Printing Labels from SAP on a Zebra Printer - how to rotate?

[Former Member]

I am using a Zebra printer (LP 2844) attached as a local printer to my workstation. I need to write a label to the printer. In order to do this correctly I must rotate the text 90 degrees. I am willing to use SAPscript or Smartforms. I have read that I need to set the value of S_LZPL_SETUP to '^FWR'. I don`t know Smartforms very well but I do have one writing to this printer. But I don`t know where to set the variable S_LZPL_SETUP so the direction is correct. Can someone help?

Thanks,

I tried to do this ether. But you can rotate it its possible. But the result you will get is that every item will rotate 90° but on the position it is in smartform.

NOT THE WHOLE SMARTFORM ROTATES only the items.

If you want to get the whole label rotates it is like a puzzle. I tried a while but never finished.

I haven't tried this personally, but from what I've read:

You can put in the smartform a COMMAND and then you will see Free Attributes of Spool Request grid:

Attribute Name Attribute Value

S_LZPL_SETUP '^FWR'

Put in your values there.

Hope it helps.
