Hi colin,

I´ve had the same experience with a simular problem with one of their productline. I don´t remember the model from the top of my head but it could be the same.

I´ve spend a few hours in figuring out what was happening as every second page and beyond was lost. The driver was just not putting through any more pages than 1. The issue was resolved by another printer driver install by the zebra dealer.

All this happened about a few years ago, so I was surprised that this problem still seems to exists in their current printer driver.

Walter,







>After a change of roll the ZM4 Plus printer prints 20-30 additional labels then the remainder of the job is deleted from the print queue on the computer to which the Zebra is attached.

>The jobs are very long (we are currently using rolls of 500 labels) and could amount to 1000-
5000 labels in a single run

>During a very long run the printer will not print labels continuously but pauses very briefly after every 2nd or 3rd label - at the end of the run when the computer has finished loading the print queue, the printer speeds up and the labels print continuously

>The host computer is running Windows 2000 Professional Service Pack 3 - printer spooling is enabled

>
>The printing is run from Microsoft Visual FoxPro 6 Service Pack 5 - the program prints the lables by means of ? commands. We have run this quite happlity on other labels printers without a problem

>Can you please help as we are rapidly running out of patience with this printer
