The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Printing to USB Zebra TLP 2844 Label Printer?

Asked by perkley in Delphi Programming

Tags: zebra, 2844, tlp, printer

I am using Delphi 7 and I want to print a label out on the Zebra TLP 2844 Label Printer.

I am wanting to use the EPL2 Language that it understands.

According to the Programming Manual it says that I can type 'Copy "Filename.ext" LPT1' or 'Copy "Filename.ext" Com1'.  This will print the file with the code to the printer.  However, I am using USB, so no port is found.  Now, I know it can be done because it comes with a program called "Create-a-Label 3" that prints to it no problem.

So, I tried something like this.

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  if PrintDialog1.Execute then
  begin
    RichEdit1.Print(Chr(10)+'N'+Chr(10)+'A50,0,0,1,1,1,N,"Example 1"'
      +Chr(10)+'P1'+Chr(10));
  end;
end;

which I choose the correct printer and it should print the language that it wants.  But it doesn't print correctly, instead it just ejects 1 label and sometimes it prints some weird character.

To have a better idea of what I am trying to do see this link:

http://support.zebra.com/cpws/docs/eltron/common/epl2_samp.htm

and Visual Basic examples: http://support.zebra.com/cpws/docs/eltron/common/vb_examples.htm

so now I just need to know how to do it in Delphi and get the printer to understand and print the label correctly.

Anybody have any ideas for me?  I would really appreciate it.
