| Full Abstract: | SAP previously did not support bar code label printers. SAP has extended the bar code design and printing of its Smart Forms design software. SAP added bar code support to Smart Forms by licensing and integrating bar code rendering technology from Zebra Technologies Corporation into the software, and by developing its first true bar code label printer drivers for mySAP Business Suite. The bar code printer driver supports only Zebra Programming Language (ZPL®) for its output. SAP now natively outputs PCL, Postscript®, and Prescribe for forms, and ZPL for labels. The capability to leverage the data integrity provided by SAP modules can now be realized by directly integrating bar code labeling into many common business processes, with the exact same tool—Smart Forms—used for any form printed on a laser printer. | |
