Using Intermec printers to print through LabVIEW

Hi! I would like to call my Intermec label printer to print through LabVIEW over the serial connection (RS-232 port) but I have no idea on how to start. Anyone has any suggestions or examples that I can refer to ?
Thanks!
Regards,
YuanGe

Hi Smercurio,
Thanks for the reply. I only have some example programs which were written using Visual Basic 6.0 as reference. I do have the Intermec Programming Language(IPL) Guide also.
I had tried to do some callings to the printer using the commands from the IPL Guide, but it seems that the printer doesn't respond to anything at all. I am using the  basic_serial_write_and_read.vi to do some serial programming with the printer and LabVIEW but to no avail. Every command that I tried to input, the read control returns exactly what I had input, which probably shows that it is not working as I hope it is.
I had used LabVIEW for my final year project during my university days, but it had nothing to do with serial connection/communication, so you can say I am a greenhorn in this area.
Attached is the VI that I used to do the calling and the IPL Guide.
Many thanks!
Regards,
YuanGe

  • Using DELL printers to print on iphone or Ipad

    hello I have DELL printer C1765nf, how can i configure it to print on my Iphone or Ipad.
    Will appreciate your help please.
    thanks

    That doesn't show to be an AirPrint compatible printer, check Dell's website to see if they have an app or use a 3rd party application such as Print Central.

  • Lost communication with DAQ (NI-6008) through labview

    I currently use four USB-6008 devices through labview as part of a teststand. While troubleshooting a separate issue I lost the ability to communicate with the devices but only through labview. Using other NI software I can use the analog I/O but not from my labview program. I am a chemical engineer so I've already exhausted my limited computer knowledge, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If MAX can see the devices, and collect data thru them, then your hardware is OK.
    (Max is the Measurement and Automation Xplorer program).
    Assuming that's the case, then I would suspect a naming change.  You can rename the devices in MAX, perhaps when you didn't mean to.
    Check your ERROR outputs of the NI-DAQ calls.  That's what they're there for. Put a probe on the ERROR outputs of INIT TASK, START TASK, whatever you're using.
    The more professional programs expect those errors and handle them, if you're doing a one-off kind of thing, it's easy to think you don't need them, since it worked the first time out, but they really will give you info that you need right now.

  • Barcode(Smartform)Printing through Intermec Printers

    Hello All,
    Is it possible to print Barcodes through Intermec Printers, I am using smartforms for the layout development.Pleaswe guide me with the procedure.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Vanita M.

    In SE73 create a barcode of new technology. After this go to TA: smartstyles and create a characterformat with your created barcode inside. Then enter your smartform and add the style to it. Now if you create a textnode you can assign the character format "barcode" to your text or number. In preview and printout the barcode should be shown. In smartform you will only see the numbers or characters.

  • Printing through Windows on Mac with printers set up on Time Capsule?

    I have my printer hooked up to Time Capsule and can print from my Macbook to it no problem. I would like to print from Windows (on my Macbook through Fusion) to the same printer. How do I install that printer in Windows? Do I need to use Bonjour since the printer is already on my network? The printer does not show up in Windows at all right now.
    Thanks much

    I managed to work through this problem in 2 different installations.
    In one case Bonjour did find the printer in the Bonjour Add Printer Wizard(an Epson CX-5000)
    In the second case - a Brother MFC-6800 - the printer did not show up as a choice in the Bonjour Add Printer Wizard.
    You might check that the drivers for the printer that is attached to the TC are installed on the Windows system.
    In this case I know the Brother drivers were installed but they don't seem to support a remote print server set up. However, the Bonjour Add Printer Wizard offered 2 choices - a generic PCL and a generic PS printer. I chose the generic PS printer and that worked....
    Printing with a print server - which is what we're talking about here - is something that some printers do better than others. In my experience some printers, particularly their Windows drivers, sort of do their own thing which isn't conducive to playing by the rules which is important with print servers.

  • Hello Community...Macbook w 10.6.8 and I need printing help. Using three canon photo printers of same model and need them to print individually. They are older and NOT network-able. Currently using another Mac to print to 2nd printer. 3 is idle.

    Is there software available where all I have to do is hit print and any of the 4x6 printers will print? Once I get this issue settled, I'll get a second larger format. I have to get this rectified because of time and ease. As mentioned, I have a second mac that I share screens with so my assistant can find pics for customers while I'm shooting. So, I can print through that mac to the printer. (ie....print to canon@##%#@Mac 2) I don't want to bring a third computer just to print to three of the same model printer. (That's what I've been doing) BTW....I totally know there are faster dye-sub printers out there but I'm about 4 more events from purchasing one...($$$) Some print under 10 seconds. I would appreciate any answers out there. Thank you.

    I don't have that printer and I'm not on Mac, so someone else has to step in there. Generally a green/magenta cast indicates none/double printer color management. But then I don't know what you mean by "slight".
    The Spyders aren't the most consistent and reliable calibrators out there. I had a Spyder 3 sensor that I just threw away because it gave a distinct red cast (I have several other calibrators, so there was no doubt). Another potential problem is that with most calibrators you can only adjust the white point along the blue/yellow Kelvin scale, but not on the green/magenta scale. This is often necessary to get a good white point color. In this case you need to use the monitor's OSD controls, and if possible the "pre-calibration" function in the calibrator to measure and monitor it - if that function exists. And I don't know if this is possible with an iMac.
    This is basically a question of getting the white point right, both on the blue/yellow and the green/magenta axis (and luminance of course). The goal is to get a visual match to paper white on screen. With the white point properly set, neutral color balance relates to that, and the rest more or less follows by itself. (In addition you should set the proper black point/contrast for full control, but that's not the issue here).

  • Printing problem when use multiple printers

Oracle reports developer6 is the reports.

    Can you access page1 and page2.jsp correctly on their own?
    ie could the problem be with page2.jsp rather than the import command?

  • How do I set up the system to print 4x6 labels via paypal and ebay using a DYMO 4XL Thermal Label Printer (through airport)?

    We bought a DYMO Label Writer 4XL. We want to print thermal labels from our Mac and PC, wireless. The good thing is that I already have the printer set in the network and added on each of our computers (Mac and Windows 8). For printing regular labels you can use the Dymo software; for printing postage labels from ebay or paypal has been impossible.
    From ebay I even tried one label at the time but still did not work.  I sent the the print command from the mac-print-window, changing each of the settings (such as paper size) but did not work. Each time (no matter if you want to print one label only) it advances more than one lable.
    http://community.ebay.com/t5/Miscellaneous/Using-a-thermal-printer-for-eBay-labe ls-using-a-Mac/qaq-p/3135261 (post by stormshock)
    Through Paypal is a different story. It should be easy cause it seems the Zebra Driver in Paypal works with this DYMO. The issue is how to get the system to send the print command to the DYMO printer through the Zebra LP2488? please help! I know some people have succeded making all these work. What am I missing?

    To whomever is reading this post I just wanted to let you know I returned the Dymo 4XL. Their customer service is horrible. Technical support does not exist at all. The issue was extremely frustrating and time consuming. I do not recommend this thermal printer at all. Good luck finding one... if you do, please share.

  • Can't print through Time Capsule using Windows-operating computers

    I've just bought a time capsule 500GB and it's working fine. It backups my macbook every hour and I can easily print whatever file I want through my Canon iP1800 series, which is connect to WAN port of my time capsule.
    However, I have others 2 notebooks running windows, and I can't print from them wirelessly. I've installed the airport utility and Bonjour in both computers using the CD that came with my time capsule and I followed these instructions of an old topic here (_but it didn't work out_):
    “1. Make sure the printer is recognized by the base station.
    2. Select 'Add a new printer' in Windows
    3. Select 'Local Printer' in the dialog box (auto detect and install
    should be off), click next.
    4. Choose 'Create a new port' and "Standard TCP/IP Port'. Click next.
    5. For the printer IP address, enter the address of the base station 10.0.1.1. The port name will be filled automatically. Click next.
    6. For the device type, choose 'Hewlet Packard Jet Direct', then click Finish.
    Choose your printer from the list and follow the rest of the prompts to install and configure the driver.”
    Do someone have any idea to tell me what's happening? How can I fix this problem and have Mac and Windows laptops printing through my time capsule?
    Thanks

    When you installed bonjour did the Bonjour Print Wizard appear on your desktop? Or in the program menu?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3052?viewlocale=en_US
    In my personal experience Bonjour sometimes doesn't install properly and doesn't appear on either the desktop or program menu, particularly if it is installed at the same time as another piece of apple software. Each of the times this happened I removed bonjour, using Windows Setup:Add/Remove programs, and then downloaded it again individually.
    If you have the same experience as me you'll then be asked if you want to install a shortcut to the printer wizard. The wizard has done the trick for me. I've not yet had to resort to the rather more complicated "add new printer" route.

  • Using the Adobe Forms for printing through portal

    Hi All,
    I've got a problem with the fact that I do not know exactly how to use the Adobe Forms from the portal.
    I've got the Form Objects done (Interface & Form using SE80) and they work OK when testing the form. The Interface gathers all the datas etc. and the form displays this correctly.
    My problem now is that I need to have this form available from the portal, and this I presume needs some WebDynPro stuff or something else? I'm totally lost on this part ...
    The customer wants to have a button or link in the portal that opens a new window with the produced PDF opened in the new window, much like opening a static PDF file. The user then has the option to print the PDF him/herself using Adobe Readers own print mechanism.
    My interface has only one Import parameter (PERNR number) and one EXPORT parameter (default). The PERNR number must be supplied to the interface so that it can gather all the needed data based on this number.
    Any help on this will be greatly appreciated and rewarded accordingly.
    Thankyou in advance,
    Kim

    Hi Arnab,
    from a forms point of view:
    (I assume you have the ADS up and running on the Java stack. Without it, the form generation doesn't work.)
    If you create your form in transaction SFP and execute the corresponding program that calls the form for testing in SE38, you get to the print dialogue. Here you may choose either locl or lp01 (or any other printer accessible through your network) and then select Print Preview. This should then display the PDF in SAP GUI.
    If you are asking about general printer setup within SAP, check the corresponding documentation: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/d9/4a8eb751ea11d189570000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
    Hope this helps,

  • Use dot matrix printers for printing text reports in Reports 10g

    In Forms 6i, customers had the option to use dot matrix printers for printing text reports.
    I believe, from 9i onwards, text based reports aren’t supported and instead HTML/PDF,DOC,RTF reports are supported which are not text based and use modern day printers.
    Is it still possible to use text printers ??
