The procedure for creating Barcodes in Smartforms

Steps to implement bar code in the smartform:

1. Create a SmartStyle: Use the transaction code smartstyle. Give a suitable name .Choose Create.

2. Create a Character Node: In change mode of the Smart Style select the Character Formats Node and choose Create. In the Character format field enter a two-character key. Click Continue.

3. Select desired attributes of Bar Code: Select the desired attributes of the Bar Code on the tab Standard Settings.

4. Choose Activate.

5. Use the Smartstyle in the Smartform: Assign the character format to the field or character string in the smartform.

6. Activate the smartform.

7. Test the same.

Thank you very much for answering, with this steps I understand I create the style so I can use it in the smartform, but am I going to need some special installation in the printer or something like that??, beacuse right now I'm using the style S_TEST in the system for barcodes, but in preview I can see the barcode but in the printer is interpreted as numbers, the commentary I mencioned was about that in smartforms or in the version 5.0 of SAP is not necessary special installation in the printers is this true?, thanks again.
