users can print labels directly from SAP/R3.

The advantage with this approach is that no PC is required for

label printing. Once the label is created, you do not need the label

designer any more.

However, there are several disadvantages. First of all, every label

printer is not suitable for label printing directly from SAP/R3 sys-

tem. SAP has certain limitations that the printer has comply to.

There is also limited support for graphics elements. Variable

graphics cannot be used at all. And only some printer models sup-

port printing of fixed images/truetype fonts. Variable text fields on

the label has to be set in internal printer fonts that usually do not

look as good as truetype fonts. Only prompted variables can be

used. Because the label design application is not present at print-

time, functions and advanced label elements cannot be used.

All variables on

the label have to

be prompted

User must be able to set their values before printing.

Date/Time variables have to acquire the data from the

printer clock not from PC system clock.

Support for func-

tions is limited

(Concatenate,

Subset, etc).

As PC labeling software is not available at print time, the

functions cannot be processed, so you cannot use them on

the label.

There are some exceptions, for example Export to Pocket
