Hi All

 

I’m trying to help a C/S site setup their Datamax 4208 printer to print 2D barcodes from Pharmacy.  We downloaded the sample reports posted by Androscoggin (Thanks Howard!), and they are getting NO printing or the line of text with the printer control codes.

 

They have also tried to setup the printer in the Universe Direct, but it wont appear at their NPR Prompt, only in Pharmacy.  

 

I’m a Magic guy, so I know we are missing something here, but not what.

 

Anyone have some thought or some things for us to look at?

I don’t know what the fragment looks like, but as a first step make sure that the UNV Printer Model is set to GENERIC, and the printer driver on the Print Server is set to Generic / Text Only.

Our 2 Pharmacy Label printers are not on the printe servers at all. They
are only set up in the Universe with their Network name being their
actual IP address using Port 9100.
Non-Windows Socket Connection is set to Y
Printer Model is FARGO.

We are 5.07 pp3 but these were written 3 year ago in 6.05. Of course PHA
is still basically CS. The printers are Older Datamax E class. Not the
O'Neil variety. I'm wondering if that is the issue. I had occasion to
play with an O'Neil version and found the ESC codes were not exactly the
same. I think the Barcodes printed but the Lines and sizes were totally
different.

The detail is PHA.RX Detail Segment is main.

This is the macro with comment help on programming the Escape codes:

I will try to send a shorter report with just the 2d barcode and Pt and
drug info that we use for pts own med labels for those who are up for
the challenge. I haven't had much luck sending reports as they get
caught in the HIPPA corral and end up needing passwords.

Darn there goes the O'Neil Theory... Our 2 PHA Printers are Datamax
4204. I was able to get an O'Neil 4205 and it worked fine on that as
well. Perhaps the 4208 has some printer programming differences. I do
know there are different printing modes you can choose. Darned if I
remember 3 years ago when we set them up. I'll check that out and get
back to you.

Just took a quick look at the I series on the internet. In the Menu
System - Displayed Item - ESC Sequences would have to be enabled in
order for anything in the Macro to print. If they are not enable, the
data and bar codes will not print.

I do not know if there are programming differences with this printer. If
I get time I might cruise to find a programming manual... but if the
user has access to the programming manual, their should be enough info
in the macro to make the necessary changes.

Thanks,

Howard

Thanks everyone for your help.

I was able to assist the site last night getting the C/S Pharmacy Labels to print with 2D Barcodes. The hangup was in setting up all the printers as generic and then running the Refresh Printers process in the universe. And much thanks Howard for sharing your pharmacy labels, very nice work.
