I have followig task:
I am generating sequence of consecutive barcodes eg: 117-1, 117-2, 117-3, 117-4...
I have to print labels with those barcodes: first label with first code, second label with second code and so on.
Currently I am printig labels one-by-one. Is it possible in ZPL to combine multiple labels to one command for printer? Something like:
^header
print first one
take next label
print second one
take next label
...
^footer
I am generating ZPL so there is no need to introduce variables in ZPL.
My current code for printing single label
string zpl = string.Format(
@"^XA
^LH5,5
^CF0,129
^FO20,10
^FB800,4,,C
^FD{0}
^FS
^FO160,150
^FB800,1,,C
^BY3
^BCN,150,N,N,N
^FD{0}
^FS
^XZ
", code.ToString());
You can concatenate ZPL files to merge several labels into one.
Untested code would be something like this, if I understand your requirements:
String template = "^XA^LH5,5^CF0,129^FO20,10^FB800,4,,C^FD{0}^FS^FO160,150^FB800,1,,C^BY3^BCN,150,N,N,N^FD{0}^FS^XZ";
String zpl = String.format(template, code.toString());
zpl += String.format(template, code2.toString());
...and so one, or use a loop
