Zebra printer TLP 2844

Solved!
Go to solution

Hello.

 

I need to print a serial number using the zebra printer TLP 2844. I am connected through USB because I don't have Serial port nor parallel port.

 

I have been able to print my serial number using the Zebra printer tools (see the screen shot for more details) with the EPL Commands :
"N
B30,0,0,1,1,20,60,N,"13.10.123456.123456"
P1"

 

But now, I don't know how to do to send these EPL commands inside my CVI application ?

 

Thanks a lot.

Try by creating a plain text file with the command to be print and send it directly to the port. For example, using LPT1 you would need to write a command line like this: copy NameOfFile.ext LPT1. Try it for your COM Port.

Hello.

 

Thanks for your answer Victor.

 

Unfortunately, as I wrote. I don't have parallel port nor com port in my PC.

 

So the only way I can drive this printer is by USB....
