Does datamax printers work with vbscript? - Datamax Office Equipment & Supplies

copy file.txt lpt1 is the command to copy the txt file to the printer, but it must be correctly formatted for the Datamax. I don't know Datamax's programming language, but at first glance that file looks like ZPL to me. If it is ZPL the Datamax can't print it.

You can't, on this obsolete model. zpl is "Zebra Printer Language." This model of Datamax is dpl only ("Datamax Printer Language"). Most current models of Datamax printers are dpl and zpl compatible.

We have the same problem and Datamax had us clean the roller and the head. it worked for awhile and then the line came back. You could try it, maybe it will work better for you.

its probably a issue of usb 1.0 and 2.0 ..change the usb port and see if the pc its making a sound when you plug it in ..ifthe computer makes a sound like a bel or a ping all you need its a driver for the printer to comunicate with the pc ..and this can be found on the net ..if the printer is Datamax dmx I-4206 this is the driver needed

It sounds like you may not have the latest firmware. You should go to the Datamax website and download the latest firmware revision for your printer. http://www.datamaxcorp.com/software/ If it's not available on the website, you can call Datamax with your CID# and serial number and ask them to send you the latest firmware for that printer. This should hopefully clear up your problem.

Hi
Its worth checking that you are using the latest drivers. You should be able to get these from the Datamax website. Also check the printer set up, gap sensor etc. Also check the media is loaded correctly. Hope this helps. Regards Stu www.labelzone.co.uk

You need to download the Windows Drivers from Datamax Website, you can then use the printer with all Windows based applications

that is the solution
