Dear Jeyakanthan

File>Page Setup>Set Paper Size

actual with paper size in PLD,

Here I can only see four types of paper size... ie A4, B5, Leagal, Letter whereas in PLD there are many more options.

How can I set the same paper size as in PLD if there is no option of that paper size.

Click Printer button

In page setup Click Properties,Select Paper/Quality tab,

Clik advanced button,Change Printable area to maximum.

Here again I can't find the option Printable area to maximum

Plz tell if I am missing something.

hi amit

Pasting the sap note.

Note 850823 - Send print jobs to a matrix printer using custom paper size

Summary

Symptom

How to send print jobs to a dot matrix printer using custom sized paper.

Other terms

dot matrix printer, layout designer, custom paper, fanfold paper, inch, dot matrix, custom sized paper, print job, page setup, print layout designer

Reason and Prerequisites

When printing from B1 to a dot matrix printer using custom sized paper, it is necessary to configure the system to use a custom paper size and fit the print layout accordingly.

Solution

1. Verify that the printer is running the latest drivers from the printer manufacturer's website.

2. Verify that the driver being used can support the custom sized paper.

3. Define a custom paper size in each workstation running B1.

a) Go to Start -> Settings -> Printer and Faxes.

b) Under the Printer and Faxes window go to 'File' and choose 'Server Properties' from the menu.

c) In the 'Print Server Properties' choose to create a new form. In the lower part of the window, define the custom paper size e.g. 11.50 inch width, 8.50 inch length.

d) Give the form an appropriate name, i.e. 11.5WX8.5L and press the 'Save Form' button.

e) Click OK to close the window.

4. Open B1, go to 'file' choose 'Page Setup'. Next choose the desired printer and the custom paper size that was defined earlier e.g. 11.5WX8.5L.

5. Open the desired layout designer and from the 'Print Layout Designer' menu, choose 'Display Document Property'.

6. Under the 'Display Document Property' window, choose the 'Paper Format'tab and define the custom paper size.

(Notice the width and height should automatically change, once the modified paper is chosen).

7. Save all changes in the layout. Verify that it is set as default layout and print the desired document.

8. The print layout should fit the new custom paper size that was defined in B1.

Amit,

Can you check if the Paper Size you have Set in the PLD properties is longer then your actual paper size.

Suda,

Paper size is 5.75" x 9"

Which paper format should I choose? I tried with different format but it's not working.
