I'll have to print a label using a Zebra printer. I'm looking at the documentation and the Zebra language (one of four, it seems) is a 1590 page document... Apparently, the string for printing my name would look as follows:
^XA
^FO50,50^ADN,36,20^FDSander Rossel
^FS
^XZI don't think I'm prepared for this :wtf:

Doesn't look so hard. I have no idea about Zebra, but by my educated guessing I'd say ^XA and ^XZ enclose the document to be printed, and ^FD and ^FS enclose a single string to be printed. The rest probably indicates stuff like the font to be used and it's properties, such as size and style. I've seen worse. *shrug*
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

:yawn: :D How about programming for DEC LA-120 printers? And storing the codes in the SYSDEVCTL library?

Oh, sure. It's the programming equivalent of building a bridge with no data on the thickness of the iron bars, the quality of the cement, etc. Great fun - until it all collapses. /s

Don't they have drivers? That's why the concept of a printer driver was invented - so you don't have to send a different set of bytes to each device to get it to output text for you. This is a rhetorical question. Obviously they don't or you wouldn't have this headache. However, you might find that someone has written some code to simplify this. I don't even want to start down that rabbit hole. I have enough weirdness going on.

Never had a problem with Zebra Printer. Simply installed it on windows and used the standard printer forms to print the labels :confused:
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question Chemists have exactly one rule: there are only exceptions

I think the last time I worked on a Zebra printer (or something that looks similar to what you posted) was around the 1980's when I was writing a custom print routine on a Commodore 64!

Label printers are the bane of our existence. Every manufacturer has their own proprietary printer language. You would think that in today's world they'd all be using Postscript. There's a lot of off the shelf software that will take a label design and generate the correct instructions for the label printer. What are you trying to do that requires you to dive into the coding of the label?
