Documentation
Definition
This field specifies the type of OTF driver used to print a SAPscript document.
The OTF format (Output Text Format) is the output format generated by SAPscript after a text has been formatted. In order to output the text to a certain device (screen, printer), this format has to be interpreted, for example, by inserting particular control sequences. The OTF driver performs this task. The driver names are maintained in table TSP09. Each device type (this includes printers, screens, fax machines, etc.) is assigned an OTF driver via table TSP0A which formats SAPscript texts for this device.
The following OTF printer drivers are currently available:
- STND for normal line printers
- PRES for Kyocera PRESCRIBE printers
- POST for PostScript printers
- HPL2 for HP LaserJet II printers.
