Printing Labels from SAP R/3 2009

images on the label, printing of

variable True Type text elements,

including Paragraph and RTF

objects, text justification and scaling

etc.

Support for printers from different

manufacturers

The labels are processed and printed

on-demand on the fly. You can

create the label layout once and use

it for printing to many printers.

The solution is set up and deployed

easily

A set of wizards and intuitive

approach to the workflow help you

set up and test the label printing

system in minutes.

Full support for GS1 - 128 bar

codes

NiceLabel processes the label data.

Because NiceLabel supports GS1 -

128 bar code generation, every

possible combination of Application

Identifiers is supported.

Unicode support There is a true Unicode support

available in NiceLabel software, so

you can create labels with Easter

European, Middle-Eastern and Asian

languages easily.

Disadvantages Description

PC needed for data detection and

label production

Additional PC is needed for

automatic data detection and label

production. NiceLabel software

(NiceLabel Pro and NiceWatch) is

installed on this computer. This adds

up to the overall costs (installation,

maintenance etc).

Printing from middleware The connection is not as tightly

integrated with SAP R/3 as with

upload method. There might be a

slight delay in label print because of

the external data processing and

printing.

Batch printing - JOB command files

Batch printing provides almost the same functionality as automated printing method. The major

difference between automated printing and batch printing methods is in the type of file prepared by

SAP R/3 system.

Automated printing method prepares a text file with data for the labels. NiceWatch needs to parse this

file to extract the values for fields on the label and send the values to NiceLabel Pro.

Batch printing method prepares a JOB file with description of label printing process. A JOB file

contains NiceCommands that exactly describe the printing process. NiceWatch detects the

appearance or change of the JOB file and starts the label production. NiceWatch does not have to do

anything except for following the NiceCommands in the JOB file.

With batch printing method there is another new possibility to skip NiceWatch entirely. SAP R/3 can

start NiceLabel Pro and provide the file name of the created batch JOB file in the command-line

options. When JOB file appears in the NiceLabel Pro command-line, the commands in the JOB file will
