Python Send Label To Zebra Ip Printer

What I have Printer internal IP ZPL code on printer parameters to plug into ZPL code Is there a way to define a label and send it to the printer via Python? I would need to speci

Solution 1:

OK I am not a python expert here but the general process is:

1. Open a TCP connection to port 9100

2. Write ZPL to your connection

3. Close your connection

You will want to look at the ^DF and ^XF commands in the ZPL programming guide to make sure you are using the templates right, but it is a pretty simple process.

If you are concerned about whether or not the printer is ready to print you could look at the ~hs command to get the current status.

In the end there is a C# and Java SDK available for the printer which has helper functions to push variables store in Maps to a template, but the JNI calls are probably more involved than just opening a TCP connection...
