10.1 Bar Code 3 of 9 Font Problem

We have several forms that use the bar code font 3 of 9. Since the 10.1 release the bar code has stopped rendering correctly. At the moment we are rolling back to 10.0.1 and that appears to resolve the issue however, it is a band-aid and I would like a real fix. Any advice is appreciated.

Looks like SKANDATA C39 Normal font.  This form has two bar codes on the
bottom.  One is static and that one works fine the other populates based
data entered into a form field and that is the one that breaks.  It looks
more like multiple box's rather than a bar code after it populates.

Subject:        10.1 Bar Code 3 of 9 Font Problem
Which bar code font are you using, exactly? Have you tried a font from a
different vendor/creator to see if a different font works?
Some of the free bar code fonts are not the highest quality. Since they
are so simple and easy to make, quality can suffer if the creator is not
aware all the issues.

    Could any one help us what may be issue while printing from SAP SCript , SAP is not printing the actual BAR Code same as MS Word.

    Hi,
    Each Code 39 printer can also print 'Extended Code 39' barcodes. It is only the Bar Code scanner that must be switched to 'Extended Code39'.
    In a Code 39 Barcode you can use the characters 0-9, A-Z and the characters -. $/+%
    For an Extended Code 39 barcode a combinition of these characters get a special meaning. See the link below:

  • BAR CODES in smartforms - conversion problems to PDF

    Hello,
    I have a problem. Have a look at the following points and see what I have done:
    1. I generated several different system bar codes using SM73
    2. I added those system bar codes to a smartformstyle
    3. and built a smartform using smartformstyle of system-bar codes.
    4. then I made some examples of bar codes in the smartform as text.
    5. next I sent this smartform via email as an pdf attachment using smartform mail functionality.
    6. shocking - all bar codes in the pdf-file are not readable. You can see that there is a barcode placed, but all barcodes looks like the same.
    Has somebody got a idea on what is going on here?
    I already had a look at OSS Notes 430887 and 645158.

    Hi,
       You create a bar code or change a bar code in the font maintenance transaction (transaction SE73). To do this, proceed as follows:

  • Problem: Bar Codes Font Embed in PDF Report

    Hi folks.
    I'm having a few problems with Reports 9i.
    Fact: Oracle 9iAS Release 2 with Red Hat Linux 7.3
    I'm trying to print a PDF report that uses a Type 1 Barcode Font (X317349A) using the new PDF EMBED feature of Reports Server 9i.
    Following the doc:210318.1 of Metalink i did the following things:
    - Put the X317349A.afm, X317349A.pfa and X317349A.pfb in the $ORACLE_HOME/reports/samples/demo
    - Put the myreport.rdf in the $ORACLE_HOME/reports/samples/demo.
    - Put the the following line in section [ PDF:Embed ] of uifont.ali file:
    X317349A = "X317349A.afm X317349A.pfa"
    This fonts works with a sequence of "w" and "n" to form the bar code, and acrobat reader is showing just w and n sequence instead of the bar codes.
    Does anybody have a suggestion of what else can i do??
    Thank you all.
    Marcus Santos ([email protected])

    Hello,
    First, generate an output with DESFORMAT=HTML and check the font name used in the output.
    Then, check that the file QUICASB_.TTF exists in a directory of REPORTS_PATH (take care to the case sensitivity on UNIX)
    Check that the file uifont.ali is ok (use the utilty mfontchk)
    Check the "precedence" in the file uifont.ali

  • Problems on scanning BAR CODES

    Hi people!
    I have to print bar codes from an abap report and then scan. I've done the first part (printing) but I just can't scan the code I print. Does someone have an idea?
    Thanks,
    Rodrigo.

    Hi Rodrigo,
    Didn't know you could produce Barcodes from ABAP reports - how did you do this? As Christian said, you could also make the font bigger. What are the barcode specs? Sometimes, you need to have the ratios between the "thin" and "thick" lines set up based onthe type of scanner you use. You can manipulate these settings through the Bar Code Settings via SE73.
    This is how you can do it. Let's assume you are using a HP1200 Device Type and a Code 128A Barcode Font. From SE73, click on the "Printer Bar Codes" Radio button and select Display.
    Double Click on the HP1200 Device Type and you will see all the Bar Codes that have been set up for that Device Type. Find "C128A_00" and single click on the Prefix 'SBP25' and hit the "Displ. Print Control" button.
    This Prefix is the external printer control command that SAP will pass to the printer in the printer's language. Once you hit the "Disp. Print Control" button a popup will appear, now look at the Control Char. Seq. This is the printer command for this particular Barcode font. All the characteristics relating to Barcode Font, Size, Height, Spacing, Ratios, etc are defined here.
    Because these commands are in the Printer's Native Language, you will need to get the relevant programming guide for your printer to know what values to manipulate.
    Let me know if you need more info.
    Cheers,
    Pat.
    P.S. Kindly aloocate Reward Points as appropriate.

  • How to implement bar code font in BIpublisher?

    I have pasted bar code font file in c:\WINDOWS\font(true type) location,
    then i pasted bar code font file in many folders viz.C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\fonts and also in
    C:\Program Files\Oracle\BI Publisher\BI Publisher Desktop\Template Builder for Word\fonts ....
    i have made changes in XDOEXAMPLE.CFG to rename it to XDO.CFG after changing fontfamily and

    <font family="IDAutomationHC39M" style="normal" weight="normal">
    <truetype path="C:\jre6\lib\fonts\IDAutomationHC39M_Free.ttf" />
    </font>
    i have also installed bar code font which i can get in MICROSOFTword but when i preview the template then i get a javaioexception error saying it cannot find the path
    plz help me asap

    use xmlpublisher if your oracle version is supprting. Download the font from IDautomatiion,
    else you can also directly incorporate in your report. Here are the steps:
    1. Download and install the font on the machine that Reports Builder and Server will be running.
    - Windows is a simple matter of copying the IDAutomationC128M.ttf to the C:\WINNT\fonts directory.
    - Unix is very complex. Use the following note to assist in installing the font:
    a. Set the DISPLAY environment variable to the expected final IP Address that
    the Reports Server will be using. Every time the DISPLAY is set to a different
    IP Address, the available fonts will be different.
    b. To capture the results of the commands, use the "script" utility.
    In any directory that you have write permissions, do the following:
    #script fonts.trc
    #echo $DISPLAY
    #xset -q
    #xlsfonts -u|grep iso8859-1
    #exit
    c. You also need access to the uifont.ali found in:
    Developer 6i: $ORACLE_HOME/guicommon6/tk60/admin
    Developer 9i: $ORACLE_HOME/guicommon9/tk90/admin
    2. Create the report and reference the new barcode font.
    3. Verify that the output displays the barcode.
    4. Attached the IDAUTOMATION.pll that is downloadable with this note.
    5. Edit the Property Inspector for the field.
    6. Create a format trigger the encodes the value:
    Example:
    function F_barcode1FormatTrigger return boolean is
    begin
    srw.set_field_char(0,idautomation.code128b(:barcode1));
    return (TRUE);
    end;
    7. Compile and close the trigger.
    8. Now the barcode is encoded with start and end codes.

    Is there anything that I did wrong or is it generally not working with CR4E to use a simple barcode font?
    When I use ReportExportFormat.MSWord or ReportExportFormat.crystalReports it works fine but unfortunately
    out customers insist on PDF. Any help would be appreciated very much.
    The bar code  font I am using is from http://www.barcodesinc.com/free-barcode-font/
    Edited by: Lothar Bernecker on Dec 3, 2009 3:12 PM

    I think there's issues with that Barcode TrueType font and Java.
    You can try a Java app (such as the sample demo app that comes with Java) and try viewing that font.
    You'd need to use a different barcode font.
    Sincerely,

  • Use of Bar Codes in reports and fonts

    Thanks in advance and best regards,
    Andrea Cozzani

    Hi Edmar
    I think the solution is for every user who is seeing the Reports PDF output in the browser, to have the relevent font in Acrobat. We have introduced Single Byte Type 1 Font Embedding and True Type font subsetting features in Reports 9i and if the resultant pdf output has any of these font types, you can use these features. In this case, user does not need to have the Font installed.
    Also In Reports 9i, you can create a bar code font report using Barcode bean. Please have a look at
    http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/examples/index.html
    for more detail.
    Thanks

    which fonts i should use in printing the Report in Network printer under AIX Environment.No idea, I don't work on AIX. Try this site:
    http://www.idautomation.com/
    2D bar codes are not supported in Reports. You will need a Java solution. See this thread:
    Re: how to use 2 d barcodes in reports 6i
    This thread also has the suggestion to create the 2D bar code as an image. Of course, you still need some other program to create this image first.

  • Bar Code Font Embedding within PDF report

    With a special postal code bar code installed on the 10gR2 application server to the %WINDIR%\fonts folder how should the UIFONT.ALI be configured to ensure the font is embedded within a PDF generated (WIN32 application servers)
    If specified within the [PDF:Subset]
    "Quick Address 4State BarCode" = "QUICASB_.TTF"
    It would appear that the font is required at the client opening the PDF in order to view the barcode; the font is not being embeded within the PDF.
