Introduction to mySAP Business Suite™ Zebra Device

Types

SAP AG created files, for mySAP Business Suite™, supplied with ZebraDesigner™:

ZLB_ZEB.PRI, S9162.CPA (for Scalable fonts - IBM™ CP850)

ZEBRA.FOR (Sample Form)

ZLB_ZEBU.PRI (for Andale and Swiss 721 fonts - Unicode UTF-8)

All versions of mySAP Business Suite™ later than 4.6d should use LB_ZEB rather than upload

ZLB_ZEB. This will avoid the need for code page migration.

All of the above files are placed in the ZebraDesigner™ program directory, C:\Program

Files\Zebra Technologies\ZebraDesigner for mySAP Business Suite

2\Support, during the installation process.

SAP has developed / configured multiple device types for Zebra printers. The difference

between these device types is the code page support. SAP has also developed other Zebra

device types for use with printing from SAP Smart Forms. These device types are not

compatible with ZebraDesigner™.

Western European / US Scalable Fonts - ZLB_ZEB.PRI and S9162.CPA (IBM

850)

This device type (ZLB_ZEB.PRI) and its associated IBM 850 code page (S9162.CPA) have

specially been developed for Zebra® printers and ZebraDesigner™. This device type should

be used for Western European character sets.

This device requires that you restrict your label designs to only use printer resident scalable

fonts supplied by Zebra or TrueType

fonts converted using the font downloader that ships

with ZebraDesigner™. This is especially important when using extended character sets.

This device type allows mySAP Business Suite™ to convert all data to IBM code page 850

before spooling it to the printer. SAP has also developed this custom code page to do the exact

mapping for Zebra. You can be assured that any extended European characters contained

within your mySAP Business Suite™ Database fields will print correctly with any internal

printer resident scalable font.

ZebraDesigner™ supports the Internal Zebra Scalable Fonts. CG Triumvirate Bold

Condensed is the default font supplied with all Zebra printers. CG Triumvirate and CG

Triumvirate Condensed are basically the same font as Arial® and Arial Narrow TrueType

fonts (also similar to Helvetica™).

Unicode Fonts

Zebra preloads the Unicode code page and supporting fonts into printers shipped to Europe,

the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) and offers the solution as a free option anywhere else in

the world. (Zebra and mySAP Business Suite™ both support the most backwardly compatible

form of Unicode, UTF-8.) The Swiss Worldtype font is standard on Zebra printers, supports

936 Unicode characters, and can output all major EMEA languages. Worldtype Andale fonts

are required for APAC language support and can be purchased as an option on PC Cards

(PCMCIA format) or as a downloaded font.
