybe the printer just only can not recognize the unit of line spacing, but now I think I am wrong, I changed the unit from 'MM' to 'IN'&'PT' and so on, but it does not work.

You said it is not possible to set the height to an exact value, so is there a different sulotion?

Can I change the font size to control the actual lining space? does it have a releation with font size?

Thank you for your help...urgently...

You need to check the documentation, normally there is a relation to it. The lineheight is also descriped there, so you might find a solution, which will fit for the pre-printed paper.

Sorry,

I am a new to scn.sap.com, which documentation do you mean?

[Florian]

The documentation of the printer itself. I need to refer you to you to the companies homepage of your printer, because you do not share the modelname.

Hi, As I checked with customer ,they used EPSON LQ2190.

And at the last testing version, I tried to test the set 'Space before' and 'Space after' in the paragraph formats, I don't know if it will works because I am still waiting the feedback from customer.

I have tried to change different to the line spacing ,and the unit of line spacing, but it doesnot work.

Really I have not a usful solution ,so I can just test and test again....and till now it have not good news
