We are trying to set up a ZEBRA printer on a twinax conection it auto configured itself as a 4214. The problem we are having the printer never recives the ASCII command string to start printer. When we set the Printer to diagnostics mode and get a HEX dump of what prints we recieve a Blank of HEX value of 20 ever were we should be getting a ^ to begin the ZPL comand string. Has Anyone done this before on an AS400, Were do we put the string in the out specs? or do wedo some sort of override print file command?

Using the ZPL language from AS400
We have a ZEBRA printer and write to it from an AS/400 but it is setup as a network printer, not as twinax device. Just a thought, precede every record written with a blank character in the first byte, then have the rest of your string from byte 2 onward. HTH Phil -

We have similar "bar code" printers and the BEST solution is to get T.L. Ashford's product. It's very good and the people there are wonderful.chuckOpinions expressed are not necessarily those of my employer."John Bartlett" <John_Bartlett@forums.midrangecomputing.com> wrote in message news:1ee404dd.-1@WebX.WawyahGHajS...We are trying to set up a ZEBRA printer on a twinax conection it auto configured itself as a 4214.

John,I take it that you have designed programs to send the data? If so, your printer files must have the RplUnPrt(*No) option set. The default is yes, which means to replace all unprintable characters with a blank. You can either CrtPrtF, OvrPrtF, ChgPrtF this change.BillWe are trying to set up a ZEBRA printer on a twinax conection it auto configured itself as a 4214.
