Hello All; I'm an AB guy but not too much into hi tech stuff like this,,, Here goes. I need to have a PLC controlled leak tester print a bar code label from an intermec PM4i label printer when the part tests good. The printer is IPL format. The PLC is an AB micro 1200 series C. The printer is supposed to print using ASCII coded instructions,,, I haven't had success at that yet. Printer works well with loftware bar code label software using my desktop. What do I need for communication to Printer (it has a serial port) it also has an ethernet card. If I use ascii code what file in the PLC would I write the barcode label format in? I have rslogix 500 software and have seen the ASCII instructions but don't know how they work.... Any Info would be appreciated THANKS FUZZYWUZZY
