Defining devices that use InfoPrint Manager for access method U

To define SAP devices to use access method U, follow this procedure:

  1. Make sure that you have a logical printer defined in InfoPrint Manager, which will send jobs to your physical printer device.
  2. From the R/3 main menu, access the Spool Administration window by clicking the Tools main menu and then selecting the Tools → Administration → Spool → Spool Administration path or typing /nSPAD in the ok-Code field.
  3. From the Spool Administration window, select the Output devices option and select the Change button.
  4. Click Create and fill in this information on the Create Output Device window:
    Field Explanation Example value
    Output device Type the name that R/3 users need to access the printer. ipm1pms
    Device type Select the device type that has been defined in the R/3 system for the printer model. For example, POST2 applies to any PostScript printer. POST2
    Spool server Select the name of the R/3 application server, which will be the SAP R/3 spool server (spool work process), that transfers output across a network link. hrmssbx_SBX_00
    Destination hosts Type the host name for the InfoPrint server. nwser
    Host printer Type the name of the InfoPrint Manager logical destination. prt1-lp
    Device class Enter a space so that this field accepts the default value of printer, which is P, or you can specify Standard printer.  
    Access method in host spool Select the method that the spool work process uses to pass data to the host spool system. U
  5. From the menu bar, click Back and the system prompts you to save the new output device.

Once you have completed this task, you can begin submitting jobs to InfoPrint Manager.
