Programmer
I just received a new printer we ordered few weeks ago "brady 200 MVP" it a special printer that only purpose is to print label "Serial Number, void waranty ..."
We were suppose to use this printer in conjonction with BAR ONE a software made by Zebra but since the software is not user friendly and that the user that are going to print the label are not familiar with computer I've been asked to write a new program in access. now that the program is nearly over I encounter some problem when I want to print labels. "if I shutdown and put the power back on for the printer or computer before using my access program, when I press print button the labels will come out with nothing on them "like with the feed option", but if I use BARE ONE right before then it will print the stickers correctly"
what I mean is that I can wait hours without printing stickers, if before that time I used Bar One and I didn't reboot the computer or printer, the stickers will comes out correctly. if I closed and open the printer or computer the stickers will comes out blank.
this shows that the code I have yet is not the problem but rather something that comunicate between the computer and printer.
here is the code I have so far
Data1 = "^XA" & _
"^FO89,20^A0N,25,18 ^FDWaranty void if removed^1,1^FS" & _
"^FO93,45^A0N,24,17^FDGarantie Annule si enleve^1,1^FS" & _
"^FO117,75^AB^FD" & SNum & "^1,1^FS" & _
"^PQ3,0,1,Y^XZ"
Open "LPT1:" For Output As #1
Print #1, Data1
Close #1
the Data1 string contain instruction in ZPL language that I have to send to the printer.
tnx for you help
