Printing on ZebraS600 - donB4t display correct "C6 C$ C<"

[Erich Hummel]

I won??t to print barcode-stickers on a zebra s600 printer but the "??" is like an "~o" on the outputpage.
If i change the driver from dumbplot to net_genericprinter or other it take??s not effect.
What??s the correct driver for this ?

[Erich Hummel]

The right meaning is: "I want to print ...."

Hi,

did you try to use webadmin or the older version jetadmin to print to this printer (remote) ?

Kind regards,

Robert-Jan.

Which character set are your 'terminal' and the printer using? They *should* use the *same* character set.

They are one of the following 'families', in order of standards conformance (highest first): ISO 8859/X (we want to know the X), 'IBM' PC Code page XXXX and HP Roman8.

To check the 'terminal's character set, put (only) a ?? (German "u" with umlaut) in a file, do a "od -bc file" and post the result.

Common results:

374 octal : ISO 8859/1
201 octal : 'IBM' PC Code Page 850
317 octal: HP Roman8

Thank you for your answers.

I have make file within the character "??" and perform the commando od -bc file. The anser is: 174

What Codepage is this ?

How can i change it and take??s it any effects with it eq. Errormsg??s, Logfiles ?

Wherefrom can i download or install codepages ?

Sorry, but octal 174 is not a local language character (like "??"), but a pipe ("|" symbol. See ascii(5) ("man ascii"). If it is *displayed* as "??", then something must be configured in a special way, i.e. in such a way that the pipe symbol is not used, but the u+umlaut is used instead.

Perhaps other people used to (German) local language characters can help. I am from The Netherlands (aka "Holland") and we hardly use local language characters.

In any case, please give as much detail as possible about the 'terminal' you use. That includes terminal *emulators*, X-environments, X-servers, etc..
For *example*, *my* 'terminal' is a hpterm(1) window in CDE (Common Desktop Environment) on the Relection X X-server, running on a PC with Windows 2000.

I have fit the problem !!

The Zebra-Printer use the ZPL-Programming Language.
The Command ^CI allows character remapping. Any character within a font can be remapped to a different numerical position

e.g.

^CI13,132,228 means
Change International Font to 13 (=IBM 850 Code Page) and chenge the position 132 to 228.
This print you the right character "??"
To this with all umlauten and special character

Thank you for help
