Code39 Bar code

does anyone know how to direct Zebra bar code printer output to a file
instead of
print directly to the zebra printer.

I'm working on a program to print bar code using command,
as bar code font cannot provide certain feature such as sizing & etc..
the reason of redirecting output because the physical printer is at client
side..
which i don't have access to..

Thanks!

right click the printer, go to the port tag,
tick "file".

Once you changed the port of the printer to "file", when you print to
that printer, you should be prompted to enter a filename...

Hi Durby Vend,

If your laser printer understands the control codes of the barcode label
printer, simply print to your laser printer.
If it does not understand, then you need some extra program which translates the
control codes. I think, you have to program it on your own.

Did you try seting up the printer driver on your PC and using
print preview to see the result? Then you can do some final
adjustments after the client has tried it out.
