Vertical Barcode in Smart Form

Hello together!

Does anyone know, if it is possible to print a barcode vertically on a smart form document. The barcode should be in the central left part of the document aligned vertical so that it could be read from the left side of the document.

Any idea, how this could be possible - then let me please know how to realize.

Thank's for your help

Hi Volker,

Not sure if this would work, but perhaps you could modify the Print COntrols for your Barcode Font? Go to SE73 and select Printer Barcodes. Choose your particular Device Type and then select your font.

You should see what they call "Prefix" and "Suffix" assigned to each font. These are external printer commands (codes that are read by the printer which tell it how to print the font). These codes are specific to your printer so you would need to refer to your printer's programming guide. Maybe there is something in the font definition that allows you to print the barcode sideways.

If this does not work, I would suggest you try and use the COMMAND node in SmartForms. This allows you to put in external printer commands in your SmartForm. You will need to once again refer to your printer's programming guide to see if there is a "rotate" command. Insert the COMMAND node in the relevant spot in your SmartForm and enter the appropriate "rotate" command.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Pat.
