Summary :
SAPscript and SmartForms may fail to print special characters correctly, displaying placeholders like ### instead. This issue is due to improper font configuration or output character set mismatches in device types. For successful printing, ensure the form's language version matches that specified in the SAPscript or SmartForms API and select the appropriate fonts. Each printer model supports specific character sets; verify your printer's compatibility with the desired output language. Also, adapting to available printer fonts is crucial where the original font isn't supported, which impacts character display.
