Defining Printer Bar Codes (SAP Library - BC

Defining Printer Bar Codes

Use

A Printer bar code specifies the name of the print controls that are used to turn bar code printing on and off. You must define bar code print controls for each printer type that you want to use for bar code printing.

Prerequisites

Ensure that the system bar code for your printer bar code already exists, or create a new system bar code, see Creating System Bar Codes . Define the new printer bar code only for the copy of an original device type.

Procedure

Choose Tools ® SAPscript ® Administration ® Font (transaction SE73 ) .
Select Printer bar codes and choose Change.

Choose your new device type.

Choose Create to define a new printer bar code.
Enter the following information:

Bar code: The name of the system bar code that you want to print.

Prefix: The name of a print control in the form SBP<nn>. <nn> is an ID number.

You can select any identification number you want. The print control name must be unique among the print controls that have been defined for the device type.

Example: SBP25

Suffix: The name of a print control in the form SBS<nn>. <nn> is an ID number.

You can select any identification number you want. The print control name must be unique among the print controls that have been defined for the device type. You should use the same identification number for both Prefix and Suffix.

Example: SBS25

Result

Once you have created a printer bar code, you can continue with step 4, Specifying Printer Commands in the Print Controls.
