How to send data to the RFID printer?

[rsaikamesh]

Hi,
I have connected RFID printer(Zebra R2844-Z) to serial port(dev/ttyS0). My OS is linux(ubuntu). I am using minicom for communication. I need to print some data using the RFID printer.

the following is the program which is written in ZPL language:
^XA
^LH30,30
^F020,10^AD^FDZ EBRA^FS
^F020,60^B3^FDS MITHA NARENDRA^FS
^XZ

I have stored this program as printer.zpl in my home directory.

the output of this program will be:

ZEBRA
||||||||||||||| |
SMITHA NARENDRA

I don't know how to run this program. Is there any way to run this program using minicom? . please tell me how to run this program using minicom?

Thanks in advance!

I am not familiar with either the hardware or the lanugage, however, have you tried piping the file to the data port?

cat printer.zpl > /dev/ttyS0
