Re: ZEBRA printers and Barcodes

[Pragya Chandra <pchandra@FASTENAL.COM>]

We use Zebra printers to print Labels etc...and here is a sample of the code
we use...we can't just use Print commands to print to it...I used the Zebra
printer manual to find these codes.  I write these codes to a file and then
print the file.

!Generate Labels:Prints labels.It only prints Address lines if they are not

!                              blank.
