Activating a New Page Format

Before using a new page format, you must specify it as a page format in a SAPscript form. Be careful when replacing a page format in a standard SAPscript form as the form may not necessarily fit on the new page format.

You also have to define a format and device type format for the new page format before you can use it.

Notes

·        Every page format used by SAPscript must be defined using this function. In addition, you should note the following two requirements:

         An SAP spool system format must exist for every page format used by SAPscript.

         The name of the page format must be identical to the name of the format.

SAP supplies predefined page formats and formats for all standard SAPscript forms.

·        Do not change the dimensions or orientation in existing standard SAP page formats. This may cause errors during printing of SAPscript forms.

·        The page dimensions and orientation you specify in a page format do not directly affect a printer. That is, neither SAPscript nor the spool system automatically translates the specifications into escape sequences for initializing the printer.

You should therefore ensure that the orientation and dimensions that you specify here agree with the orientation, margin settings, and other characteristics (if any) specified in the escape sequences in each device format with which the page format is used.
