SAP: New version of the SAP QR code device type

In my original development of the SAP barcode device types based on the Barcode Writer in Pure Postscript (BWIPP) it was suggested to use the BWIPP ASCII85 encoded versions. The ASCII85 BWIPP versions can be found here. 

I do like the ASCII85 encoding method as it reduces the amount of code and therefore the size of the SAP device type.

The new device type also contains two extra print controls to cover some extra formatting options for smartforms. Read the SDN blog regarding the implementation and the comments section of the blog does contain some fixes for using the device type in smartforms.

Download link to the new QR code device type is here

The zip file contains file ZBWPQR2.PRI which is the ZBWPQR2 device type.
Follow the original QRcode blog but use the ZBWPQR2 device type

The main benefits are reducing the number of SAP Action pages required for the device type.
The actual reduction in size of the postscript sent to the frontend/printer.
The extra print controls covering Smart Form formatting.

The following extract is from the Barcode Writer in Pure Postscript page detailing all the supported barcodes. Using the same method any of these could be incorporated into an SAP device type. If you see any you would want to use in SAP then you could follow the SDN blog to create your own or let me know via the comments if you would want me to help out in creating any of the SAP device types.
