Hi,

While creating barcode instead of selecting code 39 radio button please select PDF 417 radio button and test it. May be it will work.

Thanks,

Hi,

Software to be installed in all desktops in order to enable printing of barcode from their systems.

So, for printing barcodes on laser and dot matrix printers, additional software should be made available on all desktops.

Not True, new barcode technology does not need any additional software in the desktop. (Refer Introduction part [here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/wiki?path=/display/profile/newBarcodePrintinginSAPusingSmartforms])

What symbology you have used, did you check whether your scanner supports the used symbology?
