confused about adding my zebra printer for barcodes .in local network

Hi,

have a look at this tutorial on how to add Zebra barcode printing

[Tutorial] Printing DIRECTLY to Zebra Label Printer from Any Local Device

Just thought I’d share this incase it helps anyone else. This code will allow you to print directly to a networked Zebra label printer from any device connected to your network, without adding any additional software or drivers. NB this is one way printer communication, so no printer issues will be reported back to the end user. For my ERPNext setup, it is a local install, I don’t think this would apply to any cloud based installations for various reasons. For this example I’ll use the Batch…

Also, the barcode field built in to ERPnext will be more of a hinderance than a help, use the Data field type, see the following thread.

Barcode variable for ZPL

Hi everyone. I do raw Item lable printing with a Zebra printer. For a source of the barcode information I use the custom_barcode variable. Unfortunately, the custom_barcode is not text, it’s a SVG image. If I switch the custom_barcode to Small Text, labels are printed OK , but there is no barcode preview in the Item. The question is, what variable can I use to get proper information of a barcode usable for ZPL of a Zebra printer? Thank you in advance.
