Is there anyother settings are necessory?
Plz help me in solving the peoblem

Hi
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.

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.

*BARCODE USING SMARTFORMS*

hi experts,
i need examples on barcodes using smartforms......
in smartform dev(wht are the fields to take)
rewards points will be there....
thanks and regards
fareeda

Hi Fareeda,
To print a barcode in a smart form,you need to create a character format for the barcode.
TO create a character format,you need to do it in SMARTSTYLES tcode.
Follow these steps:
Go to the SMARTSTYLES tcode.
Give a name to your style and create it.
Give a description and save it.
On the left hand side of the window,you will find character formats.
Click on it and press F5.
Give a name to the character format and select OK.
Give a description for the character format and save it.
There you will find a tab by name General Settings.In that Tab you will find BarCode.
Select any one of the style for the barcode as per your requirement.This is the name of the barcode.
Now save the character format and activate the samrtstyle.
To use the bar code in the form,follow these steps:
now in the window,you will find a tab by name OUTPUT OPTIONS.Ther give the name of the style same as the name that you have created in the SMARTSTYLES.
In the text element window,Select the character format that you have created in the smartstyles.
Now in the text elements of the window, type the field name for which you want to print the bar code in the following way to print the bar code:
&<work area/table name >-<field name>&

Printing Barcodes with ABAP or SAPSCRIPT
hope u will get some idea.
We are now ready to print barcodes using an ABAP report program or a SAPSCRIPT form. In these examples we are using Code 39 barcodes which require very little formatting (all we have to do is add asterisks before and after the data).
Sample ABAP Program:
DATA: BAR_CODE1(16) VALUE `ABC01230123A01'
NEW-PAGE PRINT ON IMMEDIATELY `X'.
FORMAT COLOR OFF INTENSIFIED OFF.
If the barcode is the first element on the page, the following Write

Details information about SAP Barcodes
A barcode solution consists of the following:

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.
The next part of the equation can be a bit tricky as you will need to get a printer to print that barcode font. Regular laser printers does not normally print barcode fonts, only specialized industrial printers that is specifically designed to support that protocol and that uses specialized label media and heat transfer (resin) ribbon to create the sharp image required for barcodes.
Not to fear though, there are two ways to get around this:
- You can have your IT department do some research -
most laser printers can accept a font cartridge/dimm chip (similar to computer memory), called a BarDIMM that will allow a laser printer to support the printing of barcodes.
- Secondly, you can buy software that you can upload in your SAP print Server that will convert the barcode symbology as an image that will print on a regular laser printer. I found that this option results in less sharper barcodes. This option is really if you need to convert a large quantity of printers (>10) to support barcodes.
- Thirdly, you can buy a third party software like Barcode.dll and install on your frontend PC connected to the laser printer.
Now you have a barcode printed - what next?
Well there are two options, depending on your business requirements:
- You can use an existing SAP transaction on a regular workstation and get a barcode wedge reader to hook up between the keyboard and the PC. These wedge readers comes in a wand or scanner format. There are even wireless wedge scanners available that allows you to roam a few yards from the workstation to scan a label. This approach is mostly used where you want to prevent human errors in typing in long material, batch or serial numbers in receiving or issuing of material. The problem is that it's just replacing the keyboard input and you are basically locked down in one location and have to bring all the material to that location to process.
- Another solution is to use SAPConsole transactions
or write your own ABAP Dialog programs that will fit onto a barcode enabled wireless handheld terminal and that will follow the business logic as executed on the shop floor.
These programs are highly complex exercises in industrial engineering and ergonomics because of the limited screen sizes and limited ability to accept keyboard input. The user is instructed step-by-step and only scan and push F-keys to interact with the SAP system. Scan, scan, beep, beep, enter - highly automated.
Barcode Standard
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

Printing barcode using oracle graphics

Hello Folks,
I am trying to create bar codes using reports & graphics. The
report documentation (chapter 06) does have guidance but which
is not clear on the graphics side.
Is some one can elaborate little more on this?
Regards.

Spencer is correct...
but, watch out for the DEVICE you are reading the
bar code with...the wand, bar gun...etc.
what we had to do ( my team )
was to put and "*" before the bar code
and a "*" after the bar code for our gun to read
the code...then is worked...
patrick
from the 3of8.ttf
go to the control panel
find FONTS and click on it
once the program displays all your FONTS
click on the menu FILE and then click on
INSTALL. this will ask you where the 3of9.tff is located
..find the location,
then install.
in your oracle report,
click on the FONT to install 3of9...blah..blah
good luck

Hi All,
Please help me on below queries.

2.They were config script name in the company code level for PAYMENT method in FBZP, based on Checks were print using standard program RFFOUS_C in Transaction code F110, If we develop the SMARTFORM in 4.6C, we can not keep the Z<smartform> in config FBZP.
Is there is any standard driver program for smart forms in 4.6c or ECC 6.0?,if it is there please give me the standard program.
There is a PDF option in ECC6.0 using T.code: FBZP.
Please tell me, That PDF option is supports the smart forms or others?
Thanks & regards,

I also have the same requirement where we have to do away with all SAP scripts and make use of Smartforms however you cannot maintain a smartform in TCODE FBZP. I am in the process of customizing program RFFOUS_C which i copied and making my modifications to.

Printing Barcode in Smartform

Hi All,
When i am previewing the smartform, i was able to see the barcode.
When i am printing the Smartform i am seeing the Order number instead of Barcode.
This is happening from my client side also. (You might think that, my printer is not supported for the barcode. But the client printer is barcode enabled printer)
When the client is printing the SAP Script for the same which i have converted to Smartform is printing the Barcode correctly.
Do i need to do any settings? Please let me know.
Thanks,
Lin

Hi,
All you need to check is
1. Whether the printer supports Barcode. If it does not support barcode, then you will need to buy a DIMM card or barcode.dll file. You can get a demo file from net.
2. You need to install DIMM Card to your printer. or You need to install Barcode.dll file in SAPLpd directory in the front end PC.
or
3. You can buy software that you can upload in your SAP print Server that will convert the barcode symbology as an image that will print on a regular laser printer. But option results in less sharper barcodes. This option is really if you need to convert a large quantity of printers (>10) to support barcodes.
For complete information always you can go to SAP Help.

Hi,
Does the alignment look correct in te print preview? There are some problems with dot matrix printers due to limitations of the ESC/P printer lamguage.(see SAP note #19807)
Try printing via windows and a windows device type like SAPWIN or SWINCF. The result should be better.

then you need your own printprogram and everything is fine. with open_form ; start_form ; write_form; end_form
you can communicate direct with the Datamax Programming Language from SAPScript to the Barcode printer.
i also have the datamax programmers manual as pdf if you want i could send it to you. let me know by PM.
also have look into HW 490295 the bartender Solution works fine for me to create the SO10 text's

Problem with printing barcode..

I am given only the barcode dimension and content to print it using smartforms..how do i go about it..? Do i have to start from SPAD transaction or se73.. kindly let me know links which may give step by step guideline to my problem..and in SE73 i dont know which barcode symbology i need to assign..
Also, why do we have to go for TCode SPAD?

Hi
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.

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.
