In my experience, printing barcode using this Intermec printer, you have to use some scripts that is recognized by the printer.

There is a barcode studio to layout the barcode that you want to print, an d then you can generate the script within it.

You then have to take this script and implement it to your smartforms

Hi Grettel,

The barcode can be printed in any printer , only issue here would be to add the barcode format & install driver to the printer which will be taken care by the basis team.

Procedure to print barcode :

In smartstyles (Tcode:smartstyles)

Create character format name B1(say)

Use the Barcode option in the Standard setting tab .

U can select any barcode which suits your requirement

Once the barcode charaterformat is created in smartstyles then use the character format in your smartform

In smart form

text element 1 :

• This is the barcode <B1>this is the barcode</>

• Value of a variable <B1>V_VAR1</>

Reward if u find it useful
