Printing 2-D barcodes

hi folks,
          i have two doubts reagsrding barcodes.
1. what is the difference between single dimension barcode and two dimesional barcode.
2. can we print 2-D barcodes on SAP Scripts/smartforms on a data matrix printer.
printer deatils are as follows.
        Printer: Intermec 4440
        Barcode Symbology: Codematrix
        SAP version 4.6c SP54
if we can print, will the data matrix printer pritn it directly or do we need any software to do so. please help me regarding this..
            thns in advance,
             santosh.

Hi the correct use ist like this:
= <MC>&BARCODEFIELD1&&BARCODEFIELD2&</>
it works fine.

  • How to print three different Barcodes in the same line

    I am trying to print Barcodes for three different fields in a single line, it is taking the combined one & printing only one barcode for  all those three fields.
       When I tested it by printing them in diff lines, it is working fine. But the requirement is to  print all fields in the same line

    Hi
    Look at this , may be useful
    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.

    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.

  • Printing QR-Code barcodes in SAP smartforms

    Hi,
    Is it possible to print QR-Code barcodes in SAP smartforms using system barcode font? Can anybody please let me know the font settings for QR-Code in SE73 font maintenance?
    A sample QR-Code lablel can be found [here|http://images.orkut.com/orkut/albums2/ATUAAADhaahG5MxsqQ66lcSO9oHRWD3X8zh7yv1kEakKwMtVHchChN1WfZlM__2D0_o8H7AS4_UaTTCymQQtvXHb9-q3AJtU9VCWnzkZ4gC1sVnCekVuQ90qmhzeMw.jpg].

    Hi Milan,
    I'll blog in SDN about my research that I presented at TechEd during session CD119 (blog) but I'll begin sharing with you some ideas.
    Basically, without relay on any printer specific driver I would propose to follow the following steps:
    1.Generate the QR Code image file (.PNG) with one of the methods presented in the following pages
    2.Upload the image into the SAP system
    2.1 Convert the generated file (file.png) to TIFF using SAP IGS class CL_IGS_IMAGE_CONVERTER (see GRAPHICS_IGS_IMGCONV_DEMO)
    2.2.Upload. Use report RSTXLDMC to upload the image into SE78
    3.Include the image into the Form:
    3.1.SAPScript/:INCLUDE ZHEX-MARCO-name OBJECT TEXT ID ST
    If everything is clear, the missing point should now be the first one. To generate the PNG from ABAP I found some options if you like, the better I think is presented in my open source project called abap2qrcode published here http://code.google.com/p/abap2qrcode/.
    I know it's not trivial and I'm curious to know what do you think about it.

  • Smartform to Print a 2D barcode.

    Hi,
    We are developing a smartform, though which we have to print a 2D barcode. The barcode format required in PDF417, and will be based on data fed into this barcode.
    Problem we are facing is: PDF417 Barcode format is not available in SAP 4.6C. We came across one OSS note which suggests upgrading Kernel Patch to 1615 (4.6D). Client is far behind the current patch level and this is not the workable solution
    Can anyone please suggest an alternate solution for the above problem.
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi,
    There are two types are barcode existing in sap like system barcode and printer barcode. Use Tcode SE73 to create any of those.
    If you want to create your own customized barcode then you have to opt system barcode. Here while creating barcode it will ask whether to create new barocde or copy of existing barcode.
    However by taking into consideration your requirement, you have to create system bar code.
    Goto SE73->System barcode->change-> create new barcode->New barcode technology.
    Here you have to mention barcode name and short text. then supported barcode symbology like C39,C128, code93 etc.
    After selecting any of the symbology, you have to choose Bar Code Alignment: like normal. inverted, etc. Then specify other barcode parameters like height,width, barcode ratio etc.
    Then try to print any text element with this customized barcode as per your requirement.
    Like you can print text element with smartform style, here you can include your customized created barcode in character format. While creating charactor format, give name of your customized barcode in standard setting->name.
    Then print text element by using smartform style.
    Hope this works for you.
    Thanks.......

  • How to generate and print 20x20 datamatrix barcode using labview?

    Along with the barcode certain datas are to be added to the right of it.

    Since you started a duplicate thread - I'm going to continue in here.
    We have given you a number of different options to generate/print a barcode using LabVIEW.
    Do you have the Bartender software installed with the Automation (ActiveX) option? Can you print a label from within the Bartender Software? Do you know how to call ActiveX functions in LabVIEW? For the latter, if you Google 'calling ActiveX LabVIEW' you will get a lot of results. Once you know how to do that, you just need to know which Bartender ActiveX functions to call.
    I've attached a couple of screenshots from some quick code my colleague put together before to initialise Bartender, open a label template, fill in a field and print a label. Don't forget the close the references when your application exits. For more information you'll need to read the Bartender documentation.

  • 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

  • Barcode not displaying/printing in Crystal Report java viewer

    We have written a Crystal report (in Developer XI release 2 with service pack 4 installed) which produces barcode labels.  The barcodes are Code 39 barcodes and are generated by printing the string \*data_field\* in a Code 39 barcode font.  The asterisk is the character used for the Code 39 start/stop sequence in the barcode font.
    In Developer everything works fine and prints out and scans correctly. When we make the report available to our end users in the Crystal Reports java viewer all we get where the barcode should appear is white space on screen or when we print.  (The rest of the report behaves correctly). 
    We have tried a few things and have found that if both asterisks or the starting or ending asterisk is left in a different font (i.e. not the barcode font) then the rest of the string displays and prints in the barcode font.  (unfortunately without bot asterisks you don't get a scanable barcode).
    Has anyone got any suggestions on how to fix this?
    (In case it might be relevant the barcode font we are using is this one: http://www.barcodesinc.com/free-barcode-font/)
    Thanks

  • Avery Barcode labels does not align properly when printed from Adobe Reader 11.0.0

    Hi,
    I have barcode labels in a PDF (Version 1.4, Acrobat 5.x). PDF producer is PPAlambic(Distiller). When I try to print the PDF on to Avery 5160 sheet containing 30 labels (10 rows; 3 labels in a row), always the barcodes on the first column goes beyond the left margins and hence does not print the full barcode. PDF size is 8.5" * 11" .I have tried following options in Print dialog box:
    1. Actual Size + Portrait + Letter size
    2. Shrink oversized pages + Portrait + Letter size
    3. Fit + Portrait + Letter size
    None of the above options resolved my issue.
    When I open the same PDF in Adobe Reader 11.0.07, it prints perfectly. Does someone help me understand if this is a known defect in Adobe 11.0.0 and is there any workaround in 11.0.0 itself to adjust the alignment?
    Note: PDF is not editable as it comes from a third party vendor. Please help.

  • Printing problem with script barcode

    hi ,
         i hav inserted a barcode for a particular window field. while giving print preview it is showing barcode.
         after taking print, it is not displaying the barcode.
       thank u all in advance,
      balu.

    Hello,
    In general, if you want to print a barcode, somebody must draw the bars
    of the barcode to get a correct print. So 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).
    Please see the following Note about the sequences for Jetcaps BarDIMM used
    for printing barcodes on HP Laserjet printers:
    45643 Barcode control sequences for JetCAPS/Jetmobile BarDIMM
    The correct BarDIMM modules for different HP printer models can be seen 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. So it is only needed, if
    you want to print this way please see the following note for more information:
    14561 Printing barcodes via SAPLPD / Barcode DLL
    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 note 48803. Since release 46C these files can also be uploaded into the SAP and
    used via other device types.
    Hope this information helps you resolve the issue.
    Regards,
    David

  • Printing QR codes and Barcodes together

    Dear All,
    I have referred the following link to print QR code as a post script:
    http://scn.sap.com/people/robert.russell/blog/2010/10/25/barcodes-in-sap-with-the-barcode-writer-in-pure-postscript
    While printing my SAP Script/ SMARTFORM output on any printer, if I specify output device as ZBWIPP then QR code is being printed perfectly, but barcodes (Which are already there in script and are expected to be there) are not being printed at all. When the output is printed without specifying any output device, then only barcodes are being printed and not the QR code.
    I have tried adding print controls ZBW01, ZBW02, ZBW09 and ZBW91 to the output type of printer, even then QR code is not being printed.
    I request your advice and help on how to get QR code and barcodes printed together. Thank you.

    P.S. These existing barcodes are of type BC_CD39, not post script barcodes.

    Hi Karthik,
    I have a requirement to
    1) Output data from an internal table into excel, and
    2) Create a chart from the data in excel
    So far I have been able to export the data using OLE calls, created a chart object,.
    My question:
    1. How to put Data Lables
    2. How to put Data Table under the Chart
    3. How to rename the series names.
    Below is the recorded Macro. I don't know how to convert it to ABAP.
    Sub Macro1()
    ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart.Select
    ActiveChart.ChartType = xlColumnClustered
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Range("B1:E4")
    ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Name = "=Sheet2!$A$2"
    ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(2).Name = "=Sheet2!$A$3"
    ActeChart.SeriesCollection(3).Name = "=Sheet2!$A$4"
    ActiveChart.SetElement (msoElementDataLabelOutSideEnd)
    ActiveChart.SetElement (msoElementDataTableWithLegendKeys)
    End Sub
    I have attached the current output and expected output.
    I have searched about this in google but i could not find any solution for this.
    Your help is greatly appreciated.
    Current Output:
    Expected Output:
    I hope that I have explained my query clearly.
    Thanks,

  • 2 of 5 barcode printing in Smartforms

    Hi,
    I am printing a 2 of 5 barcode on my smartform. When reading it using the barcode reader, I have an extra "0" showing at the beginning of the value. The extra zero is not showing on the human readable value. This is not the check digit as in the barcode font set up, I have removed the same.
    E.g. if my value is 0123456789 stored in a type NUMC of 10, I am getting 0123456789 printed beneath the barcode but the barcode reader shows 00123456789, i.e. a total of 11 characters.
    Could anyone tell me the reason behind this and what the solution could be?
    Thanks and best regards,
    Prem

    Hi,
    In standard bar code BC_125 zero will be prefixed to the value you print as bar code.
    Create a custom barcode as below
    se73->select system bar codes->change->click on create
    select new bar code technology->enter new bar code ZBC_125 and description->continue
    select Interleaved 2of5->continue->select normal->continue
    In the screen of Interleaved 2of5 parameters set 'Mod-10 Check Digit' to blank value->continue and save the bar code.
    Now select your custom bar code and test barcode(F6).
    This will resolve your problem.
