Function documentation Bar Codes and SWIN Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

You can print bar codes on any Microsoft Windows printer. Do the following:

...

       1.      Define the printer in the SAP spool system with device type SWINs.

       2.      Select the access method S in the printer definition in the spool system

       3.      Install a.DLL file for bar codes on your Microsoft Windows PC.

SAP does not provide a bar code .DLL. You must obtain the .DLL from another vendor.

Typically, .DLL files of this type convert bar codes to graphics. Any printer that can print graphics can therefore print the bar codes, and no special font cartridge is required.

The bar code .DLL must meet the following requirements:

·        It must be compatible with your Microsoft Windows printers and with the SAP transfer program, SAPLPD, that is running on the Microsoft Windows PC.

The bar code.DLL must offer a programming interface is compatible with SAPLPD. For details about this interface and about compatible products, see SAP Note 25344 in the SAP Service Marketplace.

·        The .DLL file must be named BARCODE.DLL.

·        The .DLL file must be located in one of these directories:

¡        The winnt directory

¡        The directory in which SAPLPD.EXE resides.

Note

SAPLPD does not use the PATH variable to find the BARCODE.DLL.
