RE: [sqr-users] Bar Code Label Printing on Zebra Printers

["Paul Gengler" <Paul.Gengler@genmills.com>]

Thanks for your response.  I'm use the call system to send the print.  I've 
tried "PRINT", "TYPE", and "COPY".  The one thing I did not do is to close the 
output file using NEWPAGE. Just as an FYI,  let me describe the exact problem I 
am having.  The only problem I seem to be having is that the Zebra printer is 
not clearing memory in between each barcode printed.  So,  the first barcode 
prints just fine.  The second barcode prints the first barcode again,  and then 
prints the second barcode on top of the first.  The third barcode prints the 
first two barcodes,  and then prints the third barcode on top of them.  And so 
on . . . .   Do you think closing the output file would correct this,  and 
which system call would you use  - "PRINT", "TYPE" or "COPY"

Hi Paul,

Does your windows job use call system to send the print job off or does
the SQR finish and then you "manually" send the windows print job off?
If the Zebra printer is always used either from windows or the handheld,
a simple way to print would be to close the output file  while the SQR
is still running (new-report for print or close # for write) then issue
a call to windows to do the printing.  This should work in batch or from
your desktop.

Subject: [sqr-users] Bar Code Label Printing on Zebra Printers


I have developed an SQR to print bar code labels on a Zebra printer.
Using Windows to file print,  and selecting the Zebra printer,  the
labels print just fine.  I'm assuming Windows is calling the printer
driver associated with the target print device, and creating a print job
in the printer language (ZPL) of the Zebra printer.  However,  now I am
attempting to execute the SQR report via a batch file from a wireless
handheld,  and directing the output file directly to the Zebra printer.
The labels are no longer printing correctly.  I'm guessing what I need
to do is to emulate what happens when I print the labels via Windows.  I
am at a total loss on how to do that ?????
