Summary :
This SAP Note elaborates on configuring settings for front-end printing in SAP environments, specifically addressing the options available via the control technology. Key terms include Front-end printing, LOCL, SAPWIN, and SWIN. Configuration generally does not require adjustments, but exceptions exist where settings like printer-specific identifiers override default values. For instance, setting 'PortraitOnly' to 1 on a global level prevents landscape orientation for individual printers unless reverted. Solutions involve utilizing the Options Editor from SAP GUI 7.20 patch 8 or manually entering values in the Windows registry for earlier GUI versions. Detailed configurations such as LogLevel, KeepFile, and various printing modes are outlined, highlighting their effects on logging, file retention, and print outcomes.
