Printing Labels from SAP R/3 2009

NiceDrivers are in constant development and new versions are released frequently. They can be used

free of charge and are available for download from the NiceLabel website. For more information and

latest updates visit the NiceLabel website at

NiceMemMaster

NiceMemMaster is the utility used to download TrueType/Type 1 and similar fonts and graphics to the

printer's internal memory, FLASH memory, external memory cards, etc. NiceMemMaster is also very

useful when your label contains variable text elements formatted in True Type fonts, or when you want

to use variable graphics on the label. Such True Type fonts and images behave like resident elements

and can be downloaded to the printer's memory.

When you print labels from SAP R/3 using the Upload method

some limitations apply to the label

design. Because NiceLabel in this printing mode is not available at print time, all variable elements on

the label need to be installed on the printer. Usually, this means using only internal printer fonts. But

with NiceMemMaster you can break this barrier. You can download True Type fonts to the memory

card that can be used as internal fonts.

For more information about NiceMemMaster please refer to the NiceLabel Suite documentation.

NiceWatch

NiceWatch is an integration middle-ware. It is an event-driven application monitoring and detecting

many different formats of incoming data that can trigger a start of label production. NiceWatch also

makes the label production from non-windows applications possible. In most cases, data is exported

from external or non-windows applications and saved to a text file that is intercepted and parsed by

NiceWatch. However, the text file is only one possibility for data exchange. Other trigger methods are

also available.

Label printing with data from SAP R/3 is possible with NiceWatch. SAP R/3 prepares all necessary

data to be used on the label. NiceWatch detects the data, uses it on the label and triggers the label

production.

For more information about NiceWatch please refer to the NiceLabel Suite documentation.

NiceCommands

NiceCommands represent commands that can be used for automated label production.

NiceCommands must be written one per line in the batch file (JOB file). Label production can be

started from NiceLabel, NiceWatch or directly from a command line.

For more information about NiceCommands please see the NiceLabel User Guide.

Explained later in the document. Refer to the chapter Upload Method on page 5
