Hi,

You Can print barcode in SAPcript by creating Character format in sapcript.

Se71 ---> type in script name -

>Click Change -

> Click on Character Format -

> Click Shift + F6 .

Now in Standard tab, there is Bar Code TextField where you select bar Code.

Now use this Charcter Format in Change Editor of the window.

Suppose variable po_num store po number and A1 is charcter format with Bar code.

then in Change editor of window use as below,

<A1> &po_num </A1>.

you have to use following FM,

start_from

Open_form,

write_from,

close_from,

end_form.

Se71 is to create Sapcript.

Thanks & Regards,

Shreemohan

Hi Hemant,

For basics on SAP Scripts / Print Programs, use the forums since these have already been discussed:

For barcodes, use the character format screen. Here, create a new char format and assign it as barcode by selecting that checkbox. When you take the output, the conversion will happen automatically.

Hope this helps; if you are facing any specific issues, do revert back.

Cheers,

Shailesh.

Hi Shreemohan

I am doing in the same way, but i am unable to print in the way i want....

for BARCODE it is showing BIG Fonts and for other character it is showing toooooo small (even unreadable)

and one more thing since i need to print label (1" * 3"), how to set the size, Page size needs to be created if yes than how....

Thanks & Regards,

Hemant

make one form in sapscript with one main window: like this

/E	 	ETIKETT
/*	 	Format = '57x19', Printer = 'Bradyprinter Model 1344'
/	 	~f350
/	 	~n
/	 	~M0500
/	 	~O0220
/	 	~SG
/	 	~s
/	 	~c0000
/	 	~e
/	 	^D
/	 	~L
/	 	D11
/	 	H20
/	 	PC
/	 	pC
/	 	SC
/	 	A2
/	 	1911A1200400005&knmt-kdmat&
/	 	1911A0800300005&knmt-postx&
/	 	1911A0800100005VS-Nr   :         &KNMT-MATNR&
/	 	1911A0800000005Datum   :         &date&
/	 	Q0001
/	 	E

in this script &mseg-matnr& and &mseg-charg& are 2D Barcodes

/E	 	ETIKETT
/*	 	Format = '57x19', Printer = 'Bradyprinter Model 1344'
/	 	~f350
/	 	~n
/	 	~M0500
/	 	~O0220
/	 	~SG
/	 	~s
/	 	~c0000
/	 	~e
/	 	^D
/	 	~L
/	 	D11
/	 	H20
/	 	PC
/	 	pC
/	 	SC
/	 	A2
/	 	1Wc99000001400082000012012&mseg-matnr&
/	 	ySPM
/	 	1911A1000380055&mseg-matnr&
/	 	1Wc99000001501702000012012&mseg-charg&
/	 	1911A0800260055&mkpf-budat&
/	 	1911A0800140055&mseg-mblnr&
/	 	1911A0600020008&makt-maktx&
/	 	Q0001
/	 	E

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

Hi Tony

I am also facing the same problem of datamax printer with martform.

Let me be explain u the whole scenario

I need to print a label using datamax printer.Now since datamax doesn't understand SAP language and has its own programming language.So i have created a smartform.

In the main window i have created a text in which have written the whole code (in DPL - datamax programming language)for designing & printing of label.NO layout is created in the smartform its just used to write the DPL code.

The datamax printer is attached locally to the system and i am using locl as printer while printing the label.Now when i am printing it using datamax printer.The print is not getting triggered whereas spool is getting genereated.

DPL Code :

Please suggest.

Thanks

try to setup the printer in SPAD as ASCIIPRI (generic Ascii Printer) and as Host Spool access Method use C Direct operating system call. if the datamax printer is running on a printserver and installed with the correct Drivers, you just need to send ascii text with DPL Commands from SAP.
