Device Type Selection
When you create a new output device or change an existing one, it is sometimes hard to choose the appropriate device type. This function assists you in finding the best choice.
Integration
The Device Type Selection function is an enhancement of the Spool Administration transaction (SPAD). When you create a new output device or change an existing one, select 
next to the field Device Type
to open this function.
Features
The Device Type Selection function recommends you the most appropriate device type(s) for your output device after you have entered a couple of selection criteria, such as the name of the printer manufacturer and the language(s) to be printed in. As a result you will see a list of printer model – device type combinations out of which you can select the most suitable device type.
More Information
See Using the Device Type Selection Function for details.
The relationship between printer model and device type needs to be updated in the system on a regular basis. See Updating the Device Type Selection Data for more information.
