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.
For complete information always you can go to SAP Help.

Issue with Barcode printing in SAPscript

Hi All,
I am trying to print barcode in my script. I assigned barcode font to the numbers which I want in the form of barcode, I am able to see barcode in the print preview but when I am trying to take printout , in printout barcode is not appearing.
I try same barcode font with the smartform I am getting barcode in the printpreview as well as in the printout of the smartform with the same printer.
Can any one help me in this issue. Is there any other setting required in the smartform or its driver program?
Thanks.
Shweta.

Hi
It depends on which kind of barcode fornt you're using.
In last SAP release there's a new tecnique to print the barcode by smartform: this tecnique translate the barcode as graph so the printer manages the baracode just as if it was a logo and It doesn't need any other hardware or software to print a barcode.
This tecnique is available for smartform only, else u make sure your printer can print a barcode, you can see a dummy barcode in preview.
I have had your same problem, and I found out this very usefull answer in the forum:
Barcode Printing issue using Forms
Hi, In general, if you want to print a barcode, somebody must draw the bars of the
barcode to get a correct print. There are four possible ways to print barcodes from SAP:
1. Print e.g. via a Barcode DIMM/SIMM To use this way, the printer must be able to print
barcodes by itself so it needs e.g. a special barcode SIMM/DIMM module to print the
barcodes. ie: HP printers do not contain barcode fonts by default so a DIMM module with
the fonts must be installed. The print works as follows: The SAP sends a simple printer
escape sequence to the printer, which activates the barcode printing in the printer. Then
the SAP sends the barcode number and finally it sends a printer escape sequence, which
switches the printer back to normal printing. So in this way the bars of the barcode are
created in the printer (and you only see a dummy barcode in the print preview). Se the
SAP Note 45643 about the sequences for Jetcaps BarDIMM used for printing barcodes on HP
Laserjet printers. The correct BarDIMM modules for different HP printer models can beseen
on the JetMobile website at the URL below: http://www.jetmobile.com/products/SJ_BD.htm
2.Print via a barcode.dll If your printer doesn't have a barcode DIMM, it cannot create the
bars of the barcode itself. So this must be done elsewhere. One possibility is that you
print via a Windows system, SAPSprint or SAPLPD, device type SAPWIN and a barcode.dll.
ie: Your printer is connected to a Windows system that runs the SAPSprint or SAPLPD
program If you print via device type SAPWIN, the creation of the print data is done in
the Windows. So the Windows may create a graphic, which contains the bars of the barcode,
and send this graphic to the printer. The job to create the barcode graphic is done by
the barcode.dll. See SAP note 14561. 3. New barcode technology If your printer doesn't
have a barcode DIMM and if you don't want to use a barcode.dll, you may use the new
barcode technology, which is described in the SAP Notes #645158 and #430887. However this
is only possible when printing from Smartforms. In this way SAP itself creates a picture,
which contains the bars of the barcode. This picture is sent to the printer. One
important requirement when you print the barcode via a Smartform is that you have at
least release 46C. 4. Use of a barcode font There are some font files (e.g. Windows TTF
files), which contains bars instead of characters. So if you use these font files, the
bars of the barcode are printed instead of a text. You may buy such a font file, install
it under Windows and use it via device type SAPWIN according to SAP Note #48803. Since
release 46C these files can also be uploaded into the SAP and used via other device
types.
Regards, Aidan
I hope it can help you
P.s.: I post the answer here, because I can't looking for the original post now, so thank very much to Aidan

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();

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 printing the methods due to lack of understanding

Okay, i'm pretty sure i have all my code correct except for the System.out.println's at the top to print the methods below. What am i doing wrong? Its suppose to be a program that prompts for amount of random numbers, the first part sorts/finds the median, and the second part finds the mode.
import javax.swing.*;

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----

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) {

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.

The selected printer connection method is incorrect. Select the....... ERRO

Just upgraded to 10.5. I'm setting up a few printers and a plate maker. Got everything setup as far as I could tell but one machine wont work. It's an ImageRunner 8500 from Canon. When I try to print to that printer I get this:
The selected printer connection method is incorrect. Select the correct printer connection method in printer list, and then try to add the printer again.
Not what thats about. In the printer list, It shows up there with everything else that is connected via Appletalk. I got the PPD for the Konika Minolta CPP500 installed and it prints fine... any ideas? Thanks,
Chris

Hi John
I tried Appletalk but that printer does not appear. However LPD does work. I think the problem was on checking my other Macs in the office, there is no way of telling whether they are connect via IPP or LPD as the set up appears the same, i.e. IP address. When I tried to add my the printer again, I had forgotten how we set it up originally.
Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

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

How to print a method trace to a file (first method called to the end)

I have a tomcat war that I am deploying. I want to use some command line parameter or some tool that will show me a method trace of each method that gets executed.
There is some static initializer in the code that starts everything in the war (the war is not a web app) but simply a process that runs in the background that does stuff.
I want to find out what the first method called in the war is and to locate the static initializer. Having a method trace would do this because this method would be printed out first.
After the static initializer gets called I want to see a method trace of all methods called. Having this printed to a file like Class:Method(params) would be nice.
Even better would be some sort of tool that I could open a trace file with and see method calls in the order they were called.
I tried several Java profiling tools but none of them show me the order (first to last) of the methods called. All I need is to see a method trace from beginning to end.
Any help would be appreciated.

JProbe provided almost everything I needed to see a method call trace. The method graph feature was great.
I have a single static class with a static initializer that runs in a loop but did not know what the class name was (I inherited some code and was told about the static initializer).
So when I fired it up in JProbe it showed me the class running off the root thread. In fact I found another static initializer that was unknown to me and another oddity as well.
The only problem is that the method call graph is collapsed and you need to click [+] to expand every method call.
I am told by JProbe support that there was an "expand all" option in JProbe 7.0 but it is not there in 7.1.
Not sure why they took the time, money and energy to take a needed feature out.
It would be great to have something that did the same thing from the command line or to be able to print a method call trace out to a file but not sure how to do this.

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
Regards,
Phani
