A Zebra Technologies White Paper

Executive Summary

Producing bar code output from the SAP

environment has traditionally been a

challenge. The specialised, rugged printers used for printing bar code labels on

production lines, warehouses, shipping docks, and other industrial environments

use different command languages than the ofﬁce printers supported by SAP

software. Middleware or printer-speciﬁc SAPscript was always needed to get the

bar code printer to recognise SAP output.

In 2004, SAP simpliﬁed what formerly had been a complex task for its customers

by including native bar code printing capability in its software, and including a

true bar code printer driver for the ﬁrst time. The functionality is available for

mySAP™ Business Suite versions 4.6c and higher, included with Smart Forms,

and included in the new Interactive Forms product, which is based on Adobe

software co-developed with Adobe Systems. Interactive Forms is part of the new

SAP NetWeaver™ platform. The bar code printer control language SAP chose to

embed in its products is Zebra Printer Language (ZPL

) from Zebra Technologies.

That means Zebra

printers can print labels with data from SAP applications right

out of the box with no additional software, drivers, print servers or programming

required. ZPL joins PostScript

and PCL

as the only printer languages native to

SAP.

The following table summarises bar code output options available for different

versions of SAP.

There is no “right” or “best” way to output bar codes from SAP. The enterprise

IT and label printing environment and the desired label and forms output are all

variables that help determine the most appropriate method for your enterprise.

This white paper is intended to provide a high-level overview of the different SAP

bar code printing solutions offered by Zebra. Please refer to other Zebra white

papers listed at the end of this white paper for more detailed information about

each SAP printing application. Visit www.zebra.com/smartforms to keep abreast
