20 Data Flow when using SWIN Device Type
SAPlpd and SAPSprint can receive and process print jobs from different device types. Below you
can see the difference in data flow between SWIN (and SAPWIN) based print data compared to
others.
Figure 25: Data Flow SAPlpd
With the SWIN device type the so-called “SAPWIN” data stream is generated. This is a generic
printer language and must be translated into the printer language of the destination printer (e.g.
PCL or Postscript).
Print data in the SAPWIN data format can be processed by SAPSprint, SAPlpd or SAPGUI (via
SAPWIN.DLL). Only through the SAPWIN “intermediate format” Windows printer drivers can be
used ultimately.
