[RBASE-L] - RE: FW: Label Printing with Zebra LP2844

[Dawn Oakes]

John Not familiar with Zebra "line mode" as opposed to any other mode that printer may offer.  My guess is that's part of your problem.  I use both Seiko and DYMO label printers with no trouble.  However, I remember that some of the labels were converted from prior DOS versions where we had variables set with printer control codes (like vname = <27 52 03>).  Those were causing odd ascii characters to print on the labels.  Check your driver too.  Dawn From: John Dew [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 07, 2004 2:19 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - FW: Label Printing with Zebra LP2844 Have just purchased a Zebra label printer and am having difficulty printing standard text labels (not bar codes)  from Rbase 6.5++ (version 1.866)     I have set the printer to "Line Mode"     PRNSETUP 'Zebra LP2844' OUT PRINTER LBLPRINT test              (test being a form that displays ok on the screen) OUT SCREEN   The label prints ok but with each label I get the following   JF q832 q832 q036 0   followed by the correct label text   Is there any simple way of suppressing these Ascii (?) Characters?   Is there another 2" to 4" label printer that I should be looking at that is more compatible with RBase?     Many Thanks   John Dew Regis Pictures & Frames Ltd Tel 604 327 3447 ext 24 Fax 604 327 5223 Mobile 604 649 5759 Email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
