If you have the spoolfile designated as *USRASCII it WILL NOT be translated. Specify the file as *SCS and let the print writer translate it for you.

Hi Charles,

Found the hex dump capabilities.  For the archives concerning a Zebra
GK420t: turn off device, hold the feed button while turning on device, release feed button once light turns green (it will turn red and then amber and then green).

hex dump output:
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 15 5F E7
C1 00 0D 00 15 5F D3 C8
F3 F0 6B F3 F0 00 0D 00
15 5F C8 D8 F2 F0 6B F1
F0 5F C1 C4 5F C8 C4 E9
C5 C2 D9 C1 5F C8 E2 00
0D 00 15 5F C8 D8 F2 F0
6B F6 F0 5F C2 F3 5F C6
C4 C1 C1 C1 F0 F0 F1 5F
C8 E2 00 0D 00 15 5F E7
E9 00 0D 0C 1E 5E 41 1B 58 5A

Screen shot of spool file:
¬XA
¬LH30,30
¬FO20,10¬AD¬FDZEBRA¬FS
¬FO20,60¬B3¬FDAAA001¬FS
¬XZ

As you can see there are a bunch of additional characters being sent down in addition to the spool file data. If I am not mistaken, the ¬ character is being sent down as a x'5F' (per your other comment), so I am thinking it is getting sent straight through *without* an EBCDIC to ASCII conversion.

I am going to look into all of the device creation scenarios I have done so far and see what conversion options I have (i.e. HPT, etc).

Aaron,

Did you turn on the hex dump mode at the printer?

What hex characters is it receiving?

Charles
