Printing Lables on Zebra's Z4M using ZPL in SapScript

Hello Everyone,
I've got one major problem. I'm trying to print labels using ZPL-Commands in Sap-Script.
I created a new label as explained in so many posts here: One page, one page window, next page = first page.
I got the ZPL-Code into the SapScript-Form as mentioned in older posts (importing into standard-text. then copy to main-windows of form.).
O.k., everything went fine. And tadaa, I even can print the label out of my quality notification (--> stability study --> storage labels).
O.k., now theres the point I need your help. Is there any idea why there is only one label printed? And not 10 like I wanted to be printed? In SAP-spool there are 10 pages.
Heres the ZPL-Code of my Label:
XATA000JSNLT0MMTMNWMTTPONPMNLH0,0JMAPR4,4MD0JUSLRNCI0^XZ
/XALL0281
/^PW799

I even tried it without the NEW-WINDOW command, but this didn't work either.
Any good ideas?
If you need more information just let me know.
Thanks.

Hello again,
I solved the problem with a little help from a senior programmer. She told me to set the element /LABEL at the beginning of my textelement in main-windows.
That's what I forgot.

Unable to print lables on Zebra printer

Hi,
We have designed a new lable using the zebra software: ZebraDesigner for mySAP Business Suite 2. This software generates a Zebra code and the same is copied in SAP script to pass the command to Zebra printer.
The Zebra printer name is : Zebra Z4M Plus (300dpi).
Font: ^B3 Code 39
We are using SAP Script to print the output.
Error: When we fire the print, the lables are printed "blank". What could be the possible areas where we need to check.
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
Did you follow the steps of SAP #179534? If your zebra printer supports ZPL2 printer language, this should use. You should use devcei type LB_ZEB to create the spool.

Printing Lables Issues

Dear Gurus,
In the print preview we are able to see the bar code for the batch number. While taking the print out we are not getting the bar code for the batch number.
Any flash lights on this will be appreciated.
Regards,
Madhu.G

We had problem with barcode printing a few months ago. You need to understand the various barcode technologies SAP uses. You can refer to this consulting note 1557674 to get a better understanding. If you're using a SAP Script forms to print lables it most probably it uses old technology like number 1 or 4 mentioned in the note. In that case your printer itself need to support the barcode characters, you need to upgrade/install the barcode font inside the printer firmware. Most Xerox devices do not come with barcode font so you need to download the font and install it on the printer.
Try implementing this note 1558595 , to see if turns old technology to new technology. If it happens then barcode will become printer independent, meaning the printer doesn't natively have to support barcode fonts.
Go to SE73 look up barcode fonts, then test them through program RSPO0031.

Print tickets on Zebra Z4M Plus

Hi,
We use Oracle Reports Builder 6i (6.0.8.22.0). Is it possible to send reports to a ticket printer? The ticket printer we have is a Zebra Z4M Plus. I know this printer uses ZPL-code; but how can I send ZPL-code from Oracle Reports?
How will this be done?
Thanks a lot,
Lennart de Vos

Hi Lennart,
Create a query with ZPL commands e.g.
SELECT '^XA' Line01,
'^BY2^FS' Line02,
'^CFD,18,10^FS' Line03,
'^FO635,300^FD'||'OF'||'^FS' Line04,
'^FO120,590^FD'||TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')||'^FS' Line05,
'^XZ' Line06
In your layout place the lines in the order you wish them to be interpreted.
F_LINE01
F_LINE02
F_LINE03
F_LINE04
F_LINE05
F_LINE06
You can run your report to the printer.
I would recommend using the generic text printer driver if you are going to be using ZPL.
To check the contents of the file simply redirect the printer to a file (ports tab in the printer properties)
Hope this helps
Andrew.

Problem Printing Labels on Zebra label printers

Hi Every one
(there may be old solution for my problem, if there is, point me
to that)
my environment is oracle 6, windows 2000. server is runnig on
windows NT.
I am generating labels using oracle reports 6 for an application
customised for pharmaceutical company. report has driver report
calls another label generator report. no matter from where i
print the report to zebra S400 label printer, my report builder
crashes. if i run the report from rep file in application, my
application crashes. if i save the report to a pdf file and
print it using acrobat reader, it prints perfectly. if i use any
other application like access, vb etc. they generate label and
print without any problems.
i have the latest windows 2k drivers for the printer. i also
have tried re-install oracle cleint on my pc. the result is
same. applications crash when print using oracle report to label
printer?
has any one come across such a problem? is there a solution for
it?
zebra label printers are pretty much a standard and are being
used in allmost all the client location that my deals with. and
they (printers) number in 1000's. in most of the cases labels
are generated using zpl language in ascii, but why cant oracle
reports print report generated labels to these printers?
zebra has no comments on this, but they demonstrate their
printer capabilities using all other windows based applications
and point back to oracle reports for the problem.
i appreciate any solution, lead, tip to overcome this problem.
thanks and regards
shiv(anand)

hello,
i would strongly suggest, you consult the metalink knwoledge
base and seach for existing problems. if you can not find
anything, contact oracle support services.

Issues with Crystal 2008 Printing to a Zebra Label Printer with SP2

Hi there
We are having issues printing to a Zebra Label Printer using Crystal 2008 SP2.
When you attached a .rpt file to the .NET Application which is accessed via RDP/ICA the reports in Crystal XI worked fine.
Steps we have taken are:
Printing direct from Crystal 2008 Designer to the Zebra Printer works using a Generic Text Driver
Printing direct from Crystal 2008 Designer to the Zebra Printer using a Zebra Universal Print Driver DOES NOT work (we were advised the Universal Print Driver may assist with the issue)
The report when accessed via the .NET Application via RDP/ICA using the Universal Print Driver it doesn't work.
The report when accessed via the .NET Application via RDP/ICA using the Generic Print Driver it doesn't work.
The report when accessed via the .NET Application drectly from Server Console prints fine using Generic Print Driver, but not with RDP/ICA.
Can anyone offer any suggestions to a fix?
Many thanks.

Hello,
I'll look at this tomorrow when I get into the office. An I am moving this to the developer forum.
Thank you

I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for two years. I got a new printer and installed it although I did not remove my old printer from my computer. I used this program and my new printer for quite a few months, but today I deleted my old printer

I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for along time now. When I first used the program I had a different printer than I have now. Although I changed printers I never removed the software from my old one. Now this was never a problem until today. When I choose a printer I still had option to use the old one but always chose my new HP Envy 5530 and Adobe never had a problem printing from that new printer. However today I decided to remove my old printer from my computer and now my Adobe cannot find my new printer. How can I make it find the HP printer?

Try this --
Go to the bottom of the link I gave you, and you will see
click that link and then click the chat button to talk to an Adobe agent

I am unable to print color photos from i photo using a Brother Printer

I am unable to print color photos from i photo using a Brother MFC-6490CW all in one. The photos appear to be in grayscale. I have checked the printer settings, but for some reason I am not able to access the color management on my printer from printer set up. It only gives me the standard option. I have spent hours checking Bother's website and Apple's and I am not able to come up with a valid answer. I know that the color print works. If I print something from the internet of from outlook it will print in color. I know all of my cartridges are in working order, I have cleaned the print head on my Brother, but I am still not able to print photos in color!!!
What puzzles me the most is why I am unable to really access the color management menu on my printer? It just does not come up. I have the option from paper handling to print photos, but this has nothing to do with the quality. I have also tried printing the photo from an Adobe PDF file and I still have the same problem. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you.

In the Print dialogue box click on the little triangle to the right of the name of the printer. That will expand the dialogue box.

How to print a 4.25x5.5 Booklet using 8.5X11 paper

I would like to be able to print a booklet, each page size 4.25x5.5 (of a quarter of a 8.5x11 sheet of paper). There should be 8 pages per page (i.e double sided printing) and the pages should be organized so that the sheets can be folded resulting in a booklet that can be stapled in the middle, on the seam. I could not get ID to do this; the closest I got was 4 pages per sheets meaning half of the sheet was blank. Any suggestions.

How were you setting up the print? I would think that Using Print Booklet and setting it to 4-up perfect bound would do what you want, but you would need to set the signature size to the number of pages in the booklet.
You can also create a new file 4.25 x 11 or 5.5 x 8.5 depending on the orientation, then use Scott Zanelli's script (InDesignSecrets » Blog Archive » Zanelli Releases MultiPageImporter for Importing both PDF and INDD Files) to place the pages from the original file twice so you have two copies of the booklet stacked together. Then run Print Booklet with 2-up Saddle Stitch and cut them apart.

Is it possible to automate Adobe Reader to load files, then set the staple property and location, then print them out? I've seen in .NET 3.0 that there is a Enumeration for Stapling in the System.Printing Namespace. I need to figure out how to automate the printing in adobe but right before it prints, have .NET assign the printer and whether it should be stapled or not.

Which method implementation of Pageable interface should return the page number ?w.r.t. your first question: don't return that number but return page n-1-i when page i is requested; your document will be printed in reverse order. Your class should implement the entire interface and wrap the original Pageable. (for that number n your class can consult the wrapped interface; read the API for the Pageable interface).

How can I print to my HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless Printer from my iPhone 4S which used to work before AirPrint printers were even available? (running Mac Lion OS, all software and HP sw updates are all performed)

How can I print to my HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless Printer from my iPhone 4S which used to work (on prior iPhones) before AirPrint printers were even available? (running Mac Lion OS, all software and HP sw updates are all performed)
I don't get it, I read one post about why would we have to buy an AirPrint Printer when we have used the "print to a wifi printer" just fine in the past? Yes I feel that's exactly what's happening to me now too. I want to print from my iPhone and iPad to my WiFi Printer which is also now connected to my Airport Express WiFi network just fine. No problems.

Very glad you added that bit of information because I see different problems similar to this. I want to share with them what you did and hopefully you not only fixed your specific problem but you can lend some more advice to others with problems like this. Thanks!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
