PDF417 bar code on Printronix
Hello,
We try to print PDF417 bar code on a Printronix printer.
The customer requires some hexadecimal characters like Group Separator (1D) or End Of Transmission (04) in the bar code sequence.
We have created an Abap program which includes the printer language and changed character set (9117) and device type (ZLB_PRI) for our printer.
OSS notes 137372 and 135894 have also been taken in account.
When we look into the SAP spool we see sequence
[)>#06#P12791961#Q7200#1JUN344672746092507667#2SKS0007596#BV012-10##
where the # stand for the hexa characters.
In Hexa display mode it looks OK
[)>#06#P12791961#Q7200#1JUN344672746092507667#2SKS0007596#BV012-10##
2523133153333333315333313454333333333333333333135453333333145333233102
AB9EE06D012791961D17200D1A5E344672746092507667D23B30007596D26012D10E4A
But it seems the printer receives the # instead of the hexa codes and
the bar code is not readable.
Could you please give us some advise what could be wrong.
Thank you for your help

How to use PDF417 Bar Code in Oracle Reports 6i
How to Use PDF417 Bar Code in Oracle 6i. One of my clients has a requirement that Customer Name and Address to be converted into PDF417.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
PNYou will need to add this font to the system and Reports configuration files.
For adding font to the system, refer to your system specific guidelines for installing new fonts.
After you have installed this font on the system, you should be able to see the font in Reports builder font picker dropdown box. or with unix 'xlsfonts' command
For adding this font to the Reports application.
1. Modify the printer definition file ( you can get this info from uiprint.txt file for the .ppd or .hpd file used )
if the printer defination file is .ppd then look for "*Font Information" section and add the new font name there
like *Font <new_font_name> Standard '(00.1001)" Standard ROM
If hpd add the new font tfm file as
FONT= new_font_name
/tfm=new_font_tfm file.tfm
2. Copy the AFM or TFM ( these are fonts metrics files, which font vendor will provide ) into the relevant directory so the the Reports application should pick them up.
3. If necessary, make changes in the alias file (uifont.ali ) for mapping to this font. If the layout objects in your report are associated with the same font name as the new font then mapping is not required. But if the fonts for the layout objects are different then you need to map the original fonts to the new ones. Make sure that the mapping rules should be defined in the right section depending on the printer type being used. -
Error with €-character in pdf417 bar code
Hey,
we have a problem with the Euro-Sign (€) in the bar code type pdf417. The encoding is set to "ISO-8859-15", but after creating the barcode and scan this, instead of the €-character the ?-character appears. Is this a bug in the encoding-routine? Or have we to set some special parameters?
Can anybody help?
Thanks!
SygroAssuming you are using the 2D PDF417 barcode, we do not support that character encoding. But, if you set the encoding to UTF-8, you should be able to scan the Euro symbol, assuming you scanner can read it.
We support the following encodings:
UTF-8
UTF-16
UCS-2
ISO-8859-1
ISO-8859-2
ISO-8859-7
Shift_JIS
KSC_5601
GB_2312
Big-Five

thanks for your reply, unfortunately the oss note doesn't solve the problem.
We print the barcode on a A5 formular with a HP Laserjet printer series.

Hi,
I am trying generate 2d Barcode from the system using PDF417. I was able generate and scan the barcode. But when the barcode is scanned, i am getting prefix of 7 blank spaces.
Please help in eliminating the prefix blank spaces.
Regards,
VenkatThe first thing you need to do is determine whether the problem is with the data contained in the bar code or an issue with the scanning hardware. The scanning hardware is programmable allowing you to prefix or append printable and non-printable characters to the bar code data. Go to this link and print out the sample PDF bar code. This bar code contains the entire Gettysburg Address and is what Symbol Technologies launched as part of their marketing campaign upon their development of the PDF417 algorithm in 1990. If the bar code scans correctly, then your problem is how you are encoding the data. Check your symbology specifications such as security level and error correction code. If after scanning the sample, you get the same leading spaces, then you have a hardware issue. Try resetting the scanner or imager to factory defaults. It is difficult for me to be any more specific based on the limited information in your post. One other thing you might try is to look at what you are passing in your data stream. There are several ways to do this but one reliable way is to put your printer in dump mode and capture the escape sequence that references the PDF font. This will be different depending on whether you are printing to a laser printer using PCL or Post Script or printing to a label printer using DPL, ZPL, etc.

PDF417, 2D bar code questions
Does anyone have experience (or can anyone point me to documentation) regarding the 2D bar codes supported by Documaker? We are using 11.5, and are interested in evaluating PDF417 or DataMatrix (or others) for scanning purposes. We have implemented a PDF417 solution using section rules rather than the bar code type in found in 11.5, but I am interested in using it for something other than New York ID cards. To that end, I'm not sure the PDF417 guide that I have found in the documentation section of the support site is useful, as the data we hope to bake into a PDF417 bar code wouldn't be parts of drive names, VINs, etc., I'm hoping there is a way to create our own name-value pairs for sue with the bar code. Is this possible? I have no experience with DataMatrix, so I am curious if we can implement a similar solution using that technology as well.
Thanks!
TonyHi Tony,
You may refer to the documentation on "Using Data Matrix 2-D Bar Codes" in the studio user guide.

How to display or generate PDF417 barcode dynamically in PDF form? I am using Acrobat XI Professional and there is a Bar Code Field in the same through which I generated the same. But I want to generate the same dynamically.
What do you mean by dynamically? When yo set up a 2D bar code field you specify which field name/value pairs you want to include, along with other parameters. But be aware that they won't work with Reader unless you Reader-enable the document with LiveCycle Reader Extensions and include the bar code usage right. It will work with Acrobat Standard/Pro.

How to maintain QR Code & BAR Code in SAP Script and Smart Form ?
I want to place QR code (Quick Response Code) and Bar Code In my invoice . I searched from many resources but i couldn't get any appropriate answer . So , Please help me to solve this problem.
Hello,
SAP Note 1557674 - "Overview of bar code printing from SAP" shows the 5 possibilities how barcodes can be printed from SAPScripts and SmartForms.
In your case the following possiblities can help:
DIMM/SIMM module: in this solution you need to additionally purchase and install a DIMM/SIMM module to your printer. Then you can send the command sequence from the SAPScript/SmartForm to this module, and the barcode will be printed. (The command sequence should be described in the manual book of the module.)
barcode.dll file: in this solution you need to additionally purchase and install a barcode.dll file, which will handle the barcodes. Please note: this solution only works with SAPWIN Device Types (and therefore only on Windows OS). The command sequence should be also described in the manual.
New bar code technology: in this case R/3 creates the barcode itself, and the barcode will be forwarded as a simple image to the printer. Unfortunately QR code can not be created with this solution - according to SAP Note 1557674 the following barcodes can be created:
Code39, Code93, Interleaved 2of5, Code128, PDF417.
(There are 2 further solutions in the mentioned Note, but the "bar code font" solution can not be used for 2D barcodes like QR code, and the "PDF-based form" solution means that SAPScript and SmartForm can not be used).
Alternatively, here is a document which explains how QR codes can be displayed in SmartForms with alternative solutions:

Bar code using Oracle+linux?
Hi,

about it.
I would appreciate any informartion or tips..

Why does the bar code look "chubby" when I save to PDF?
Hi, I'm designing a book cover for a client in Illustrator, and it has a bar code on the back of it. When I save the file as an .ai or a .png or .jpeg, it appears fine. But when I save the file as a .pdf (which my client will be viewing, and for print), the bar code looks like the lines have gotten bigger or run together! It's really weird...no matter which preset I use, it appears like this (I've attached a screenshot). I've also tried the "flatten transparency" and converting the numbers to outlines, but they still tend to distort when the pdf is viewed.
Any suggestions on how to fix this, or why this might be happening? It scares the client when they see it....
The lines in the picture are MUCH thicker than the actual bar code, and some appear to have blended together.Hi Mike,
In the Preferences area of Adobe Reader, go to the Page Display tab, and
make sure that "Enhance thin lines" is unchecked. That seemed to solve
most of my problems with the type! Hope that works for you too!

Bar Code Scanning for Windows Phone 8.1
Hi,
I need to find proper way how to scan bar codes in Windows Phone 8.1 or in universal app. I found out that there is native class BarcodeScanner available only for client apps and not for WP. I also find 3rd party library zxing.net, which is not working very
well on WP 8.1. I have done really deep research, but I have not found any single working solution for WP 8.1, so I would like to ask for your help in finding of library with which I will be able to scan barcodes on WP 8.1.
Thank you.If you don't need a universal App you could build a Silverlight 8.1 App and use the old Camera APIs which work nicely with ZXing.Net. I have done so myself.
As for Windows 8 and Universal Apps - you would have to implement a CustomSink for the Video Stream, extract Frames from there and pipe those though a recognition library. So far there seems to be no ready made solution that offers this.
So right now using the old APIs would be my suggestion. -

Actaully, can I launch this demo report from web? If so, how can I includes classpath for the bulid in package?
or I must use JSP report instead?
