[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

I can Print the Barcode with System Barcode but when i created a new form the old one with Z and when i change in the form with Z i couldn't print. Can anyone let me know what would be the problem.

Thanks,

I do not understand.

You created a new system barcode that starts with Z?

If yes...

did you assign it to a custom (Z) device type (printer barcode)?

are the print controls (escape sequences) defined for the printer barcode?

is the printer using the custom Z type?

If no....

did you just copy a system barcode to a Z system barcode?

I may be wrong, but I think there are a few more steps to take.

I am not sure I know enough about your environment.

Are you using barcode sofware?

What printers are you using?

Lexmark Optra with barcode functionality, HP with the JetCAPS SIMM, Zebra printers, other?

Do you have the programmers guide for the printer? Can you get it online?

There are several ways to adjust the barcode size if an existing barcode font does not meet the requirements.

Is it the height or width?

One method-

Copy the DEVICE TYPE to a Z type in txn SPAD.

Copy a system barcode in txn SE73.

Add the new barcode to the Z device type in SE73.

Create new print controls in SPAD.

Assign the print controls to the new print barcode in SE73.

Assign the printer to the Z device type in SPAD.

Another method-

Leave the system barcodes, printer barcodes, and device types alone.

Embed the escape sequence in your SAPscript.

You can find the prefix and suffix print-controls in txn SE73 under printer barcodes.

Paste the escape sequence in your layout set surrounded by <(> and <)>.

Change the values for sizing. You need to be familiar with the escape characters for the barcode font for the specific printer.

Your SAPscript line might look something like this..

<(>(s0p8h11.52v0s1b360T<)>&DATA1&<(>(s0p8h1<)>

Another method-

If you are using a Zebra printer, you can use software like Barone.

Another -

Call the print-controls directly in your layout set...

/:PRINT-CONTROL SESCP

&DATA1&

/:PRINT-CONTROL SBS11
