The 2 printers use different command languages: 105SL = ZPL 2844 = EPL So the file for the 105SL will not work on the 2844. You would need a 2844-Z to be able to use the same file.

Your process seems to work but there maybe something wrong with the graphic. I tried your process with another BMP file and it worked ok.

Use >6 to change from subset C to B. Like this: ^BCN,214,Y,N,N^FD>;>831335678901234>6 ^FS >: is a start character, it's not for changing subsets.

The error message suggests you have some variable defined in your format that would not be available outside of ZDesigner, such as a Date field that ZDesigner would pull from the system. Any fields defined as counter fields, database fields etc. will prevent export to printer function from...

Try setting the cutter mode to 'Delayed Cut' using ^MMD and then sending ~JK when you want the cutter to cut. Also, check the Zebra website to make sure your printer has the latest firmware in case this feature is not in your version.

I think it never turns the cutter off because the ^MMT,N is not within ^XA ... ^XZ. Try changing to : </PageFooter> ^XA ^MMT,N ^XZ </LabelSchema>

The Field Block command (^FB) might work. This has a center justification option.

Zebra's label design software 'Zebra Designer' will probably do what you want. It is free from their website (not the Pro version) and supports JPG, BMP graphics files amonst others.

The font is stored in DRAM since this is what's specified in the ~DT command. R: is the DRAM memory. You could change this to store it permanently in the FLASH memory by changing it to E: ~DTE:FONT__,21124 ... You can use the following commands to get a list of just fonts that are stored in...

When the USB printer is plugged in and powered up, Win XP should run 'USB Printing Support'. You should be able to see this in the Device Manager under USB Controllers. This should be running before you install the driver for the printer. Do you see this in the Device Manager ?

The PSII is not a PCI card, it connects to the parallel port of the printer and can connect directly to a switch. It's powered by the printer and is DHCP enabled by default so just plug it in and go. Configuration is easy via web pages.

I don't see that problem. I would suggest setting the defaults on the printer and try the again. Set the defaults by holding down the feed button until the LED blinks 4 times.

The PrintServer II will work on both those models. I assume you mean LP2844, not LP2488?? Look at the PDF brochure on this page and see the compatibility matrix. http://www.zebra.com/id/zebra/na/en/index/products/networking/wired/zebranet_printserver_ii.html This only lists current models but...

You have the Label Length command set to 500 (LL500) which is 2.5". Change it to 160 and it should give you the 0.75" you want. Mark ^XA^MMC^MNN^MTT^PON^PMN^JMA^PR4,4^JUS^CI0^XZ ^XA ^LH0,0^LL160 ^BY2,3,70^FT425,100^B3N,N,,N,N ^FD12345^FS ^FO400,110^A0N25,25 ^FDCEMVAR1000X1000X20004FLHS^FS...

What printer models do you have ?
