Label rotates with Zebra QL 420+

I have some difficulties to print labels with zebra QL 420+. My media is 2x4 and when I try to print, everything rotates 90 degrees. There is also blank label before the actual data prints out. I've tried to adjust the orientation from the printer settings but it doesn't seem to help at all.
I was wondering if anyone has had similar problems and could perhaps give me some ideas what might be causing this behavior. Any help is much appreciated.

Now I got the orientation part fixed. I had 2x4 pagesize on my zplii200.ics file and it didn'work so I added 4x2 and that did the trick. I dunno why but adjusting the portrait/landscape setting didn't help with 2x4.
I still have some problems with the printer. I get two blank labels before the label with data prints out. If I invert the label 180 degrees, then I get two trailing blank labels.
Any ideas what causes that to happen?

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,

Problem printing horizontal text in smartform with zebra Z6M label printer

hello,
The situation is this:
There is a Z smartform wich prints a label to a zebra Z6M label printer with the text and barcodes vertically.
The form have a command in the main windows with the parameter: S_LZPL_SETUP '^FWR'
This label works fine, but the client want to change the form, they have told me to create a new smartform and print the info horizontally, using the same printer.
The tests i have done are the following:
create a smartform from ground and write a template text and a barcode with a new font of system barcodes. the bardoce is shown ok(it is shown horizontally), the problem is that the template text is shown vertically, as in the original smartform.
then i tried on another zebra ZM600 label printer, similar model, but not the same, and the smartform printed was ok (text and barcodes shown horizontally). So i think is a configuration setting problem, but i dont know where to search.
i have checked the label printer parameters in SPAD, but didnt find anything souspicios.
have you any idea?
thanks in advance.

See these if they be of any help.....
BARCODE:
goto smartform styles-> create a style-->
create a character format.
under standard settings give the bar code name
use this style in ur smartform. select the data field which u want to barcode print and assign the character format
Similarly
SAPSCRIPT
open the form and click the character format button and
repeat the step as above....

Go to Character formate in your form.
create a new char formate with enable BAR code AND
you can give its type too.
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
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.

Detailed 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.
Creating Bar code:
) 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
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.

How to print Barcode in te SAP SCRIPTS?

Printing thermal labels from fedex with Zebra 2844

I am trying to print Fed Ex shipping labels on a Zebra thermal printer 2844. Now under 10.5.6, I am able to select printer and configure it. When I print,either with safari or firefox instead of printing label - it prints rows of numbers. Has anyone done this successfully?

Dear MacAssemble:
Thanks very much for your reply. Yesterday I tried right-clicking on the UPS label image from their website. Then I opened that image in Preview (copy from clipboard) and selected appropriate formatting in the "Print" dialog box. I also printed out the entire label via Java and printed it out on the inkjet (HP 5740). I put both labels on the package and later snagged the UPS man.
"Did that label scan?" I asked him, having written on the thermal label "Did it scan?"
He laughed and said, "Yes, it scanned fine."
It still looked funky-- kind of pixellated and not completely sharp, but it did scan. I told him to hotline me (I'll write my phone on each label) if he had trouble in the future. We'll see.
So, you open the label in Gimp or PS and increase the resolution? I tried increasing the res on the 2844, but it resulted in an image to large to fit on a 4"x6" label.
Do you suppose the problem is Preview or the graphic format used by UPS itself. As I mentioned, Endicia works great, but, of course, Preview is not involved-- it prints directly to the Zebra. Trouble is, more than half my packages going out are UPS.
In every case, thank you very much for your response. I've searched the net and discussion groups for some weeks just to confirm this problem, and found nothing. So at least now I know I'm not crazy (well, at least in this area). Thanks.
Best,

Printing trhough SAPWIN with ZEBRA printer

Hi Gurus
I need your help please since I already spent a lot of time to find a solution and not found any.
I use Smartform to produce labels on ZEBRA printer (output Device Z201, Device Type ZLZEB2:Zebra label printer 203dpi). All fields on my form use HELVE as font. I print my form through Z201 and it works fine.
My requirement now is to print the form to ZEBRA printer locally using SAPWIN (Rel 4.x/SAPlpd 4.09 + ONL:Y) as device type. To do this I created a new output device LCLB, copied the device type SAPWIN into ZWIN and attached to output device LCLB
The problem is when I print the form using LCLB, all my fields with HELV font are printed with COURRIER font.
I went in transaction SE73 and display printer fonts associated with ZWIN and it seems that all fonts (COURCYR, COURIER, OUR_I7, HELVCYR, HELVE, HELV_I7, OCRA, OCRB, TIMECYR, TIMES, TIME_I7) are defined there. Do I miss something? Do I have to redefine the print control in ZWIN with control characters corresponding with ZEBRA printer?
Any feedback would be appreciated
Thank you

Hi Valter,
did you figured it out why do you had a problem with that printer?
tks

Smartforms printing issue with ZEBRA Printer

Hi All,
I am facing a issue where we are printing a 5*4 inch label on a Zebra printer out of SAP,when i Print the same on a Zebra printer the text is Blown up and the entire contents doesn't fit,but when see the spool and when I convert that spool in Pdf using the program RSTXPDFT4 and see the properties it looks perfect with properties as 5*4 Inch.
Can someone give me there inputs of a similar issue they faced.
Regards,

Hi,
could you take a picture of the label printed by your Zebra ?
Did you use the ZPLII printer driver ?

Label Printing with ZPLII

Hello All,
We are trying to print labels with Zebra printers using ZPL II programming.
The prints are ok for english characters but it does not print the characters belonging to European characters.
We changed the device type to support special characters. But we are not sure if the new device type will support that.
Please suggest your thoughts on this.
thanks
Seema

Hi Seema,
if you use sapscript, I guess you use the method described in SAP Note 179534 where you create the label in the third party BAR-ONE program and upload it to the sapscript form in the SAP system. In this case, device type like LB_ZEB is used which just passes the print data with the embedded ZPL-II commands to the printer without changing anything.
I'm not sure which languaegs you are trying to print. Usually, it is necessary to copy the device type e.g. ZLB_ZEB and change the character set of the device type to a character set, which supports the required language. The current character se for device type LB_ZEB is 1162.
Regards,
Aidan

Auto Tick Label Rotate, No Stagger

Is it possible to have the O1 tick labels of a bar chart not stagger the labels when overlap is detected and instead move directly to label rotation? I had thought this might do the trick:
<O1TickLabel tickLabelStaggered="false" automaticRotation="AR_HORIZ_ROTATE_90"/>
It does not. It initially staggers when overlap is detected before moving to rotation when labels are cluttered enough that staggering no longer solves overlapping.
I realize I can use this to have rotation used all the time:
<O1TickLabel textRotation="TR_HORIZ_ROTATE_90" automaticRotation="AR_NO_ROTATE">
But I like the idea of showing the labels straight across if they are sparse enough to fit.

Test Screen Name, indeed it will be impossible to provide a fool-proof solution for innumerable printer/Adobe Reader combinations.
I will be providing ready to print label sheets (not templates) on my web site. I reckon the users will be keen, but mostly have no IT skills.
The sample sheet is a great idea as this would help reduce ink consumption on the test prints!
I am keen for this to become a success and I would love to provide screenshots of printer settings.
I run Linux on all my machines, so won't be able to obtain screenshots with any ease.
I am working on the assumption that that 95% of PDF files are opened with Adobe Reader on Mac/Windows. Have you got any idea which are the nost common versions in the field now?

Communication problem with Zebra printer

Post Author: rafu
CA Forum: .NET
Hi,I'm trying to write bidirectional communication with Zebra printer - e.g. send data to print and receive data read from tags. To send data it's possible to use WritePrinter methods described in internet, however I don't know how to get it?? In producer's manuals there is only example to printer connected by LPT1, my uses usb.Does anyone have any ideas??? Help please!rafu

I would look at XP's port configuration for the printer and then try and use the same protocol on the Mac. If XP is showing it as RAW Port 9100, then that is shown as HP jet Direct - Socket on the Mac. The only issue then is whether the OS X driver is available in the Lexmark list. Sometimes the provided OS X driver is only for direct USB connections, so you have to look at using an alternate driver, such as those offered by Gutenprint.

Storage unit labels along with pallet labels in wm

Hello,
could you please explain how to generate storage unit label along with pallet label in wm. for example if 1pallet contains 4 boxes and each box will have20 bottles then we need to print pallet label for 4boxes and unit label for each box with 20 bottles information.
Thanks
Regards,
Pavan Kumar

Hi Pavan,
Based on your requirement and as far as standard SAP are concern there is no form which will help to generate the label in the above format. You need to take the help from development team who can design the format using SMARTFORM functionality as per your requirement. once the form is ready you can assign the print code and the SU lable form to below mentioned node. which will print the label on the printer specified
SPRO ---LE---WM ---Storage unit ---Define print control
additionally have a look on the below mentioned SAP standard link which will give you an idea about the printing of SU
Printing SU Documents Manually - Warehouse Management System (WMS) - SAP Library
Let me know if you need any further information

OID-Integrated Label Security with HTMLDB?

Hi,
I've followed the how-to document to integrate Oracle Label Security with Oracle Internet Directory.(http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/security/database-security/howtos/ols_oid-how-to.html).
I've successfully created a label security policy for the HR.LOCATIONS table. I would like that same policy to be effective on any query regions in an HTMLDB application.
I created a test application in HTMLDB, and changed the authentication scheme to be LDAP. It uses Oracle Internet Directory to authenticate the users, and this works successfully.
However, when I login with an OID user that has been assigned to use the policy, I get no rows returned.
What is a good way to integrate my label security policy with my htmldb applicaton so that it works within HTMLDB and outside of HTMLDB?
I saw the technote to use VPD, but when I tried this, it caused my label security policy to stop working. I somehow made it conflict...(http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/notes/technote_htmldb_vpd.html)
I guess I'm just not sure what the VPD function should look like after I've already created a Label Security Policy.
I basically want it to look at the APP_USER and then apply the policy appropriately.
Thanks,
Nora

Scott,
It still worked in SQLPLUS when I typed 'set role none' first.
The way I granted PROFILE_ACCESS was through a label security command:
SQL> exec sa_user_admin.set_user_privs('senspolicy','parse_schema','FULL,PROFILE_ACCESS');
It seems like this is the only way..
It just seems strange that it works in SQLPLUS. I'm trying to figure out what other permissions I need for HTMLDB.
Thanks again,
Nora

Save Color Label Set with Collection

I'd like to be able to save a Color Label Set with a Collection. I'm getting ready to process a bunch of images and I have two destinations for them: a web site slide show, and Flickr. I want to do a slideshow of a small subset of images, but I want to post to Flickr all photos with a rating of 3 or greater.
I'd like to be able to set up a specific color label set with a color for "slideshow". But, I probably wouldn't use it all the time. It would be great if that specific color label set could be saved with a Collection of all these photos I'm going to work on. That way when I come back in a year and see green photos I get the right text instead of whatever color label set I'm currently using.
Sure, I can manage this by using some naming convention for the color labels, but it just seems like a natural fit for something that should be able to be specific to a Collection.
Pete

Press J to toggle the grid view styel. Only two modes show the color label squares.
It could also be that you have turned of grid view extras. You can find the option to turn these on in the menu View - Grid View Style.
It could also be that you have changed the option to show the labels Library View Options.
(Press Command+J to access).
Look that one of the fields under Compact Cell Extras contains the option Label.

Accessing Node Labels - TreeControl with CheckBoxes

Hello,
I have a Tree component that is loaded with CheckBoxes. Each node has a label associated with it, and I need to be able to collect the labels and display them on the right of the component - probably using a Label or Text control.
I can't seem to figure out how to access the names of the items that are checked. I'm including a complete, and simplified, mxml file. If anyone would like to take a look at it, I would appreciate it.
Thanks.
OH - And I am using the Tree CheckBox component from this site: http://www.sephiroth.it/file_detail.php?id=151
Sorry, but the forum will not allow me to upload the files directly.
You will probably need to add those classes to see the Tree CheckBox.

Natasha,
Thanks for your reply.
I attempted the code:
public function get labelText():String
if (this.label != null)
return this.label.text
else
return "";
return "";
But when I try to access the code in the application I get the error "Call to possibley undefined method labelText."
I'm not sure I understand exactly how to implement this change within the application itself. Could you explain? Thanks.

My screen won't rotate with the phone

I'd like to know why my screen does not rotate with my phone. And how do I fix that.

iOS: Screen does not rotate

Why do photos etc no longer rotate with my device under the new operating system

Since updating my phone with the new operating system, photos & videos etc no longer rotate with my device

Do you have ‘orientation lock’ turned on? This can be found via the quick options (swipe up), it is the icon in the top-right. If so, turn it off.
