Inverting Smartform output on Zebra Printer

Hi Gurus,
I am printing a SmartForm on a Zebra LP 2844-Z Thermal Printer. The label is coming out fine. However, due to the nature of my thermal labels (there is a small insert that you peel off separately) I need to print the label upside down.
I have included a COMMAND node in my SmartForm with 'S_LZPL_SETUP' in the Attribute Field and '^POI' (Page Orientation Inverse) as the Attribute Value. When I print out the SmartForm, the labels are still the wrong way around!
I am using the ZLZEB2 (ISO 8859-1 (Latin) 203 dpi ZPL-II) driver.
Any assistance or thoughts on this will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Pat Yee.

Hello,
Please let me know, if you found any solution for you problem. I am using the same printer.
The Tips and Tricks of Zebra
(http://www.zebra.com/id/zebra/na/en/documentlibrary/misc/sap_smartforms_technical.File.tmp/13760L_SAP_Smart_Forms.pdf)
on page 40 didn't work. I just want to print two texts vertical. The rest of the lablel should be printed normal.
Bye!
Now I have a solution for the rotation problem. For rotation single fields of the lable you have to create new print controls of your Z* Printer driver device. In this new control you can add the ^FWR (for rotating °90) and ^FWN (for normal print) print control.
I have tested it and it works.
Thank you smartforms - no more BARONE
Bye!

Command to move content left/right in Smartform label for zebra printer

Issue : Command to move print content left/right in Smartform label for zebra printer.
Requirement : If you changed the printer setting top position and left position, Print should start from a specific (X,Y) position.
I am facing an issue while printing a smartfroms in different zebra printer. We had tried all
S_LZPL_SETUP_X (Where X is LH/SPD/MD/PM/FT )
But these command are not working in smartforms.
We had used ZPL II printer command like u2018LH X,Yu2019 and u2018FT,X,Yu2019 in main window as well as in subsequent windows. But that also not working.
Please advice.
dinesh.

Hi,
If you follow notes #750002 and #750772 and use a smartforms and device type LZEB2, then the you cn just adjust the position of the text in the smartform. e.g. Use tab-stops, spaces or adjust the position of the window. There is no need to use ZPL2 commands directly.

Logo printing on label output from Zebra printer

Hi guru, I am new to zpl command and I cannot find out how SAP is compiling the logo object and load into SAPSCRIPT. Bascially, our company is using zebra printer to print out receiving label with logo on it. There is a requirement to change the logo. What should be the steps?
The transaction I was told to use is OMCF. I can see the precompile file path/name is listed in each label text object. Something list C:\BARONER3\Logos\logo1.bmp or C:\Logos\logo2.bmp. If I need to change a new bmp file for the logo, how should I do it?
Also, is there any good documentation about BAR-ONE and ZPL command?
According to SAP help, the label design is done in BAR-ONE then the print file is downloaded as .ITF format and import into SAPscript as standard text using SO10. However, I cannot find any standard text in SO10 which have the same text ID and text name as in OMCF -> Text Object.....what is the connection between the Standard text and the OMCF text object?
Any advise on the details step to how to create a simple logo/barcode label using BAR-ONE and SAP is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Minami

Hi Minami,
Please check the transaction SE 78 here you can upload new logo or pic with some retriction on size compnay logo should not be a problem.Then you can change the logo.I think this link might be of use to you.I am sending you link

Smartform output not matching print preview

I have a problem where the print preview looks perfect but the actual output of the form is incorrect. The fonts are different and the alignment is off. I seem to recall someone telling me before to retrieve printer settings or something before calling the smartform processing FM. Does anyone know what I am talking about?

Hi,
If fonts is not installed then it should be installed.
One more thing are u checking the print preview in same client or in different client (means dev, quality etc.).
Try this also:
In smartstyles Tcode make the font sizes small & then check the print preview & Print out. e.g. Suppose you have given font size 10 then test it with font size 8 or 7.

How do we view smartform output without clicking print preview

how can we view form without using print preview
Thanks in advance

Use 'TEST' button (F8) that is placed on the toolbar - have to use it few times to get to the preview.
You can fill there your data fields (or not) and see preview of the smartform
(use 'Print preview' when it will ask about the printer)
It's also helpful for debugging problems (f.e. table width isn't matching window width) when the form is not printing in it's main program - it writes You the problem.

Smartform output problem

Hello all,
     Now I met a problem about smartform output:
     The default printer is LP01. When I execute the program which calls this smartform in background, I change the printer to LP03.
Then I use the t-code:SP02 and find the printer is LP01 not LP03. What can i do change the printer to LP03?
---part of my code:
DATA:
ls_output TYPE ssfcompop.
ls_output-tddest = 'LP03'.
CALL FUNCTION '/1BCDWB/SF00000004'
EXPORTING
   OUTPUT_OPTIONS             = ls_output
EXCEPTIONS
   FORMATTING_ERROR           = 1
   INTERNAL_ERROR             = 2
   SEND_ERROR                 = 3
   USER_CANCELED              = 4
   OTHERS                     = 5
Thanks in advance!

Hai
try with the following F.M
CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
EXPORTING MODE                  = 'BATCH'
              REPORT                = 'MYREPORT'
IMPORTING OUT_PARAMETERS        = PARAMS
              VALID                 = VALID.
look into this link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d5/6243ea8a4111d4b605006094192fe3/content.htm
You need to set the USER_SETTINGS perameter in your SmartForm to SPACE

Label printing on ZEBRA printer TLP2844 with smartform

Hi Gurus,
Requirement:
Print label on Zebra printer with smartform
1. i have created a smartform with desired layout
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.

Problem with printing barcodes to a Zebra printer via Smartform

Hi
I am trying to create a printed label from smartforms, being directed to a zebra printer. The label must include a barcode.
Via oss notes 750002 and 750772 I have imported the LZEB2 device type.
In SE73 I have created a system bar code on the new technology.
In the smart form style, I create a character type with this barcode font.
The barcode prints okay and can be read when it has up to 10 characters.
However we need a long bar code of appoximately 22 characters.
I can find no supported barcode type which will let me write a barcode of this length
The max length in the smartform style for the barcode format is always coming up as 50mm which is too short.
I have tried with using a printer bar code prefix and suffix with the native zebra ZPI-II commands, attaching to command nodes on either side of the text node in the smart form, But this does not seem to work.
Any advice ?
Thanks

sounds like the variable containing the barcode data is too short...is it at least 22 characters long?

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
Anand

Hi Ravi,
My name is Andy Rogerson and I work for Zebra Technologies. Please send me an email to [email protected] and I can send you a Whitepaper that steps your through what you need to do to print to a Zebra printer.
It is essentially the same as any other printer but there are some differences when it comes to barcodes.

Reset Zebra printer to portrait after output

Hi,
I successfully created a label to a zebra printer using smartforms and itu2019s printing ok in landscape format. I used the command S_LZPL_SETUP   - '^FWR' to set to landscape.    However any subsequent labels that I try to print come out in landscape format as well. How can I reset?
Thanks
Ann

Hi,
yes, I was able to change the format to landscape using
att name                             att value
S_LZPL_SETUP     '^FWR'
This command was on the first window(just once) and that window and every subsequent window rotated 90deg.
the windows need to be set up accordingly. This was messy.
hope this helps

How to send output of a print to a single pool in smartforms

Hi,
when iam taking a an out put from the invoice all the output has to be send to a single pool .means if we give an invoice number in vf03 and issue the output and if we choose print then it will directly got to spool.but requirement is to store all the spool numbers on application server and finall we have to convert all these into single pdf and then we have to print that.
can any body tell me where to store these spool numbers and how we can send at a time to print
help me pleases
sasi

Hi Sasi,
Check the following:
Exporting the Contents of a Spool Request as a PDF File
Use
You want to export the contents of a spool request as a PDF file to a directory of your choice, and print the file as required. The PDF file contains the print data in the format in which it would be output by the printer.
The following procedure is irrelevant for the PDF-based form printing integrated as of SAP Web Application Server 6.40, since a PDF file is already returned. See also Displaying and Printing PDF-Based Forms.
Procedure
The PDF file is generated as follows with report RSTXPDFT4:
1. Generate a spool request from the document to be printed.
2. In transaction SE38, start report rstxpdft4.
3. In the displayed window, enter the spool request number and the directory in which the PDF file is to be stored.
Leave the Download PDF File option selected.
Choose Execute.
4. In the next window, you can confirm or change the path in which the file is be stored.
Save your entries.
5. The system displays a log from which you can see whether the report was successfully performed.
You can then open the file from the directory and print it as required.
Constraints·        The PDF conversion only supports true bar codes for Smart Forms, which were generated with the new bar code technology. In all other cases, the bar code is only simulated.
·        PDF conversion, especially of ABAP lists, is slower and is therefore not suitable for mass printing. However, you can speed up the conversion to PDF using the FASTLISTCONV option in report RSTXPDF3.
·        The font selection for ABAP lists is predefined in the PDF converter and cannot be changed.
For more information about constraints, see SAP Note 323736 in the SAP Service Marketplace.
For further reference check the SAP documentation...

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.
