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.

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

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.

I downloaded CS6 and am having issues with my print driver. It is not compatible with the HP 2600n and have tried to download drivers given to me by adobe ( (Jupiter 3) but it is not working. after a few days. Its a temporary fix and is still looking for the HP driver when i boot up. It also will not save in any print or postscript format. Does anyone know how to fix?
Currently use a Mac with the latest Mavericks 10.9.4

Oh boy! Acting kind of weird seems to be an understatement, aquaequus!
What type of troubleshooting were we able to do with you? I want to make sure that we can get some sort of resolution for this problem.
It is quite possible the battery door may get your phone in working order again. I'm not sure if the store has it in stock, but it is available in our warehouse for $14.99 which can be ordered via customer service.

Open port issues with Direct Print functionality

Hi, I have been fighting with HP call support about the Photosmart 7525 printer.
Originally I setup and had performed all the functions to enable both web support and WIFI.
Within an hour the printer would not respond to wireless communication, though it had its wireless indecator showing it was connected.
I was told by HP support that the issue will be resolved in March, as there will be a firmware update to fix the issue.
Now that I had the printer install the new firmware I still get the issue.
Though I found through some sniffing, that there are a number of ports enabled and open that are over and beyond print requirements.
Funny thing I can send my printer into instant lockup with all lights flashing with a simple UDP ping sniff. I would think I can do this with other new HP printers using Eprint functions. I will find HP web based printers that are open for public printing and test my theory that HP Eprinters are open to hacking and denyal of service attempts. My Hp print app on andriod list three in my area, and one is at my local Walmart. This would be cool to find this, as I am usually not the first to point such matters out.
I assume some are for Apple devices to print.
Here is my sniffing report:

OK now I am able to run a full scan on TCP ports without causing a lock up of the printer.
I found that having the printer connect to a router that has been setup to use channel 5, 6 or 7 will cause port scanning issues with the printer.
It is obvious that there are 18 ports that are seen as open, whether they are used or not. Two of which are active but have no service connected to them. Some are just dead like port 25, but over half are active enough to recieve data and lock network connectivity within the printer.
As the firmware states some other laser jets may be affected depending on how the configuration can be set.
I moved my routers channel to channel 1 as it is the only other option I have in a highly congested location. It is not as good as channel 6, but the printer seems to have channel 6 locked in for direct printing.
Here is the latest full scan with UDP enabled, it is the furthest and most complete scan I am able to complete, with UDP ports enabled. The TCP port scan has a bit more and I have placed a simple list below the information given here:

New HH3 - Issues with Kodak Printer and iPhone 3GS

Hello,
Here is the background:
Previously had a D-Link DSL-G624M router and everything connected wirelessly. This included 2 laptops, Kodak ESP 5250 Printer and iPhone 3GS. Router broadcasting on channel 6 (locked).
Since upgrading to Infinity replaced the D-Link with a HH3. Laptops connect fine but have issues with other wireless devices.
iPhone: Seems to lose internet (not necessarily wireless connection though) intermittently. The phone remains connected to the HH3 and can be seen in the DHCP table and Home Network screens. The iPhone also reports that it is connected to the HH3. However, when attempting to access the internet using either Safari or apps it doesn't work. This can be fixed by forgetting the network and re-joining or turning Airplane Mode on and then off.
Kodak ESP5250 Printer: This connects fine to the HH3 and remains in the DHCP table and Home Network with the correct IP Address. Laptop A is able to connect and print successfully. However, after putting the laptop into sleep mode and re-waking it it is unable to Print. The Printer is still connected to the HH3 and laptop claims it is 'Ready' but unable to print. The only way i have found to fix this is to re-install the entire Printer software!! However, Laptop B does not have this problem and can be put into Sleep mode, Hibernate or restart and the printer remain connected. I do not think it is a firewall issue as able to connect until re-waking from sleep.
You're probably thinking the same as me that this sounds like hardware issues and not the HH3. Maybe coincidence that it started happening after changing to HH3. Maybe something wrong with the iPhone or Laptop A and/or Printer?!? Tried setting a manual channel on the HH3 as suggested by other posts but this had no effect. (Used inSSIDer to determine best channel). Also increased the IP Address lease time from 1 Day to 21 Days - but again no difference.
Current situation: Connected the D-Link router to the HH3 using Ethernet cable. Disabled DHCP and DNS on the D-Link router and kept SSID different. Now connected all devices to the D-Link router and nothing to the HH3 and everything is working as it did previously. The iPhone remains stable and the Kodak printer remains connected to both Laptops after re-waking from Sleep Mode.
I haven't yet contacted BT but i'm leaning towards it being a dodgy HH3. Anyone have any suggestions??
Thanks,
Martyn...

For starters, there's nothing wrong with your Iphone or Kodak prn. The issue is the HH3
I had a very similar issue connecting iMac, iPad, Macbook Pro, iPhone, Thinkpad and Canon prn via wireless to the HH3... Lots of disconnections, devices that couldn't log in, very low wireless speeds, printer not recognized, etc,etc
I went mad, pretty much did the same things as you did: inSSIDer, changing channels, re-installing whole softw drv !, reorientating HH3 position, manually assigning IPs and channels... nothing would seem to work!
Then I connected a Netgear router to HH3 via ethernet cable -like you did- and suddenly everything seemed to go back to normal. Here's what I found out after much head knocking:
1) The issue is the HH3, not that it's faulty but simply put it can't deal with lots of wireless traffic. The minute you connect several devices it gets clogged up
2) HH3 seem not to recognize WiFI printers that have a 'static' IP (not sure why)... this was a nightmare
3) if you have many devices connected, HH3 doesn't seem to 'like' Apple devices or wifi Airport powered (not sure why). After sleep mode these device can't pick up IP over the air, and you need to manually renew DHCP leases. There are several reports about this in Apple forums.
So here's what I did:
1) I ditched the HH3
2) I connected the Openreach router to a dual-band Netgear wndr3400 **cable** router (PPPoE connection)
3) I re-installed the prn drv in USB mode and then added wifi printer in wifi mode while usb connected
4) I created two-split WIFI networks; one in the channel 6/2.4Ghz frequency and another in the channels 44-48/5Ghz freq to which I assigned most devices (It seems BT Infinity wifi works best in 5Ghz channels)
Results: all devices recognised & connected via WiFI, no disconnections, steady WIFI speed almost as fast as ethernet cable, wifi prn prints fine from all devices... No more WIFI connnectivity issues.
I hope this helps, good luck
(note: my current issue is that my profile dropped from 34/8 to 21/2 during testing phase)

Hi All,
We are printing our month end AR statements using Xerox DP100 printers. We are using a SAP Script as the layout form. Everything works perfectly alright when a direct print is issued to the printer. But the scenario here is the statements are sent to a 3rd party software so that the statements can be saved in their repository and made available to be viewed and printed whenever necessary. Now the issue is when this 3rd Party Software(TPS) reads the SAP generated PCL from its report store on the unix host and generates a PDF File that it presents to the web client user for (re)printing via his/her PC it appears that the TPS or Websphere or Adobe is performing a font substituion - replacing the Univers font(used in R/3) which is not loaded on the unix host with a different font(with different sizing and/or behavior).
As a result the horizontal and vertical positioning generated by SAP(which is correct for the Univers font) is 'wrong' for the substituted font. The fixed size fields print OK but gradually move to the right. The varying size amount columns do not align correctly and fall off the right side of the page.
Can anyone give me pointers on what can be done to arrest this error.
Does the font need to be loaded on the unix host or the font used in the form be changed?
Regards,
Karthik

Karthik,
Sap script behaves differently for different printers. You will have to change margins when you change your printer/software accordingly.

Issue with remote printing

Hello
we have an issue with printing from redirected printer
on the local machine Windows 8.1 i have a printer installed and when i try to print from a remote pc to my installed printer on my local pc the paper type is replaced.
on the local printer it was set to letter but on the remote the redirected printer is set to legal.
i try to switch it to letter but it was not kept it switch back to legal.
any adviced will be good ?
Thanks

Hi,
What's the operating system of remote PC we log onto? Here, I am not sure that this can help but we can give a try by disabling the following policy setting:
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Printer Redirection\Use Remote Desktop Easy Print printer driver first
Regarding this point, the following KB article can be referred to for more information.
The client printer may print the documents by using an incorrect paper size if the "Use Remote Desktop Easy Print printer driver first" policy is enabled

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 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.

Issues With Word Print Dialogue in Leopard

I have run accross an issue with the MS Word 2008 print dialogue. The window is discolored and its contents located in strange locations. This would appear to be an issue with the OS's rendering of the Print window, as it looks like what might happen to a badly written program for system such as Tiger that use the old aqua appearance. Any suggestions regarding this issue would be appreciated.

I don't have Word 2008, but is that the only App that does it?
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
Any change on reboot?

Intermittent issues with SAP printing

Hi ALl, We have been having intermittent issues with printing (more specifically BOL printing) on both ECC production & Watre house production server recently. These issues occur at random hours and resolve themselves before the teams have had an opportunity to troubleshoot in detail. Also, both the Basis and hosting teams have analyzed the logs but haven’t reached a definite conclusion. Procedure used in printing: An outbound queue is created and processed in Warehouse Production and passed to ECC PRoduction. In ECC PRod an inbound queue is processed to update and trigger the shipment document. When the shipment document is completed it then triggers the print of the BOL output from the shipment. Then and only then is anything sent to the print queue. AND it will be with user id = ALEREMOTE. The other printing works fine. Any thought..will be highly obliged.. Regards, VIcky

Issue : Automatic Barcode Printing on network printer .

Hi everybody ,
              I am printing barcode through network printer(zebra) , this is working fine .
             But my requirement is whenever i will print barcode i have to open SAP LPD on network printer , so
             is there any code through which i can directly pass my barcode file to SAP Comm Port and it prints bar automatically .
             It's very ...........................................................
Thanks 'n' Regards ,
Nilesh

Hi Aidan ,
      Thaks for your reply .
      My requirement is :
       " Whenever user scan a UPC no. into SAP System ( or our SAP Prog) should not create any Spool Request for barcode
          printing , it directly pass data to SAP Comport and print label "
          Because there thousands of UPC can be scan so thousands of spool will stored into SAP System , which decrease the
           performance plus extra space will consume by system .
        Is that possbile without creating a Spool data directly send to printer .
Thanks 'n' Regards ,
Nilesh

Performance issue of Barcode printing

Hi Experts,
I had designed a smartform using the new barcode printing technology. It works fine. The only problem is speed. I'm using se30 to analyze the performance of this smartform. If I remove the barcode, it takes less than 2 seconds for ABAP execution of this smartform. But if I enable barcode printing, the ABAP execution time is increased to 4.3 seconds. May I know if it's normal to take about 2 seconds to generate the barcode in smartform? Is there anyway I can improve the performance?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Wu Xue

Hi Sripal,
Thanks for your reply. Did you encounter the speed problem only when you try to print the form or you encounter the same problem even during previewing? For me, the barcode generation takes more than 2 seconds during previewing. I think it will take more time during real printing.
Best Regards,
Wu Xue

Issue with network printing after installation of 10.5.6.

Ehhmm, sorry if I disturb, but can you help me? I cannot print/scan over wireless time capsule since I have installed 10.5.6. The printer is connected to a windows cable network. Before everything performed perfectly. The printer is a HP Photosmart 3210 all in one. I have already installed the newest software.
Thnk you. CP

i tried the firewall settings, but that didn't help.
after reading for hours, downloading useless drivers, resetting the printer, plugging and unplugging and on and on, i uninstalled and then reinstalled by HP printer software (the disc that came with the printer years ago) for the second time. Configured the printer with the printer USB plugged into my Airbook. That was never the problem - always worked fine.
Then I turned the printer off, plugged the USB into the Airport Extreme Base Station, unplugged the Airport Extreme Base Station, plugged it back in, turned the printer on. And lo and behold when i went to my SysPrefs, Print and Fax, and added another printer, it was recognized as a bonjour printer (that was always the case - the hold up was that it wouldn't find an appropriate driver), and when I chose AutoSelect for the driver, it came up with one! This was where the hang up was before. It selected a 2.2.9 driver, and when the printer is plugged directly into my computer via USB it uses a 4.0.1 driver - who knows why. but it's printing.
i had also read that it might be impossible to run this particular HP officejet all-in-one (5510v) wirelessly, so i'm very happy. hope this can help someone else.

Issue with any printer driver on 2008 R2

I have this issue, which is rather strange.
It all started when suddenly a few computers on our domain couldn't see printers in the catalogue on our old win 2003 print server when they did a search, that issue stopped by it self, but none the less, it was there. Then a few weeks later, when any
given end user wanted to add any given printer via the catalogue search it wouldn't install the driver we've provided and that had worked for so long before that, and when the installer would do is to start looking on Windows update for the driver to use,
but it would fail.
Due to that we have a Windows 2008 R2 server enviroment on our domain I took this oppertunity to upgrade the print server and manually (for a temporarly use only) add the printers via their IP add. for te users that need to print daily, which
has been no problem at all with installing/getting to print/Work.
Now the really strange thing is that now that I have added the new domain print server 2008 R2 this issue withstands!? I can clearly see the list of printers in the catalogue that I made, but I still get the issue where the installation tries to get the
driver via Windows Update.
On the Network we use Xerox 7665 with a PCL rev 2.0 driver, HP 2015n, HP 2020, 2025n printer that use Universial PCL 5.2 driver (tried with 6.0 as well, same issue). HP 4700 that has its correct driver as well.
Can anyone here tell me where the issue might be at? Remember this big issue is that it cannot install any given printer on any given end user and it always tries to get the driver from Windows Update.
Also, end users have Windows 7 x86 and x64 versions installed. No XP, No Windows 8.
I hope someone here can help me, because my Google search gives me nothing... And normally Google and I are so good friends resolving issues ><

Seems like a common issue please try this. Please take a registry backup first.
This
is a very common error found in environments that use Windows 2003 32bit print servers , HP printers and 64Bit clients .
This problem may occur because of the following factors :
1 ) The dll Print Processor configured for your printer is not in the Client or Server drivers folder 2
) The Print Processor that the printer uses only installed the 32bit files and does not install the 64Bit version
Resolution:
Microsoft
has released a fix to try to solve this problem (
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982728/pt-br ) , however even with this
fix applied already came across the problem then to solve just follow the steps below :
On the print server , open regedit and navigate to the folder ;
