From that output what I’m quickly noticing is Caramel Frappe and whipped cream lines are in a single quote sequence and there are no commands for whipped cream line. So instead of entering a command for {ORDERS} tag you can try setting up commands individually under [ORDERS] section in front of {PRODUCT NAME} tag. If you do the same for {ORDER TAG NAME} tag they’ll appear with commands and they’ll stay in individual quotes.
The format is as followed per EPL programming guide: A: this is the command to render ASCII text string (there are many codes that do different things, but none th at says start new line. I have a copy of the EPL programming guide here with me) 15: horizontal start position in dots (x-position) 38: vertical start position in dots (y-position) 0: rotation of characters (0, 90, 180, 270 degrees) 3: font selection (value of 3 means 10pt font size) 1: horizontal multiplier (expands the text horizontally) 1: vertical multiplier (expands the text vertically) N: reverse image (N value means normal, R value means reverse image–>print white letters in black box)
@sukasem as his {ORDERS} tag was also in quotes that probably produced invalid quote structure. That’s why I’ve requested to see a demo printer output.
@aznwonderboy can you please try what @Jesse posted here and share your results with us?
please note you should still need to adjust command parameters accordingly as we just copy pasted your commands to let you understand where you input your barcode printer commands.
PS: Sorry it is a little hard to produce exact template from command definitions without testing it physically with a printer
This is exactly what I did. We’re getting closer, but there’s still a problem. When there are multiple order tags (modifiers), it only prints one.
Here is what I did:
Create order of Mocha Frappe with 3 modifiers:
This is what it printed in notepad (demo printer):
Unfortunately, adding \n at the end does not break the tags to new lines either. All the tags are still in one line and overlap once the text runs out of room on the paper.
It looks like I need to find another way to break to new line automatically. It seems like I have to manually code each data line for horizontal and vertical position.
By the way, can anyone suggest how to do the [1 of 2] and [2 of 2] on the label? I looked at another thread with the same question, but the {TICKET QUANTITY SUM} does not show the total number of drinks. Is it because I used Separated Prints by Quantity?
My original label printer (Zebra LP 2824) uses EPL so it does not have a code for word-wrapping or automatically breaking to new line. As a result, a long line of text overlaps on itself when there are too many order tags. Therefore, I bought a new label printer (Zebra LP 2824 Plus) which uses ZPL codes that can create a field-block or text-block. The code ^FB works for me.
Thanks, your label looks pretty much exactly as I imagine how is like mine.
At the minutes I’ve just borrowed a friends little brother to play with.
Never actually used a zebra printer but I believe (or at least the ones I’ve seen) That they use a transfer ribbon?
Is the model you have like this?
My personal preference is towards thermal as it’s just one more thing to run out of or for someone to mess up.
