2D label on Intermec printer won't print 2 HEX characters

[Former Member]

I'm trying to print a 2D barcode (PDF417) on an Intermec PM4i using SAPscript.

It prints, but I"m unable to get some non-printable characters to print. Specifically, HEX 1E and 1D

Intermec support says to install code page 9163 in SAP so that these characters are in the code page.

I have done this, but my characters still do not print.

Here's a code snippet.

Anyone have experience printing 2D barcodes in Intermec PM4i?

• <STX><ESC>C<ETX>

• <STX><ESC>P<ETX>

• <STX>E4;F4;<ETX>

• <STX>B46;o10,662;c12,0,4,0;h15;w2;d3,[)><SUB><RS>06<SUB><GS>

= P&MATERIAL&<SUB><GS>Q&100(C.0)&<SUB><GS>

= 1JUN&99999999912345678&<SUB><GS>21L&PACKING&<SUB><GS>

= 20L&PACKING2&<SUB><GS>B&PACKING3&

= <SUB><GS>7Q&100(CTZ.0)&GT<SUB><RS><EOT><ETX>

• <STX>R<ETX>

• <STX><ESC>E4<ETX>

• <STX><CAN><ETX>

• <STX><ETB><ETX>

Amy,

I have got the same issue with the GM label with smartforms. We asked the vendor whether we can go with different seperators and they have aggreed to it. I have talked to the Zebra people in conjuction to this and they have said it is a limitation and they are working on it.

We found an answer for this, someone on OSS did reply.

Rather than just entering

<SUB><>RS>06<SUB><GS>

you have to add additional brackets like this

><SUB><(><<)>RS>06<SUB><(><<)>GS>

If you use the "new" editor in SO10 when you create your 2D barcode, SAP will put the extra brackets in automatically.

If you use the "old" editor in SO10 when you create the 2D barcode, you have to type the extra brackets in manually like above.

Hi,

The bar code printed on the label has an extra character '<' at the end. If possible can you please let me know what might be the reason for this. Thank you.
