Which ZPL2 code is generated by smartforms.

Hi experts,

SAP has made some arrangements in smartforms to make it possible to create a regular Smartform which will printed normal on an normal printer. However if this same smartforms sends output to a zebraprinter the output is converted to ZPL2 code which the zebra printer needs to work.

Does anyone know how to check which ZPL2 code is sent to the printer.

Waiting for your answer.

Gr., Frank

Hi Frank,

In general you can capture the print data being sent to the printer from SAP using Method 2 of SAP Note:

5799 - How can you view prepared print data?

First you need to increase the trace level for the output device used to print:

SPAD -> <Output Device> -> Edit -> Test tool

Data: Logging the first 100K

x Level 2 trace

x Function Trace

Then a log will always be produced in sp01 for the spool:

SP01 -> Spool Request Number -> Output requests -> Double click on Log -> All information

Here you can view the print data being sent to the printer.

To print from a Smartform to a Zebra printer, you must use a device type like LZEB2 as pre the SAP Notes:

750772 - Information about the ZPL-II printer driver for Smart Forms

750002 - Smart Forms: Support for Zebra label printer (ZPL2)
