Printing barcode from locl printer

Hi,
We can print barcode from printers set up in sap but not from the same printer if we select locl. as per sap note 14561, Barcode printing is not supported directly with Frontend printing.
It seems in order to print from locl printer, we need to buy some barcode.dll files. Has anyone able to print barcodes w/o using these dll files. These files are a bit expensive as they contain software to design barcodes also. In our case barcode is already designed in sap and we just want to print it. any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jassi

Ashok,
we are able to print barcodes on the printers that are set up in sap. Issue is when we print on the locl printer. To be more clear, I have a printer which is set up in sap as 'SAP-1'. The same printer is my local printer. While printing if I select 'SAP-1', it prints barcode, but if I select LOCL as printer(even though physically the printer is same), It does not print the barcode.
We have some printers in field which can not be set up in sap. That's why we want some solution that can print barcodes on a locl printer.

Is it possible to print barcodes from LT31 (SAPScript) on a Zebra?

Hi
We have a factory that would like to print their picking lists/transfer orders using transaction LT31 to a Zebra ZM600 printer. The transaction appears to create a spool in the SAPScript format.
We have tried pretty much all of the Zebra drivers (ZEB), a standard HP driver and a ASCII line printer driver (in SPAD) but nothing works - barcodes are not printed. For some drivers the format of the spool looks good in SP01, but then nothing is printed at all at the printer! In other cases the text is okay but barcodes are not, in other cases the text is complete gibberish.
The user has been informed that SmartForms should be used instead of SAPScript but we believe this would involve changes at ABAP level and our ABAP support is by a third party company which we are trying to avoid using.
I have seen SAP Note 179534 - Label printing with Zebra printers (SAPscript) but it seems this would also involve Application Support/ABAP teams etc.
Is there anything we (SAP Basis) or the end user can do to be able to print barcodes from LT31 to the Zebra printer without involving Application/ABAP support?
Thanks
Ross

then you need your own printprogram and everything is fine. with open_form ; start_form ; write_form; end_form
you can communicate direct with the Datamax Programming Language from SAPScript to the Barcode printer.
i also have the datamax programmers manual as pdf if you want i could send it to you. let me know by PM.
also have look into HW 490295 the bartender Solution works fine for me to create the SO10 text's

JDeveloper Team - How to print Barcodes from java application

We are developing an Inventory based application in JDeveloper 3.2.2/Oracle 8i/Netscape Enterprice web server on Windows NT platform. The application is developed in swing technology.
We have to print Barcodes on Intermec 3400/4100 or Zeebra Z4000 (connected to COM1/COM2) from our java application from one of our screens.
Can you please point me to right place or get me sample source how to achieve this. We are working on a timebound deadline and we are really counting on your sincere response ASAP. Thanks in advance.

Try creating a page called launcher.html (for example). That does this:
<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
windowHandle=window.open("http://www.javasoft.com", "", "height=700,width=1000,status=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,top=5,left=5");
</script>
</head>
</html>Now you launch IE (or whatever) with this page using the Runtime class. After x seconds (after the second window has been launched) try killing the process. Hopefully it will kill the original window you opened and not the window you popup (the one without toolbars etc)
It might kill both windows but I can't be bothered to test it. If it does you'll have to try and find a workaround.

Smart form printing issue with LOCL printer and SAP printer

Hi,
The issues are as follows:
1. the top portion of the Invoice and PO does not print when using the SAP printer (works when using LOCL)
2. the shaded areas of the Order Confirmation and Invoice are black when printing to a SAP printer (works when using LOCL)
In an attempt to correct the printing issue is was suggested that we change the SAP printer device type from HPLJ4 to POST2. This did address the problem where the shaded areas were black but then we received reports that other reports printed "garbage". Its possible that using POST2 device type causes issues when printing to HP compatible printers.
Apparently all the testing was done using the SAP printer LOCL and not the SAP printer name and SAP spool system. LOCL uses the SAP GUI and Windows system to produce the output. Our production users at the plant site and Toledo are using SAP defined printers with the device type of HPLJ4. HPLJ4 is our standard here as OC for our printer definitions and we have HP compatible printers installed in our Toledo location and all of our remote sites. We need to be able to correctly print the Invoices, Purchase Orders, Sales Order Confirmations on our SAP printers.
What can be done to the reports to allow them to print on our HPLJ4?
Thanks,
Babu

Hi Prathap,
Check the background shading of the windows of the Smartform where you get the black boxes. If it is set something like this:
Color: White
Saturation: 100%
this can be the problem.
I know it is strange but some black and white printers cannot handle this setting. They only know one color black so the ignore the color setting and just take the saturation 100% setting.
The reason it works with local and device type SAPWIN is that the print data is created in Windows and sent to the printer as graphic.
Please change the shading for window MAIN -> tab 'Output Options' to:
Color: Black
Saturation: 0%
and this should resolve the problem.
Then create a new spool and check if the problem is resolved. See SAP Note #400050.

Prabhu

Print quality from network printer

poor print quality from HP wireless pc, Windows 7 64-bit, to wired network printer (Epson 500 all in one). Print Quality from desktop pc is great.

Happy Friday eve! It appears you are using a Epson printer This forum is used to troubleshooting HP printers. I would suggest using Epson support center to see if it can help resolve your issue. Welcome to Epson Support Be sure you have full cartridges and you are not using a Draft or low quality print setting.
Good luck!

Hi,
Does the alignment look correct in te print preview? There are some problems with dot matrix printers due to limitations of the ESC/P printer lamguage.(see SAP note #19807)
Try printing via windows and a windows device type like SAPWIN or SWINCF. The result should be better.

Is it possible to prevent the Print Dialog from waking printer?

Hi all,
Although I have a printer attached to my iMac, most of the time I just use the Print Dialog to 'Save as PDF' rather than to actually print. However, as soon as I hit cmd-P the printer is woken up, even though I never use it. Is there an option somewhere that will tell OSX to only wake the printer if I actually send the document to the printer?
thanks,
d

Hi there,
I think you could create a dummy IP printer, using Generic Postscript for the driver, and set it as your default printer. Then when you print to pdf from your app, having this dummy printer selected may stop the USB physical printer from waking.
To create the dummy, open Print & Fax and click + to add. Select IP and LPD for the protocol. Enter an IP address of 10.0.1.50, leave the queue name blank, change the Name to Dummy and select Generic Postscript in the Print Using menu. Click Add to complete the queue creation.
Now set this printer as the default and try printing. Hopefully this stops the real printer from waking.
One last note. Just remember to change the printer in the Print dialog when you do need to print on paper.

Decoding 2D barcode on forms printed from Adobe Reader

We use LiveCycle Designer 8 in Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro to create forms, which are then opened, completed and printed using Adobe Reader, then signed by the user and mailed back.
We believe we can put a 2D paper forms barcode on the form, but if filled in by Adobe Reader the data gets encrypted and so cannot be scanned (though if completed by Acrobat, the data is not encrypted - unfortunately most customers do not have Acrobat)
We heard that you could buy software or a hardware device to enable the received printed forms to be scanned and the 2D data decoded - is this correct still?
Thanks

In regards to the Decoder, this is a piece of software that does the actual decoding of the barcode from a printed and scanned form (or faxed). It can decode barcodes from both TIFF and PDF documents.
If you are using a high-speed scanning solution then you more than likely have a decoder built into your solution. If not, then the decoder is an ideal add-on solution. In fact, with the new Adobe LiveCycle Barcoded Forms ES you can not only decode but you can integrate the data right into your existing workflow quite easily.
For a great overview of the ES line, check out: http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/techsummary.html?showMyTab=tab_foundation

Printing bar code to LOCL printer

I have created a smartform to print a bar code using bar code BC_CD39. I call the smartform function in an ABAP program and then display it in PDF form using function:
call function 'SSFCOMP_PDF_PREVIEW'
     EXPORTING
          i_otf                    = otfdata
     EXCEPTIONS
          convert_otf_to_pdf_error = 1
          cntl_error               = 2
          others                   = 3.
The bar code does show on the PDF, but it is just showing as repeating bars of the same size. Like this:
And when I print to LOCL printer, it prints out the same. Why is it not printing/displaying the true bar code?

Hi
Which printer are you using? To print the Barcodes you need a separate Barcode printer see the following
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.
