3D Bar code printing

Hi,
I was asked to print sample documents using 3D Bar code. Does anyone have any idea on this? Any hints would be really helpful.
Thank you,
Chandra

Hi
Do u want it in scripts or smartforms???
A barcode solution consists of the following:
- a barcode printer
- a barcode reader
- a mobile data collection application/program
A barcode label is a special symbology to represent human readable information such as a material number or batch number
in machine readable format.
There are different symbologies for different applications and different industries. Luckily, you need not worry to much about that as the logistics supply chain has mostly standardized on 3 of 9 and 128 barcode symbologies - which all barcode readers support and which SAP support natively in it's printing protocols.
You can print barcodes from SAP by modifying an existing output form.
Behind every output form is a print program that collects all the data and then pass it to the form. The form contains the layout as well as the font, line and paragraph formats. These forms are designed using SAPScript (a very easy but frustratingly simplistic form format language) or SmartForms that is more of a graphical form design tool.
Barcodes are nothing more than a font definition and is part of the style sheet associated with a particular SAPScript form. The most important aspect is to place a parameter in the line of the form that points to the data element that you want to represent as barcode on the form, i.e. material number. Next you need to set the font for that parameter value to one of the supported barcode symbologies.
The next part of the equation can be a bit tricky as you will need to get a printer to print that barcode font. Regular laser printers does not normally print barcode fonts, only specialized industrial printers that is specifically designed to support that protocol and that uses specialized label media and heat transfer (resin) ribbon to create the sharp image required for barcodes.
Not to fear though, there are two ways to get around this:
- You can have your IT department do some research -
most laser printers can accept a font cartridge/dimm chip (similar to computer memory), called a BarDIMM that will allow a laser printer to support the printing of barcodes.
- Secondly, you can buy software that you can upload in your SAP print Server that will convert the barcode symbology as an image that will print on a regular laser printer. I found that this option results in less sharper barcodes. This option is really if you need to convert a large quantity of printers (>10) to support barcodes.
- Thirdly, you can buy a third party software like Barcode.dll and install on your frontend PC connected to the laser printer.
Now you have a barcode printed - what next?
Well there are two options, depending on your business requirements:
- You can use an existing SAP transaction on a regular workstation and get a barcode wedge reader to hook up between the keyboard and the PC. These wedge readers comes in a wand or scanner format. There are even wireless wedge scanners available that allows you to roam a few yards from the workstation to scan a label. This approach is mostly used where you want to prevent human errors in typing in long material, batch or serial numbers in receiving or issuing of material. The problem is that it's just replacing the keyboard input and you are basically locked down in one location and have to bring all the material to that location to process.
- Another solution is to use SAPConsole transactions
or write your own ABAP Dialog programs that will fit onto a barcode enabled wireless handheld terminal and that will follow the business logic as executed on the shop floor.
These programs are highly complex exercises in industrial engineering and ergonomics because of the limited screen sizes and limited ability to accept keyboard input. The user is instructed step-by-step and only scan and push F-keys to interact with the SAP system. Scan, scan, beep, beep, enter - highly automated.
Only Se71 is used to create a barcode
To Create a Bar code prefix:
1) Go to T-code - SPAD -> Full Administration -> Click on Device Type -> Double click the device for which you wish to create the print control -> Click on Print Control tab ->Click on change mode -> Click the plus sign to add a row or prefix say SBP99 (Prefix must start with SBP) -> save you changes , it will ask for request -> create request and save
2) Now when you go to SE73 if you enter SBP00 for you device it will add the newly created Prefix
Create a character format C1.Assign a barcode to the character format.Check the check box for the barcode.
The place where you are using the field value use like this
<C1> &itab-field& </C1>.
You will get the field value in the form of barcode.
Which barcode printer are you using ? Can you download this file and see.

Bar Code Printing

Hi,
I want to write a bar code printing program, Can anyone guide me and give me a sample program and how it works documentation.
Regards
Jiku

Hi,
check this link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/68/4a0d5b74110d44b1b88d9b6aa1315b/content.htm
You create a bar code or change a bar code in the font maintenance transaction (transaction SE73). To do this, proceed as follows:
¡        Start transaction SE73, and choose System Bar Codes ® Change.
¡        If you create a bar code, the system asks whether you want to use the new bar code technology or traditional system bar codes. Choose New.
You can enter a name and a description for the bar code. Note that the name must begin with a Z to avoid conflict between your bar codes and the standard bar codes.
¡        You are asked which bar code symbology and which bar code alignment is to be used, both when creating and when changing bar codes. For information about what you should specify for the requested parameters, see the SAP Note 645158 in the SAP Service Marketplace. This SAP Note is always kept up-to-date.
       2.      If you have created a new bar code, you must now add this to a Smart Style as a character format.
3.      You can now select text in Smart Forms and choose the corresponding style with the bar code as the character format for this text.
Hope it helps.

How to install bar code printer.

Dear All,
A issue in my company that i have to install BAR code printer.But i dont have any idea how to install BAR code in sap..AS i m the BASIS guy this is the first time i m facing this issue...plz tell me how to resolve this...

Hi,
yes, same way as you doing for other printer in SPAD
just select your device from device type in Device attribute
then select your appropriate host spool access method and host printer.
SE73 is use for font maintenance which are use in SAP script .
also check following forum to define printer

Regarding Bar Code Printing in SMART FORMS

Hi All,
I need to print a Bar Code in the output for Material Field on Header Data.
For this in smart styles:
I have decalred a style Character Format: BM by choosing Bar Code Name: RUECKNR
Then in Layout set code of Smartform i have decalred the same in following way:
<b>Material No: &G_MAT_NO& <BM>&G_MAT_NO&</></b>
But in output it is showing as below:
<b>Material No: 60000001 <BM>60000001</></b>
It is not showing any barcode for Material Number!
Can anybody solve this issue!
Thanks,
Deep.

Hi,
Choose the style name in output options of the text.
Click the field list on/off button.From the list of the fields displayed,drag G_MAT_NO[don't type manually] from there to text element. Then select Text editor and then in that go to -> change editor.
Insert the character created in style ( Say BM) in that change editor. That will display the barcode for date.
Material No: &G_MAT_NO& <BM>&G_MAT_NO&</>

BAR Code Print Using Font Free 3 of 9 Extendted

HI,
We have installed BAR Code Font TTF file for Code 3 0f 9 Extended using se73 in SAP as well same in windows.
Scaneer show 100% confidance (recognize well) while printing the text from MS Word( Testing Purpose). but while Printing from SAP Sscript scanner dont recognize the print bar code( We have installed the same font by SE73) in SAP.
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.
Rgds
Bansal

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 printing in SAPscript form

Hello everyone,
Please help me with barcodes printing problem:
We are using ECC 6.0, and printer HPLJ 2300 series PCL 6
I have installed BARCODE.DLL, and it is located in my local PC, in folder SAPgui\SAPlpd, i.e. where SAPlpd.exe file is locating.
I printed assets bar code labels using tc S_ALR_87010137, and using script form FIAA_0003, but in print preview there were just solid boxes and after print-out there were no boxes at all, just text! Then I created new script form and assigned new barcode type, but printed barcodes were still invisible on the paper list.
Where is the problem?

Just do the following check items-
1) try to print any standard form ( PO, SO etc.) from SAP printer but not through local printer. ( Spool should not be generated; check it in sp02.)
2) If it printed perfectly, then it is supposed to print the barcode too. You cannot print the barcodes using the local printers. Usually it required special printers
( zebra etc..).
else if it is not printing properly tell the basis that they havenot configured the printer properly.
we are doing presently printing of barcodes using both zebra & sap printers.
Let me know, when you are through this basic check list.

How to change predefine bar code size in smartform style

hi,
in smartstyles--character setting, when we define barcode, there is one bar code "BC_C128B" with width 9CM. May i know how to change it into smaller size. Thanks.
regards,
BK

Try this:
Go to SE73 transaction code
Look for the barcode you want.
Go to edit mode make a copy of this.
change the width and height to the one you want.
Attach this new barcode in the device type you are using in printer barcodes button in SE73
In the prefix - create a new printer control eg. SBP99
in the control sequence part:
eg.
BY2,3.0,80BCN,,N,N,N,N^FD>9
The 80 here corresponds to 1 cm height. This is in DPI and depends on the zebra label printer default.
Download ZPL II programming guide in Zebra website to give you more details on the commands to use.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Can you provide the information how you declared the style for bar code and the font family for that bar code.
and also provide the deceleration in the smart form if possible with screen shot.

Bar Code Printing in Report under AIX Env

Dear All,
Iam using Oracle forms11g, Reports11g,Oracle11g DB in AIX Env.
My client sys is window 7. When i try to print report in a Network Printer i can able to print report.
But if any field having barcode , which is not printing.
Please guide any solution for this..
Thanks in advance
a

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.
