Summary :
SAP Note provides details on implementing new barcode technology for SmartForms. It outlines the parameters for individual barcode symbologies such as Code39, Code128, and Interleaved 2of5, and their meanings. Special characters that may or need to be considered when transferring text data to barcodes are detailed. The note clarifies that these barcodes can be configured in SE73 and are device-independent, requiring no changes to device types or print controls. Suitable devices include PCL5, PostScript, Kyocera PRESCRIBE types, and others listed. Information on barcode names, symbologies, alignment, and specific character encodings is included without the requirement of printer-specific configurations.
