Summary :
SAP Note details procedures and requirements for printing in non-Western-European languages using SAP systems. It addresses the challenges faced when setting up printing services for languages like Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and others that require special fonts not typically found in standard printers. The note suggests using the SAP Printer Vendor Program to ensure compatibility between SAP device types and printer models. Recommendations include using Unicode Systems for multilingual output in applications, SAPScript for standard texts in specific languages, and Smart Forms checks. It differentiates between SAPWIN (for Windows-based printing using specific device types) and SPOST (PostScript printing for PostScript-supported printers), detailing setup and prerequisites for each to aid in proper configuration.
