(SMARTFORMS) ZEBRA printer - Data Matrix (RS, GS and EOT)

Hey together,

I’m using a Data Matrix on my Label and print it to a ZEBRA printer (Model: Zebra 220xi4, SAP type: LZEB3).

This works quite well.

I compile the content of the barcode in the SMARTFORMS form.

The Data Matrix requires some ASCII control characters (RS, GS and EOT).

Name            Char           Dec          Hex         Description

EOT              ^D          04                04             End of Transmission

RS                   ^^                    30                1E           Record Separator

GS                   ^]                    29         1D           Group Separator.

Example:

[)>RS06GSF01001PGS1JUN1234567890123456GS12546RSEOT

I’m using for the control characters:

RS           =     \x1E

GS      =     \x1D

EOT        =     \x04

The control characters are not interpreted by the printer but instead printed in plaintext.

Can you help me and tell me how the control characters must be expressed to be recognized by the Zebra printer?

Thanks,

Jessie
