Device type to be used for Zebra 220XiIII Printer

[Former Member]

Hello All,

We are printing labels from SAP to the printer Zebra 220XiIII Printer using Adobe Print forms technology. When configuring the printer, we used the device type as PDF1. The print was fine in terms of data display and positioning of the text and barcodes but the issue is that it takes 30secs. to print each label. This was not acceptable as it is creating delays in Shipment.

To address the issue we changed the device type to LZEB3. The print was fast i.e., in 20 seconds the printer was able to print 5 labels but the font on the label is increased automatically because of which the data on the label is truncated.

Does any one have any ideas on what is the device type to be used and is there any specific font to be used?

Please note that we desinged the forms using ADOBE FORMS TECHNOLOGY. There are many notes in Service market place which are specific to Smart forms. Please come up with your ideas.

Regards,

Hi Praveen,

in SAP-Note 1173046 isn't your model named as a line, but maybe model 220 is similar, it recommend device-type YZB200.

I cannot believe, that your ZEBRA-printer is that slow, but if changing the devicetype doesn't help you, maybe you contact ZEBRA itself, they are a member of SAP Printer Vendor program.

Hi Florian,

Thank you for your response. We were able to fix the issue by changing the Device type to LZEB2.

For some reason YZB200, YZB300 and other device types which we found in the device type wizard did not work in our case. We did not investigate the reason as LZEB2 worked and we have time crunch
