Simple label designer/manager

Re: Simple label designer/manager
Barcode is really created as image by Zebra library. I've tried with my own way to create barcodes by printing rectangles. It's interesting if barcode created in "rectangles" mode would be more readable? I have too much work at the end of the year to try this, but give me few days to try.
I don't know if it's possible to mix window printing and raw printing. Maybe you will have a luck and find solution ?

Re: Simple label designer/manager
My program can print labels on normal printers on pre-cutted sheets. It builds a queue for fill whole page. I'll try to demonstate this in free time.
Regards and thanks for your opinions, guys!

Re: Simple label designer/manager
Hello Marek,
Your program is very nice, i saw that sample labels are for slovenian market (cena za KG/L opis).
My solution for perfect EAN code is to print EAN with ttf Font "Code EAN13" ( first install font ). I tested with my new Xprinter XP-360B label printer imported directly from China and works only with Windows drivers. Code made with Picture is really bad.

Code: Select all
@ 50, 20 PRINT BarEAN13(eancode) FONT "CODE EAN13" SIZE 30
Procedure BarEAN13(Cnumero)
Declare Tab1CodBar[10]
Tab1CodBar[ 1] := "-AAAAAA"
Tab1CodBar[ 2] := "-AABABB"
Tab1CodBar[ 3] := "-AABBAB"
Tab1CodBar[ 4] := "-AABBBA"
Tab1CodBar[ 5] := "-ABAABB"
Tab1CodBar[ 6] := "-ABBAAB"
Tab1CodBar[ 7] := "-ABBBAA"
Tab1CodBar[ 8] := "-ABABAB"
Tab1CodBar[ 9] := "-ABABBA"
Tab1CodBar[10] := "-ABBABA"
LitCD := ""
** Primer dígito
LitCD := left(Cnumero,1)
** Dígitos del 2 al 7
For HH = 2 to 7
LetraTabla := substr(Tab1CodBar[val(left(Cnumero,1))+1],HH,1)
if LetraTabla = "A"
LitCD += chr( 65 + val(substr(Cnumero,HH,1)) )
else // "B"
LitCD += chr( 75 + val(substr(Cnumero,HH,1)) )
endif
Next
LitCd += "*"
** Dígitos del 8 al 13
For HH = 8 to 13
LitCD += chr( 97 + val(substr(Cnumero,HH,1)) )
Next
LitCD += "+"
Return LitCD

Re: Simple label designer/manager
Hello again,
I found out also the other solution, which is in printer driver graphics settings.
In my case : printer Xprinter has graphic setting Dithering, which must be None. Then is picture realy perfect (just black white).

Re: Simple label designer/manager
This setting exists also on Zebra TLP2844 but unfortunately it makes no difference to the final outcome of the barcode image printed.radohabjan wrote:Hello again,

In the attached image you can see the difference between the barcode printing quality of the 2 methods.

Re: Simple label designer/manager
When I'm printing labels on my Zebra, barcode looks OK and there is no problem with scanner.
I'm curious what's going on with this...

Re: Simple label designer/manager
The only problem that exists is only when printing small barcodes(size 6 and less, from your program). The bigger barcodes are ok.mol wrote:When I'm printing labels on my Zebra, barcode looks OK and there is no problem with scanner.

I am attaching a new photo with the small barcode to check the difference.

Re: Simple label designer/manager
Have you found solution for mixing raw and windiws mode printing?
Re: Simple label designer/manager
Happy New Year to happy to All !!!
mol I found a solution for Windows: this is through the ZEBRA TLP2844 WINDOWS DRIVER (Ver 5.1.07.5146) ..., and in my opinion is very good for windows printing:
The Driver has built nearly all necessary barcode fonts used. You can create new fonts with the properties that you want to use within your program like regular Windows fonts:
E.g. If we want to create a perpendicular (90 °) EAN13 BARCODE with name EAN13_90.
We choose:
download/file.php?mode=view&id=5516
We choose:
download/file.php?mode=view&id=5517
In prg :
The following label font was created through the driver.
(we can also formulate and downloaded to the printer a ascii file with the printer driver settings. Also we can setup new fonts)
download/file.php?mode=view&id=5518
in prg:
So far we have 2 pretty good solutions:
For windows the above, and dos & windows via EPL language: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4131#p38879
If you try it, tell us your opinion
