Before you can run the Supplier Mailing Label report, you must set up a print style and printer driver and assign them to the report. You set up the print style based on whether you want to run the report in the Formatted or Unformatted output style, and if you use a printer in PostScript mode or not.

If you want to use the Formatted output style, and you use a printer in non-PostScript mode, and an SRW driver is not defined for this printer, you must first define a new Portrait type (66 height x 80 width) SRW driver for your printer and it must be in your $FND_TOP/$APPLREP directory. See: Creating Custom SRW Drivers.

Suggestion: If you want to be able to choose both Formatted and Unformatted output styles when you submit the report, assign in the Print Style window an SRW driver that can print in the Unformatted output style, and assign in the Printer Drivers window an SRW driver that can print in the Formatted output style. The system uses the SRW driver in the Print Styles window when, in the Submit Request window, you enter zero in the Copies field. The system uses the SRW driver in the Printer Drivers window if, in the Submit Request window, you enter a value greater than zero in the Copies field, and you enter a printer value in the Printers field. If the Print Style SRW driver is different from the Print Drivers SRW driver, each time you submit the Supplier Mailing Labels program, you must remember to properly set the Copies and Printer fields in the Submit Request window.
