In order to still allow printing the same document on all printers with similar results, SAP allows adjusting/adapting/correcting the position of the
output image on the paper for each Output device (logical printer) individually, as follows:
1. Run transaction SPAD (Spool Administration).
Navigate to (tab 1) "Devices / servers" -> (button 1) "Output devices".
2. Select the affected Output device.
On (tab 3) "Output attributes":
Enter "Change" mode.
3. Under "Additional SAPscript information" :
- Horizontal move: # MM (*)
- Vertical shift: # MM (*)
4. Press the "Save" button.
Note: (*)
Decimal places are not allowed. For measures below 1 mm please use PT (1 point = 1/72 inch = ca. 0.35 mm).
Also negative values are allowed: (< 0 = up & left, > 0 = down & right).
5.1.15 How to enable printing on a non-standard paper format
Commonly used paper sizes such as A4, Letter, etc., are fully supported by SAP.
In addition to these, the SAP administrator may need to support others, such as Double Letter, or envelopes.
Of course, this is only possible for those paper sizes that the device supports, as listed in the "Paper size" section of Volume 3.
This only applies to printing SAPscript- or SmartForms-based documents, since ABAP output is always designed to fit on A4/LTR paper.
To add support for another paper size, one needs to:
1. Create a Page format with the corresponding measures; one for each orientation (Portrait, Landscape) to be used.
By convention, the names of these have to start with a "Z", and may be a maximum of 8 characters long; hence Zxxxxxxx.
=> See the section "How to create a Page format" above.
2. Create a Format type of type SAPscript with the same name (Zxxxxxxx), referring to the above Page format.
=> See the section "How to create a new Format" above.
3. (For each Device type to be used):
3a. Add a Device format for the above Format type.
