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.

I created a header to display company name. In header I kept solid black color as background and company name in white color in foreground with Arial 8 font.
when I print the label all runtime values are printed but the header with black background only printing. The white text on the black background is not printing.
Kindly tell me what I should do to print white color text on black background in ZEBRA printer?
Note: the print is working fine with laser printer problem comes when printed on ZEBRA printer.

2. and trying to print on Zebra printer
Questions:
1. smartform is not printing on zebra printer
2. suggest me if there are any ways to print smartform on zebra printer
3. does it requires any native programming language for printing labels on zebra printer
Best Regards,

hi Krishna,
This printer does not support ZPL2 so I thnk you cnnot use the device types like LZEB2. It should work to print via windows and a device type like SAPWIN or SWINCF.

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

Increase print rate, print speed zebra printer (zpl)

Hello,
first I start with release info:
SAP system N22 (only ABAP system), which calls Adobe Form processing
Windows 2008 SP1
Oracle 11
SAP ECC 6.0
SAPKB70103
SAPKH60403
SAP ADS system AD0 (only Java system):
Windows 2003 SP2
Oracle 10
SAP Netweaver 7.0 Java with Enhancement Package 1
Versioninformation given by report FP_PDF_TEST_00: 802.20090618120017.572641
We use a ordinary Zebra printer with internal print server (ZM400-200E-0100T).
In N22 there is an output device defined with device type "AZPL203 : ZPL203 for pdf documents only".
Printing works but print speed/rate is always lowest (2 Inch/s) and I find no SAP-way changing it. (Why SAP does not give maxmimum speed in zpl?)
Lowest speed in ZPL-code is represented by ^PRA . I find this string:
- in spool files on N22 (example: SPOOL0000014926_00001.zpl)
- in xdc file on AD0: E:\usr\sap\AD0\SYS\global\AdobeDocumentServices\lib\zpl203.xdc, line: "<seq id="startDoc">XA
PRALH0,3
XZ
</seq>"
Changing the string in that file does not work. Creating a complete new output device in N22 with new xdc file zzpl203.xdc does not work too.
Another way of changing print speed is described in the documentation "SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe, customizing Printing Workflows, (SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SPS13 or higher), Document Version 2.0 - August 2007". In chapter 4.3 "Changing the print speed setting" is described a job profile named ZPLSettings.xml, which should be used. In that file I do not find printRate.
Who can help?
Kind Regards

Hi Ale,
You dont need a Zebra bar one tool for printing graphics from smartforms. You need to have propers drivers and proper settings in place. Take a look at the OSS notes 750772 - Information on the ZPL-II printer driver for SmartForms
Check the point 5 in the above oss notes:
5) Support of bitmap graphics
Colored bitmap graphics from SmartForms are changed to black and white when you print from the LZPL printer driver. If the picture quality is affected by this conversion, change the graphic to B/W with a graphics program (such as PaintShop Pro), and import it to SmartForms as as a black and white graphic. Monochrome graphics are not converted by the driver. However, all graphics may be justified to adjust the size of the graphic to the printer resolution (203, 300 or 600 dpi).
During the import to SmartForms, you have the option to flag a bitmap as "resident". In this case, the LZPL printer driver saves the graphic in the RAM of the printer when it first occurs (Device "R:" of the zebra printer). At the end of the spool request, the driver deletes the graphic again from the printer's RAM, so that no more memory remains occupied.
Resident graphics during label printing from SmartForms are therefore only faster if more than one label is printed within a spool request, and the resident graphic is repeated on each label.
I hope this info helps.

Printing on Zebra printer

Hi
We are using zebra printer model TLP3844-z. We are facing following problem. When we are printing only labels it is printing through SAP but as soo as we add image to that label it is not printing through SAP. But at the same time from zebra label designer program it prints the same image along with label prints.
What could be the problem?
Thanks in advance

You have to setup a printer i SAP (transaktion SPAD) with device-type LB_ZEB or LB_ZEB2.
Sometimes, if the SAP standard is not enough, one have to create a device-type of your own, preferably based on one of the above.
Secondly, you need to create SAPscript form or SmartForm in SAP together
This means that you need to know the programminglanguage of the Zebra-printer so can adress the page, change font etc.
This together with an ABAP-program which reads the data that you want to print. This is all developer-work.
Last, you need to configure that, e g when printing adress label you should trigger the abap to print your label. This is either the work of an experienced programmer or an application worker.

White fonts on black background printing with zebra printer

Hello,
I've created a label in Adobe forms, which should be printed with a ZEBRA 220XiIII plus.In the label there is a text that should be printed in white fonts on a black background. The problem is that when I print the label, the white text is not printed, I have only a black background. The print preview is ok, and if I print the label on a laser printer it is ok too.
Does someone have any idea?
Thanks.

Smart form rotate 90 degrees with Zebra printer

Hi Experts,
We are using smart form to design label which need be printed by Zebra printer, and the label need be printed in landscape. Currently we are using the Zebra command '^FWR' in smartform to rotate the field in each window, but the rotated format is very strange. Can anyone let me know how the rotate command work?
It would be highly appreicated if an rotate example can be provided.
Many thanks.
Benny.

The Zebra command ^FWR rotates each individual field by 90 degrees (clockwise). But then you'll have to adjust position of each field again for landscape output.
In ZPL II printer language is no command for rotating label by 90 degrees. The printer driver doesn't understand "orientation=LANDSCAPE".
A slightly better solution could be to define a smartform with portrait orientation. Add a "command node" in first window and enter attribute name "S_LZPL_SETUP" with value '^FWR'.
Please note that this command doesn't has an effect on barcodes. They have their own parameters for rotation. Please define these parameters in SE73 for each barcode type your're using.

Smartforms in Zebra Printer - Landscape Format

Hi all,
I have two issues....Kindly help me in this regard.
1) I have developed 9 labels in smart forms (all to be printed in Zebra printer) of which 4 should be in Landscape format. I have changed the settings in my smart form(Page>OutputOption>Landscape) for the 4 labels.So, when I give the printout of all the 9 labels these 4 alone should be in Landscape format ad the rest in Portrait format.
But, every label comes in Portrait format only.
2) In the above label in 1 particular label half of the label is completely black and only remaining half is seen.
I have used the device type :- ZLZEB2 based on the SAP Notes 750002 and 750772.
Kindly help me in this regard as the requirement is pretty urgent.Any information would be helpful.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramky.G

Hello Martin,
Yes, I know about the sap-notes and have tried the tips too. However, the printout is all mugged up on the same line. This my problem. I will try with new-line command and see if the lines print would be seperated line for line.
Do you have an example for me, with screen shots etc?
However, thanks. I have given points
Blacky.

Label Print on Zebra

Hi Gurus,
I am changing one output from normal A4 printer to Zebra printer which is now printed on top of A4 size. This paper is cut and pasted by user. I have set up zebra printer. ABAP guy has made the changes. From his prospective, all changes are done (when he made some changes the label is rotated 180 degree). But, the print is still not coming right. It is still in portriat and only left topmost part in printed on label. The oriantation of label is not changed from portrait to lanscape. Has anyone come accross this issue earlier? How to resolve this issue to change orientation to 90 degree.
Thanks in advance

Rotation of label using smartforms by 90 deg using zebra printer

Hi,
I am facing one problem using smartforms for label printing. Since the zebra printer which is being used requires 90 deg rotation of form for the normal smartform design. I have even tried using ZPL commands by using ^FWR command in the window attributes but the text within that window only gets rotated and each line gets overwritten on one another. Please let me know if it s possible to rotate the complete form in smartform for label printing using zebra printer.
Thanks and Regards

ZEBRA - customize BARCODE not Printing

HI All,
I have created a label using Bar-One, everything works and prints out fine using the Zebra printer, however I've added a barcode in my label and it doesn't printout at all.
This barcode is uses Code 128 and passes in Material Number from the print program I've created.
I've also tried added a fixed barcode to print, and this time it prints out.
Is there anything i missed out when i need the barcode to be printing using a customized identifier that passes value from my print program?
Please help
Thanks in advance.
CW

Hi Rich,
I am not sure which part of the code that prints the barcode because its encripted code from Bar-One.
but it goes:
NEW-PAGE
^XFKPM_DE-2.ZPL
FN999FD&ZD_BARCODE&^FS
FN998FD&ZD_BRGEW&^FS
which &ZD_BARCODE& is the material number to pass in for the barcode.
If its not the right place to search please tell me what code i am suppose to provide you.
Thanks
