Barcode printing in Laser printer

Hi ,
I am trying to print barcode on HP 5100 laser printers.On R&D I found there are two solutionn to print barcodes
1. Use Barcode.dll ( only with help from SAPLPD )
2. Use Bardimm ( Jet caps ) from HP
Is there any other solution to acheive barcode printing .i.e without using any additonal softwares/hardwares.?
Advance thanks for a reply ASAP.

Hi,
To be honest, I faced this problem some time ago and I couldn't find a solution which didn't include additional software being installed (and a licence fees apply).
I didn't even try writing my own program to act in a similar way (so we could save some money on license fees) as it would cost more than the licence anyway. If you include costs of testing and maintenance then it works out that the solutions available on the market are not as expensive.
The one we use works well but only works for printers which support PCL (most of them do nowadays) and requires additional software and some fees.
This solution is provided by e-bizco.com GmbH.
Basically your barcode is transformed by the program sitting on your server (as a service). It is transformed into PCL format and printer processes it. It works on various OS including Windows and AIX.
Thanks,
Wojtek

List of device types in SAP Releases 4.6x/6.xx/NW04/NW04s
OSS NOTE : 8928
Installation of new device types ********************
Many device types are appended as a zip-attachment to this note.
README.TXT contains information about these device types and codepages.
README_UPLOAD.TXT contains information on how to import the device
types.
PRINTER DRIVERS AND DEVICE TYPES:
In R/3, a distinction is made between "printer driver" and "device type". The device type consists of all the attributes defined for an output device. For correct access, these must be made known in the R/3 system. They cover aspects such as control commands for font selection, page size, character set selection, character set used and so on. One of these attributes is the printer driver to be used by SAPscript (R/3 forms processor) for this particular printer.
If your printer is not specified in the list below, ask the manufacturer if the printer is compatible with one of the defined printers or if it can be used with another emulation (for example, Postscript).
If the printer is not compatible or cannot be operated using an emulation, you must create a new device type (if the printer is not compatible). To print from SAPscript, you must choose one of the existing printer drivers.
At present, there are five SAPscript printer drivers. They include:
for HP-PCL5 (for example, HP Laserjet 3,4,5,6 series)
for PostScript printers (PS level 2)
for PRESCRIBE (for example, Kyocera FS-1500)
for device types SWIN/SAPWIN/xxSWIN/xxSAPWIN
for all other models.
The last driver is known as the "standard driver". It cannot provide absolutely precise positioning on the paper and does not support proportional fonts. Printer drivers are relevant for forms output with SAPscript. For the output of ABAP lists special printer drivers are only used as of Release 4.5A. They are anchored in the C kernel and are developed and maintained exclusively by SAP.
In the spool environment, device types refer not only to printers but also other output devices, for example, fax machines. Device types support specific printers or printer models. Device type definitions are stored completely in tables and can be individually adapted, modified or enhanced. If SAP performs such an adjustment for a customer, it constitutes a consulting service, and is generally charged seperately. On the other hand, the list of device types, above all in conjunction with SAP's hardware partners, is continually expanded.
COMPATIBLE PRINTERS:
Some printer models have been so successful on the market that many OEM products, clones and compatibles are also listed. You can often use compatible printers with R/3 by entering the printer definition of the original. Since complete compatibility is extremely rare, SAP can offer no assurances regarding the usability of compatible printers. This also applies to follow-up models made by the original producer.
LIST OF PRINTERS:
This is the list of device types supplied by SAP in different Releases. Most of these device types use "Western European" or "North American" character sets. Some device types in newer Releases however, also support other character sets and language areas such as Russian or Czech.
The device types named in this list are supported in the standard R/3 System as of the release mentioned.
If an OCR-A font (prerequisite for check printing) or an OCR-B font is supported in the R/3 device types, this is indicated. However, this generally requires additional font cassettes or firmware for the printer involved, since few printers have an OCR-A font "built in." For additional information about this, contact the printer manufacturer.

Barcode printing using dot matrix printer

Hi,
Can anyone let me know what all DOT Matrix printers support barcode printing (PDF 147 type), The barcode is printed in invoice when printout is taken using laser jet but when using dot matrix (Panasonic kx-p3696), the invoice gets printed without barcode.
Thanks in advance.

Barcode printing - Upload Method

Hi Friends,
I would need good documentation/ link on Upload method in Barcode printing.
ie Labels Designed using Third party software and uploaded into SAP using SAP Script programming.
Thanks,
Preema

Hi,
It seems if you are generating barcode using third party tool, you must be able to export it as a bitmap. I really doubt, how you can freeze the contents of your barcode? if the barcode content is same in your scenario, then you need to upload the bitmap like anyother image and use them in SAPScript.
If you want to upload the fonts then you need to do that thru' SE73.
Include in character format and use in SAPScript.
Hope I have understood your scenario. If wrong please revert back.
As far as printing is concerned,
All you need to check is
1. Whether the printer supports Barcode. If it does not support barcode, then you will need to buy a DIMM card or barcode.dll file. You can get a demo file from net.
2. You need to install DIMM Card to your printer. or You need to install Barcode.dll file in SAPLpd directory in the front end PC.
or
3. 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. But option results in less sharper barcodes. This option is really if you need to convert a large quantity of printers (>10) to support barcodes.

Printing to Citizen Thermal Barcode printer

Hello everyone,
I need some direction as to where to go next on this issue.
I am trying to take text data that contains commands with data and ascii control codes for a Citizen Barcode printer and allow my client (a web browser) the ability to print this data to its local printer and generate labels (not the raw data)
I have been able to code a servlet that can prints my barcodes to the local printers on my PC, but I cannot access a client's collection of printers from the web server.
It seems I need to render the data and do a window.print() in Javascript: Here is my servlet code that works when the printer is local to the web server.
        try {
          PrintService psCitizen = null;
          String sPrinterName = null;
          PrintService[] services = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(null, null);
          for (int i = 0; i < services.length; i++) {
            sPrinterName = services.getName().toUpperCase();
log(Trace.DIAGNOSTIC, "Printer " + i + ":" + sPrinterName);
if (sPrinterName.toUpperCase().indexOf("CITIZEN") >= 0) {
psCitizen = services[i];
break;
if (psCitizen == null) {
log(Trace.DIAGNOSTIC, "Citizen printer is not found. Ps Count = " + services.length);
return;
DocPrintJob job = job = psCitizen.createPrintJob();
//String STX = "^B";
//String CR = "^M";
String STX = "\002";
String CR = "\015";
//String STX = (char)2 + "";

String s = "";

} catch (PrintException e) {
How can I using a servlet, JSP or Javascript get the user to print the label data from the client browser and have the thermal printer interpret the browser data as commands to print. I don't mind the browser user having to select the printer.
Thanks!

I don't think that you'll be able to do this correctly with JavaScript, as those control codes probably won't be rendered correctly in the web browser. I'm guessing you'll need a signed applet to properly receive the exact commands to send to the printer. You can use the Jakarta HttpClient to receive the exact commands from the Servlet, then some kind of print API to send the commands to the printer.

Problem with barcode print in Adobe From

Hello All,
We are using Adobe Forms to print our shipping labels and this as been working well for few years now. These labels include readable text and barcodes. The barcodes are 1-D but recently we now have a need to print 2-D barcodes.
We are able to print PDF-417 as a 2-D barcode on the form, but when we try to print Datamatrix barcode, the barcode does not show and instead we just see the text which should have been encoded as 2-D barcode.
We analyze the spool output file on the server to check the correct print controls are being sent to label printer. Our printer is a Zebra S4M using ZPLII. We send test form to our printer which will print two barcodes only (both 2-D), one is PDF-417 the other is Datamatrix. The spool output when viewed in Wordpad, is as below:
^XA
PRALH0,3
^XZ
CI13XA
^LL1219
^FO127,102
^BY3,,203
^B7N,,5,,,N
FHFD1234567890
^FS
^FO127,356
FHFD1234567890
^FS
^XZ
The ^B7 print control is the barcode PDF-417 control code. The Datamatrix control code ^BX is missing and should appear where there is an empty line. If we edit the spool output file and add the missing control code sequence, and then reprint the spool from SAP, then the Datamatrix 2-D barcode prints correctly.
So for some reason, the .zpl spool output file is not being generated with the ^BX control code sequence for the datamatrix barcode. We cannot find any information on why this is so.
We are running ECC6 SP11 (single stack) and ADS is running on a separate dual-stack BI system (NW2004s SP21).
Our Zebra S4M printer firmware is V53.17.6Z, and printer driver is ZebraDesigner 2.6.42 (Build 2382). Our SAP device type which is assigned is AZPL203. Our ADS version is 7.00.21.0.
We are seeing the same problem if we print test label from ECC or BI system. ECC kernel is 700 patch 266. BI kernel is 700 patch 254.
We have found SAP Notes related to incorrect ZPL format in ^BX for NW7.1 and NW7.1 EhP1, but not for NW7.0.
Has anyone else come across a problem like this before? Any advice would be much appreciated and duly rewarded.
Thanks in advance
George

Issue is resolved.
We updated our ADS to 7.11.5.0

Problem with Barcode printing in sapscript

Hello All,
I am currently facing an issue with printing a bar code in my sap script.
Below is the scenario:
I am trying to print a delivery number as a bar code. I am using the system bar code BC_CD39C for the same.
i.e the system bar code is attached to the character format <XX>
<XX>&LIKP-VBELN&</>
The issue is, I am getting the barcode printed correctly but when i read the barcode with the reader
an extra alphabet is appearing
eg: if delivery number is 880001143
When i read the barcode it is appearing as follows 880001143W
Could you please let me know what would be the issue?
Regards,
Krishnakumar

hi,
i will suggest u to use new barcode technology.
goto se73.
click on system barcode. -
> change
then click on create----
> it will prompt u for choose barcode technology -
>
select new barcode technology -
> give name and short description
> then create any z barcode using system barcode like code39, code 128 barcode check this n create urs with same functions. then
that add newly created barcode in ur smartstyle and then use it .
plz feel free to ask.

Problem with Barcode printing in smartforms

Hi Gurus,
I have made changes to the system barcode height in SE73 from say 1.3 to 0.7 cm. But when I take the printout from the barcode printer I am getting the barcode with old height.
My concern is do we need to do change anything with the printer settings. If so, where and how? who has to do that?
-B S B.

Hi,
But how do we reduce the height.
I changed the height of the system barcode (device independent).
Print preview looks fine. But when actual printing takes place still the barcode retains original height.
Could you please explain me in simple steps?
SAPHelp is more confusing.

ADF Faces & BC 10.1.3.4: Barcode Printing & ADF version of WebUtil?

Hi all,
Our existing application is built with Oracle Forms/Reports 9i which also uses Oracle WebUtil 10g because we need to print bar code labels. Our oracle forms appilcation invokes "Host" commands which allows it to print directly to the server's printer ports, this is accomplished by invoking WebUtil functionality which somehow bypasses(probably not the correct term to use) the jvm security sandbox. We need to have a similar barcode printing functionality on our ADF Faces/BC application however I'm not aware of the existence of "ADF WebUtil" which can be configured to allow access to printer ports.
Here is some code snipets for the 9i Forms application for printing (which is done through Internet Explore Browser)
CLIENT_TEXT_IO.PUT_LINE(myPrinter, output_str);
If lineType = 'B' Then vertStartTemp := vertStartTemp + vertBStep;
Else vertStartTemp := vertStartTemp + vertAStep;
End If;
End Loop;
/* last line */
output_str := 'P1'||chr(13)||chr(10);
CLIENT_TEXT_IO.PUT_LINE(myPrinter, output_str);
CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FCLOSE(myPrinter);
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FCLOSE(myPrinter);
message(sqlerrm );
Raise Form_Trigger_Failure;
END;
Here is some java code which uses the awt library (only works locally due to jvm secuirty sandbox)
public void testZebraBarCode(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
//called from a commandButton action listner. will fail upon deployment to server because its trying to access native resouces.
try {
PrintService psZebra = null;
PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
if (printJob.printDialog()) {
psZebra = printJob.getPrintService();
DocPrintJob job = psZebra.createPrintJob();
String s =
// Set Reference Point
// Clear Image Buffer
// Print direction (from Bottom of buffer)
// Set label Length and gap
"R0,0\n" + "N\n" + "ZB\n" + "Q122,16\n" +
"A160,2,0,3,1,1,N,\"DATA: CARUGATE\"\n" +
"B160,30,0,1A,2,7,50,N,\"612041600021580109\"\n" +
"A160,92,0,1,1,1,N,\"AIA AGRICOLA IT.ALIMENT.S - 594679/VR\"\n" +
"P1\n";
byte[] by = s.getBytes();
DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.BYTE_ARRAY.AUTOSENSE;
// MIME type = "application/octet-stream",
// print data representation class name = "[B" (byte array).
            Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(by, flavor, null);
            job.print(doc, null);
        } catch (PrintException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Can anyone point me to the proper direction on how to accomplish this task?
Thanks,
Wes

Hi,
if you build a web application then you have to integrate a Swing based Applet to the web age to access the local client. You can't with native web means

Oracle Apps 11i - Pasta Setup for Barcode print in rdf file

Hi All,
Since last some days i am trying to setup Oracle Apps 11i to print barcode reports (RDF files) from concurrent manager.
If anybody have any idea about how to configure pasta to print post script files which support barcode, please suggest.
I have already read many documents but not able to do that. In one of pasta document i found that, pasta support two type of TrueType font. One can be used for regular text and second can be used (bold) for barcode printing. But it shows barcode font as a regular font.
-Thanks.
Arun.

SAP Adobe Livecycle barcode printing issue

SAP Adobe Livecycle: The Barcode printing using internal table: Even though the value is not there in the bar code field column of the internal table, for some reason it is printing the bar code for all lines. Does anyone know why?

Iam not sure but this might be the problem .
Please check if the barcode you have used has any default value set in the Form which is getting printed in case you dont have any value in the barcode field.
thanks

Barcode printing in 4.7 possible or not ?

Hi All,
We are working in 4.7 environment .We want to generate the barcode in a script for an invoice number. I heard from some of my friends that barcode printing is not supported in a script from 4.7 .In 4.7 we need to use a smart form for that.Please let me know if it the same or not ?
Regards
jyothi.R

Hi Jyothi,
Whether it script or smartform it is possible.
If it script then create a character format in that character format select
which barcode you want to print generally everybody use bc_cd39 i.e. code 39
else ask your client which barcode they need or else if in any form they are getting the print consider the barcode from that form.
after selecting the barcode in the character format
in the window where you want to show the barcode write as
<C1>& & </>
in first angular brackets give your character format you created here like i am taking c1
and in between the place holders give the field name of your invoice number.
please let me know still you have any issues
if helpful reward points

Problem in barcode printing..

I am given only the barcode dimension and content to print it using smartforms..how do i go about it..? Do i have to start from SPAD transaction or se73.. kindly let me know links which may give step by step guideline to my problem..and in SE73 i dont know which barcode symbology i need to assign..
Also, why do we have to go for TCode SPAD?

Hi
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.

Detailed information about SAP Barcodes
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.

Barcode Printing in Smartforms

Hi all,
I have created a barcode via SE73 and attached it in the Smartstyles via a character Format. I have also added this character format in my Smartforms.
When I click the preview I'm able to see the Barcode getting displayed (Zebra Printer). But when it gets printed in the Zebra Printer it does not get displayed.
Kindly let me know if anyone has faced a similar issue related to this. It would be of great help.
