So apparently we bought a couple of Print and Apply units for a machine.
usually we have zebra engines, crank out a little ZPL and the world keeps a-spinnin.
Well, these beauties are raster printers. they need a bitmap to print. my plc has to generate the barcode data.
Any relatively simple ideas how to get my PLC generated barcode data into a PC running some sort of barcode generation program, which will then print to these abominations?
Any suggestions are welcome, although i already suggested we throw these damn things away and get some normal industrial printers. that was not met with much approval.
Thanks.
