Dear gurus,
We're having trouble printing barcode from SAP Script using this tcode: S_ALR_87010137
We're using Zebra Printer model Z4M.
The configuration is as follow:
Device Type: LB_ZEB: Zebra label printer IBM850.
Access Method: S: Print Using SAP Protocol.
Page Format: ZLABEL (custom).
I've tried print using normal text and barcode. The status in SP01 is 'compl', but no print out result in the printer device.
I've seen SAP generated a spool in the OS Spool for about 3 seconds, and after that I see the Spool is in status "deleting" and disappear, without result.
Here's the log from SP01:
Print request processing log
Character converter active when first problem occurred
Data was saved with character set 4103
Data will be converted to character set 1162 (synt = 1162)

Thx very helpful as we are facing the same "Font Too Small" problem!

Finally we're moving to SmartForms as it's easier than to maintain SAPScript.

even though I'm not printing a barcode?
I tried to print statistic from ST06, which is just a plain text, and there's also no printout.
any other suggestions?
thanks for your help.

Does your layout set have embedded printer control commands for Zebra? There may be something available similar to Zebra's competition. For their printers, I got a design tool for desktop, drew the form, the selected output for SAP....copied the file into standard text, the copied the text into SAPScript layout set with expand immediately...just had to match up the variable names for SAP and the layout set and adjust the copy counter. I would expect Zebra to work along the same lines with SAPScript, but should be a natural output (except for RFID labels) from SmartForms.
Dear gurus,
We are using S method.
The print in OS level is OK. We can print from text file directly to the printer.
We're printing using sapscript.
Should we use the barone software from Zebra as mentioned in the above notes?
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
Label printers all use various unique printer languages so you must use
third party software and ASCII type device type. The method described
in SAP Notes 179534 and 135894 are a workaround method to print to Zebra
label printers from Sapscript.
For the Zebra printers only there is a possibility to print barocde
labels without the third party BAR-ONE software. This method is only
possible if you use a Smartform instead of a Sapscript form for printing
to Zebra ZPL II labelprinters.The procedure is described in the
following SAP Notes:
750002 - Smart Forms: Support for Zebra label printer (ZPL2)
750772 - Information on the ZPL-II printer driver for SmartForms
I hope this helps.

David
Hi David,
This thread is almost 1 year old. But I need some information reg. Bar One.
1) Do we need ZEBRA printer though we are using Bar One for SAP Script?or Can we use any other printer?
2) Do you have any documentation how to use Bar One for Label Print? and I heard that
we design complete form also from Bar One .is it true?
Your help will be highly appreciable.
Thank&Regards

Hi Sameer,
If your creating SAPScript and trying to print to a Zebra printer, you have 3 options:
1. You can create/code the SAPScript using the ZPL (Zebra Programming Language) as the formatting (placement) of the objects you want to print. This is useful if your creating a few labels and are familiar with the ZPL language.
2. You can utilize a program such as Zebra Designer for MySAP Business Suite and create your label in a very intuitive GUI environment. This solution only allows you to create ITF files for Zebra printers. NOTE: Barone is no longer a supported product although it still works fine.
3. You can utilize another middle-ware package to design the ITF file. They may support other printers as well.
If you have further questions, feel free to contact Zebra support at sapinfo @ zebra.com
sameer,
use a smartform to create your label, its a lot easier
if you are not using a zebra printer,
check with the brand of your printer if there are additional drivers to upload onto the printer in order for you to create the label as a smartform.
i have just done that with a printronix printer, works beautifully!
Hello,
Which access method are you using?
If you are using a network printer with access method L or U or S,
please check ifthe flag 'Do Not Query Host Spooler for Output Status'
was set for your output device in SPAD. If so this means that the spool
will have the status 'Compl' as soon as it is passed to the OS Host
Spooler.
The problem with these spools seems to be at OS level in the Unix print
queue and must be solved there.
It would seem that the problem is outside of the R/3 system and is at
UNIX or printer level. Perhaps you had a temporary Network or printer
problem. You can test by executing the lpstat query to this printer
at OS level.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
David
