Zebra Label Printer

Hello,

Our company want to use some Zebra label printers. This printer has it's own language ZPL, so I think it is not possible for JDE to print the output immediately. ( has to be PCL or postscript)
It's not on option to view PDF and then Print.

Has someone a quick solution for this. ( the best without 3rd party software)

And maybe also have a solution to print the batches created by scheduled jobs??

Regards,

Hi Ronald

The same question came up about 5 months ago. At that time I replied:

"About a year ago, I created the UBE for a label print program for a client I was working at the time. I can't recall the exact ER, but what I do remember, was that it was of the utmost importance to include the correct character expressions for size, font and opening anc closing commands into the variables (as per the manual of the zebra printer).
This required quite a long sequence of concatenations. In the end though the UBE worked perfectly and all label output was correct."

I realise this is not a full answer to your question, but I do believe it is possible to print directly to a Zebra printer, providing all required character strings are included in the UBE output.

Good luck

Hello,

Thanx for your reply, but can you be a little more specific, i don't exactly know what you mean. Do you send special characters to the printer??

Thanx in advance,
Ronald
 
Hi Ronald

It has been quite a while, but I do recall that all I needed to do was to concatenate the variables with beginning strings and ending strings. It's a bit like in the General section of this forum where starts bolding and finishes bolding. From memory you needed to set up the printer as a PCL printer, but once again it has been a long time, so maybe any of the other forum users might have a more recent experience.

Unfortunately, my experience is not more recent; however, I do recall
doing the same thing you are describing. There were specific character
strings that I embedded into the output specs of the label program. The
Zebra manual had all the details - we read it right from the book. In
the end, the labels printed perfectly.
