SAPSCRIPT: Printing international characters on ZEBRA; How to do?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I use software NiceLabel software to design barcode forms. I upload the design to so10 Sapscript text and print it on the Zebra ptinter. I used device tape ASCIIPRI. The SAP system is unicode.

Now I need to print chinese pallet labels and I get unexpected problems. I found a lot information but no solution. Is it possible to print international charcters form SAPScript on Zebra?

I got the information from Zebra's White Paper: Solution for Printing International Characters. There it says:

"Unicode UTF-8 is embedded within Zebra printers."

"SAP Forms can be universal. Labels and forms ... do not need to be modified or recreated to print in different languages."

"SAP-developed UTF-8 device type and code page support for SAPscript users"

"Label design software that can generate ZPL with support for Unicode ZPL commands"

Do you now which device type I have to use? I think I need an UTF-8 device type. Do you know how to go on?

Please help. Thanks

Hi,

does anybody have experience?

There must be someone who prints chinese pallet labels.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Frank,

as far as I know, it might be possible when using SMARTFORMS instead of SAPScript!

In that case, it depends of the device type and the printer type, of course.

Have a look on SAP Note 750002 SmartForms: Support für Zebra Etikettendrucker (ZPL2).

Cheers
