SAP Script: Barcode printing in "Local windows printer"

[Former Member]

Hi All,

In SAP Script, I have used Barcode format to print a Number.

When I issue the Print output by selecting the Configured SAP network printer, The barcodes are properly printed.

but When i select the "Local windows printer" (which has barcode printing facility) option i.e Device type: SAPWIN, the Barcodes are not getting printed.

I have Specified that Network printer as my Default Windows printer, but still when we give "Local printer" the Barcodes does not print.

But for the same network printer when i select it from the List of SAP printers, the barcodes are printed.

Please suggest why barcodes are not getting printed when we give "local windows printer" as the Print device.

Does the same issue also happens for Smart forms?

Hi,

You will need to install a barcode dll to you SAPlpd to be able to print barcodes in this way. There are a number of software providers for barcode dlls, you can find these by searching google (or similar) with SAP barcode dll.

Hi Nick,

Thanks for your reply.

Is it the same case for Smart forms? Do w also need to install arcode.dll to print barcodes using Smart forms in a Local windows printer?
