Changing document print orientation
The sap2afp transform lets you enhance the quality of your printing from an SAP R/3
enterprise through the use of form definitions. Form definitions allow you to use
electronic overlays and specify both media orientation (how the page is printed) and
bin selection. The sap2afp transform defines which form definition should be used
for printing through the use of Formats. Every spool job in R/3 requires a Format
(Paper type), whether it is ABAP data (X_65_80) or OTF data (LETTER). SAP R/3 formats are mapped to Advanced Function Presentation (AFP) form definitions
in the pagedef.tab configuration file. You can display the Format of a spool request
in the output controller (SP01).
By default, the sap2afp transform uses F1SAP form definition, which by default defines duplex, portrait printing. In addition, InfoPrint Manager provides an assortment of form definitions, which are documented in RICOH InfoPrint Manager: Reference. Consult this list to find a form definition that meets your printing needs.
This section describes how to specify landscape media orientation through a form definition for an entire document and then connect the newly-created format to a device type. By mapping an SAP Format to a form definition in the pagedef.tab file, you can define the media style for the entire job. Depending upon the type of data you wish to print, there are two separate procedures:
