Finishing a POS application for a jewelry outlet. Need to print barcodes from the application to a ZEBRA thermal printer. It has a number of interfaces, including USB.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thank you

Hi Vincent

there are two ways of printing on a zebra, if I remember correctly.

1. you use their windows driver, in whihc case it's like printing on
anything else, including the use of the report editor

2. you want to print directly on them, using their internal language,
and in that case, you need to use the serial reading and writing
functions. This is clearly more complex, but allows for a much faster
printing, so depending of your volume, you may have to go there

Best regards

hi Vincent,

if you choose the second option ( use ZPL Language to print on your Zebra ) , you could install a Windows Generic Text Only driver connected to your printer ( usb or serial ) , and use iPrint() function with your ZPL code.

If your not famillar with ZPL Language, you can download ZPLDesigner on Zebra website, create your own label and print this label into a file. This file will contain the ZPL code for your label ;)
