Domanda

C'è un modo per inviare ZPL (Zebra Programming Language) per una stampante in .NET?

Ho il codice per fare questo in Delphi, ma non è abbastanza e non vorrei piuttosto cercare di ricreare in .NET così com'è.

Soluzione

Date un'occhiata a questa discussione: codici di stampa ZPL per stampanti Zebra utilizzando PrintDocument classe .

In particolare l'OP scegliere questa funzione dalle risposte alla filettatura:

[DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
static extern SafeFileHandle CreateFile(string lpFileName, FileAccess dwDesiredAccess,
uint dwShareMode, IntPtr lpSecurityAttributes, FileMode dwCreationDisposition,
uint dwFlagsAndAttributes, IntPtr hTemplateFile);

private void Print()
{
    // Command to be sent to the printer
    string command = "^XA^FO10,10,^AO,30,20^FDFDTesting^FS^FO10,30^BY3^BCN,100,Y,N,N^FDTesting^FS^XZ";

    // Create a buffer with the command
    Byte[] buffer = new byte[command.Length];
    buffer = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(command);
    // Use the CreateFile external func to connect to the LPT1 port
    SafeFileHandle printer = CreateFile("LPT1:", FileAccess.ReadWrite, 0, IntPtr.Zero, FileMode.Open, 0, IntPtr.Zero);
    // Aqui verifico se a impressora é válida
    if (printer.IsInvalid == true)
    {
        return;
    }

    // Open the filestream to the lpt1 port and send the command
    FileStream lpt1 = new FileStream(printer, FileAccess.ReadWrite);
    lpt1.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
    // Close the FileStream connection
    lpt1.Close();

}

Altri suggerimenti

In questo modo si sarà in grado di inviare ZPL a una stampante, non importa quanto esso è collegato ( LPT , USB , Condivisione di rete . ..)

Creare la classe RawPrinterHelper (dall'articolo di Microsoft su Come inviare dati non elaborati a una stampante utilizzando Visual C # .NET ):

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Printing;
using System.IO;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

public class RawPrinterHelper
{
    // Structure and API declarions:
    [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet=CharSet.Ansi)]
    public class DOCINFOA
    {
        [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)] public string pDocName;
        [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)] public string pOutputFile;
        [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)] public string pDataType;
    }
    [DllImport("winspool.Drv", EntryPoint="OpenPrinterA", SetLastError=true, CharSet=CharSet.Ansi, ExactSpelling=true, CallingConvention=CallingConvention.StdCall)]
    public static extern bool OpenPrinter([MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)] string szPrinter, out IntPtr hPrinter, IntPtr pd);

    [DllImport("winspool.Drv", EntryPoint="ClosePrinter", SetLastError=true, ExactSpelling=true, CallingConvention=CallingConvention.StdCall)]
    public static extern bool ClosePrinter(IntPtr hPrinter);

    [DllImport("winspool.Drv", EntryPoint="StartDocPrinterA", SetLastError=true, CharSet=CharSet.Ansi, ExactSpelling=true, CallingConvention=CallingConvention.StdCall)]
    public static extern bool StartDocPrinter( IntPtr hPrinter, Int32 level,  [In, MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStruct)] DOCINFOA di);

    [DllImport("winspool.Drv", EntryPoint="EndDocPrinter", SetLastError=true, ExactSpelling=true, CallingConvention=CallingConvention.StdCall)]
    public static extern bool EndDocPrinter(IntPtr hPrinter);

    [DllImport("winspool.Drv", EntryPoint="StartPagePrinter", SetLastError=true, ExactSpelling=true, CallingConvention=CallingConvention.StdCall)]
    public static extern bool StartPagePrinter(IntPtr hPrinter);

    [DllImport("winspool.Drv", EntryPoint="EndPagePrinter", SetLastError=true, ExactSpelling=true, CallingConvention=CallingConvention.StdCall)]
    public static extern bool EndPagePrinter(IntPtr hPrinter);

    [DllImport("winspool.Drv", EntryPoint="WritePrinter", SetLastError=true, ExactSpelling=true, CallingConvention=CallingConvention.StdCall)]
    public static extern bool WritePrinter(IntPtr hPrinter, IntPtr pBytes, Int32 dwCount, out Int32 dwWritten );

    // SendBytesToPrinter()
    // When the function is given a printer name and an unmanaged array
    // of bytes, the function sends those bytes to the print queue.
    // Returns true on success, false on failure.
    public static bool SendBytesToPrinter( string szPrinterName, IntPtr pBytes, Int32 dwCount)
    {
        Int32    dwError = 0, dwWritten = 0;
        IntPtr    hPrinter = new IntPtr(0);
        DOCINFOA    di = new DOCINFOA();
        bool    bSuccess = false; // Assume failure unless you specifically succeed.

        di.pDocName = "My C#.NET RAW Document";
        di.pDataType = "RAW";

        // Open the printer.
        if( OpenPrinter( szPrinterName.Normalize(), out hPrinter, IntPtr.Zero ) )
        {
            // Start a document.
            if( StartDocPrinter(hPrinter, 1, di) )
            {
                // Start a page.
                if( StartPagePrinter(hPrinter) )
                {
                    // Write your bytes.
                    bSuccess = WritePrinter(hPrinter, pBytes, dwCount, out dwWritten);
                    EndPagePrinter(hPrinter);
                }
                EndDocPrinter(hPrinter);
            }
            ClosePrinter(hPrinter);
        }
        // If you did not succeed, GetLastError may give more information
        // about why not.
        if( bSuccess == false )
        {
                dwError = Marshal.GetLastWin32Error();
        }
        return bSuccess;
    }

    public static bool SendFileToPrinter( string szPrinterName, string szFileName )
    {
        // Open the file.
        FileStream fs = new FileStream(szFileName, FileMode.Open);
        // Create a BinaryReader on the file.
        BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(fs);
        // Dim an array of bytes big enough to hold the file's contents.
        Byte []bytes = new Byte[fs.Length];
        bool bSuccess = false;
        // Your unmanaged pointer.
        IntPtr pUnmanagedBytes = new IntPtr(0);
        int nLength;

        nLength = Convert.ToInt32(fs.Length);
        // Read the contents of the file into the array.
        bytes = br.ReadBytes( nLength );
        // Allocate some unmanaged memory for those bytes.
        pUnmanagedBytes = Marshal.AllocCoTaskMem(nLength);
        // Copy the managed byte array into the unmanaged array.
        Marshal.Copy(bytes, 0, pUnmanagedBytes, nLength);
        // Send the unmanaged bytes to the printer.
        bSuccess = SendBytesToPrinter(szPrinterName, pUnmanagedBytes, nLength);
        // Free the unmanaged memory that you allocated earlier.
        Marshal.FreeCoTaskMem(pUnmanagedBytes);
        return bSuccess;
    }
    public static bool SendStringToPrinter( string szPrinterName, string szString )
    {
        IntPtr pBytes;
        Int32 dwCount;
        // How many characters are in the string?
        dwCount = szString.Length;
        // Assume that the printer is expecting ANSI text, and then convert
        // the string to ANSI text.
        pBytes = Marshal.StringToCoTaskMemAnsi(szString);
        // Send the converted ANSI string to the printer.
        SendBytesToPrinter(szPrinterName, pBytes, dwCount);
        Marshal.FreeCoTaskMem(pBytes);
        return true;
    }
}

Chiamare il metodo di stampa:

private void BtnPrint_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    string s = "^XA^LH30,30\n^FO20,10^ADN,90,50^AD^FDHello World^FS\n^XZ";

    PrintDialog pd  = new PrintDialog();
    pd.PrinterSettings = new PrinterSettings();
    if(DialogResult.OK == pd.ShowDialog(this))
    {
        RawPrinterHelper.SendStringToPrinter(pd.PrinterSettings.PrinterName, s);
    }
}

Ci sono 2 trucchi che ho incontrato che si verificano quando si sta inviando i file txt con i codici ZPL alla stampante:

Il file deve terminare con un carattere di nuova riga

La codifica deve essere impostato a Encoding.Default durante la lettura file txt ANSI con caratteri speciali

public static bool SendTextFileToPrinter(string szFileName, string printerName)
{
    var sb = new StringBuilder();

    using (var sr = new StreamReader(szFileName, Encoding.Default))
    {
        while (!sr.EndOfStream)
        {
            sb.AppendLine(sr.ReadLine());
        }
    }

    return RawPrinterHelper.SendStringToPrinter(printerName, sb.ToString());
}

Sono riuscito un progetto che fa questo con prese per anni. Zebra utilizzano in genere porta 6101. Guarderò attraverso il codice e post quello che posso.

public void SendData(string zpl)
{
    NetworkStream ns = null;
    Socket socket = null;

    try
    {
        if (printerIP == null)
        {
            /* IP is a string property for the printer's IP address. */
            /* 6101 is the common port of all our Zebra printers. */
            printerIP = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Parse(IP), 6101);  
        }

        socket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork,
            SocketType.Stream,
            ProtocolType.Tcp);
        socket.Connect(printerIP);

        ns = new NetworkStream(socket);

        byte[] toSend = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(zpl);
        ns.Write(toSend, 0, toSend.Length);
    }
    finally
    {
        if (ns != null)
            ns.Close();

        if (socket != null && socket.Connected)
            socket.Close();
    }
}

La soluzione più semplice è con la copia di file di stampante condivisa.
Esempio in C #:

System.IO.File.Copy(inputFilePath, printerPath);

dove:

inputFilePath - percorso del file ZPL (estensione speciale non è richiesta);
printerPath - percorso condiviso di stampa, ad esempio: \ 127.0.0.1 \ zebraGX

Ecco come farlo utilizzando il protocollo TCP IP:

// Printer IP Address and communication port
    string ipAddress = "10.3.14.42";
   int port = 9100;

// ZPL Command(s)
   string ZPLString =
    "^XA" +
    "^FO50,50" +
    "^A0N50,50" +
    "^FDHello, World!^FS" +
    "^XZ";

   try
   {
    // Open connection
    System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient client = new System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient();
    client.Connect(ipAddress, port);

    // Write ZPL String to connection
    System.IO.StreamWriter writer =
    new System.IO.StreamWriter(client.GetStream());
    writer.Write(ZPLString);
    writer.Flush();

    // Close Connection
    writer.Close();
    client.Close();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    // Catch Exception
}

capito perché questo è ancora mostrando in alto nei risultati di ricerca per C # e ZPL devo dire SharpZebra. E 'solo EPL2, ma ho presentato una aggiornamento che aggiunge il supporto ZPL insieme con la stampa tramite prese, il Windows Spool Servizio e USB diretta.

VB Version (tramite la porta 9100 - testato su Zebra ZM400)

Sub PrintZPL(ByVal pIP As String, ByVal psZPL As String)
    Dim lAddress As Net.IPEndPoint
    Dim lSocket As System.Net.Sockets.Socket = Nothing
    Dim lNetStream As System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream = Nothing
    Dim lBytes As Byte()

    Try
        lAddress = New Net.IPEndPoint(Net.IPAddress.Parse(pIP), 9100)
        lSocket = New Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, _                       ProtocolType.Tcp)
        lSocket.Connect(lAddress)
        lNetStream = New NetworkStream(lSocket)

        lBytes = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(psZPL)
        lNetStream.Write(lBytes, 0, lBytes.Length)
    Catch ex As Exception When Not App.Debugging
        Msgbox ex.message & vbnewline & ex.tostring
    Finally
        If Not lNetStream Is Nothing Then
            lNetStream.Close()
        End If
        If Not lSocket Is Nothing Then
            lSocket.Close()
        End If
    End Try
End Sub

https://km.zebra.com/kb/ index? page = contenuto & id = SA301 & cat = ZISV_PL_ZPL & ACTP = LIST

Io uso la combinazione di questi due

    Private Sub sendData(ByVal zpl As String)
    Dim ns As System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream = Nothing
    Dim socket As System.Net.Sockets.Socket = Nothing
    Dim printerIP As Net.IPEndPoint = Nothing
    Dim toSend As Byte()

    Try
        If printerIP Is Nothing Then
            'set the IP address
            printerIP = New Net.IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Parse(IP_ADDRESS), 9100)
        End If

        'Create a TCP socket
        socket = New Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp)
        'Connect to the printer based on the IP address
        socket.Connect(printerIP)
        'create a new network stream based on the socket connection
        ns = New NetworkStream(socket)

        'convert the zpl command to a byte array
        toSend = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(zpl)

        'send the zpl byte array over the networkstream to the connected printer
        ns.Write(toSend, 0, toSend.Length)

    Catch ex As Exception
        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Cable Printer", MessageBoxButtons.OKCancel, MessageBoxIcon.Error)
    Finally
        'close the networkstream and then the socket
        If Not ns Is Nothing Then
            ns.Close()
        End If

        If Not socket Is Nothing Then
            socket.Close()
        End If
    End Try
End Sub


Private Function createString() As String
    Dim command As String

    command = "^XA"
    command += "^LH20,25"

    If rdoSmall.Checked = True Then
        command += "^FO1,30^A0,N,25,25^FD"
    ElseIf rdoNormal.Checked = True Then
        command += "^FO1,30^A0,N,35,35^FD"
    Else
        command += "^FO1,30^A0,N,50,50^FD"
    End If

    command += txtInput.Text
    command += "^FS"
    command += "^XZ"

    Return command

End Function
