Copy text file to usb zebra printer

First time using ZPL, I was googling my question but nothing so far.

I have downloaded the ZPL II programming language pdf file, and try to print the first sample:

^XA
^FO50,50^ADN,36,20^FDTesting^FS
^XZ

I already create the txt file with above code, but when trying to "Copy" to the printer nothing happens.

by copying to the printer I found this: copy printtest.txt usb1 or copy printtest.txt > usb1

but that doesn't work.

I got a Zebra Printer Model S4M, connected thru usb: port: USB001 description: Virtual printer port for usb

Any help will be appreciated.

Solution

  • its pretty simple to get it to print... firstly share your printer copy the the file to the shared printer path example \Zebra1

    i found some VB code i used a while back hope it helps

                Dim tempFile As New IO.StreamWriter("Name of file")
            Dim PrnPath as string ="\\MY-PC\Zebra"
            IO.File.Copy(tempFileName, PrnPath, True)
