Print to Zebra TLP2844 using concatenate strings

[Lennie]

Hi,

Is it possible to use a concatenate string to print to the Zebra TLP 2844 label printer? I have set up my templates using ELP in a constant and they print off fine but now I need to be able to allow the user to enter information each time the program is run. I have split the code up into a concatenate strings and added controls but now the label won't print. I have checked the ELP code and it seems fine. Do I need to add a line feed constant after ever line after my control "? Any ideas are much appreciated.

There shouldn't be a problem to do this. Have you looked at the output of the concatentate stirng? Is it similar to the constant you have?

[Lennie]

Yes. The outputs are identical apart from the controls which I have added. I do not get an error of any sort, it just dosen't print.

EPL is picky about the end of lines. I would make sure that you are terminating each command line with a line feed. It will ignore the carriage return if it is included. The important part is that each command must be on its own line.
