Hello,
I'm new using mobile printers.
I bought a ZQ210 mobile label printer, because I need to make an android app for a warehouse application.
I need to tell that Zebra user guide is very poor. I had to search 2-3 days the internet to find out what button I need to push to pair via bluetooth.
Every step needs a lot of searching.
Now I'm stuck at printing.
I downloaded some example apps for android, and I run them from Android Studio. This way I succeed to debug and find the root problem why I can't print.
I found out that the printer language is set to "line_print" and all the example apps are checking if the printer language is set to ZPL or CPCL, and since the printer language setting is different, it throws "Malformed response" error..
I found out after a lot of searching that, that theoretically I can change this using setvar command.
But I didn't succeed to change it to ZPL.
I queried the allcv command and I found this line:
device.languages : line_print , Choices: line_print,esc_pos
This means that I can't set the language to ZPL. Only to line_print or esc_pos. I tried and it changes to esc_pos and vice versa to line_print.
But to be able to use the sample codes I need that the language to be ZPL.
At the end of the allcv parameters, there are some lines, which I don't know what they mean:
netmanage.
zpl.
scanner.
line_print.
line_print.buffer_height : 32767 , Choices: 412-32767
apl.
ezpl.
ezpl.power_up_action : no motion , Choices: feed,no motion
ezpl.head_close_action : no motion , Choices: feed,no motion
Now I'm very confused if my printer can be used with ZPL or not, and if yes how can I change the setting to ZPL.
If not, where can I find examples to use it printing images (barcodes) with esc_pos.
Thanks in advance
Arnold
