In the second step, the line marked as barcode is passed to the barcode generator and the barcode image is added. But only the first line (before the text break) is converted to a barcode - the others remain unconverted. So the goal is to avoid unnecessary text breaks and to fit the barcode data into a line of text.</ul> <p>Below we describe the possible workarounds to overcome this limit:</p> <h3 class="">Font Size</h3> <p>Use a very small font size (e.g. 6 pt) for the line, where you draw the bar code. This increases the number of characters for the actual line.</p> <h3 class="">Smart Forms</h3> <p>Take a look at OSS notes 497380. Please try activating the barcode via print control and use several fields (each 255).</p> <h3 class="">SAPscript</h3> <p>Use the Print control command as shown below. The name of the print controls can be seen in the device type (SE73 printer barcodes). Split up the data into several fields (each 68).</p> <pre style=""> /: PRINT-CONTROL SBP90. = &V_BC1& = &V_BC2& /: PRINT-CONTROL SBS01. </pre> <p>According to SAP note 197177 it may be necessary to surround the print control command by a small font tag:</p> <pre style=""> * <fs><32> /: PRINT-CONTROL SBP90. = &V_BC1& = &V_BC2& /: PRINT-CONTROL SBS01. * </> </pre> <p>Alternatively you can use the RAWTEXT command as shown in SAP note 497491:</p> <pre style=""> /: PRINT-CONTROL SBP90. /: RAWTEXT &V_BC1& /: RAWTEXT &V_BC2& /: PRINT-CONTROL SBS01. </pre> <h3 class="">Barcode DLL Variables</h3> <p>The Barcode DLL supports "variables", which are concatenated together before creating the bar code. You also have to split up the data into multiple "data chunks" with that method. Advantage: You can use the common character formats for creating the bar code and can omit the (device type specific) print control command.</p> <p>See <a href="http://www.tec-it.com/Download/PDF/TBarCode10_SAPwin_2DDataSplittingQRCode.pdf" target="_blank" title="2D Barcode Data Splitting">2D Barcode Data Splitting</a></p></div><div class="ContentBlock post-big _none_A"><a id="102201" name="102201"></a><h2 class="" style="">How Can I Export a Device Type?</h2> <ul class=""> <li>Enter transaction <var>SPAD</var> </li> <li>Main Menu: <kbd>Utilities --> For Device Types --> Export</kbd></li> <li>Object Selection = Device Type </li> <li>Enter the name of the device type into the input field [Object Name] </li> <li>Click Execute or press <b>F8</b> </li> <li>In the following dialog enter (or confirm) the path where the export file should be saved </li> </ul> </div><div class="ContentBlock post-big _none_A"><a id="102102" name="102102"></a><h2 class="" style="">How Can I Print Chinese Characters?</h2> <p>Please look at SAP OSS Note # 83502.</p> <p>If your SAP system is a Unicode system, there should be a device type <var>SWINCFC</var> for printing Chinese characters.

The print job is routed through SAPGUI, SAPlpd or SAPSprint and these programs call our Barcode DLL for barcode insertion. <h3 class="">PDF from SAP</h3> With PDF it is different - the SAP PDF Generator generates the PDF completely on the server and here we have no possibility to insert the bar code. SAP PDF inserts no barcode (except "new technology" bar codes), only a text note. <h3 class="">Combination Printing + PDF</h3> <p>The only solution for generating PDF documents with real visible bar codes from the Barcode DLL is a Windows PDF printer software. You print to this printer like a normal printer but the driver of this software generates a PDF instead of a print out. </p> <p>PDF Printer software is available from several vendors. You should select a tool, which allows server operation and is not dialog based (= generates PDF document names and stores PDF files automatically).</p> <p>Adjusting a sufficient image output resolution (600 dpi) in the PDF driver is important to get readable barcodes.</p> <div class="div-note">Our product TBarCode/SAPwin (Barcode DLL) can create the bar codes ONLY during printing, that means sending the job to a physical printer or any other printer in the Windows system (can be also PDF printer like www.win2pdf.com). This limit is by design of the data flow and spooling process. The SAP integrated PDF generator is not able to create QR Codes or Data Matrix - because IT DOES NOT invoke the Barcode DLL.</div></div></div></div></div> <footer class="clearfix"> <div class="footer block-full bg-color-footer"> <div class="eat-outer-margins"> <div class="clearfix"> <div class="block-3"> <div class="block-inner">  <div id="ctl00_AboutCompany"><h3>TEC-IT Datenverarbeitung GmbH</h3> <p>TEC-IT, Austria, has been developing software for <a href="en/software/barcode-software/Default.aspx" title="Barcode Software">barcoding</a>, <a href="en/software/barcode-software/Default.aspx" title="QR Code Software">QR and 2D-codes</a>, <a href="en/software/label-printing/label-software/tformer/Default.aspx" title="Label Printing">printing</a>, <a href="en/software/label-printing/Default.aspx" title="Label Software">labeling</a>, <a href="en/software/report-generator/Default.aspx" title="Reporting Software">reporting</a> and <a href="en/software/data-acquisition/twedge/keyboard-wedge/Default.aspx" title="Data Acquisition Software">data acquisition</a> since 1996.</p> <p>Our company offers standard software like <a href="en/software/report-generator/Default.aspx" title="Label Software, Report Designer">TFORMer</a>, <a href="en/software/barcode-software/Default.aspx" title="Barcode Generator Software, QR- and 2D-Code Creation" >TBarCode</a> and <a href="en/software/barcode-software/barcode-creator/barcode-studio/Default.aspx" title="Barcode Maker Software, QR and 2D Code Maker Software">Barcode Studio</a>.
