Printing to Zebra printer that is default Windows printer

Question

I have defined a Zebra printer as a default printer on my Windows 7 machine. I have my ZPL code that I want to print:

"^XA^LH30,30^FO20,10^AFN,56,30^FDqwewer^FS^FO20,80,^B3N,Y,20,N,N^FD213004^FS^XZ"

Can you refer me to some example how I can send this thing to some default printer? And of course I want to print also the barcode. Thanks.

Answer 1

This approach worked for me with a TLP2844: How to send raw data to a printer by using Visual C# .NET.

Answer 2

If you go to the "Advanced Setup" tab of the Zebra printer driver, you can "Enable Passthrough Mode". Then, just ensure that your stream starts with ${ and ends with }$ Then the driver will not do anything to the stuff inbetween the ${ }$

should look like this:

${^XA^LH30,30^FO20,10^AFN,56,30^FDqwewer^FS^FO20,80,^B3N,Y,20,N,N^FD213004^FS^XZ}$

Answer 3

I haven't looked at it for a long time but I kept a link to this article. I imagine that it could help you in the right direction.

I decided to use ThermalLabel SDK for .NET from NeoDynamic instead of handling everything myself...
