Using Generic/Text only driver for Zebra 170Xi4, how to send commands ZPL












0














We are wanting to have a label feed after a print job is finished. I know this is possible to do within the Zebra driver, but the issue we had there is it won't select the paper size automatically from the printer.



Is there a way to convert/send the ZPL command using the Printer Properties->Printer Commands-> End Print Job?



The ZPL command I had found to feed a label after a print job is:



^XA
^FD
^XZ



Insuring to put a space after the FD and each command being on its own line.

          The best way to print a blank label is to add a ^PH command on your original zpl spool.

          The ^PH command causes the printer to feed one blank label.

          • If we print multiple labels at a time wouldn't this print a blank label after every label?
