Adobe and Zebra printer

Hello All,
I have two questions on this topic:
Has anyone use Adobe forms and print a label using zebra printer? Currently we are using smartforms and we have to send command to rotate the text in the label. Will the Adobe forms works without the need of sending rotate command?
Also, would like to check on how to utilize different printer fonts that is available in zebra printer. In smartforms, only Helvetica font is supported and if you need additional fonts, you need to create a print control for it. By using Adobe forms, I'm hoping there is an easy way to do this. I read some documentation that in order to add the fonts, we need to put the font file in a certain directory and that's it. I'm not sure if this also valid for zebra printer.
Any info would be appreciated. I'm trying to make a case that by going to Adobe form at least for printing solution/non interactive forms, will help the form programmer to expedite the form design compared to smartforms especially when dealing with zebra printer.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Bill,
yes it works - we use it productive for half an year to print barcodes and so on...it works good, if you have configured it well...i will try to give you some helpful hints:
1. If ADS is not configured yet in your installation use the guide "Adobe Document Services Configuration for SAP NetWeaver 7.0"
2. read SAP Note 685571 - it describes how to install the xdc file for Zebra Printers into the sap system (you have to install it on the system your sap runs - not the ads system). The appropriate device type is the AZPL203 (we tried a little bit to find this out)
3. in SPAD define a Printer, use devicetype AZPL203, if your Zebra Printer is connected via LAN (i recommend this) use the host spool access method "C - direct operating system call"
4. be sure to have a zebra printer supporting ZPL2 - for example first we tried it with Zebra TPL 282x series - it doesn´t worked - then we found out that the printer model must support ZPL2.0 for Adobe Printing, now we use a newer model the Zebra TPL 2824 PLUS with integrated LAN interface.
5. and last but not least !!! if you are using a windows printserver, you have to use the driver "ZPL TLP 2824 Plus (ZPL)"
(6. try to use the most recent patches for your ads system)
good luck - i would be glad to hear from you.
best regards
Winfried

Adobe Label Zebra Printer SSCC Barcode

Urgently require help.
We have developed a SSCC EAN-128 barcode label using the Adobe Form Designer, and are having difficulties getting the barcode to look right on the printed label.
The barcode needs to be 78mm width by 38mm high as a minimum. It is printing out as 40mm width by 36 high.
Also the barcode number needs to be imbedded at the bottom of the label, and it is appearing above the barcode when printed.
A print preview of the label is perfect, exactly how we require the label.
The printer is defined as follows:
Device Type: PDF1: PDF ISO Latin-1
Device Class: Standard printer
Host Spool Access Method: C Direct Operating System Call
Host Printer:
xxxx\warehouse
Host Name: ????
Query status through polling: disabled
Printer is a Zebra Label Printer
As far as we can tell the xdc file created by sap to send the output to the printer needs to be modified.
Guidenance/Advice welcome.

Hi David,
I feel that your query sounds very much like a good case for a customer message rather than a forum post in SDN.
Firstly, I think you need to change the device type to either AZPL203 or AZPL300. For more information, see the SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/08/2259400d9d1059e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
If you also think that the XDC file needs to be adapted, please have a look at SAP Note 766410 (and the document mentioned therein) to see what kind of changes to these files are possible and supported.

UPS Maxicode in Adobe Forms - non-zebra printer

Hey guys,
I have a problem regarding printing an UPS Maxicode on a regular printer (HP Laserjet P3015) in Adobe Forms: It just won't print.
I'm using the "UPS Maxicode" object in the "barcode" library (LCD ES3, Version 10.4). After some research, I found this guide:
UPS maxicode on SAP Adobe forms - Contributor Corner - SCN Wiki
The scripting described there works great for printing the UPS Maxicode on a zebra printer - but the non-zebra printer scripting doesn't work for me.
There isn't much to find about this on google, so I hope you guys can help me. I experimented with printers, device types (i.e. PDF1) and such, but the result remains the same. What else can I try? Am I missing something?
Thanks for your time / help,
Chris

You can find some information about it in this document:

See chapter 12, see also chapters: 6, 7, 8 and 11.
good luck

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

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.

Zebra printing in web dynpro/Adobe

Hello,
We have zebra label print designs in place (we dont want to design using adobe designer). Now we would like to enable subcontractors to print them online using web dynpro/Portal.
1. one way I identified is send the zebra spool as a file and save it in the local disks and print it using zebra printer.
Whats the better and efficient way to approach? How everybody is doing this?. Doesnt SAP have any solutions?.
Thanks ,
Raj.

SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe comes with ABAP backend print support for Zebra label printers.
However, as with all backend printing the required output formats are placed in the spool. To my knowledge, there is no standard SAP way to make these spool-based formats available for print in a Web Dynpro application. In addition, note that in the ABAP backend SAP doesn't print from the PDF, which for these processes has only got a preview function. Depending on the scenario, printing is done from PS, PCL or ZPL through the corresponding SAP device types.

Communication problem with Adobe 9.0 and HP Printer when I scan

I'm having a problem getting a .pdf file to come up when I scan from a HP 5610 All-in-one printer. Have uninstalled and reinstalled HP software three times but when I scan and want a pdf file it won't communicate with Adobe 9.0 reader for some reason. Is there a setting in Adobe reader that's a problem?
Thanks.

Thanks...found out that an HP5610xi All-in-One will not completely communicate with Adobe 9.0 Had to go to Adobe 6.0

In CC214 PS Why has adobe removed the "print Size Button" And why have they made the Brush preview window so small you can't see the effects to accurately adjust them?

In CC214 PS Why has adobe removed the "print Size Button" And why have they made the Brush preview window so small you can't see the effects to accurately adjust them?
These two things need to be remedied in their upgrades because It's become such a bother I've had to revert to older versions of PS.

Yea, and it's a pain to get to. What was the rational for removing the print size button? With the magnifying glass tool selected in older versions of Photoshop you would get a button that says "print size" right next to Actual pixels, Fit Screen, Fill Screen. Now I have to go out of my way and dig for it if I want to see the print size. Of all the buttons you could have taken away, why not fill screen? I never use that.
Besides the point I just downloaded the Oct Upgrade for PS and surprise! Nothing has changed and these are two big black eyes on newer versions of Photoshop. The Brush preview window is unchanged in CC but in CC2014 it's basically worthless. If you apply a texture to a brush you can't properly see the scale of the texture, the spacing, scatter, etc...

I just installed Adobe CreatePDF desktop printer, when I try to use from Word or Excel, it does not work. The Adobe print queue says "error" in the status screen. I have uninstalled and re-installed. Any ideas of what to do next?

I just installed Adobe CreatePDF desktop printer on a Windows 7 home PC. When I try to use from Word or EWxcel, it does not print. The Adobe print device queue reports an "error" in the status column.

Adobe retired this Feb 17, 2014.
This app sent content to and got content from the web based services of "CreatPDF" and "PDF Pack".
These are subscription services out in "the cloud". When the app was live you had to be online and signed into your account. The user forum for CreatePDF has a DOC that speaks to the app removal.
Be well...

Adobe Photoshop CS6 and Canon printer problem!!

Use Photoshop CS6 to edit and print (try to print) to a new Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer. Photoshop is up to date and the Mac runs OS 10.8.5 - Canon printer driver is current at ver. 11.7.1.
When I print from Photoshop to the Pro-100 (let's say a 4X6 landscape snapshot to 4X6 borderless paper) the printer starts up and moves the paper out about 4 inches and then prints the
first two inches of the image, stops and ejects the paper!. I've tried different versions of printer the printer driver and made sure every things is up to date. However, I can print from MS Word,
Nikon Capture NX2, or Canon's own Print Studio Pro and it works fine. Canon is no help because if it works OK with their Print Studio Pro then it's not their issue - I tend to agree with them.
The same thing happens print from Photoshop to 5X7 or 8X10 paper - it gets ejected so far and then only prints part of the image. I've searched the Internet and posted in Forums but can't find
where any one would have the same problem. What I'm hoping for here is someone at from Adobe who's knows Photoshop tech stuff will post here with suggestion because there is no more
phone support for Photoshop CS6. I'd like to really keep this printer and get Photoshop to work with it but if I can't I'm going to offer it up free to a good home! JM Davis

Thanks for your answer, indeed this fixed the problem. Quite stupid I did not see this myself

Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with re

Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with reddish cast and loss of detail
System: Windows 7
Adobe CS5
Printer: Epson Stylus Photo 1400
Paper: Inkjet matte presentation paper with slight luster
Installed latest patch for Adobe CS5
Epson driver up to date
After reading solutions online and trying them for my settings for 2 days I am still unable to print what I am seeing on my screen in Adobe CS5. I calibrated my monitor, but am not sure once calibration is saved if I somehow use this setting in Photoshop’s color management.
The files I am printing are photographs of dogs with lots of detail I digitally painted with my Wacom tablet in Photoshop CS5 and then printed with Epson Stylus 1400 on inkjet paper 20lb with slight luster.
My Printed images lose a lot of the detail & come out way to dark with a reddish cast and loss of detail when I used these settings in the printing window:
Color Handling: Photoshop manages color, Color management -ICM, OFF no color adjustment.
When I change to these settings in printer window: Color Handling: Printer manages color. Color management- Color Controls, 1.8 Gamma and choose Epson Standard it prints lighter, but with reddish cast and very little detail and this is the best setting I have used so far.
Based on what I have read on line, I think the issue is mainly to do with what controls are set in the Photoshop Color Settings window and the Epson Printer preferences. I have screen images attached of these windows and would appreciate knowing what you recommend I enter for each choice.
Also I am confused as to what ICM color management system to use with this printer and CS5:
What is the best ICM to use with PS CS5 & the Epson 1400 printer? Should I use the same ICM for both?
Do I embed the ICM I choose into the new files I create?
Do I view all files in the CS5 workspace in this default ICM?
Do I set my monitor setting to the same ICM?
If new file opens in CS5 workspace and it has a different embedded profile than my workspace, do I convert it?
Do I set my printer, Monitor and PS CS5 color settings to the same ICM?
Is using the same ICM for all devices what is called a consistent workflow?
I appreciate any and all advice that can be sent my way on this complicated issue. Thank you in advance for your time and kind help.

It may be possible to figure out by watching a Dr.Brown video on the subject of color printing. Adobe tv
I hope this may help...............

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

Adobe Flash 11.9.900.152: objects not showing in print preview and not printing

When I select print from Adobe Flash 11.9.900.152, objects are not showing in print preview and not printing on the printer. I have tried to print from both MS Internet Explorer and Google Chrome--neither work.
I am using:
Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pak 1

or
Google Chrome 31.0.1650.57 m
How do I resolve this issue?

What is it you're trying to print?

When printing to the dye sublimation epson stylus pro 7700 using adobe illustrator it is required that I mirror the image. When mirroring the image the print colors are muted. Not mirrored and the print colors are perfect. Any suggestions?

Adobe X no print dialog box and program closes when printing

Have one user who started encountering this problem today:
Opens up PDF
Clicks on the Print icon (or File - Print)
The Print Dialog box never appears
Adobe 10.1.1 program then immediately closes - nothing in the event log
Able to get the PDF to print only if right clicking on the file and selecting Print (but don't get to select any Printing options)
Have tried selecting a different printer with the same results
Have uninstalled and reinstalled the program
Any help is appreciated

I have a similar problem with the the same printer. Excel works fine until you ask to print preview, this takes about a minute to appear, and about another minute if you ask it to print too. Once you've printed and are back in Excel anything you try to do now has a delay. I've tried then changing the printer i want to use to a networked one which makes Excel return to it's normal self.
I've also tried sharing this printer to make sure it wasn't the PC but it is the same on any I've tried.
