Example
This example will download settings to a supported printer. The name of the file could be
PrintCfg.setting. The contents of the file are as follows:.
# ==============
# anything that starts with # is a comment line
# settings use attr=value format on a single line, attr is a Zebra #printer set-attribute, such as
ip.gateway
# plug-in will set attr=value on the printer
# CPCL setvar command –
# ! U1 setvar “display.backlight” “on”
# MSP format within a .setting file-
# set:display.backlight=on
#===============
set:display.backlight=on
Print Command Files
A file with a “.cmd” extension will contain commands that are to be executed on a supported
Zebra printer. All commands will have the same format. The format will consist of a Start Line
format where it begins with an “!” character. The command will always end with the text PRINT
followed by a final carriage return and line feed (Enter). Basically, these commands will print
some form of a label on a Zebra Printer. Please refer to the Zebra documentation (See the
instructions for obtaining Zebra documentation in the previos section.) for PRINT commands on a
Supported Printer because there are various options to use for these PRINT commands.
These Print commands are commands to print data. The Zebra Printer MSP Proxy Plug-In will
report success to the MSP Server if the print command file was successfully sent to the
Supported Printer. The Zebra Printer MSP Proxy Plug-In will not be able to determine if the print
command has completed successfully on the Supported Printer. Therefore, the Zebra Printer
MSP Proxy Plug-In will report success to the MSP Server if the print command file was
successfully sent to the supported printer.
