I am sending commands to a Zebra QLn220 for it to print labels (naturally). I also have code, though, that assigns values to certain printer settings, such as: const string quote = "\""; string keepPrinterOn = string.Format("! U1 setvar {0}power.dtr_power_off{0} {0}off{0}", quote); string advanceToBlackBar = string.Format("! U1 setvar {0}media.sense_mode{0} {0}bar{0}", quote); string advanceToGap = string.Format("! U1 setvar {0}media.sense_mode{0} {0}gap{0}", quote); PrintUtils.SendCommandToPrinter(keepPrinterOn); if (radbtnBar.Checked) { PrintUtils.SendCommandToPrinter(advanceToBlackBar); }

I am having trouble producing and uploading graphics to an EPL2 printer. Having tired quite literally any pieces of software available and trawled the internet, I am at a loss. I have a 1 bit file which I try to upload with the following script.. setppi.txt GK"NAMEPCX" GK"NAMEPCX" GM"NAMEPCX"3042 and then upload with copy setppi.txt+ppirmt.pcx lpt1/b Has anyone with experience got any tips before I tear out what is remaining of my hair? I am almost certain that this issue is to do with the creation of the pcx but having tried all options, I am unsure as to my next step. Here's the way I found

Our business uses custom internal software to create shipping labels to be printed on large high-speed label printers. What options are available to developers (libraries, services, full-blown-software, etc.) for assisting in the process of creating a custom-formatted label and sending it to a dedicated label printer? More background information... Instead of using software provided by a shipping company (such as UPS or FedEx), our business uses our own internal software to create shipping labels to meet high demand at peak times of the year. Our current code to handle this process is in VB6

Is anyone know how to convert a image(such as *.bmp files) to HEX string in java,so the HEX string can used in the ^DG command(one of command in zpl).thanks! It's not easy. You have to convert the image to 1-bit per pixel b/w, and then calculate the size including the bytes per row, and then properly form up the parameters of the ~DG command to store it. Or... Zebra provides an API to convert images to GRFs (Zebra internal image type). There are a bunch of developer demos in the package, including a demo on how to print/store an image as a GRF on your printer Zebra Link-OS SDK download Hope

If I send the ZPL commands below to a Zebra printer, it prints AmitiÙ : ^XA ^FO50,20 ^CI7 ^A0N,25,15 ^FD Amitié ^FS ^XZ Note that the file encoding is ANSI . Note the use of the ZPL command ^CI7 (7 => Single Byte Encoding - France 1 Character Set). On the other hand, if I send the ZPL commands below to a Zebra printer, it prints Amitié (which is what I actually need to get): ^XA ^FO50,20 ^CI28 ^A0N,25,15 ^FD Amitié ^FS ^XZ Note that the file encoding is UTF-8 . Note the use of the ZPL command ^CI28 (28 => Unicode (UTF-8 encoding) - Unicode Character Set). Do you know what's wrong in the first
