Use

This Customizing activity describes how you can create bar codes for your labels. The bar codes are specified on the label template and then generated on the WWI server with the help of the bar code library and positioned.

SAP does not ship a bar code library, but instead provides an interface that can be implemented by any manufacturer. This means you first have to purchase a suitable bar code library and install it on your WWI server. For more information about the required interface and details on manufacturers of bar code libraries, see SAP Note 25344.

Once the bar code library has been installed, the WWI server can integrate it and generate bar codes for labels.

Requirements

  • You have installed the Microsoft Windows operating system as x86 or x64 architecture on the WWI server. You can find information on the architecture in the system environment of Microsoft Windows.
  • The bar code library is used with a WWI server. For this, you have installed and configured a WWI server as of SP 31. You do this by carrying out the Customizing activity Configure WWI Server for Print Request Generation.

Standard settings

Activities

The manufacturers provide the bar code library for both versions (x86 and x64) in the form of a setup kit. If you have any questions, contact the manufacturer of the respective bar code library.

  1. Execute the setup kit. This installs the bar code library in the correct directory.
  2. Specify SAPSprint as the transfer program for print output using Microsoft Windows.

When the bar code library is installed, the file path of the bar code library is added to the environment parameters of Microsoft Windows. This enables the WWI server to access the bar code library and use it to generate bar codes.

If the manufacturer's setup kit proceeds differently, you can copy the installed bar code library (for x86: Barcode.dll and for x64: Barcode64.dll) manually to the WWI directory. The WWI server will then integrate these bar code libraries directly.
