print barcodes

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have a barcode in a smartform and when I print it in my local printer or ina a network HP5000, the barcode are only numbers.

The system barcode used is standard CD39_00 and the HP5000 is listed in the printer barcodes with that barcode, so I understand they both are suitable.

In the smartfomr I have tried with a variable and with a number sequence, so, what's my problem? Do I need to install any driver physically in my printer?

Thanks and regards,

Ana

Hello Ana,

Does your printer have barcode DIMM module installed? In general, if you want to print a barcode, somebody must draw the bars

of the barcode to get a correct print.

One way is with a barcode DIMM installed in the printer. see SAP note #45643.

Another possibility is to print via windows and device type SAPWIN, with a barcode.dll installed in the windows. See SAP note 14561.

If your printer doesn't have a barcode DIMM and you don't want to use a barcode.dll, you can use the new barcode technology, which is described in SAP Notes #645158 and #430887. However this is only possible via Smartforms.

Regards,
