通過tcp發送ZPL到打印機

Question

我正在將ZPL cmmands寫入打印機。通過TCP將ZPL發送到打印機是否有任何問題？

打印機沒有處理命令有問題嗎？

編輯*打印機會排隊工作嗎？

Answer 1

它很好用。這是article on Zebra's website。

打印機具有內存並將處理作業以便接收它們。所以它會排隊，但如果打印機關機，內存中的作業將會丟失。您可能還必須確保不超過打印機的內存。

Answer 2

實際上，我發現使用Windows打印隊列來做這件事更容易和更靈活。這樣你就不必依賴使用tcp/ip vs serial vs usb。您可以在Windows中以任何方式配置打印機，並將原始數據發送到打印隊列。請參閱下面的詳細信息：
