Summary :
To define a new printer font for an R/3 device type for SAPscript documentation, ensure the font is available on the printer and can be invoked with a short printer command (≤29 bytes). Copy the original SAP printer type to a customer printer type starting with Z in SPAD, then create print control SFxxx containing the specific printer control command. In SE73, create a new entry for the printer font, providing details such as device type, font family, size, bold, italic, and CPI. If using proportional fonts, include an AFM file. Finally, link the new printer definition to the output device in SPAD.
