Hi!

As per my knowledge, zebra printers are not controlled explicitly from SAP. You need to use the printer software (BARONE) supplied with your printer to do this. Hence even the direction of printing would be controlled from that. For further details OSS notes are available which describe the complete process.

Hope this helps!

Cheers!

Surendra,

We have done a similar requirement but not using SMARTFORMS.

1.Develop a program which fetches all the data into one internal table and then downloading the data in the form of a text file to the presentation server with a path C:\BARONELT\JOBS\

ie BARONELT is a folder which is having all the necessary files related to BARONE software and JOBS is the folder which should hold the text files

2.Install the BARONE software and design the layout of the label using BARONE software.The designed layout should be stored in C:\BARONELT

3.Once the text files are downloaded into this JOBS folder and the BARONE printer is ON then automatically the printer fetches the files from the JOBS folder and prints it.You can even set a delay of 5 seconds before printing.

4.BARONE software needs to be installed in all the PC's used to execute this zprogram

Note:- If you want to see the generated text file then see to that BARONE printer is not ON when the program is executed.If the BARONE printer is ON then immediately it starts printing and this you will not be able to see the generated text file.
