Zebra Zpl Font Block (^fb) Command In Printer Code Template Export

Hello,

Is there a way in Bartender to have the ZPL export with the printer code template to use the Zebra ^FB command when using the Printer Code Template export?

 

Currently when I export the label to ITF or Zebra the ^FT font is used for font fields.

Example:

^FT400,90

^A0N,45,62^FN1^FS

...

...

...

^FN1^FD&ZZTVBDPL-ARKTX&^FS

 

 

What I need to have is a field block such that there is a boundary and the text will wrap if wider than the field width.

 

Example:

^FO466,59^A0N,56,49^FB930,2,0,C^FN987^FS

...

...

...

^FN987^FD&ZZTVBDPL-ARKTX^FS

 

 

 

^FO sets the field origin

^A is the font definition

^FB defines the font box

  The four parameters are 

    1) width of text block in dots

    2) maximum number of lines

    3) space between lines in dots

    4) text justification

 

 

I've tried with both a Template field name and single line and without a Template field name and a paragraph text type.

Thanks.

  Hello,

  Unfortunately, ITF export (Printer code template export) does not support paragraph (multi lines) text as template field, so you need to redesign the template to use multiple single line objects instead.

  For more flexible output with SAP integration, consider using Commander (Text data, IDoc or SAP AII), rather than ITF - see white papers below.

  (Basically, issue print order from SAP to BarTender, rather than upload ITF script to SAP)
