Barcode Printing Using SAPScript

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We want to use SAPscript for some of our form requiremnst. These have Barcodes in them.

We have also got the DIMM Card attached to our HP Laser jet 4350 printer.

We intend to use the B128A_00 barcode font for our printing.

In the Barcode we have declared a Character format BC which points to the barcode format. The Text element used in the MAIN window uses the Paragraph Format P1 and the Barcode in Barcode Character format.

P2,,Material Number,,: &KARTE-MATNR&,,<BC>&KARTE-MATNR&</>

Altough we are able to get the Print Preview of the Barcode we are not able to get the Prinout of the barcode.

Any inputs. Anything extra we need to do in the SAPscript to take care of this Barcode issue.

Thanks and Regards,

Arunava

If the SAP assigned escape sequence to the barcode you are using for character format BC is not the same as that of the barcode font on the DIMM, the printer won't print it even if you see it in the preview

Print the font list from the printer, and ask your basis person to compare the escape sequence.

Are u using SAP standard barcode font or custom for char format BC? what is the make and model of the DIMM? and what is the device type assigned to the printer?

I agree with Sridhar. Make sure the device type of the printer was changed after the card was added to your printer.

There is also a test program and layout set provided with SAP. You can run it and send it to your printer. If the barcodes don't show, it isn't a problem with the SAPscript. I don't have access to a system right now. I can check the name of the test program tomorrow.

Hi Norman,

It will be great help if you can provide me the Test SAPscript program and Layout set.

I will look tomorrow when I can access a system.

In the meantime, I found this in the SAP Help.
