Zebra ZPL II language printing a pound sign
I'm trying to print a product barcode label using ZPLII language on a Zebra ZM400. This is working except I'm unable to print a pound sign (£) which prints as ü. This is the code I'm producing (this is written to a text file then copied to the printer port using a batch file):
^XA
^LH25,20
^FO25,10^A0,30,20^FDAuto Fade Light^FS
^FO260,45^A0,60,30^FD£20.0
^FO50,100^BY2,3^BE,70^FDA3
^PQ1
^XB
^XZ
^EZ
A dollar sign ($) prints fine. I think it's something to do with changing the code page sets but I have no idea how to do this. There is another post with the same problem https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/25100714/Can-not-print-sign-on-zebra-2844-printer.html but this has not been answered.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

A solution to printing the pound sign is shown at the bottom. Pay to read the article though. They are prefixing their commands with % instead of ^ and it isn't necessarily the same model printer as yours.

Ganesh, I suggest you open a new question. This is a very old question and not many people will be looking at it. Open a new one and you'll get more people looking at it.
