Datamax Label printing and SAPSprint

Hi colleagues, we're looking at implementing Datamax label printers and my understanding of OSS Note 490295 - Printing labels with Datamax DPL printers, is we need to use Bartender to generate the labels, import into sapscripts, etc... before sending to printer. Also, says we need a windows pc to run SAPSprint.
We have been through the solution, but want to validate our understanding,
My questions,
1. can we avoid the use of seagull bartender - and if we avoid, how much more complexity will this add in the generation of the form?
2. is there ways to connect directly from SAP to the datamax printers, avoiding using a Windows print server?
3. do we need bartender other than generating the forms in conjunction with sapscript?
Thanks for your help!
Many thanks!
JM

print spool orders are marked as completed but there's no paper output
printer is configured on a tcp/ip address
sapsprint is installed and service active
what else are we missing is there to check?
thanks in advance

Hi Maria
We are trying to print Datamax i4208.
Here is my Configuration
The app.server is on AIX
The Device types we tried:
               <h5> The LB_DMX LB_DMX as Device Type: LINE PRINTER DRIVER II.
               The ASCIIPRI </h5>
1. Printed through LOCL (Front-End Access Method)    - We do not have SAPPrint/saplpd on our PCs
2. Printed through a Windows Printer Server (U: Access Method) - The Winddows server has SAPPrint
3. Printed Locally (L: Access Method): Using the JetDirec setup
All these 3 methods are not working.... I am a Baiss person.... Would you please give some tips

Help with Zebra Label Printer and Multi Order Shipping Tool- Partial Label Printing

I have a zebra gx420d which is compatible the zebra 2844 (its the new model) and I am having a hard time printing labels with the multi order shipping tool. I have the correct driver, the printer test page works fine, and everything is configured for a 4x6 label.
I have set the selling preferences in paypal to match the zebra 2844 printer and within the mult order tool, I have edited the settings to also match zebra 2844.
My problem is that regardless of what or how I do it, my printer will only print a 1/4 of the label. It is not shrinking the label, it is starting to print at the correct size but stops 1/4 of the way through. Almost like it thinks my label size is too small but as i mentioned, I confirmed 4x6 on the label settings at both printer properties and printer preferences. I spent and hour on tech support with zebra and they confirmed the printer is working as it is supposed to. I also know this because my Amazon labels print correctly as well. Its only paypal and ebay labels that are not working. Very frustrating. Can anyone help?

Hi,
did you upload the desgin in a standard text with option ITF? This you can copy then to the layoutset. At least this is the way of working with BARONE.
Cheers,
Stefan

Problem in continuous Material Label Printing

Hi Experts,
          I am using SAP Script for Material Label Printing and Dot-matirx printer for printing.
          There are 6 labels getting printed on a Page. There is no problem in printing but what happens,
          whenever there is a new material getting printed, it skips the current page and resumes the
          printing from new page.
          Example. there are 8 labels for a Material-1 and 3 labels for Material-2. 6 labels for
          Material-1 would print on 1st Page, the rest 2 would print on 2nd page. Now the 3 remaining
          labels for Material-2 are getting printed on 3rd page which should get printed on 2nd Page itself
          as there is space for 4 more labels on 2nd page.
          Please help me out on this.
Regards,
Ravi.

Hi ,
every material there will be started an new sapscript (probably)
You will have to change your program that way that all materials and belonging data comes into 1 internal tab.
If you print this tab in 1 big loop (instead of a nested loop for everymaterial) everything will go fine.

Switcher has question about DVD Label Printing

I recently switched from Windows to Mac Mini. I really have enjoyed the Mac experience. One thing I haven't found though is a way to print DVD labels via a Mac application or via Mac Office. Is there a way or must I get a third party app?

I use Discus. It is cheap (about $40), downloadable, and support just about every label printer and paper label available.
See it here:
http://www.magicmouse.com/hdiscusdetail.html
I advise against using paper labels on DVDs. Many have done it successfully, but there are enough horror stories, including destroyed DVD players (label comes loose, gums up the inside) to concern me. I've used the EZ CD Printer (an Epson C60 conversion), and the Epson R300, as well as the CD.DVD duplicator I use now, the Primera Bravo which works perfectly. I've made about 300 DVDs with that.

BarTender for Zebra Barcode Label printing using Smartform

HI Experts,
Does anyone know how to use BarTender 7.10 software to create barcode labels for Zebra printer?
I have to include a jpg Logo into the Label using BarTender.
But when I test using the Zebra printer - the logo/picture won't print out.
Any idea?
Thank You.
Best Regards,
CW

Hi There,
I had problems with using Bartender when I tried to print a logo onto my labels, but I contacted a [labelling company |www.iidsolutions.net] who specialise in barcode label printing and the bartender software, they sorted out my problem but then after a chat with them I decided it would be easier to get them to print the labels for me as I had loads of changes and they were quite cheap. See if they can help you. :~)
Good luck.
Dave.

Custom Label Printing - Print position creeps up and across labels

Hello
I am using VS 2010 and have updated to SP4 for Crystal Reports
I used the custom size option to make a label report. The built in options for label sheets do not match the labels that I have
I made a label report for 3 columns and 8 rows using the label size, margin widths top and bottom, left and right, with the 2 widths between the columns. But this does not print correctly on the labels. The printing on the label rows creep up so by the time you reach the 8th row the label is partly on the 7th Row. The left hand column prints correctly. the middle column prints closer to the left edge of the label than in the first column and the third column is printing on the gap between the 2nd and 3rd column.
I tried making a new report and set the dimensions to the maximum sizes that would allow 24 labels (3 columns and 8 rows) but the same problem occurs as when having set the correct sizes
I am not sure if there is a method to edit the label sizes, and margin widths as happens when creating a new report or if the only option is to create a new report.
Any assistance or information on how to make the labels print with the correct row and column spacing would be appreciated.
My Labels are 67mm x 36mm. there is no space betwwen the rows, the margin at the top and bottom of the sheet are the same, and the left and right margins are the same. The space between the columns is 2mm

Thank you for the reply Rob
There is no Avery template in the list that has 24 labels, which is why I was using the Custom Label
I have tried many variations trying different widths and gaps between the labels, but in all cases by the time the 8th row is printeed the printing has crept up and is now overlapping onto the bottom of the 7th row label. The third column is printing on the gutter between the 2nd and 3rd column.
When creating a Custom label it would appear that the Wizard works on Letter size Paper regardless of the paper size that the printer is set to. All my printers are set to A4 size paper.
Letter Paper is 215.9mm x 279.4mm compared to 210mm x 297mm for A4. While the width is not a problem the length is less, and that may well be what is causing the problem when the Wizard creates the labels, despite changing the Paper size to A4. But the paper size can only be changed and set to A4 after the wizard has been given the label size and spacing for margins and gutters.
In my view the Wizard should ask for the paper size and then ask for the label size settings and layout
Regards
David

How do I re-print and return label

I called to have my defective device exchanged. Costumer service placed a new order for my phone and told me I need to print a shipping label and send back my current phone. I tried to print the return label and it didn't end up printing and now I dont have an option to print it anymore. How can I get a new label, I'm afraid they're going to charge me the full price if I somehow don't get a label or if it ends up shipping back late.

jdawisha1031 We certainly understand not wanting to be charged for a device. Don't worry, our replacement devices are shipped with a prepaid return label. If you haven't received the replacement yet, wait for the device to arrive and a label will be inside the box. If you have received a replacement and there wasn't a label in the box, then we can mail you one. We will not charge you for the device as long as it is returned within a timely manner. Let us know if you have any other questions.

Contacts and Brother QL-580N Label Printer

Hi,
I'm trying to get Contacts app in Mountain Lion (previously known as Address Book) to print natively to a Brother QL-580N printer. By 'natively' I mean without having to install Brother's GUI application.
At the time that I added the printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan, Mountain Lion reached out and downloaded QL-580n CUPS drivers nicely.
I can select QL-580N as the printer, with CUPS driver, and send it print jobs.
What I can't do is figure out how to format it for 1.1" X 3.5" labels (Brother address labels DK-1201) in Contacts app.
In Print Dialog box > Contacts > Size I can choose 1.1" by 3.5" but it prints portrait instead of landscape, printing only part of the address across the middle of the label.
If there was a landscape option it would be easy... am I missing something?
Thanks,
b.

Ok... I got there, kinda.
I found that the 'envelopes' style has a landscape/portrait option.
With some help from this post: Re: Address Book label printing
I was able to prit a label directly from Contacts.
Be very careful of the Basic > Length setting. It defaults to 11 inches. This will waste a LOT of tape if you don't remember to set it to something appropriate. Unfortunately you need to do this each time; saving as a preset does not save this option

How can I print ONE contact on an Avery label sheet and it not always print on the blank in the upper left?

How can I print ONE contact on an Avery label sheet and pick where the printer starts?

In Contacts, select the contact you want to print, then click -> File -> Print (or press Command-P), then Show Details. Next to Style, select Mailing Labels. In the tab Layout, choose the Avery type you need. In the tab Label, choose the content you want to print.

Address Book and Label Printing

I've been trying to do this and have run into a sea of problems/bugs.
A lot come to light after switching back and forth between the Layout and Label tabs. This seems to render the preview window inoperative. For example, after choosing print from the file menu then clicking Layout then clicking Label in the Print Dialog Box:
1) changing font is not reflected in preview pane
2) clicking "country" check box is not reflected in preview pane
3) zoom control does nothing
4) changing label type does not update preview pane
After printing and then trying to print a second time, I notice that some setting are not saved. For example, the Country, if it was checked, has reverted back to being not checked and the font has reverted to Lucida Grande 12. More importantly, the label type reverts back to the default 5161, but only after every second print. (ie choose print from file menu set label type to 2163, print, select print from file menu: label type is 2163, print, select print from file menu again and label type has now reverted to 5161
When selecting a different Label from the layout menu, ie Avery 2163 Top, the Preview Pane is only partially updated. The addresses are relocated on the page but a full 8 1/2X11 page is still shown. if I cancel the Print and return, the preview page size has been resized to reflect the smaller label size.
I've also a great deal of difficulty getting Address Book to print correctly on Avery 2163 labels. These labels are 2" wide and the program seems to want to print on 8 1/2 inch wide paper. As a result, only the left hand portions of the address appear on the label, and even that is not properly spaced vertically to appear correctly within each label. I was able to get it to print correctly only when I selected "Scale to Fit Paper" in the Paper Handling Section
These problems don't seem isolated to my machine (A PowerPC G5). I was able to replicate on an intel imac.
Has anyone else had problems printing labels?

Warren: looking at other threads out there it doesn't appear that you can print the spouse/partner/friend field. One poster suggested using Avery DesignPro for Mac, which merges with your AddressBook, and allows you to select which fields to include. The only caveat is that it doesn't show it working with Lion (os 10.7). You can download it here:

Barcode Label Printing

Dear Experts,
is it possible to print barcodes on labels using the SAPSprint service ?
The labels are defined as Sapscripts and Smartforms.
Thanks a lot for any help.
Regards,
Marc
Edited by: Marc Reinhardt on Jan 6, 2009 2:53 PM
One more remark: Is it necessary to use an external BARCODE.DLL for barcode generation or can it be done by the label printer as well ?

Hello Pranay,
I did some research on that SAP note "25344 - Interface SAPSprint (SAPFprint) Barcode DLL (details)" states the following:
u201EAn external barcode DLL is to be added to the SAPSprint or SAPFprint.u201C
u201EThe SAPSprint or SAPFprint delegates the task of printing barcodes to an external DLL. SAP does not provide a barcode DLL. The DLL must meet certain requirements so that it can be used.u201C
     u201Eu2026u201C
     u201EThe following list is of suppliers known to us that manufacturer compatible barcode DLL:
     1) e-bizco.com GmbH, Up'n Hoff 1, D-22927 Großhansdorf, Germany
     2) TEC-IT Datenverarbeitung GmbH, Wagnerstr. 6, A-4400 Steyr, Austria
     3) MW6 Technologies, Inc.u201C
This means to me that if we print barcodes with SAPSprint we must have this barcode.dll even if the printer would be able to interpret it.
Cheers,
Marc

If you did not get an OS X install-restore DVD with the computer you may need
to buy one from somewhere, and you may be lucky to get a retail OS X 10.5.x
version. The original grey-label install set of software and OS X it shipped with
likely would be an older system than Leopard 10.5. Last versions of G4 Mac, &
G5, shipped with a Tiger 10.4 system; so did early Intel-based Mac. Grey discs
which accompanied other computer build models generally do not interchange.
The last OS X version a PowerPC architecture can use, if supported, is 10.5.8.
A PPC processor at 867MHz & faster should be able to run OS X 10.5 Leopard.
{With the correct disc installer, you can use it to change a password and other
things including re-install, and perform disk utility functions, etc.}
There is a chance you may be able to get a white-label Replacement 10.4 DVD
or Replacement 10.5 DVD from AppleCare or the online Apple Store (800myapple)
from a Mac OS X system specialist; these have been available yet hard to get
as not all persons involved with them seem to know if they still exist until someone
is asking. These aren't retail stock, are special discs for computers who could use
a system later than original old discs; these are complete install discs not for one
specific series of Mac. Generally they'd work in supported PowerPC G4/G5; but
do not replace specialized original install DVD, such as an early Intel mac requires.
You'd need to have a serial number of the computer, and a method of payment
when seeking some replacement system media from Applecare or Apple sales
and these discs are not available in a retail store. The original Retail discs are
labeled differently and shipped in a retail box with a big X on the front. Other
sources for retail 10.4 Tiger or 10.5 Leopard may be online via amazon sellers
or computer resellers who handle repaired Macs. Avoid mystery grey label ones
that were intended to be sold and kept with their original computer kits.
Good luck!

Screen Print and report print in 11g Forms

Hi,
I have created a popup menu in forms 11g which has a label print screen.
When user clicks on it, it is supposed to bring up the list of printers that user has on his PC, so that they can choose the printer where they want to print to.
Do I need to use webutil for it? or is there any other way?.
Thanks
Munish

If you plan on printing from the client your only options are to use WebUtil or write your own java bean.
That said, if you are generating the labels using Reports, why not generate to a pdf file? If you coded your form properly, the pdf will open on the client side in something like Acrobat Viewer. If they want to print it they can click on the "Print" button in PDF viewer.
If you really want to make it complicated and present a list of printers and allow them to pick one then send the job to the printer, this will take some effort. Here are some starter tips assuming the client will always be Windows based:
You can get the current default printer like this:
-- More registry info for printing can be found here:   http://support.microsoft.com/kb/102966
Declare
     rtn_Registry               varchar2(255);
     rtn_defaultPrinter          varchar2(255);
Begin
     rtn_Registry := CLIENT_WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.Read_Registry('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows','Device');
     rtn_defaultPrinter := substr(rtn_Registry,1,instr(rtn_Registry,',',1)-1);
     message (rtn_defaultPrinter); -- This is the name of the default printer
End;Some printer properties and preferences can be called with something like this:
-- More details here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q189105/
Declare
     my_cmd varchar2(255);
     rtn_Registry               varchar2(255);
     rtn_defaultPrinter          varchar2(255);
Begin
-- Get default printer
     rtn_Registry := CLIENT_WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.Read_Registry('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows','Device');
     rtn_defaultPrinter := substr(rtn_Registry,1,instr(rtn_Registry,',',1)-1);
     -- Printer default preferences
     my_cmd := 'rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /e /n "'|| rtn_defaultPrinter ||'"';
     -- Printer properties
--     my_cmd := 'rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /p /n "'|| rtn_defaultPrinter ||'"';
     -- Printer queue
--     my_cmd := 'rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /o /n "'|| rtn_defaultPrinter ||'"';
     If rtn_defaultPrinter IS NULL Then
          Message('Default printer not detected.');
          Message('Default printer not detected.');
          RAISE Form_Trigger_Failure;
     End if;
     SYNCHRONIZE;
     CLIENT_HOST(my_cmd);
End;The complete list of installed printers can be found in the Registry here:
<blockquote>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers</blockquote>
Take a look at this java bean example used to help print to the local printer from Forms.
<blockquote>http://forms.pjc.bean.over-blog.com/article-6621538.html</blockquote>

I have the MG8220 printer and would like to print on a DVD disc using a desk top software program

In the past I have been using a desktop software program to produce the graphics and then printing paper labels. Using a template of a disk. Works fine with my ip4600 printer. Now with the MG8220 printer that can print on disks, how can I do this without resorting to copying from an existing labeled disk? I don't want to copy a disk but rather print onto a disk using a prepared graphic scaled to fit on a disk.
Thanks for all help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi excolprof,
We only support disc printing with the supplied Easy Photo Print and My Image Garden software. You are welcome to try using third party programs, but as they are not supported, the only steps I can recommend would be to make sure that hte paper size is set to CD Disc within the software.
