If you're a Unicode system look into using device type SWINCF, this is the Unicode version of SAPWIN. And PDFUC in place of PDF1.

When I issue the Print output by selecting the Configured SAP network

printer, The barcodes are not printing.Instead of barcode it print big

number.

But When i select the "Local printer" (which has barcode printing

facility) barcode print fine.

First, you need to download the sap driver of your printer model from the manufacturers websites, usually the file has an extension *.pri this is different from windows drivers. Next, save the file to a any directory (e.g. c:\temp) then logon to your System. In TCODE spad > goto Utilities > For Device types > select Import. A window will be opened > tick Device Type >

Object name: type the exact filename of your downloaded file (xxx.pri) to be imported

Mode: IMPORT

F8/Execute

Select the Local Object button and browse to the location of downloaded file and select open, this will start the import process. When import process is complete a pop message will be shown "Object successfully imported"

Note: For alternative drivers try to use ZSAPWIN.

Hope this helps.
