How to use FNC1 in an EAN 128 with EPL2 on an TLP2844

[vincenthh]

Hi, i have to send a EAN128 Code to my TLP2844 zebra printer using the EPL2 printer language. I know everything i need about the elements that i whant to send in the DATA parameter, but i don´t know the ascii sequence for the FNC1 Element? My manual says the printer is able to do this, but not how...

Has anybody done this before?

Thank you, Vincent

Hi,
I'm trying to concatenate several variables in a UCC-EAN128 barcode with EPL2. For example:
(94)12345678912345678(21)00000001

I found this page at "Zebra Knowledge Base" which gives a better understanding for code 128 than in the "EPL2 Manual":

https://support.zebra.com/cpws/docs/eltron/epl2/samp/code_128_fnc.htm

But there is no solution for UCC-EAN128.
What I have tried is the following:

1) Example:
B50,50,0,1E,1,6,120,B,"2100000001"
gives me the barcode: (21)00000001

2) Example:
B50,50,0,1E,1,6,120,B,F1"2100000001"
gives me nothing

3) Example:
B50,50,0,1E,1,6,120,B,"94123456789123456782100000001"
gives me: (94)123456789123456782100000001

4) Example:
B50,50,0,1E,1,6,120,B,"9412345678912345678"F1"2100000001"
gives me nothing

Has anybody an idea what I'm doing wrong?
Help is very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Hauke
