Printing issue in zebra printer

I have the ITF generated from Bar-One software for a label in landscape. The itf has been uploaded to a standard text which is being called in sapscript.A zreport serves as a print program. The spool request gets generated but not able to get any output in the zebra printer. Nothing comes out of the printer - no output. My label contains fixed texts and variable texts - from an internal table.
If i upload the itf for printing the frame alone in landscape, it gets printed. when the fixed texts are included in the itf, the label output itself is not coming.
The zebra printer is completely configured in SPAD and able to print from SAP modules.
can anyone guide on this issue?

Anoop,
What is the Font type you are using. Use Helve through out the form that would solve the issue

Hi,
could you take a picture of the label printed by your Zebra ?
Did you use the ZPLII printer driver ?

Not seeing parameter values in SBO while running a crystal report w/Zebra

I am using the crystal reports addon for SAP Business One. I created a report which prints a label (1"x3") on a zebra thermal printer. If I run the report within SAP Business One with a default printer other then the zebra printer I see the drop downs for the parameter values. However when I select the values and print it , the label does not print correctly. It appears as if crystal thinks the label is 3"x1". If I try to run the report with the zebra printer as a default printer within SAP Business One, the drop downs for selecting the parameters are gone.
If I run the report within crystal 2008 directly, I have no problems with printing the label properly as long as the Zebra Printer is not the default printer. I have updated crystal 2008 with all available service packs and updates. I have made registry entries on the server and workstations to allow more than enough values to be seen in the parameter dropdowns.
Does anyone have any idea why the report will not work when being executed within SAP Business One?

Susan,
I'm not sure if the attached thread is relevant for you? I am also searching related to issues with Zebra, although mine are with PLD.
Re: Crystal Reports viewer(runtime) barcode printing problem

So is it worth getting a macbook pro?

Hi
I currently have the older version iMacG5 ,and like many I expect, I am contemplating getting a
"lappy toppy"
I am a wee bit hashy bashy and have young kids therefore thought the aluminum cased macbook pro would be a good choice, (15" 2.5 model)
however looking at this support site has given me second thoughts, there seems to be numerous display issues, blackout, zebras, and other stuff
is this a machine problem or leopard one?
My Dad (84) just bought a new pc lappytop and it works ok (no problems yet 1 day old) at a fraction of the cost of a macbook.
I don't want a pc but having an apple notebook that can do both is really desirable. It is not desirable if it does not work
can anyone give reassurance that this may be a good purchace now or should I wait for the next thing after penrynn? like those rumoured new cases etc?
thanks
nervous nelly

while there are a lot of issues listed here its like looking at a hospital and assuming that is how all of the people on the planet are.
al vs plastic, well the plastic has a much harder time getting dented (it will just chip or crack if you hit it hard enough) but i have heard some people have issues with the magnet latch pulling to hard and cracking the plastic, not often though.
it really is a toss up because the plastic doesnt take well to grease and skin oils <Edited by Moderator>.
my brother has gone through 3 or 4 mac laptops in the last 5 years (company would replace them every so often) and between him, me (2 laptopls in 4 years) and my moms mac lap top. we have all together had less big issues (issues needing a repair) than my dad has had on his one dell in the last 2. again maybe not fair but still. i would trust a lot more riding on a mac laptop than any pc laptop the only exception i would give is for extreme abuse-ability to the Panasonic tough-books but macs are not built to be beat and soaked.
if you are not pushing your old machine to the breaking point or not in need of a new machine waiting will get you a cooler newer "better" machine. but if you need it now just get it now.

Print issue for smartform by zebra QL420plus in SAP

Hi All,
I created a smartform in SAP to print out label on zebra QL420Plus.
Current the key issue is that I can not print out smart form from SAP to QL420plus directly. I need to print some text from windows by notepad or word after I power on QL420plus. Then QL420plus seem to be active. So at this point I can print out smartfrom from SAP to QL420plus. I am not sure whats wrong with QL420plus equipment?
Thanks.

Issues with Crystal 2008 Printing to a Zebra Label Printer with SP2

Hi there
We are having issues printing to a Zebra Label Printer using Crystal 2008 SP2.
When you attached a .rpt file to the .NET Application which is accessed via RDP/ICA the reports in Crystal XI worked fine.
Steps we have taken are:
Printing direct from Crystal 2008 Designer to the Zebra Printer works using a Generic Text Driver
Printing direct from Crystal 2008 Designer to the Zebra Printer using a Zebra Universal Print Driver DOES NOT work (we were advised the Universal Print Driver may assist with the issue)
The report when accessed via the .NET Application via RDP/ICA using the Universal Print Driver it doesn't work.
The report when accessed via the .NET Application via RDP/ICA using the Generic Print Driver it doesn't work.
The report when accessed via the .NET Application drectly from Server Console prints fine using Generic Print Driver, but not with RDP/ICA.
Can anyone offer any suggestions to a fix?
Many thanks.

Hello,
I'll look at this tomorrow when I get into the office. An I am moving this to the developer forum.

Zebra Label Printing - DPI issue.

Hi Guru's,
I have a script for Zebra label printing. its an old script working fine. Now the issue is:
The above script is printing labels for 200 dpi printers as per the requirement.
Now one of the Markets have purchased 300 dpi printer. When the print the same label using the new printer using the script, they are getting the Label compressed.(i.e.. the Script is now much smaller and aligned to the left top corner, no data is missing but the Lettering is compressed and not occupying the total space alloted on the label).
I have chcked the manual for Zebra label printers, but could not solve my issue. Can any one of u help me. Thank you.
Here is extract of script used for initialisg the label:
/:   NEW-PAGE
/    ^XA
/    ^PW1200
/    DFI128FS
/    ^PRC
/    LH0,0FS
/    ^LL1500
/    ^LT12
/    ^MD0
/    ^MNY
/    CW1,B:CGTRI_NCW2,B:CGTRI_ICW3,B:CGTRI_BCW4,B:CGTRI_J^CW5
=    ,B:CGTRCO_NCW6,B:CGTRCO_ICW7,B:CGTRCO_J
/    LH0,0FS
Can anyone of you check this code & tell me where exactly the 'DPI' issue is handled in the script. Also any additions to the above script to acheive the solution....
regards,
Chaitanya L

Hi Balakrishnachaitanya,
i've made just a couple of sapscript whit the ZPL language, and i dont't think that you can set the DPI of print,
maybe you have to set the printer' settings.

Crystal Reports 2008 and printing with Zebra printer issue

Hello,
Since we have upgraded the reports from XI to 2008, the reports are not printing well in the Zebra printers.
The report gets shrunk to half the size.
Is there something that needs to be done after the upgrade?
Thanks in advance

Both, install it on your PC first and test. If all is well then build or use the various deployment packages available from our download site.
You may want to test this with a few reports also. Open the report and check off use Default printer and test other printer options. I don't know what options the QA team were using so it's best for you to test. If you don't have a Zebra printer ask one of your customers to do some testing for you.
According to Zebra Developers all their drivers are based on the same code so they should all work the same. Once you have one working they all should work using the same options.
Thank you
Don

Communication problem with Zebra printer

Post Author: rafu
CA Forum: .NET
Hi,I'm trying to write bidirectional communication with Zebra printer - e.g. send data to print and receive data read from tags. To send data it's possible to use WritePrinter methods described in internet, however I don't know how to get it?? In producer's manuals there is only example to printer connected by LPT1, my uses usb.Does anyone have any ideas??? Help please!rafu

I would look at XP's port configuration for the printer and then try and use the same protocol on the Mac. If XP is showing it as RAW Port 9100, then that is shown as HP jet Direct - Socket on the Mac. The only issue then is whether the OS X driver is available in the Lexmark list. Sometimes the provided OS X driver is only for direct USB connections, so you have to look at using an alternate driver, such as those offered by Gutenprint.

Assistance with Printing to Zebra QL220 using the LabVIEW report VI

I currently am trying to use the LabVIEW report VI to output a formatted set of strings to the above mentioned printer.
The UMPC hardware that runs the developed application is bare bones XP box and doesn't' have MS office installed
I use the LV new report set to a standard report and successfully set orientation to portrait or Landscape, set margins and set report fonts and headers.. However in sending the text strings to this label printer (labels are 45mm X 60mm) I find that that two issues arise.
1. Printing out double labels. The pagination fails and prints a blank label after each print when text is output. However if I disable all headers and body text (i.e blank label print). This pagination works fine.?
2. The formatting of the information on the page reliably, I currently use inserted blank spaces, is there a better way?
I thought, perhaps I should try using the ZLP programming language, but then not sure how to I send it to a USB printer? Has any one had any experience with this and these label printers ?
Thanks

Device type to be used for Zebra 220XiIII Printer

Hello All,
We are printing labels from SAP to the printer Zebra 220XiIII Printer using Adobe Print forms technology. When configuring the printer, we used the device type as PDF1. The print was fine in terms of data display and positioning of the text and barcodes but the issue is that it takes 30secs. to print each label. This was not acceptable as it is creating delays in Shipment.
To address the issue we changed the device type to LZEB3. The print was fast i.e., in 20 seconds the printer was able to print 5 labels but the font on the label is increased automatically because of which the data on the label is truncated.
Does any one have any ideas on what is the device type to be used and is there any specific font to be used?
Please note that we desinged the forms using ADOBE FORMS TECHNOLOGY. There are many notes in Service market place which are specific to Smart forms. Please come up with your ideas.
Regards,
Praveen T

Hi Florian,
Thank you for your response. We were able to fix the issue by changing the Device type to LZEB2.
For some reason YZB200, YZB300 and other device types which we found in the device type wizard did not work in our case. We did not investigate the reason as LZEB2 worked and we have time crunch

Printing chinese characters on a Zebra printer using Adobe Interactive Form

Hello,
We have created an Adobe Interactive Forms in SAP with some words in English and another one in simplified chinese. We have defined a Zebra printer in SPAD with the AZPL203 driver.
When we print the form in the zebra printer some of the chinese characters are printed and some of them no.
Has anyone faced the same problem?
Thanks a lot
Miquel A. Vergara

Hi,
Welcome you post on the forum.
However, this is not the right forum for you. It is only for SAP Business One user. Please search entire forums first to find which one is more proper.
However, this issue may not be related to SAP at all. Search on the web would be better.

SmartForms w/ Printronix SL4M RFID printer in Zebra emulation mode

Trying to get a basic Smartform to print using a new printer. It is a Printronix SL4M RFID printer that emulates several printer modes, including Zebra.
The printer was changed to Zebra mode, device type in SAP is LZEB2. Configuration printout on the printer shows it in Zebra mode and using a 203 dpi printer head. Configuration is all defaults (command prefix, label prefix, etc).
Output generates in SAP. Spool is ok. Print preview is ok. Completes with no errors in SAP. Physical printer is giving intermittent results. Usually, no output at all. One time, we got half a label that actually contained valid data. Sometimes we get "invalid data" messages on the printer. Last test spit out two blank labels.
Unfortunately the printer is in Germany and I am in the US. Going to try to change the printer to "ZGL QUIET". This is supposed to print out the ZPL code as text. Want to see if any control characters are getting changed. Also checking settings that are code page/language specific.
Looking for any suggestions. Thanks.
Norm

Gave up with SmartForms using the Zebra device type LZEB2. It was going to a Printronix printer that emulates a Zebra. Was not sure if it would work and had to move on. Will go back later and attempt.
Also, Printronix provides SAP device types for use through SmartForms. Others have used successfully. We had problems installing at our current release level.
Switched to SAPscript. Had issues with ZPL control characters being substituted in the default European configuration on the physical printer. Made changes and had some success.
Using one of the international character sets seems to be working.
European character set #300 - Latin 2 8859-2.
It does not replace the Zebra control characters for caret and tilda.
It also does not seem to replace the Printronix control characters caret, left and right curly brackets.
Added commands to the SAPscript layout set. Still need to perform some additional testing, but last tests were successful.
ZPL II command
^CI300
Printronix PGL command
^i300^-

Barcode not printing on Zebra printer

Hi All,
We are facing an issue while printing the barcode from ECC 5.0 using a smartform.
The problem is that the z program creates a spool when we click the print option but does not print the barcode in the zebra printer.Also when we try to print from spool directly it doesn't print anything.
We are on Ecc 5.0
zebra printer is Z4mplus.
Any help is appreciated and will be rewarded with points.
Thanks
Umang

Hi,
Please check with your Printer Vendor, whether it supports the Barcode font which you have used.
Also check for SAP notes. There are several sap notes on Zebra printer.

Printing Japanese Characters on Zebra ZM400 from Smartform

Hi Experts
I am trying to configure a Zebra ZM400 printer to print a Japanese label from a smartform but get no Japanese characters on the output.
The original language of the smartform is English, but I have maintained a translation in SE63 which uses the Andale_J font.
The printer ZM400 has the ANDMJ.TTF font installed and the printer has been set up in SPAD to use the LZEBU2 device type (which is the Zebra Printer Driver for 200dpi) and the Berkeley protocol (U).
When looking at the printer spool in graphical format I am getting the appropriate Japanese characters displayed, when looking in RAW format it appears to be using the correct font, FCANDALE_J, although the characters are represented as #'s. On the printer output, I get numbers or English where no translation has been maintained, but nothing where the Japanese characters should be.
Has anyone come across this problem before, or have any idea how to solve this issue?
Thanks very much
Andrew Beavan

Hi Aidan
Thanks for your swift response, as you may have guessed this is all very new to me and so I am struggling to make much progress.
I have uploaded the andale_j font to the printer which creates a file called anmdj.TTF. I have also uploaded a JIS.DAT file which should convert any TTF to unicode and a printer configuration file which should effectively set this font as the default.
I have tried to upload a TTF font in SAP using se73 and created a device type to go with this, however whenever I set the device type for the printer to this I get no print spool request generated. Based on your reply, I have created a style using the TTF font I uploaded, but again when I reference this in a smartform I get no errors displayed, but I also don't get a print spool request generated so I'm not convinced that the font has been loaded correctly into SAP.
I have just wiped the flash memory on the printer and am re-loading the font using a slightly different setting on the printer, so will try that, but welcome any further suggestions or clarifications if I have mis-understood your previous reply.
Many thanks for your help.
