Hi all,

I have created a page that automatically generate a bunch of barcodes for me, I can print them out on a regular printer just fine, but I am wondering, how can I get it so that it will print on a Zebra barcode printer? Is there a special programming language I need to use? I have only worked with ASP and am very new to barcode printing, any advise is highly appreciated, thanks!

Hey JoJoH

I have a system running on Zebra printers now for tagging assets for my company. The printers are LP 2844-Z models.

Basically you don't have to worry about languages or such. The printer is just as any other printer. It will print what you send to it. I set the printer up on our print server so the drivers would not be an issue and then simple used 3of9 fonts (free barcode fonts). All you need to do is set the font type to the 3of9 font and then write the text out as you want it and send it to the printer.

It sounds like you have the hard part done already in getting the barcodes out so sending them to the printer will only need the correct drivers installed in order to talk to it
