FAQ: TBarCode/Direct - Barcode Printing for SAP®

FAQ for TBarCode/Direct, TEC-IT's PostScript® Barcode Printing Solution for SAP® without Middleware.
 

Device Type

How can I print Thai or Chinese Characters?

Please look at SAP OSS Note # 83502.

In your SAP system there should be a device type

  • THSPOST for printing Thai characters
  • CNSPOST for printing Chinese characters.

Make a copy of it and adjust the Printer Barcodes (transaction SE73) as shown in our manual. Then assign this device type to your printer (transaction SPAD).

For TBarCode/Direct you need a device type, which uses a PostScript printer driver!

Printing

Last letters in some strings are mixed up

Wrong Characters in the Print-Out

Please check out OSS Note: 538765.

There is an error in the SAP Postscript printer driver POST (device types POST2) when printing PostScript strings in so-called ASCII-85 representation. This occurs when using SAP Basis release 6.10 or higher.

Possible Solutions:

  • Install the kernel patch for 6.20 (patch level 1481 - corrected in 6.40 STANDARD),
  • or switch off the ASCII85 Representation and use Hexadecimal Encoding as done in previous SAP versions.

Switching from ASCII85 to hexadecimal: Change the option POST_ASCII85 to NO in the TSOPTIONS table afterwards, and then restart.

Tray Selection / Paper Format B6

In most cases, you must specify the assigned format for the correct tray selection in the print job.

For example, if the printer was set to B6 in the manual tray, set the print job found inside the Init-Event of the SAP device type to B6. This would overdrive the original page setup.
