Hello experts,

We are currently having a problem in printing our cheque(sapscript) the first page is always printed lower than the original. the consecutive pages are fine.

Also, we checked in tcode SPAD and checked the format of printing and we are curious on what does the codes below mean?

  1. formfeed

\f

  1. newline

\n

Again, thank you guys!

i think they are printer specific commands maintained in SPAD.

Cheers

Hi,

\f - Formfeed means the page is rolled down by 1 line and then the printing is started. It is like you have increased the top margin by 1 line. So if the top margin is 10. Then it will take it as 11 and then printed. The effect of this statement wont be reflected on the preview but directly on the print out.

\n - New Line means new line on the page. This would be reflected in the preview as well as in the print out.

I hope this explanation clear the doubts regarding the two commands.

Best regards,

Prashant

Hi Prashant,

We are currently having a major issue on why when we print our cheques the firstpage is always lower by a few centimeters. Is there a command where in it would decrease the topmargin?

Thank you.
