HP SAP Smart Forms and Zeberea Print manual Text Objects

Driving Zebra Printers from Smart Forms

Text Objects

Smart Forms supports Zebra preloaded printer-resident scaleable fonts. It also supports TrueType font downloading and TrueType fonts stored in Zebra printer Flash memory. We strongly recommend that you use printer-resident fonts for simplicity and maximum printer throughput.

Western European—IBM CodePage 850

You will normally design your forms/labels for Zebra printers using the SAP “HELVE” font. This font maps to Zebra’s printer-resident “CG Triumvirate bold condensed” (IBM Codepage 850) when using device type ZlbzebsX.pri (X=2,3 or 6).

International Printing (EMEA Only)—Unicode™

SAP “HELVE”,”HELVECYR” (Cyrillic) and “HELVE_I7” (Greek) can also be used for international printing using Zebra’s ZlbzebsX.pri (X=2,3 or 6) device type. This Unicode UTF-8 device type maps to Zebra’s printer-resident Swiss 721 font. This is preloaded on all printers shipped in EMEA. This font is available for download FOC for other countries if required. This will allow you to print local languages using Unicode (UTF-8) even on non-Unicode SAP systems.

Global International Printing including APAC—Unicode

SAP end users wishing to print Asian characters on Zebra printers must use the SAP font ANDALE_J, ANDALE_K, ANDALE_S or ANDALE_T with the Zebra Device Type ZlbzebuX.pri (X=2,3 or 6) and the corresponding optional matching font card available from Zebra. Refer to the section on device types at the beginning of this document for more information. This will allow you to print local languages using Unicode (UTF-8) even on non-Unicode SAP systems.

Text Reversing

Text reversing is supported via Solid Boxes. Refer to “Tips and Tricks: Lines and Boxes”

(page 43) and also “Tips and Tricks: Printer Settings” (page 48) for detailed information.

TrueType Fonts

Smart Forms allows users to upload TrueType fonts and then use these fonts for the form/label design (See OSS Note 201307). TrueType fonts are uploaded using transaction SE73; see below:
