Hi Ken.
I had some experience with Zebra printers a few years ago...as I remember it , it was not straitforward printing... can you use the VFP report writer to print by dropping the text box on the detail line and changing the font ?

Also, my customer has specfied Ean 13 ... do you know if this is a runner or have you had any experience with this particular font ?

Regards,
Gerard

It was the only one that would print small enough. I used a 6 digit code. I purchased the font from Elfring Fonts and they were very helpful in choosing the correct font for the application.
