Inserting A Barcode in SapScript

Former Member — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 07:33:24 GMT

Hi,

Can anyone help in inserting a barcode in Sapscript....... the barcode type I use is EAN128 and the printer is HP.... as sap scripts are client dependent does this have any effect on the printer I use??? Suppose if the client currentlyy using HP printer wanted to change to another printer with different configuration then my program suppors this barcode.....I mean is there any solution where my program works for different printers.......?

Hi!

To include a barcode in your script, you will have to create a character format with the required Barcode format in your script. Use this character format to write the contents in the window. This barcode will be printed correctly as long as the printer would identify the barcode format. The required drivers should be installed.

Cheers!

I know that we should use the character format to print the barcode.. what about my second question regarding the printer....

As I said in my response, the barcode will be printed correctly on any printer till the time it is defined correctly in SAP and it is able to recognise the relevant barcode format i.e. the drivers are installed. So from SAP Script point of view, you dont need to do anything special to print correctly on different printers.
