Zebra Label unable to Print Underscore _ Barcode

[Former Member]

HI All,

I am try to pass in a value with underscore '_' to the bar code, but it is not able to interpret but neglected the sign.

Example: Value passed in Date Code: AT_JK-IU

But the barcode printed as ATJK-IU <<< without the underscore.

I am not sure if it is the limitation or some setting I need to configure in the Zebra BAR-ONE Software I am using.

Information:

Printer Model: 105SL

Using Smartforms to import the converted LBL to print.

Thanks in Advance.

Thanks Shiva

for the information and resource,

I've managed to print out the zebra correctly but my question is:

I am unable to print the sign '_' UNDERSCORE when it was passed to convert to Barcode.

Is that a limitation or any setting needs to be configured ?

THanks

Steps to implement bar code in the smart form:

1. Create a Smart Style: Use the transaction code smart style. Give a suitable name .Choose Create.

2. Create a Character Node: In change mode of the Smart Style select the Character Formats Node and choose Create. In the Character format field enter a two-character key. Click Continue.

3. Select desired attributes of Bar Code: Select the desired attributes of the Bar Code on the tab Standard Settings.

4. Choose Activate.

5. Use the Smart style in the Smart form: Assign the character format to the field or character string in the smart form.

6. Activate the smart form.

7. Test the same.

option to change:

1. You define your barcode type in SE73 (-> "System bar codes" -> Change).These definitions contain attributes like length and width but they are for information only.

2. Next you assign your barcode type to a device (-> "Printer bar codes" -> Change). In this assignment you put two "print control" names prepared before.

"Print control" is a sequence of binary data recognized by the device. One of the print controls that you specify in assignment "barcode type -> device" is sent to a device before printing the barcode, the other is sent after printing.

The print control sent before printing should contain some device-specific instruction for setting the width and height of the barcode. See your device manual for details.

To prepare a control sequence use transaction SPAD -> DeviceTypes tab -> DeviceTypes button -> choose your device (doubleclick) -> "Print Controls" tab.
