Sample code for printing barcode labels on Zebra printers using ZPL II

[MegaSadq]

G'Day

I've done this in a previous life, but being a lazy sod, wondered if anybody had any recent examples of the basic code (any flavour) to initiate this from a MV platform to save me looking through the ZPL II programming manual.

Thanks in advance

What are you trying to do? I've got a lot of experience printing to Z4Ms
through D3. :)

Look at the manual, or pay someone else - at some stage you will need to refer to manual to get layout for whatever you are trying to achieve "right" from pure basic code (which is why I use Visage.Reporter for this sort of thing so I can just use a WYSIWYG stag drag & drop interface to design tickets or whatever & then fire off production with a single execute statement from D3)

      for i = 1 to no.lb

        ypos = 10

        print "^XA"

        for ii = 1 to 5

          print "^FO10,":ypos:"^ADN,36,20^FD":TEMP.REC<i,ii>:"^FS"

          ypos += 50

        next ii

        print "^XZ"

      next i

The code above loops through TEMP.REC and prints 5 lines of data per label. ^XA is beginning of label, ^XZ is end of label. ^FO{x,y,z} is field origin, it sets the position on the label and optional justification. ^A selects your font. ^FD to ^FS defines the string to print.
