Sapscript landscape label printing

I have a new request for a 100 MM X 300 MM label to be printed in landscape for process orders. All our labels in the past have been in portrait format. I went into SPAD and created a new Z format type for the size and then attached that to a Z device type. The sapscript form has landscape defined in the basic settings and when I look at it in form painter it is landscape. But when it prints it is in portrait. I can't find the subject in my sapscript book. Does anyone know what I am missing in this quest?
Thank you.
Susan

Hi Susan,
As per the link http://www.printronix.com/products/default.aspx?id=992 -. User manual, this printer supports PGL emulation. Perhaps one of the device types listed in the following note like YPTT4203 will work:

Label printing issues in Sapscript

We are struggling with building a new label for a finished good. On previous labels we used barcode BC_CD39. This new label requires a mix of same barcode and 2D barcode. One of the issues is BC_CD39 is it is too big at 13mm. So we want to use CD39__00 which is 5mm. We have gone into SPAD and SE73 and we think we have this set up to work on the two printers involved. We have also followed instructions for 2D in 197177 for adding new small font. We also have a logo for printing. When I print the printout does not have the smaller barcode, any text in smaller font and the logo is missing. I went into the spooler yesterday and these prints are getting an error (unknown print control should be output) that is talked about in note 17559. And when I look at the print preview I have a logo and different size fonts and smaller barcodes showing- basically all the stuff that is missing from the actual print. Has anyone else run into this and how have you resolved this? I am not sure what the spooler does not like. We are using a Printronix T5000e series printer.
The spooler error reads: character converter active when first problem occurred
Data was saved with character set 1100
Data will be converted to character set 9010 (synt = 9010)
and then it gives the OTF error mentioned above.
Our latest attempt is downloading tru fonts and getting them into the printer. Still no success and now the labels are not even printing.
Thanks for any help.
Susan

We continue with not being able to print this label correctly. If I do a screen shot I can see I have varying fonts on the label. But it completely ignores the various fonts on printing.
Our pirnter is a Printronix label printer.
My form is defined as landscape.
I get a spool error when printing that character set 1100 is being converted to character set 9010, which is custom for Printronix.
If we print on legal form vs the label form it prints fine.
We have tried different print drivers but nothng seems to get these fonts out.
We are using 5MM 3by9 barcodes.
This product is about to 'go live' and we really want to print this from SAP vs an external label software program. If we use an external label program separate from SAP it can print perfectly on same label printer.
We welcome any suggestions.

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?

Problem in continuous Material Label Printing

Hi Experts,
          I am using SAP Script for Material Label Printing and Dot-matirx printer for printing.
          There are 6 labels getting printed on a Page. There is no problem in printing but what happens,
          whenever there is a new material getting printed, it skips the current page and resumes the
          printing from new page.
          Example. there are 8 labels for a Material-1 and 3 labels for Material-2. 6 labels for
          Material-1 would print on 1st Page, the rest 2 would print on 2nd page. Now the 3 remaining
          labels for Material-2 are getting printed on 3rd page which should get printed on 2nd Page itself
          as there is space for 4 more labels on 2nd page.
          Please help me out on this.
Regards,
Ravi.

Hi ,
every material there will be started an new sapscript (probably)
You will have to change your program that way that all materials and belonging data comes into 1 internal tab.
If you print this tab in 1 big loop (instead of a nested loop for everymaterial) everything will go fine.

Label Printing

Hi all,
i have created a label using barone software and used it in sapcript.now
how do i use the text elements and control the number of labels to be printed from printprogram.

Hi
To create labels in SAPSCRIPT, you will have to define multiple MAIN WINDOWS in the Page Window.. try the following steps..
Main windows in page windows allow you to format text in multiple columns. Define an area in the page window, in which to position the main windows.
1. Create a page window and assign it to a page.
2. Choose Edit --> Main windows.
A dialog box appears.
3. Enter values in the fields Area width and Area height in accordance with the input guidelines for main windows.
4. Enter values in the fields Spacing and Number in the Horizontal group if you want to use multiple columns. You can ignore the fields in the Vertical group.
5. Determine how many columns and line areas are required for label printing. Then enter the corresponding values in the fields in the Horizontal and Vertical groups.

Barcode Label Printing

Dear Experts,
is it possible to print barcodes on labels using the SAPSprint service ?
The labels are defined as Sapscripts and Smartforms.
Thanks a lot for any help.
Regards,
Marc
Edited by: Marc Reinhardt on Jan 6, 2009 2:53 PM
One more remark: Is it necessary to use an external BARCODE.DLL for barcode generation or can it be done by the label printer as well ?

Hello Pranay,
I did some research on that SAP note "25344 - Interface SAPSprint (SAPFprint) Barcode DLL (details)" states the following:
u201EAn external barcode DLL is to be added to the SAPSprint or SAPFprint.u201C
u201EThe SAPSprint or SAPFprint delegates the task of printing barcodes to an external DLL. SAP does not provide a barcode DLL. The DLL must meet certain requirements so that it can be used.u201C
     u201Eu2026u201C
     u201EThe following list is of suppliers known to us that manufacturer compatible barcode DLL:
     1) e-bizco.com GmbH, Up'n Hoff 1, D-22927 Großhansdorf, Germany
     2) TEC-IT Datenverarbeitung GmbH, Wagnerstr. 6, A-4400 Steyr, Austria
     3) MW6 Technologies, Inc.u201C
This means to me that if we print barcodes with SAPSprint we must have this barcode.dll even if the printer would be able to interpret it.
Cheers,
Marc

Contacts and Brother QL-580N Label Printer

Hi,
I'm trying to get Contacts app in Mountain Lion (previously known as Address Book) to print natively to a Brother QL-580N printer. By 'natively' I mean without having to install Brother's GUI application.
At the time that I added the printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan, Mountain Lion reached out and downloaded QL-580n CUPS drivers nicely.
I can select QL-580N as the printer, with CUPS driver, and send it print jobs.
What I can't do is figure out how to format it for 1.1" X 3.5" labels (Brother address labels DK-1201) in Contacts app.
In Print Dialog box > Contacts > Size I can choose 1.1" by 3.5" but it prints portrait instead of landscape, printing only part of the address across the middle of the label.
If there was a landscape option it would be easy... am I missing something?
Thanks,
b.

Ok... I got there, kinda.
I found that the 'envelopes' style has a landscape/portrait option.
With some help from this post: Re: Address Book label printing
I was able to prit a label directly from Contacts.
Be very careful of the Basic > Length setting. It defaults to 11 inches. This will waste a LOT of tape if you don't remember to set it to something appropriate. Unfortunately you need to do this each time; saving as a preset does not save this option

Labels Printing Row Wise

Hi experts,
can some body tell me how can i print ssrs lables row by row rather then column by column
what i mean is i have a ssrs label report having 5 columns whose width is 1.25x1.25 inches
now when i have to print 7 Labels it prints them in 1st column below on another
rather i want it to print side by side that is in 1st row 5
in 2nd row 2 out of all 7
can some body please help me how this could be done

Hi Sushil,
Per my understanding that you have design an label print report with 5 columns and now when you increase to 7 columns the extra 2 columns will break to the second page but not display together with the first 5 columns, right?
Currently, it is not support to create label priint report row by row, as
PrajapatiNeha mentioned you can consider add page break to do the row to row.
In your scenario, I suggest you to change the page size from "Portrait" to "Landscape" to increase the width, thus you may keep the 7 columns in the same page.
If I have some misunderstanding, please feel free to ask.

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.

Label printer recommendation?

Our small business needs a label printer so we can print professional looking labels on client files. We’re not high volume, maybe 8-10 a day, but they need to print relatively quickly and look nice and be easy to use and, of course, Mac compatible. Right now looking at some of the Dymo line. Wondered if anyone had any recommendations.

I'm jealous! When I go to print to my Brother QL-570 from FileMaker Pro 9, the print job gets "stopped" in the print queue. I've tried everything from margin settings in the layout, creating a custom size page in Page Setup, changing the orientation from landscape to portrait. I've even changed the layout from 2.90 by 8.89 cm to 8.89 by 2.90 cm and rotated the fields and printed in landscape mode. There's just way too many variables. Are my margins too small? What's going on? Is it FileMaker? Is the printer? I've clicked on the Utility icon in the Brother's print menu and it says: The roll size in incorrect. Media Size: 1-1/7" x 3-1/2" Description: The status after the last printing operation is displayed. (This may differ from the current printer status.) Note: the inches dimensions here convert to 2.90 x 8.89 cm.
Why can't I just print a simple label from FileMaker? I think I need a step by step procedure to ensure I haven't missed anything.

Label Printing Using Address Book - How can I Print multiple labels of the same name?

Label Printing Using Address Book - How can I Print multiple labels of the same name?

I used to be able to print multiple copies of the same picture on one page using iphoto. There was a customise button when you went through to print and it was there somewhere. I can't see it anymore - maybe since an upgrade.
It's gone. But as a work-around, duplicate your photo (⌘D) to create as many versions as you want copies and select all at once. Then use the "Custom" print layout and set the photo size you want.
After printing, trash the added versions.

Primera LX 400 Label Printer No Longer Working with Mountain Lion

Hi-
I upgraded my OS to Mountain Lion and most everything works OK except my Primera LX400 label printer. The error message I get when trying to install the driver is "Software for this printer isn't available from Apple. Contact the printer's manufacturer for the latest software."
I contacted Primera but I haven't received an answer yet. Anyone else solve this problem with Mountain Lion and Primera Printers?
For those that depend on the Primera printers, you might want to wait before upgrading.

For those with the same problem, Primera says they will have new drivers up 7/31/12:
http://www.primera.com/primera_printer_drivers.html
I decided to check a day early (7/30/12) and the driver for my LX400 is up and I was able to install and use it successfully.

Label Printing issues on Crystal Reports Server

I built a label that prints off beautifully on my local machine with Crystal XI installed. However, when I post the label to the reports server, and a user tries to print it off, it prints off two blank labels behind each good label. I have racked my brain on this for days. The printer settings are identical to my local machine. Any idea what might be causing this?

I think the following information might help you
Symptom
A label report was viewed over the web using the Web Component Server, and printed on a label maker printer DYMO 330. The labels were being resized to 8 1/2 x 11 instead of printing the size of the label. Even after selecting the correct size, the labels print one per page, followed by 3 blank labels.
When printing was done through a distributed report or the report designer, the labels printed to the correct size and only printed one label with no blank labels.
What is causing the label report to print incorrectly when printed from the web viewer?
Resolution
Steps to Resolve
1. Open the report in the Crystal Reports 8 designer on the web server.
2. Click on 'File' then click 'Printer Setup'. If a printer is already selected then set it to 'No Printer', click 'OK', then save the report.
3. Click on 'File' then click 'Printer Setup' again. Select the default printer and clear the 'Default Properties' checkbox.
4. Click 'OK' and save the report.
5. Click on Start > Settings > Control Panel > Services and double click 'Seagate Page Server' service. Set this service to run under an 'Administrator' account.
6. Stop and restart the service, and close down all browsers.
The label reports now will print successfully over the web.
Background
Incorrect printing from a web viewer can have several causes, including:
· The report is designed with a designated printer, but the encapsulated page format (EPF) files are being created in 'No Printer' mode.
· The server does not have access to the printer.
· A valid printer is not saved with the report on the server.
· The printer driver is not installed on the server.

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,
Stefan
