A device type must have a format to match every page format that is used in a SAPscript form.
You must first have created a page format that your format references.
...
1. Choose Administration → CCMS → Print → Spool Administration, Full Administration and then Format Types on the Device Types tab page
2. To create your new format, on the next screen choose Change and then Create or Create with reference.
3. Give the format a name starting with Y or Z (the reserved namespace for customers). This avoids conflicts with SAP standard formats. The format and page format names should be identical. If, for example, the page format name is ZDINA3, the format must also be called ZDINA3.
4. In the field Type, enter S (Format for SAPscript).
5. Select a page format.
6. Select the fields Portrait and Landscape. These fields are purely documentary and have no effect on processing.
7. Save your entries.
To complete the implementation of a format, you need to implement it in one or more device types (for information, see Implementing Device Type Formats .)
SAPscript uses the standard formats listed below. If you add a new device type, then you should define at least these formats.
Since the format has a purely documentary role, you will need to add commands to the Printer initialization action in the Device type → Formats to set the paper type at the printer for some of these formats, as indicated in the table. See Editing Device Type Formats for information about the commands to enter in the Printer initialization action.
