Xerox WorkCentre 7556 cannot print barcodes

[alquiroz]

We recently upgraded from a 7232 to a 7556 and lost the ability to print barcodes from SAP. We were using the Global PCL v2.1 driver on the 7232 and also using the same for the 7556.

Instead of printing barcodes, it prints the numbers.  Please help!

Try the specific driver for the device to see if you can recreate the issue. If you can then I suggest a call into the Xerox Support Center to escalate this issue.

hello.

I'm not quite sure yet but I think PCL6 does not support Barcode printing.

Looking for documentation that support this thought.

hope it helps.

Have you set the global driver to the correct printer?

You can change this in Properties -> Options -> Configuration.

If so, I suggest updating the driver or installing latest PCL/PCL6 driver for the 7556 instead.

Intelligent barcode printing – available with Xerox SAP PostScript and PCL Intelligent Barcode Solutions

This should work with PCL, as documented in the SAP enviroment overview.

PCL 6 = A dual interpreter consisting of PCL 5e or PCL 5c and PCL XL

Dont you actually need to have the correct "SAP Device Type" for the printer?

Instead of printing barcodes, it prints the numbers? Strange!!! I have been creating barcodes in my work for years. But I never encounter such a issue. What do you mean by printing the numbers? The barcode can only encode numbers info? As I am not quite sure about this question, I suggest you read some professional barcode creation guide passages. They may be helpful.
