Subject: [U2] Epson DLQ3500 dot-matrix printer

Hi,



Does anyone have any experience of  printing barcodes on Epson printers?

We have an Epson DLQ3500 dot-matrix printer (in fact we have bought
loads of them for Poland).

They use a command language called Esc/p. We just cant figure out the
syntax to use from the manuals.

We have googled everything, tried Easylabel etc, and still can get it to
work.

What we really need is a sample of someone's code who did it before, in
any language...



Thanks

Andy

Andy,
Here's the documentation you  need. I've written routines to do 
this but I have nothing to hand at this time. Sorry. I hope this helps 
enough.

http://www.epson.co.uk/support/manuals/pdf/ESCP/Part_1.pdf (Page 
nine has an excellent summary of commands)

I can't tell you whether that particular Epson has built-in support for 
barcodes; that is, a barcode font. Some dot matrix printers do, although 
it can be laborious to set up space translation, check digit generation, 
etc.

[AD] We have a program, Print Wizard, that can generate 15 kinds of 
barcodes on any Windows-supported printer. Barcodes are specified with an 
HTML-like tag. 

For a U2 environment, you would need to route your print job through a 
Windows machine. We offer several ways to do that.

See website below.
