Generating and Printing Barcodes on Zebra Printer

• Download aspx and cs files

It is really difficult to find something on internet to print from ASP.NET form yes what you will find is JavaScript to acheive the same. Also its easy to do from windows application.

Issue: When you use JavaScript, you have to save the image (barcode) on aspx page and then fire the javascript print command. It works well with lazer printer but has issue with Zebra printer as image gets generated but there, we are not able to scan it. So Barcode generated is no use if you are using Zebra printer

It allows you to print barcode and also access zebra printer from ASP.NET.

1. Install font which is free on .net "3 of 9 Barcode"
2. Create an ASP.NET project
3. Add this code

Both aspx and cs file code is attached

Any one who wants to print barcodes using zebra printers can use it, using ASP.NET (webforms). Any one using JavaScript for printing and try to print on zebra printer has issues. AS barcode generated does not get scanned. So using the code the barcode generated is corrected printed by zebra printer.
