1. I had similiar problems until I defined a local barcode in SE73, as a system barcode, and used it. From then on, even the copy machine prints out barcodes.

2. black color rectangles are ok for print preview.

1. go to SE73.

2. choose SYSTEM BAR CODES radio button and then press CHANGE.

3. in the following screen press CREATE. a popup screen will show.

4. you can choose either OLD or NEW barcode technology. I'll go with NEW.

5. name your barcode. I usually choose Z + customer's company name for marketing reasons. continue.

6. choose the symbology. This information should be provided from the person handling the barcode machine itself. We'll go with the popular code 128 for this example. continue.

7. barcode alignment - choose the one that fits your form best. continue.

8. barcode parameters - again, choose the one that fits your form best. continue.

9. save the barcode.

moving on to SMARTFORMS transactions.

go into the smartform style you're using, or create a new one.

1. create a new character format. I usually name it BC for barcode

2. on the second box (barcode) of the first tab (standard settings), you can now choose the barcode you created.

3. save and exit.

and that's about it. from now on, when choosing the style with the barcode in it, you have the option to applying your barcode font to a text the same way you apply any other font.

Hope this helps. There are other ways probably, but this one works for certain. The only problem I had with it, was when using hebrew fonts and barcode together on a zebra printer from the early nineties.
