Test Print System
Transaction SYSPRT
The purpose of this transaction is to check, if the printer control works completely (i.e. continuously from the document in the application as far as to the print output on the correct paper out of the correct bin of the correct printer). For this, the following data can be entered:
- User ID
- User Group ID (can be defaulted from the user)
- Entity ID
- Technical Form (the used paper forms depend on the project)
Furthermore it can be selected, if a specially created test document (typically for testing the availability of printers/bins) or an already existing document (reasonable, if for example problems with the output of graphics on particular printers occur) shall be used for a test print.
In addition, the “Defaults for Technical Forms” are defaulted from the printer configuration of the Task Manager (MGRTSK) and can be specified differently here for testing.
Printing under Unix
If the Windows print system (e.g. for the background print of a Unix server system there is no Windows print system available) is not be used, the Unix print system has to be configured accordingly. This includes:
- Configuration of the Unix IP queues
- Technical configuration of the printers in the network (availability under the correct names)
- Technical configuration of the printers (e.g. paper bin control)
When the icon 
is clicked, the actual printer to be used is determined, according to the following information:
- “User ID”, “User Group ID” and “Entity ID”
- “Technical Form”
- The below-mentioned mapping of the “Technical Form”, default value and the information, from which user level on has to be searched
The object, of which the print settings have been used, and the found printer and bins are displayed afterwards under “Values used for Printing”.
If the option 'Create Postscript Files' under “Print System” is selected, a PostScript file is generated. It is sent together with the selected printer name to the script “bin/unix/tdprtcmd” (resp. TDPRTCMD.BAT) in order to be forwarded to the respective printer queue or the respective output device.
If the option 'Windows Server Printing' is selected, on Client-Server Installations with a server running under windows, it is optional to use windows printers, which have been specified on the server.
After the respective printer has been determined, it can be verified via the icon 
, if the print takes place as requested.
The icon 
is used to display the document to be printed a preview panel on the screen in order to verify it.
