Alldrives UK Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Can any Forum used advise on a suitable lowish cost Thermal Printer (24 V DC supply)to work with a V130-TRA22? Only need to print data from the data tables, no graphics. Like a till receipt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easychair Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 I've successfully used the Zebra TLP2824 (now end-of-life but still available new) and the Zebra GC420t. They're about $350 USD, maybe overkill for your application, but the print language is well-documented and they have standard RS232. Good luck!

MVP 2023 Joe Tauser Posted September 27, 2012 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 I went on a quest for one of these a few years ago- Google "panel mounted serial printer". There are quite a few out there and interfacing with them isn't bad. They all seem to run on 5 VDC which is kind of a pain in the butt, but you may be able to find a 24V version. Look for something that uses standard rolls you can buy at an office supply store. You can also Google "24VDC to 5V converter" - there are also plenty of those available. Joe T.

Alldrives UK Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Thanks for the input. I have found an Able printer Part AP1300 which is a 24 V DC system and used in Taxis and the like, to print receipts. One on it way for testing. It uses Epson ESCPOS codes and IBM 224 character set. Should be able to use the protocall function, unless any one has a better suggestion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuilhermeR Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 Hello Guys , I have a question... Do you have a manual or a step by step that shows how can i communicate and print through a Zebra Printer ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ofir Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Hi, According to our experience Zebra printers are ASCII based languages, so the FB protocol would work for implementing the communication. We know already that customers are using applications with zebra printers before. Attached is old example I found so you need to test it and implement the formatting according to your model.
