3 Barcode Overview
The use of usage of bar codes on mass products is widely known. They can be found on nearly all articles in the local supermarket. They are used for automatic product recognition. Therefore it is not necessary to recognize any individual items. So all identical products share the same barcode. But bar codes can also be used to distinguish individual articles or documents. This requires the production of individual bar codes on demand as part of the printing process. As many documents are printed from within windows it is a requirement for many users to print barcodes from their windows application. Windows printing is always done through a device driver that is supplied from the printer vendor. This driver has uniform interface to the windows side. The principle advantage of this interface causes problems, as barcodes are not part of the interface. Neither the interface definition nor windows do take care about barcodes. So even if the printer could print barcodes by itself, the windows interface does not allow requesting them. You can buy programs, which produce barcodes by printing graphics. But they do not allow you to integrate these barcodes automatically into your document. You have to do some (electronic or mechanical) clipping for each document. You can also buy barcode fonts. But they are limited to simple barcodes and you have to compute the checksum in your application, which is often not possible at all. Without checksums barcodes are rather risky to use. You can also not adapt the printing process to your physical output device. This is often required to produce optimal barcodes as every printing system has is own characteristics. What is the solution? Our PCL Barcode Server is the perfect solution for applications, which are aware of barcodes. The application has just to insert the barcode print command with the data and the PCL Barcode Server will integrate the barcode into the current document. The PCL Barcode Server does also generate checksum and caption automatically on demand. You can specify the size of the barcode and even the individual relationship of bars and gaps. SAP System R/3 supports our PCL Barcode Server since version 3.0. It allows you to print barcodes on all printers which are supported by the SAP device types HPLJ4 and HP5MI. The PCL Barcode Server is available on Linux, HPUX, AIX and Windows 95/98/2000/NT. The configuration of the PCL Barcode Server is done from within the SAP system. e-bizco.com GmbH supplies two PCL Barcode Server: The 1D Classic version supports all one-dimensional barcodes like code 39 and 2 of 5 interleaved. The 2D Plus version also supports two-dimensional barcodes like Data Matrix, PDF 417 or Code16K. If you want to print barcodes on any windows printer: We also offer the Barcode DLL for SAP that prints bar codes on any windows printer.

5 Printing barcodes from the SAP system

5.1 PCL Barcode format
PCL is a printer language, used on HP laserjets and other printers. It is widely adopted across the industry. All barcode printer command sequences begin with an escape character ( hex value 1B, visualized as <ESC> ) and two command characters, which select the command group. One or more parameters and a command character follow these. Examples: Command <ESC>(s24670T <ESC>(s1P <ESC>(s5,10B Result Select barcode Code 39. (s is the command group, 24670 is the parameter to the command T Select No annotation. (s is the command group, 1 is the parameter to command P. Defines the bar width to be 5 and 10 pixels.

Parameters are numeric, commands are represented by a letter. Uppercase letters terminate a printer command sequence, lowercase letters indicates another parameter and command will follow: Command <ESC>(s1p24670T Result Select barcode Code 39 with no annotation, (s is the command group. 1p is the first command, 24670 the second command. Select barcode Code 39 with no annotation. The small bar is 5 pixel wide, the thicker bar is 10 pixel.

PCL Barcode Server PCL Barcode Server for SAP R/3

Page 23 Page 23

Barcodes are composed of bars with different width. You can specify the width of the smallest bar as the first parameter to the B command. The width of the next wider bar can be specified as the second parameter. If the barcode has more than two barcode width, the next values are computed automatically. Example: <ESC>(s6,12B will set the bar width to 6 and 12 pixels.

5.1.5 S Gap Width

Barcodes are composed of bars and gaps of different width. You can specify the width of the smallest gap as the first parameter to the S command. The width of the next wider gap can be specified as the second parameter. If the barcode has more than two barcode gap width, the next values are computed automatically. Gap width will normally follow the corresponding bar width. Example: <ESC>(s6,12S will set the gap width to 6 and 12 pixels.

5.1.6 V Bar Height

The height of a regular bar is specified. The height is given in 1/72 inch. Example: <ESC>(s36V will set the bar height to inch.

5.1.7 Horizontal and vertical Position

The horizontal and vertical position is set using usual PCL positioning commands, e.g. <ESC>&a100h200V will position the cursor at 100 deci points horizontal and 200 deci points vertical.

5.1.8 EAN 128 / Code 128 Parameters

EAN 128 and Code 128 allow these special characters to signal functions: FNC1 FNC2 FNC3 FNC4 Decimal 129 (Hex 81) Decimal 130 (Hex 82) Decimal 131 (Hex 83) Decimal 132 (Hex 84)

These characters are embedded into the barcode data.

The code PDF417 will use the P command to specify the security: Value 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Number of bytes added for security and error correction: 2 4 8 (Default) 16 32 64 128 256 512

Values of 1000 to 1400 indicate a relative security of 0 to 400 % of the data. The exact security level will be computed automatically. The B parameter [ Esc(s#1,#2,#3,#4B ] specifies the maximum number of row and columns for the PDF 417 code. # 1 2 3 4 Usage Row count Column count =0: row and column count are maximum values (default) =1: row and column count are the desired row and column counts. =0: Standard PDF 417 (default ) =1: Truncated PDF 417

5.1.11 Barcode termination

After a barcode font is selected, printable text is collected until a termination character is found. Termination characters are CR (hex 0D, carriage return), LF ( hex 0A, line feed), FF (hex 0C, form feed) or ESC (hex 1B, Escape). Number only barcodes are terminated by SP (hex 20, space) also. Whenever a barcode is terminated, the collected data is converted into the corresponding barcode and printed on the page. If more printable characters are following after the termination character, a new barcode starts. Empty barcodes with no printable data are suppressed. Example: <ESC>(s4p100h40v10,20b10,20s24700THELLO<ESC>0NWORLD<ESC>(s3T This creates two separate barcodes.

5.1.12 Rotation
The barcode can be rotated using the regular PCL rotation command: <ESC>&a#P with # = 0,90,180 and 270.
