Anyone could helps or give solutions what's best to do in linking windows form application using C#.Net to barcode printer machine Zebra TLP2844 ? Some says had to use ZPL language to barcode machine, some says used sending raw data to the machine. When I've investigate using ZebraDesigner Pro as barcode printer designer application, it can be linked to database with field selection on specified database. The database can be recognized such dBase, Access and Excel file. Since our application used SQLServer2008R2, it must be converted to Excel file. But that software designer can only be used for 30days trial.
Now I'm bit confused How the application can generate barcode ID from win form ? Any helps, solutions or do I have to create other class functions in linking win form application to Zebra barcode printer type TLP2844?
Thanks in advance.
regards, ikadewi

I have always just sent Raw data to the zebra printers using a filecopy "C:\printebuffer.txt" \uncprinterpath type command to just push the raw data to the port.
Here's a link to the zebra page where you can get manuals. http://www.zebra.com/us/en/support-downloads.html There are some sample label buffers there. Usually you can create a 'template' for your main label and just change the data that you need to change on the fly. Hope this helps.
