how to send the data in tcp/ip

[Albert.Geven]

Ok

lets start again.

I assumed that you did send information to your printer from LabVIEW. I have the feeling that is not true.

So now I assume that you did send the information to the printer in another way.

How did you send that information?

Now you have the same situation as before only with an ethernet connection between your computer and the printer. A kind of having a longer cable between the two systems. So to make sure that you don't change too much at the same time, you should find out what influence the inntermediate system has.

In short: what is the model and documentation of your printserver and does the printserver work for other printing jobs?

Just trying to set up communication with a system that probably does not talk back in MAX is completely different from what you try to build in the end.

I answered a few questions but probably I answered the wrong question.

  Hi,

            My Printer Server Make - Dlink , Model No: DP300U. And Now I have one Doubt. If i creating the TCI/IP Connection , it asks Raw Socket or VXI Device. What is the VXI device and Socket. If i selected Socket means it ask Port No. How to fing port no.

And Above mentioned Page i my printer server Model and Make.  Now which one i wnt to select Socket or VX Device in VISA TCP/IP Communication.  PLease do the need full.

Thanks

Thanks for the info

I downloaded the printer server manual and saw what I was afraid of. You should print exactly as before you added this printerserver. It should be a transparent device that you should not see.

So my question again: How did you print before connecting this printer server?

Hi Albert,

           Thanks for your reply. Before I am taking Print without Printer server. Only i am using Computer Parallel Port (LPT1). Now only i connected this Printer server.  pLease do the nedd full.

Thanks.

Hi

I understand that you printed without the printserver, and that you used a parallell cable.

So what software did you use to print from windows, or did you use dos?

Hi Albert,

           Thanks for your reply. I have intermech Make Barcode Printer. Model No: 3400E. Before also i am using Labview software and take printout in Parallel Port. If Intermech barcode printer having different programming Language. If before i sent this coading to my parallel port.  Here i attached my Parallel port Printing VI.Kindly refer the attached VI.  now i want to send this file to my Printer Server.

Thanks

So you indeed printed by writing straight text to the printer bypassing the windows printer installation.

If you did setup you DP300U you should be able to print to the printername ia a windows prinetrdriver.

You should have slected a printerdriver that does not do very much (graphics etc I would propose a star fr10 or so)

and then select in windows this as the default printer.

see this last page of the dp300u installation

try to select in visa this port IP_192.168.0.10 just as you selected lpt1

maybe this works.

Hi Albert,

Thanks for your reply. As per your last mail i created printer in windows and i taked test print. and Now i tried to created VISA TCP/IP. But not able to created it shows some error. So kindly send the any schreen shot or mediaplayer file and send Labview schreen shot also.

Thanks

Hi

If you check the printerport, what connection does it mention?

Check properties of the printer.
