Are you using SAPscript, Smatforms or Adobe?

Cheers,

Neil.

Added: Just realised you are using SAPscript as you mentioned SE71. If you change the size of the font associated with the barcode to a smaller size it should to the trick.

Hi Neil ,

Thanks for reply ,

I already chnaged the hieght and width of barcode ARTNR(it this okay or I have create a new system barcode) and checked in se71->utilities->printing test , it looks the right size but when printed the size is still little big , Do you think I should decrease height and width untill I get the right size with printer .

Thanks

You can resize according to your requirement using SE73 transaction.

Hi Vinay,

What you can do is create a character format, assign your barcode to that character format and specify a small font. IE: Courier Size 6pt.

Cheers,

Neil.

Hi Neil ,

I dint want the readable font below the barcode , I used a different system barcode which does not print readable font , with the resizing I The the functional team was okay with size . actually to change we have to go SPAD and chnage the prefix setting for the Device type in use .

Thanks A lot for you help

Just of curiosity,

Did you ever work for FMC AUS . I have seen same the name in thier programs .
