sap script - Problem while printing Hungarian characters during Unicode

[Former Member]

Hello Friends,

We had done unicode changes ie Version upgrade from 4.6 C to ECC and because of that sap script Hungarian characters are printing as Junk characters ex - #####.

Can any one please help me on this issue. In SO10 Print preview also we are facing same issue.

Thank you,

Regards,

Phaneendra

Hi Phaneendra,

Which device type do you use create the print/preview the characters? Do you use a Latin-2 device type like I2SWIN. The Latin-1 device types like HPLJ4 etc use a character set that does not include all the East European characters. In a Unicode system, you can also se the Unicode cascading fints device type SWINCF.

Hello Aiden,

can we make the device type which is not supporting ( ie, currently i am using ER-P404 ) to be supported ,

because my client is using this device type ie, can we include the characters which was not there earlier.

Phaneendra

Hello Phaneendra,

What is the device type which is not working? I have never heard of device type ER-P404. Is it a PCL/postscript device type? What is the probem to use device type I2SWIN? Is it because you cannot print via windows?

It may be possible to modify the character set of the device type but if it is a native device type for the printer, it requires that the printer itself contains the Latin-2 character set internally in the printer. If it is a PCL printer, you could try with device type I2HP4.

Another possibility is to use postcript device type I2SPOST and follow the steps of SAP Note #83502.

Hi Phaneedhra,

the below thread explains the font issue for Hungary..

SAPScript with Hungarian characters on it. Weh we review the output online it looks good, but when we print it we get a u2018#u2019 in place of Hungarian characters. I found the following link in SDN and am wondering if you can help.
