TechTip: Using Weintek HMI to Print a label on a Zebra Printer using Free Protocol
In this TechTip we’ll be looking at printing a label to a Zebra printer by sending the ZPL string to the com port or Ethernet port on the HMI. Zebra printers are increasingly popular in production and packaging and are highly configurable and able to print barcodes, QR codes, Data matrix codes etc. (for reference, the printer used in this demo was a Zebra GK420t.) This isn’t intended to be a lesson in the ZPL language, but we will run through the label string used for our demo: The code we’ll use for this label is below: We can preview Continue reading TechTip: Using Weintek HMI to Print a label on a Zebra Printer using Free Protocol
