Remote Zebra (label) printer

Once connected to a VPN (manually as you mention), it is essentially "local" (the PC) and therefore the printer should be able to be shared/mapped as such.
Printers don't require IP's to be shared on a network.... but the PC will have to have an IP and remain on.

This is a continuation of another unresolved issue that we have in a remote warehouse. I'm not much of a printer guy, and need some advice on this -Backstory-We previously had a vpn tunnel to a remote warehouse, and the label printer connected to the network (network printer // connection). The printer was assigned a static IP on the subnet of our primary domain via the VPN tunnel. We have a PC inside their network with logmein, so I can access it directly to gain access to the router, etc. Note that this is not a company location, but a partner who ships product on our behalf, which is why we generate the labels from our main office- we set up the entire shipment, all they do is pack it and slap the label we print onto the box. We're not looking to add work for them.Due to the other issue with bandwidth issues, the primary router was...

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

Zebra Label Printing - DPI issue.

Hi Guru's,
I have a script for Zebra label printing. its an old script working fine. Now the issue is:
The above script is printing labels for 200 dpi printers as per the requirement.
Now one of the Markets have purchased 300 dpi printer. When the print the same label using the new printer using the script, they are getting the Label compressed.(i.e.. the Script is now much smaller and aligned to the left top corner, no data is missing but the Lettering is compressed and not occupying the total space alloted on the label).
I have chcked the manual for Zebra label printers, but could not solve my issue. Can any one of u help me. Thank you.
Here is extract of script used for initialisg the label:
/:   NEW-PAGE
/    ^XA
/    ^PW1200
/    DFI128FS
/    ^PRC
/    LH0,0FS
/    ^LL1500
/    ^LT12
/    ^MD0
/    ^MNY
/    CW1,B:CGTRI_NCW2,B:CGTRI_ICW3,B:CGTRI_BCW4,B:CGTRI_J^CW5
=    ,B:CGTRCO_NCW6,B:CGTRCO_ICW7,B:CGTRCO_J
/    LH0,0FS
Can anyone of you check this code & tell me where exactly the 'DPI' issue is handled in the script. Also any additions to the above script to acheive the solution....
regards,
Chaitanya L

Hi Balakrishnachaitanya,
i've made just a couple of sapscript whit the ZPL language, and i dont't think that you can set the DPI of print,
maybe you have to set the printer' settings.

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,

How do we enable cutter option in the SAP Script for Zebra Label Printer

Hi Gurus,
We use Zebra Label(ZM400) printers to print the material documents(SAP Script). Could someone please tell me how do we enable the cutter option in the Zebra printer for the SAP Script?
Your vaulable answers will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Manoj.

Hi Manoj,
In Script you dont want to add any logic for Label Cutter, It should be in the Zebra printer settings if the printing is over it should cut the paper. If the print area is predefined for your material label then you can make use of standard label papers (Like 2"x4", 3"x4"....)

Zebra label printing with Smartforms

Hi
I am currently using smartforms to print to Zebra printers. the fields are printing on Portrait format, i am not able to get them to print Landscape. I used the documented Command Node in Smartforms -
Attribute Name: S_LZPL_SETUP
Attribute Value: '^FWR'
this is still not working for me...am i doing something wrong in this Command line?
Documentation says i can only use Portrait in smartforms because Zebras doesn't understand Landscape...documentation offers the above workaround, but it doesnt seem to work for me...has it work for any of you?

Hello again,
currently i have some smartforms printing to zebra printers, and i did it, using BARONE for ZPL generation.
it's exactly the same thing, you create a main window, and in the text editor toy click "TxtEditor" just above the "Check" buttonm and you pass to the sapscript tradicional editor. In there copy adn paste the ZPL code.
Define the parameters in the "Form interface" and i'ts done.
this way you will be able to resolve your problem, it's up to you to use (or not) the barone for Smartforms.

I need to change the page setup to an unusual size for label printing

Hello. I'm trying to print a label that is 2" wide x 1-1/2 high. Firefox defaults to 8-1/2" x 11" or A4 page size and I've been unable to figure out how to change the default size to 2" x 1-1/2".
I've cleared all the margins to zero and removed all header and footer information. But how do I change the size to 2" wide x 1-1/2" high?
When I print, it will print the label correctly. However, it spits out 11" of labels instead of stopping at 1-1/2"
The printer is set up to accept the size (it's a Zebra label printer), but Firefox appears to be sending a page size that is different.
Any help here would be most appreciated.
Thank you

Thanks for your answer. Instead of formatting through FireFox, I had to go in and format it via the printer. Duh! Feel stupid not doing this first. If any one else has this problem, I was able to set it up on the printer by going to Printers > Printer Properties > Printer Preferences and set it up. Good luck and thank you for your reply.

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....
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/68/4a0d5b74110d44b1b88d9b6aa1315b/frameset.htm
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.

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

Label Print on Zebra

Hi Gurus,
I am changing one output from normal A4 printer to Zebra printer which is now printed on top of A4 size. This paper is cut and pasted by user. I have set up zebra printer. ABAP guy has made the changes. From his prospective, all changes are done (when he made some changes the label is rotated 180 degree). But, the print is still not coming right. It is still in portriat and only left topmost part in printed on label. The oriantation of label is not changed from portrait to lanscape. Has anyone come accross this issue earlier? How to resolve this issue to change orientation to 90 degree.
Thanks in advance

BarTender for Zebra Barcode Label printing using Smartform

HI Experts,
Does anyone know how to use BarTender 7.10 software to create barcode labels for Zebra printer?
I have to include a jpg Logo into the Label using BarTender.
But when I test using the Zebra printer - the logo/picture won't print out.
Any idea?
Thank You.
Best Regards,
CW

Hi There,
I had problems with using Bartender when I tried to print a logo onto my labels, but I contacted a [labelling company |www.iidsolutions.net] who specialise in barcode label printing and the bartender software, they sorted out my problem but then after a chat with them I decided it would be easier to get them to print the labels for me as I had loads of changes and they were quite cheap. See if they can help you. :~)
Good luck.

Labell printer printing Issue

Hi ,
I am facing issue on the printing with labell printer. The Labell printer is configured as remote printer >When we give print in windows queue it print fine in Windows. And When we create print queue in HP Unix , the printer is not working (no print from the printer).Please suggest me what need to be done that labell printer can print in HP Unix in romote mode (remote printer).
The labell printer is ZEBRA printer.
Please help me out for resolving this issue ASAP .
Thanks and Regards
Brijesh Prasad

Hi
If you want to print from unix server using SAP, then the methods are
you need to maintain the system IP from where you are giving the print and the printer host name
for ex:-
10.12.90.0 <printername>
from spad check whether you have configure using os level.

Device type to be used for Zebra 220XiIII Printer

Hello All,
We are printing labels from SAP to the printer Zebra 220XiIII Printer using Adobe Print forms technology. When configuring the printer, we used the device type as PDF1. The print was fine in terms of data display and positioning of the text and barcodes but the issue is that it takes 30secs. to print each label. This was not acceptable as it is creating delays in Shipment.
To address the issue we changed the device type to LZEB3. The print was fast i.e., in 20 seconds the printer was able to print 5 labels but the font on the label is increased automatically because of which the data on the label is truncated.
Does any one have any ideas on what is the device type to be used and is there any specific font to be used?
Please note that we desinged the forms using ADOBE FORMS TECHNOLOGY. There are many notes in Service market place which are specific to Smart forms. Please come up with your ideas.
Regards,
Praveen T

Hi Florian,
Thank you for your response. We were able to fix the issue by changing the Device type to LZEB2.
For some reason YZB200, YZB300 and other device types which we found in the device type wizard did not work in our case. We did not investigate the reason as LZEB2 worked and we have time crunch
