I meant that for matrix and laser printing we need separate smartforms.
Especially for matrix printers there are a lot of variables to consider when developing printouts - supported formats (LPI,CPI), barcode handling capabilities, codepages, fonts handling etc.
This is why printforms for matrix are developed for a specific model and the developers need to make some adjustments until the printout looks good. They usually request to be supplied with the same printer model and the additional printer software (if they need to install fonts) during the development phase. The setup usually involves both settings in SAP by BASIS and on the printer itself.
