QuestionBarcode commands to Zebra printer Pin
Randy Crockett1-Jun-17 13:34
Randy Crockett1-Jun-17 13:34 
I have a Zebra printer that I need to send a character array to, so that it generates a barcode.
I have text and font maping working, by using a RichTextBox and using the Windows PrintDialog.
To send a barcode, I need to send something like this: "^XA^BY8,0^FT124,209^BON,8,N,0,N,1,^FDBase Material^FS^XZ"

The Printer is on a USB port ("USB002") and does not take the SerialPort.Open() command.
Here is my code, which works for other items on USB if I set the SerialPort.PortName = "COM1", just doesn't work for this printer...I'm out of ideas:

Try
                SerialPort1.Open()
                If Me.SerialPort1.IsOpen() Then

                    Dim buf(Command.Length) As Byte
                    For i As Integer = 0 To (Command.Length - 1)
                        buf(0) = Asc(Mid(Command, 1, 1))
                    Next
                    ' send to Printer
                    Me.SerialPort1.ReadExisting()
                    Me.SerialPort1.Write(buf, 0, Command.Length())

                    ' wait for response
                    Dim ReturnValue As Integer = -99999

                    Dim start_time As Integer = My.Computer.Clock.TickCount
                    Do Until (Me.SerialPort1.BytesToRead >= 8 Or DemoMode = True)
                        If My.Computer.Clock.TickCount > start_time + 1000 Then
                            DemoMode = True
                            MessageBox.Show("Printer Meter Timed Out")
                            Return ReturnValue
                            Exit Function
                        End If
                    Loop

                    Dim Results As String = Me.SerialPort1.ReadExisting()
                    Dim length = Results.Length()
                    If length < 8 Then
                        MessageBox.Show("Bad Value Sent To Printer")
                        Return True
                    End If
                End If
            Catch ex As Exception
                MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString())
            End Try
