1. You define your barcode type in SE73 (-> "System bar codes" -> Change).These definitions contain attributes like length and width but they are for information only.

2. Next you assign your barcode type to a device (-> "Printer bar codes" -> Change). In this assignment you put two "print control" names prepared before.

"Print control" is a sequence of binary data recognized by the device. One of the print controls that you specify in assignment "barcode type -> device" is sent to a device before printing the barcode, the other is sent after printing.

The print control sent before printing should contain some device-specific instruction for setting the width and height of the barcode. See your device manual for details.

To prepare a control sequence use transaction SPAD -> DeviceTypes tab -> DeviceTypes button -> choose your device (doubleclick) -> "Print Controls" tab.

good luck

I have made a form with the barcode, have connected it to a Zebra printer.

I am having 4.6c SAP version.

but the label is not printing on the zebra printer. the zebra printer is TLP 2844.

Do we require any other setting to print.

cheers
