Bar Code & RFID Label Printing: Options for Printing from SAP

Oct 14, 2013Generating bar-code and RFID labels from the SAP environment is not always a straightforward process. The various versions and generations of SAP solutions are oriented to document printing, and do not offer native support for most specialized thermal printers used for bar-code and RFID labeling. This document, from Intermec, profiles the SAP output options for such printers, providing an overview of the five primary methods of producing bar-code and RFID labels from the SAP environment (direct connection, SAPscript programming, XML printing, printer emulation and middleware). It explains which of these options are available for SAP R/3, SAP AII and SAP Business Suite users, and details how Intermec supports each method.
