SAP users design barcode labels using an intuitive label design software package such as BarTender Professional Edition or higher. They can define all fields that need to be filled in later by variable data from SAP applications. It automatically generates the SAPscript for SATO printers by exporting the ITF SAPscript file. The barcode labels can then be printed directly from the SAP system without additional processing.

SAP users make use of the graphical design capabilities of Smart Forms to conveniently add barcode and text styles and graphically layout label formats. The device driver and device type are compliant with all the requirements for device types defined in the SAP Printer Vendor Program.
Customers of SATO have been using this method to print to SATO printers from SmartForms. The projects have been successfully rolled out as global solutions worldwide. This solution allows better control over the printing results and supports printing in different languages.

The interface module for SATO XML-enabled 4.0 solution is certified for integration with SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure via the SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure-Device Controller Interface (All-DC-RFID) 7.1 integration scenario. The XML-based interface enables direct printing of RFID smart labels from non-SAP back-end system applications that transmit their print jobs natively in an XML data stream.
