How to print to Zebra GK420d label printer using ZPL passthrough mode from internet explorer 9
Is there a way to print out a simple pass through ZPL command in IE9?
I use Windows 7 IE8 x86 with the latest Zdesigner driver (v2.6.63.12) but now preparing the tansition to IE9 and a very basic feature of my web app is failing.
The pass through set in the printer driver properties.
I have a static HTML file containing only the below 1 line: ${^XA^BY3^FO140,150^BCN,100,N,N,N,A^FDJVGL0632341422706201^FS^XZ}$
In IE8 i just click on print and it prints a nice barcode to my only/default bar code printer, but not in IE9.
Any help is much appreciated.
Answer
Zebra has recommended to change the passthrough strings to
%( )% instead of the default.
In some cases it is also wise to add to the beginning of individual ZPL lines
"^FX " - being ^FX and a space, without the double quotes.
With these adjustments printing ZPL passthrough from IE9 using the Zdesigner driver is working.
