PDF417 bar code on Printronix

Former Member

Hello,

We try to print PDF417 bar code on a Printronix printer.

The customer requires some hexadecimal characters like Group Separator (1D) or End Of Transmission (04) in the bar code sequence.

We have created an Abap program which includes the printer language and changed character set (9117) and device type (ZLB_PRI) for our printer.

OSS notes 137372 and 135894 have also been taken in account.

When we look into the SAP spool we see sequence

[)>#06#P12791961#Q7200#1JUN344672746092507667#2SKS0007596#BV012-10##

where the # stand for the hexa characters.

In Hexa display mode it looks OK

But it seems the printer receives the # instead of the hexa codes and

the bar code is not readable.

Could you please give us some advise what could be wrong.

Thank you for your help
