2. Logon to the SAP ECC Dev System

3. Open transaction STMS (Browse or type STMS in the transaction code area)

4. Select ExtrasOther RequestsAdd

5. Enter the target client and click the Check box

6. Search for the desired transport using the *wildcard selection and the transport file name (do not include the .PVD extension) and click the Check box

7. Identify the desired Transport Number and select it

8. Verify Transport Request and click the Check box

9. Click Yes to attach the Transport to the import queue.

Configuring an Intermec Output DeviceThis section describes how to create and configure an Intermec device using the Device Type Printer Wizard. Import of Intermec device types and driver should be completed prior to this step as described in previous sections of this document.

1. Open Spool Administration (browse or type SPAD in the transaction code area)

2. Click Display next to Output Devices

3. Click the Change icon

4. Click the Create icon

5. Enter the Output Device name, the Short name and click on the Wizard icon

6. From the Device Type Selection Window select Intermec from the Manufacturers Name drop down box and click the Show Printers button to see the list of available Intermec printers Right-click a printer to select it and then click the Check box

7. Enter the printer Model and Location as necessary

8. Click on the Access Method tab

9. Select the Host Spool Access Method, available methods for Intermec Device Types are: F: Printing on Front End Computer, or G: Front End Printing with Control Tech

10. Enter _DEFAULT in the Host Printer field to route print jobs from the local machine to the default installed printer Checking No Device Selection at Frontend will route jobs to the default printer Click the Save icon.

Graphics Print jobs with graphics will not be printed on the following printers:

PF2i and PF4i configurations PM4i configurations PX4i and PX6i configurations PD41 and PD42 configurations PB22, PB32 and PB50 configurations

Color graphics are not supported Automatic image scaling across different DPI printers is not

supported

OtherSending very large print jobs over a wireless interface to the PB22 and PB32 may fail. This is not related to the SAP device type, but rather an issue in the printer firmware. This issue will be resolved in a future firmware release.
