UPC-A Barcode without human readable numbers underneath

Hello ,
I have a lifecycle designer 8.1 on windows 7 machine, my requirement is to place the UPC-A barcode without the human readable number underneath the bars and with the interspacing between the bars as 0.020.
Is the above requirement feasible and possible, please provide your inputs .
Thanks in advance.
Pooja

Hi Pooja, I've done a barcode project before so here's what I know about this topic.
First about the human readable text. This is mandatory according to the GS1 General Specification, so most UPC-A barcode generator tend to automatically add the text to create valid barcode image. If you really need to get rid of it, you might need to process the barcode image further after it have been created. I used this UPC-A creator, if you like you can check it out.
As for the interspacing between the bars, each symbol character consists of two bars and two spaces, each of 1, 2, 3 or 4 modules in width. In other words, find any UPC-A barcode, and you will see it's composed of bars and spaces with four different widths. Most barcode generator can allow you to adjust module width, i.e. the narrowest bar / space. So you can't set each space to 0.020, as they are not equal to each other in the beginning.
Hope this will help. If you there's anything more you need to know, I'd be glad to help.
Regards,
Catherine

  • Print the UPC-A Barcode on the ZEBRA S4M printer

    Hi,
    We are using ZEBRA S4M printer and we have to print UPC-A Barcode from the smartform.
    There is not Barcode character defined to it. How to print the barcode without barcode character format on the label.
    Rest all the fields of the label are printing correctly on the label.

    Hi Gnana,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Currently there is no font defined in our SAP system which supports UPC-A barcode format.
    To defne new barcode in SE73, it requires to implement the necessary steps like
    1. having the necessary dll files - which may be supplied by any third party vendor.
    2. And the required device types.
    If the the above information is available, the new barcode can be created in SAP.
    But i dont have sufficient information whether the above approach has to be followed, as UPC-A is the Universal Product Code and needs to be printed to the confirmed guidelines.
    I also know that EAN13 is the superset of UPC-A and EAN13 barcode is supported by SAP ECC6.0. I tried to print using EAN13 but the values that i read using barcode reader didnot match the with values that i provide.
    EAN13 is 13 character barcode whereas UPC-A supports only 12 character.
    Please suggest if any suitable solution.

  • Human Readable Backup of E1550?

    I have a E1550 with a corrupt config that is acting very wonky lately (shows wrong info in some of the settings and doesn't always save changes).  Since it may be the config that is at issue, I don't want to do a backup/resote, rather I plan to do a full factory reset and manully type everything back in.
    What would be nice is, creating a text based, human readable printout of the config for reference so that I don't have to manually type it all twice (once to save it, once for reentry).  PS3 ports, MAC filters, etc. have several entries, and they way the pages are designed it doesn't allow for easy, whole entry, cut and paste.
    Any suggestions?
    Note:  I am using web based only and would rather not install the Cisco Connect software.  That said, if it is the (only) solution, I will.

    Sorry, but I don't know what "Print Screen function" means.  I am only aware of it taking a screen shot, which would take longer and be more of a headache to do that for each tab (twice on some, since me laptop resolution is set pretty big) than to just manually type everything into a text file.
    I just find it odd that I cannot print out (to text) a full, current config...upgrading to newer model, replacing with another brand, changing device styles (to a cable modem device, for instance) ,etc...all would require copying all the settings without being able to use the Backup Config option built in.  That is something even my printer can do.  Well, I can guarantee one thing...I'll find out if any competing devices can do so before I buy another AP.

  • How to make previous version documents(CS1 and CS3) without extension  readable in InDesign CS5

    I have some previous version documents of CS1 and CS3  on Mac  which have been saved without any extension e.g 300, CS3doc etc.
    When I open such documents in InDesign CS5 they appear to be unreadable .  Only on  selecting 'All documents' filter  I am able to open those documents.
    I want to make all such documents (which are without extension) readable with 'All Readable Documents ' also .
    How I can do that, please  help me !!!!!

    The first thing I'd do is make sure the issue is really what I suspect it is - i.e. I suspect your extension-less documents don't have the proper type and creator.
    If you fire up a Terminal window, you should be able to use the GetFileInfo command to check one of the files:
    Assume 'sampleFile' is sitting on your desktop, you'd do
    GetFileInfo ~/Desktop/sampleFile
    (not sure when/whether GetFileInfo is installed on a Mac - I think it used to be part of Apple's developer tools, but on my Snow Leopard it resides in /usr/bin)
    Check what it says for 'type' and 'creator'.
    If these are not correct, we've confirmed that that's the reason why they don't show up in your file dialog.
    If the issue is type/creator related, I can think of the following options:
    a) Change your code to accept ANY file type/extension - I suspect this would work (not tested!):
    openFileDialog->AddType( '????' );
    If memory serves right, '????' should be accepted as a wildcard.
    b) correct the file types BEFORE they are viewed in the File Dialog - for example, if these files are in a very specific folder somewhere, you might be able to scan the folder, and correct their type and creator (e.g. iterate through all extensionless files in folder 'xyz' and change their type and creator). A lot depends on how those files get there, and whether they are tied to a specific folder or not - are they 'old' files, or are they being generated in some workflow? If they're all over a user's system or all over a file server, such pre-scanning and cleaning up file types approach will be a no-go.

  • How do I add page numbers to my document without the page numbers automatically changing. I do not want the page numbers the software automatically places into my document.

    How do I add page numbers to my document without the page numbers automatically changing? The title page is blank, I can type in 1 on the 1st typed page, but the #1 automatically goes into the next page and will not change.

    Click at bottom of the first page:
    Menu > Insert > Section break
    Click somewhere in the 2nd page (not the header/footer)
    Inspector > Layout > Section > Page Numbers > Start at 1 > Configuration > uncheck use previous headers and footers
    Click into the header or footer of the second page:
    Menu > Insert > Auto Page Numbers…
    If there is anything in the header or footer on the first page that you don't want just select it and delete it.
    If you really wanted to manual place page numbers on each page you will have to use a section break between each and every page. I can't imagine that would be useful.

  • Convert from epoch timestamp to human readable date

    Hi everybody,
         I want to retrieve a human readable date from an fpga target of a sbRIO9636 ,so what is the function which can convert an epoch timestamp to a human readable date ? 
    (Noting that i need to retrieve the second,minute,hour,day,month,year... from the fpga target of this device)
    Thanks

    I have a program which retrieve the current time of windows (with the Get Date/Time in Seconds and Seconds to Date/time functions) and calculate the julian day parameter by using the second,minute,hour,day,month and year wich are displayed on the elements of the Unbundle By Name function (connected in the output of Seconds to Date/time function).
    This program works within windows and real time but I can't run it in the chassis of the sbRIO (errors displayed that these functions above aren't supported in the current target)
    Can i use another method to solve this problem.
    (See the front panel of this program in the following attached file)

  • Converting CLLocation to a human-readable place name string

    In a text-based application I want to enable a simple geotagging feature. Is there a way to convert a CLLocation latitude-longitude information into an actual place name, like "New York, NY", "Vancouver, B.C., Canada", "Birmingham, England" etc.? It doesn't need to be terribly precise, if it can recognize all towns/cities of more than 100-200K people I will be happy. On the same subject, since I'm new to the whole geotagging/GPS thing (I'm developing on a Touch and have never used a GPS device), what are some other developers doing with regards to presenting location information in a human-readable format? Just knowing the longitude/lattitude seems rather uninspiring to me.

    You can use Google Maps Reverse Geocoding service.
    http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/services.html#ReverseGeocoding
    It should be easy to wrap these js functions into Objective-C with -stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:
    I know there is also a pure OBJC Google API framework but I don't know if it includes this.

  • Transform XML-String to human readable XML-File

    I need to transform a XML-String as coming from a simple transformation into a human readable XML-File. That means with linebreaks and logical indenting, each line not longer than n charactors.
    Example:
    <one><two>text</two><three><four>text</four></three></one>
    into
    <one>
      <two>text</two>
      <three>
        <four>text</four>
      </three>
    </one>

    I wrote a method that will do this, but the method can not handle all kinds of XML-strings, but it works with most simple XML-Strings:
    METHOD xml_str2table.
    *** Importing
    **    I_XMLSTRING type csequence
    *** Returning
    ***   e_tab_XMLtab type table of string.        
      DATA l_cnt_length TYPE i.
      l_cnt_length = STRLEN( i_xmlstring ).
      DATA l_cnt_index TYPE i.
      DATA l_xmlline TYPE string.
      DATA l_oldchar TYPE c.
      DATA l_char TYPE c.
      DATA l_nextchar TYPE c.
      DATA l_indent TYPE i.
      DO l_cnt_length TIMES.
        l_cnt_index = sy-index - 1.
        l_char = i_xmlstring+l_cnt_index(1).
        IF sy-index < l_cnt_length.
          l_nextchar = i_xmlstring+sy-index(1).
        ENDIF.
        IF  l_char <> cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline.
          IF ( l_char = '<' AND l_nextchar = '/' ) OR
             ( l_char = '/' AND l_nextchar = '>' ).
            l_indent = l_indent - 1.
            IF l_indent < 0.
              l_indent = 0.
            ENDIF.
          ENDIF.
          IF l_char = '<' AND l_oldchar = '>'.
            APPEND l_xmlline TO e_tab_xmltab.
    *      write: / l_xmlline.
            CLEAR l_xmlline.
            DO l_indent TIMES.
              CONCATENATE space space l_xmlline INTO l_xmlline SEPARATED BY space.
            ENDDO.
          ENDIF.
          if l_char <> space.
            CONCATENATE l_xmlline l_char INTO l_xmlline.
          else.
            CONCATENATE l_xmlline l_char INTO l_xmlline SEPARATED BY space.
          endif.
          IF l_char = '<' AND l_nextchar <> '/'.
            l_indent = l_indent + 1.

        ELSE.
          l_indent = 0.

      ENDDO.
      APPEND l_xmlline TO e_tab_xmltab.
    *write: / l_xmlline.
    ENDMETHOD.
    The second Method does the same not with an string, but with an X-String:
    METHOD xml_xstr2table.
    *** Importing

                endian = 'L' ).
      conv->convert(
        EXPORTING input = i_xmlstring
        IMPORTING data = l_tmp_string ).

  • Unix timestamp conversion to human readable representation ...

    Hi,
    I map unix timestamps from MaxDB to the controller context of Web Dynpro and display the results in a table. Is there a smart way to convert the timestamps to human readable date and time? Maybe some way to manipulate the table values with a function before they are written ..?
    For now, I create a new node in the context and manually set each value with the according date/time representation ... but thats pretty cumbersome.
    Thank you very much for your help!
    Cheers,
    boris

    Hi Boris,
    Check http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html
    Date currentTime_1 = new Date(longUnixTimestamp);
    String dateString = formatter.format(currentTime_1);
    I would suggest you to create a calculated attribute under the same node as initial timestamp value and return a result of SimpleDateFormat.format().
    Best regards, Maksim Rashchynski.
