Defining devices for InfoPrint Manager that use the InfoPrint OMS

Use this procedure to define devices to SAP R/3. For more information, consult the Connecting a Printer to an External Output Management System topic in the SAP R/3 online documentation.

  1. Make sure that you have a logical destination defined in InfoPrint Manager that sends jobs to your actual destination device.
  2. From the SAP R/3 graphical user interface, specify the spad transaction.
  3. From the Spool Administration: Initial screen (Change) window:
    • Click Devices/servers
    • Click Output devices
    • Click Create next to the trash can icon
  4. From the Spool Administration: Create Output Device window, fill in these pieces of information for device attributes and access method:
    Field Explanation Example value
    Output device Specify a long name for the device. Device Number 1
    Short name Specify a short name.
    Note: Optionally, you can allow the system to generate a short name.
    		 DEV1
    Device type Specifies the driver that generates the output data stream. SAPGOF
    Host printer Specify the InfoPrint Manager logical destination. printer-ld
    Access method to host spool Make sure you specify this Access Method. E
    LOMS Specify the LOMS to which this device should be assigned. You specified this value on the Spool Administration: Logical Output Management System window under Define the InfoPrint Manager OMS to SAP R/3. IPM001
    Spool server Select an applicable spool server from the entries list on the field. sap12_MBS_00
  5. Save this information by clicking on the Save (diskette) icon, then exit the interface.

Once you have saved these changes, you have a device that will print to InfoPrint Manager using Access Method E.

Note: If your logical destination does not receive a job sent from your SAP device, delete and recreate the SAP callback daemon with the same settings on the InfoPrint Manager server.

Once you have defined this device to send jobs to InfoPrint Manager, you can do these tasks:
