 Procedure documentation Outputting Spool Requests  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

You want to print one or more spool requests on a device.

Prerequisites

The spool request was created without the attribute print immediately. It is therefore only printed when you explicitly release it in the Output Controller (transaction SP01).

Procedure

You have the following options:

Print Spool Request Directly Without Changing it First

To release a request directly, select the entry and choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Print Directly.

You can also select and then print multiple requests in this way.

Print a Spool Request After Changing its Parameters

To change the request before printing it, for example, to send the request to a different printer or change the number of copies to print, choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying textPrint with changed parameters....

You can change the following settings before printing:

      Output device: If possible, only divert the output to an output device that uses the same device type as the output device where the request was originally sent.

·         Usually, SAPscript/Smart Forms texts cannot be sent to a printer that has a different device type

For ABAP lists, make sure the selected format is included in the device type  of the output device to which you want to divert the output of the request.

For PDF-based forms, you must select a PostScript, PCL, or ZPL printer, since print files can currently only be created from the PDF-based forms for these printer types. You cannot use a printer with the device type SAPWIN/SWIN.

      Start time: To set a later time for printing, choose this pushbutton.

      Additional Options: If you choose this button, you can define specific print options for the output of the spool request, or change print options that were selected when generating the spool request. For more information, see Printing with Print Options.   

 

After changing the parameters, choose Print to print the request or Print All (if you have selected multiple requests).
