Hi Mark
Yes I meant Code 128C... thanks for that info.

Why did you select 128C for the Jewellery labels as opposed to 128a or b ?

Gerard

>>>This creates a text file that can be sent to a Zebra printer using EPL2 (Eltron Programming Language 2/Page Mode) with a margin of llblmargin, density of 15, description of mldescr, code 128 mode c barcode of mbpartno, a currency symbol of mdollar, a price of mbprice, a human-readable barcode of mbpartno and mcopy number of copies.

>>>This will print a jewelry label with barcode on left side and price and description on the right side.

>>>Since there is very little room to print a barcode and you need to print it big enough that a scanner can scan it, I used Code 128C barcode and limited the barcode to a 6-digit string of numbers.
>>>
>>>Another tip if you want to use EPL2 programming: If your Zebra printer comes with BarTender barcode printing software, you can design your label in BarTender and then print it to a text file. The text file will consist of the EPL commands that you can then integrate into your own program.
