Label printing with Zebra QL320+

mssloan · Post by **mssloan** » Thu Jul 28, 2011 7:55 am

Hi,

I am trying to use Stimulsoft .Net to print to a label to Zebra QL320Plus label printer. Generating exactly the same label using two difference versions of Stimulsoft I get different results:

Version 2009.2.405.0

The label prints fine. Here is the header of the label printed to a file:
! 0 200 200 406 1
PW 479
TONE 0
SPEED 4
ON-FEED IGNORE
NO-PACE
BAR-SENSE
PCX 0 0

Version 2009.2.460.0

I just get two blank labels. Here is the header of the label printed to a file:
! 0 200 200 351 1
PW 588
TONE 0
SPEED 4
ON-FEED IGNORE
NO-PACE
BAR-SENSE
PCX 0 0
With this version, the label prints OK on other printers.

When previewed in the report viewer both versions of Stimulsoft show the label correctly. Why do the two versions print exactly the same label differently? Has this been recognised as an issue? If so, has it been fixed in the latest version? Can I get an explanation of these commands to the QL printer?

Regards,
mssloan

In the first post you have defined the printer settings. They slightly differ for different versions. Could you clarify me on these settings.

Thank you.

I don't know what these settings are. These are the files generated when I select print to file instead of print to the label printer. The header is different for version 405 (the only one out the versions I tested which work). All printouts were generated on the same PC with the same label printer driver. The only thing which was changed was the version of Stimulsoft. I could switch between versions and the only one which works is 405, even the though the label looks OK in preview on all versions and prints on other printers in all versions.
