TSC or ZM400 (Zebra Printer) printing speed?

Dear Folks,
I am using TSC or ZM400 (Zebra Printer) for label printing but I have one issue.
I am printing the sticker and its getting but the speed of printing is very slow . Its creating spool request for evey label.
Even I deleted spool request one after other in user profile but did not get the right speed.
Any body have any idea how to increase printing speed . I am printing bulk of data (1000 sticker).
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
Do you use any graphics or true type fonts in your form that creates the spool? if you use graphics, ensure that the flag "Resides in the Printer Memory" is set for the graphic in transaction SE78. Also try to avoid true type fonts as this increases the size of the spool transferred from SAP to the printer greatly.
If you want to ensure that spools are appeded, you need to ensure that parameters 'New Spool Request' and ''Completed' are not set as per SAP note #85318.
For Sapscript forms, when your application calls the function module OPEN_FORM, the parameters the parameters ITCPO-TDNEWID and ITCPO-TDFINAL should not be filled when calling function module OPEN_FORM. Then the spools should be appended.

Aidan

Increase print rate, print speed zebra printer (zpl)

Hello,
first I start with release info:
SAP system N22 (only ABAP system), which calls Adobe Form processing
Windows 2008 SP1
Oracle 11
SAP ECC 6.0
SAPKB70103
SAPKH60403
SAP ADS system AD0 (only Java system):
Windows 2003 SP2
Oracle 10
SAP Netweaver 7.0 Java with Enhancement Package 1
Versioninformation given by report FP_PDF_TEST_00: 802.20090618120017.572641
We use a ordinary Zebra printer with internal print server (ZM400-200E-0100T).
In N22 there is an output device defined with device type "AZPL203 : ZPL203 for pdf documents only".
Printing works but print speed/rate is always lowest (2 Inch/s) and I find no SAP-way changing it. (Why SAP does not give maxmimum speed in zpl?)
Lowest speed in ZPL-code is represented by ^PRA . I find this string:
- in spool files on N22 (example: SPOOL0000014926_00001.zpl)
- in xdc file on AD0: E:\usr\sap\AD0\SYS\global\AdobeDocumentServices\lib\zpl203.xdc, line: "<seq id="startDoc">XA
PRALH0,3
XZ
</seq>"
Changing the string in that file does not work. Creating a complete new output device in N22 with new xdc file zzpl203.xdc does not work too.
Another way of changing print speed is described in the documentation "SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe, customizing Printing Workflows, (SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SPS13 or higher), Document Version 2.0 - August 2007". In chapter 4.3 "Changing the print speed setting" is described a job profile named ZPLSettings.xml, which should be used. In that file I do not find printRate.
Who can help?
Kind Regards

Hi Ale,
You dont need a Zebra bar one tool for printing graphics from smartforms. You need to have propers drivers and proper settings in place. Take a look at the OSS notes 750772 - Information on the ZPL-II printer driver for SmartForms
Check the point 5 in the above oss notes:
5) Support of bitmap graphics
Colored bitmap graphics from SmartForms are changed to black and white when you print from the LZPL printer driver. If the picture quality is affected by this conversion, change the graphic to B/W with a graphics program (such as PaintShop Pro), and import it to SmartForms as as a black and white graphic. Monochrome graphics are not converted by the driver. However, all graphics may be justified to adjust the size of the graphic to the printer resolution (203, 300 or 600 dpi).
During the import to SmartForms, you have the option to flag a bitmap as "resident". In this case, the LZPL printer driver saves the graphic in the RAM of the printer when it first occurs (Device "R:" of the zebra printer). At the end of the spool request, the driver deletes the graphic again from the printer's RAM, so that no more memory remains occupied.
Resident graphics during label printing from SmartForms are therefore only faster if more than one label is printed within a spool request, and the resident graphic is repeated on each label.
I hope this info helps.

Unable to get the print from the zebra printer

hi,
i have copied a SAP standard form into a Zform. i have made changes to the Zform depending on my requirement(i.e. i have added more fields and also barcodes). I did not make any changes to the driver program since i copied the standard layout. After making changes to the Zform when i check the print preview everything seems to be fine. But when i try to print the Zform from a zebra printer it does not get printed. But it says printing is completed and also a spool request is created but the print never comes

Hi Ambarish,
There will be an option to disable and enable the print icon for a particular sap screen . SAP Screen has been designed as per business requirement only . You may reach out to your functional team or developer team to assign the required output type and form which can enable the icon .
Also check whether you have required authorization to print from SAP
I hope so it will help you

Communication problem with Zebra printer

Post Author: rafu
CA Forum: .NET
Hi,I'm trying to write bidirectional communication with Zebra printer - e.g. send data to print and receive data read from tags. To send data it's possible to use WritePrinter methods described in internet, however I don't know how to get it?? In producer's manuals there is only example to printer connected by LPT1, my uses usb.Does anyone have any ideas??? Help please!rafu

I would look at XP's port configuration for the printer and then try and use the same protocol on the Mac. If XP is showing it as RAW Port 9100, then that is shown as HP jet Direct - Socket on the Mac. The only issue then is whether the OS X driver is available in the Lexmark list. Sometimes the provided OS X driver is only for direct USB connections, so you have to look at using an alternate driver, such as those offered by Gutenprint.

A question on different zebra printer dpi printing - sapscript

Hello,
We have an existing sapsript (with ZPL code) to print label via a zebra printer (300dpi). There is a requirement to print
the same label on new device zebra QL 320 plus(wireless printer, 203 dpi).
Please advise how to make use of the existing sapscript to print to the wireless device without creating another sapscript(with different dpi).

Label printing on ZEBRA printer TLP2844 with smartform

Hi Gurus,
Requirement:
Print label on Zebra printer with smartform
1. i have created a smartform with desired layout
2. and trying to print on Zebra printer
Questions:
1. smartform is not printing on zebra printer
2. suggest me if there are any ways to print smartform on zebra printer
3. does it requires any native programming language for printing labels on zebra printer
Best Regards,
Krishna

hi Krishna,
This printer does not support ZPL2 so I thnk you cnnot use the device types like LZEB2. It should work to print via windows and a device type like SAPWIN or SWINCF.

Slow down printing speed for Smart Forms

Hi,
Is there any command (etc.) to slow down the printing speed of an Hp laserjet when printing a smart forms?
I need that because when I print that smart form to fast I run into print out quality problems.
Many Thanks

hi,
take print out in a dot matrix printer instead of your laser printer without changing any settings.
Coz i tried this once, i was successfull. But, the printout will be very slow.

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.

UPS Maxicode in Adobe Forms - non-zebra printer

Hey guys,
I have a problem regarding printing an UPS Maxicode on a regular printer (HP Laserjet P3015) in Adobe Forms: It just won't print.
I'm using the "UPS Maxicode" object in the "barcode" library (LCD ES3, Version 10.4). After some research, I found this guide:
UPS maxicode on SAP Adobe forms - Contributor Corner - SCN Wiki
The scripting described there works great for printing the UPS Maxicode on a zebra printer - but the non-zebra printer scripting doesn't work for me.
There isn't much to find about this on google, so I hope you guys can help me. I experimented with printers, device types (i.e. PDF1) and such, but the result remains the same. What else can I try? Am I missing something?
Thanks for your time / help,
Chris

You can find some information about it in this document:
[http://www.tec-it.com/download/PDF/TBarCode6_SAPwin_Manual_EN.pdf]
See chapter 12, see also chapters: 6, 7, 8 and 11.
good luck

Print Speeds Acrobat 9

Anyone out there seeing some truly horrible print speeds on Acrobat 9 with OS X 10.6.3?
Here is the situation:
PDF 163mb in size - 196 pages
Go to print, choose multiple pages, choose 6 pages per sheet
Change page size to tabloid
go to print
PIZZA (Color Wheel of Death)
I know the application is doing something, because it is using 114% of my CPU (I have four of them... so its ok)
Now...
Take the PDF to a PC
Open it and do the same thing...
Printing is 4 bazillion times faster than on the mac. Matter of fact the mac is still pinwheeling while the PC has passed the print job on to the printer and is looking at me saying "Got anything else you need me to do?" Acrobat on the Mac, is still having seizures.
Any ideas? (telling me to switch the entire company to PC won't do. The creatives will revolt and the last time they did it wasn't pretty.)
Thanks for any insights that you can give me.

This is a coding problem of the website. It has nothing to do with your computer. Download the pdfs (right-click on the url), it will download to your computer and you can print it out yourself.

Problem with text printing on ZEBRA printer

Hi all,
I created a label in adobe forms to print output in ZEBRA140xi series printer. In the label I am printing Delivery number,storage bin,material number,delivery date and other details along with barcodes.
I created a header to display company name. In header I kept solid black color as background and company name in white color in foreground with Arial 8 font.
when I print the label all runtime values are printed but the header with black background only printing. The white text on the black background is not printing.
Kindly tell me what I should do to print white color text on black background in ZEBRA printer?
Note: the print is working fine with laser printer problem comes when printed on ZEBRA printer.

Printing chinese characters on a Zebra printer using Adobe Interactive Form

Hello,
We have created an Adobe Interactive Forms in SAP with some words in English and another one in simplified chinese. We have defined a Zebra printer in SPAD with the AZPL203 driver.
When we print the form in the zebra printer some of the chinese characters are printed and some of them no.
Has anyone faced the same problem?
Thanks a lot
Miquel A. Vergara

Hi,
Welcome you post on the forum.
However, this is not the right forum for you. It is only for SAP Business One user. Please search entire forums first to find which one is more proper.
However, this issue may not be related to SAP at all. Search on the web would be better.

Problem with printing barcodes to a Zebra printer via Smartform

Hi
I am trying to create a printed label from smartforms, being directed to a zebra printer. The label must include a barcode.
Via oss notes 750002 and 750772 I have imported the LZEB2 device type.
In SE73 I have created a system bar code on the new technology.
In the smart form style, I create a character type with this barcode font.
The barcode prints okay and can be read when it has up to 10 characters.
However we need a long bar code of appoximately 22 characters.
I can find no supported barcode type which will let me write a barcode of this length
The max length in the smartform style for the barcode format is always coming up as 50mm which is too short.
I have tried with using a printer bar code prefix and suffix with the native zebra ZPI-II commands, attaching to command nodes on either side of the text node in the smart form, But this does not seem to work.
Any advice ?
Thanks

sounds like the variable containing the barcode data is too short...is it at least 22 characters long?

Rotation of label using smartforms by 90 deg using zebra printer

Hi,
I am facing one problem using smartforms for label printing. Since the zebra printer which is being used requires 90 deg rotation of form for the normal smartform design. I have even tried using ZPL commands by using ^FWR command in the window attributes but the text within that window only gets rotated and each line gets overwritten on one another. Please let me know if it s possible to rotate the complete form in smartform for label printing using zebra printer.
Thanks and Regards
