The original Code 39 character set consists of bar code symbols representing characters 0-9, A-Z, the space character and the following symbols: - , . , $ , / , + , %. The Extended or Full ASCII extension to the original Code 39 uses a pair of characters to represent the other ASCII...

Audrey, We use the Zebra 105 series and it is very dependable, but at $2k is probably overkill. Handheld Products and Symbol scanners are very good, as long as they are not abused too much. If this is a time card application then abuse and security may be an issue. Also, with a keyboard wedge...

Kevin, Do you want the SAP forum for this? If so, and using ABAP, then just use table control on the dynpro screen to capture serial numbers during TO confirmation. But maybe I misunderstood... Mike

I am not an expert on 128, but I don't think you can combine keypresses like that. Also the SHIFT refers to a encoding shift rather than a keyboard shift. "The SHIFT character just changes the next character and only changes between Code Set A and Code Set B or the reverse." For...

Need details. If you bought the Bar Codes and More DIMM for an HP then it won't work because SAP doesn't support that font. The Bar Codes and More code 39 font is number 0Y. Instead SAP supports the 9Y font contained in a different font product (DIMM). You can change the SAP SBP01 thru SBPnn...

Greetings, SAPConsole just converts SAP GUI transactions, that normally have a smaller screen area, to run on a telnet device. Most screen controls are supported, but not table control and tabs. If possible see development group LMOB for examples. The SAPConsole profile lists the menu...

In SPAD you can create the page formats and then add them to the device type. Under the device type and page format combo you may need to add printer control commands (printer control strings) to set CPI spacing. I assume zpdf1 is a device type and not a printer id. If a compatible page...

Kevin, Probably the include statement is not formatted correctly. There are special naming conventions for includes in functions. If you don't follow them, syntax check may work in SE38 but fail if you try to execute. Include the code snipet in your post. Mike

Use transaction SPAD to add a new printer id and specify the printer network queue info (host, access type, etc.) See OSS notes 8928 (all) and 141914 (Lexmark specific) for a list of supported printers and corresponding device types (per release). Mike

Just get a barcode true type font from the web. You can also use the HP Bar Codes and More font product (a SIMM, DIMM or cartridge), but control is a little harder and the barcode size is limited. For specialized apps, you can even use a program (C, C++) to draw small PCL or GL/2 rectangles...

Thanks, Jim!

As Jim pointed out, Code39 always needs an asterisk as the start and stop character. With the way Code39 is encoded, all Code39 barcodes start and end with the same sequence of 9 bars and spaces. Namely: narrow bar wide space narrow bar narrow space wide bar narrow sapce wide bar narrow space...

Jim, Checked out the Pegasus site, but I wasn't sure which development tool or product prcesses images to recognize barcodes. What's the name of the tool or demo? Thanks, Mike

sba, Don't know if this will help, but we print Japanese, Chinese Simplified and Chinese Traditional, on Zebra 105 thermal label printers from SAP. We had to buy an EPROM for each lanaguage. You could download fonts, but the Asian fonts are lange and so it could be very time consuming. We had...

Appears it is not possible with the 4.6 version of SMART FORMS. We instead created our own table with mutiple columns. Even with separate tables, one for each column, SMART FORMS would staircase them down and across the page. Mike
