Barcode printing - Crystal Reports 8.5

I'm using Crystal Report 8.5 with VB6. I'd like to print a barcode on a distributable report. I have accomplished this by downloading a font, but I don't want to have to install this on any and all users' workstations. Is there a way a barcode can be printed without having to install something on each users' PC?
Thanks.

FYI - the font also needs to be installed on the PC opening the PDF. That was something we tried out of curiosity. The one weird thing is that once we copied the font into the \Adobe\Resources\Font directory, the PDF showed the barcode. We then removed the font, rebooted the PC, and when we opened the PDF, the barcode still showed.
We opened the PDF with Acrobat reader, so there was no save done.

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.

Barcode in a Report program

Hi Experts !
We have a requirement to print a Barcode ( Code 39) in the report program. Customer has a existing report in which they would like to add the barcode. Barcode would be displayed as text when the report is executed & when he clicks on PRINT from the menu bar, he wants the report to be printed along with the barcode.
We do not want to use SAP Script/Smartform.
Any pointers to call a barcode from the report program would be appreciated.
The sample program which we created but not displaying barcode :-
REPORT ztest_barcode1.
*NEW-PAGE NO-HEADING PRINT ON LINE-SIZE 80.
WRITE :/ 'Test printing a barcode without *'.
FORMAT COLOR OFF INTENSIFIED OFF.
WRITE :/.
PRINT-CONTROL FUNCTION 'BARON'.
PRINT-CONTROL FUNCTION 'SBP11'.
WRITE : '12345678' NO-GAP.
PRINT-CONTROL FUNCTION 'SBS11'.
PRINT-CONTROL FUNCTION 'BAROF'.
WRITE :/.
WRITE :/ 'Test printing a barcode with *'.
FORMAT COLOR OFF INTENSIFIED OFF.
WRITE :/.
PRINT-CONTROL FUNCTION 'BARON'.
PRINT-CONTROL FUNCTION 'SBP11'.
WRITE : '*12345678*' NO-GAP.
PRINT-CONTROL FUNCTION 'SBS11'.
PRINT-CONTROL FUNCTION 'BAROF'.
WRITE :/.
Thanks,
Best regards,

Hi Prashant,
I did work on barcodes, but unfortunately i haven't tried out ever in ABAP reports.
You can check this link i found on SCN. It has a sample program and gives complete idea on how to work on barcodes via ABAP Reports.

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.

Barcode in a Report

Hi friends,
I am trying to print Order Number in barcode.Even though i am able to print it in the output i am not able to display the whole report.
Suppose i am writing barcode in the report after displaying 5 lines of data, I am able to print the the whole report perfectly but when it comes to display on the screen, all the lines after the barcode are not displayed.
My requirement is i should be able to display whole report and also be able to print whole report.
Here is the code:
WRITE:/ ' Customer : ',15 dcust, 80 fmatno.
SKIP.
WRITE:/ ' Plant :', 15 gs_plant,
          60 'Customer part #:', 80 gs_cust_part.
SKIP 1.
WRITE: / ' Order : ',21 sorder ,
            32 'Total Qty :', 45 qty.
SKIP 1.
WRITE:/ ' Order# : ',15 gv_orderno.
NEW-PAGE PRINT ON NO-HEADING LINE-SIZE 132.
FORMAT COLOR OFF INTENSIFIED OFF.
PRINT-CONTROL FUNCTION 'BC25I'.
WRITE: gv_orderno NO-GAP.
PRINT-CONTROL FUNCTION 'ESCAP'.
WRITE: ' ' NO-GAP.
   ..............rest of the report code.
I am able to print whole report but report display i sonly upto 3 lines .
Once 'new-page print on' statement begins rest of the report is not displayed.
I tried omiting this line but the print command on the LIST menu on the report doesn't print the order in barcode. It is just displayed as normal order number.
I am not sure how to proceed further.
Thanks,
Dev

I found the solution by putting a checkbox on the selection screen whether to print or not.
Here is the code:
if cb_print = space.
NEW-PAGE .
else.
NEW-PAGE PRINT ON IMMEDIATELY 'X'
                      NO-HEADING LINE-SIZE 132.
endif.
If print only option is selected, report will be printed directly else report out put is displayed on the screen
Thanks for your suggestion Seshu.

Jre barcode printing

Hello,
I have a web application, it needs jre, and it allows printing reports with barcodes. If I use jre1.4.2_05 (any 1.4.2_XX), the barcode printing works correctly, it shows the barcodes, but if I use jre5 or jre6 it doesn't work. Someone knows what's the problem with jre5 or jre6 with barcode printing? Thanks beforehand.

Barcode through ABAP report

i want to print Barcode in Report output.How can i do it?

you can also see the below document
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.
http://www.servopack.de/Files/HB/ZPLcommands.pdf.
It will give an idea about barcode commands.

Details 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.
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.
Barcode Standard
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

Questions on Print Quote report

Hi,
I'm fairly new to Oracle Quoting and trying to get familiar with it. I have a few questions and would appreciate if anyone answers them
1) We have a requirement to customize the Print Quote report. I searched these forums and found that this report can be defined either as a XML Publisher report or an Oracle Reports report depending on a profile option. Can you please let me know what the name of the profile option is?
2) When I select the 'Print Quote' option from the Actions drop down in the quoting page and click Submit I get the report printed and see the following URL in my browser.
http://<host>:<port>/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?PROJ03_APPS+report=/proj3/app/appltop/aso/11.5.0/reports/US/ASOPQTEL.rdf+DESTYPE=CACHE+P_TCK_ID=23731428+P_EXECUTABLE=N+P_SHOW_CHARGES=N+P_SHOW_CATG_TOT=N+P_SHOW_PRICE_ADJ=Y+P_SESSION_ID=c-RAuP8LOvdnv30grRzKqUQs:S+P_SHOW_HDR_ATTACH=N+P_SHOW_LINE_ATTACH=N+P_SHOW_HDR_SALESUPP=N+P_SHOW_LN_SALESUPP=N+TOLERANCE=0+DESFORMAT=RTF+DESNAME=Quote.rtf
Does it mean that the profile in our case is set to call the rdf since it has reference to ASOPQTEL.rdf in the above url?
3) When you click on submit button do we have something like this in the jsp code: On click call ASOPQTEL.rdf. Is the report called using a concurrent program? I want to know how the report is getting invoked?
4) If we want to customize the jsp pages can you please let me know the steps involved in making the customizations and testing them.
Thanks and Appreciate your patience

Yes, your understanding is correct.3) When you click on submit button do we have something like this in the jsp code: On click call ASOPQTEL.rdf. Is the report called using a concurrent program? I want to know how the report is getting invoked?
No, there is no conc program getting called, you can directly call a report in a browser window, Oracle reports server will execute the report and send the HTTP response to the browser.4) If we want to customize the jsp pages can you please let me know the steps involved in making the customizations and testing them.
This is detailed in many threads.Thanks
