Hello All,
Maximo 7118, BIRT, Oracle 10g, Websphere
We have a requirement to do label printing for inventory bin labels in
Maximo. Need to have report made available in Maximo that can print
labels in two different sizes (1 x 3.5 " or 4 x 6 "). Zebra 105SL
appears to be the common printer.
I saw there are quite a few historic postings in this forums on this
topic. I see people have had success using SQR, Actuate in previous
versions of Maximo.
Our requirement is to develop this report with BIRT. I would like to
know if any one had sucess in developing this report in BIRT.
Did you create a custom BIRT report template for this requirement? Are
there special considerations in designing this report that I should be
aware of?
Did you have any problem with barcode or printing the report to label
printer?
Thanks in advance,
Ramesh
Ramesh,
I used these PDF instructions I found on the internet and they worked
well. I am in Maximo 7.1.1.6. I needed to include an * at the
beginning and end of the string to be put in the barcode font to appear
correctly.
Hope this helps,
Bruce

The * on either side is the check digits for the 3 of 9 barcode, if that is what you are using, then yes, you need a * on either side.
If you are using a different type of barcode(UPC, Code 128, 2 of 8, etc.), you will need to find out how to generate the check digit for that specific barcode for it to work.

Thanks for the document Bruce. Are you using label printers to print these reports?
