Welcome to DevX :WAVE:
What kind of printer? Does it have the correct drivers for this type of endeavor?
Maybe you can try to create Data Matrix in .net.
It's easy to create and print 2D barcodes in .net.
In asp.net, three ways are supported:
1,drag and drop
2, Class library
3,IIS manegement console.
Hope it helps!
Now I am creating Data Matrix in VB.NET. Here is a sample code to have a try:Code:Imports OnBarcode.Barcode
Dim barcode As DataMatrix = New DataMatrix
' Data Matrix Barcode Basic Settings
barcode.Data = "112233445566"
barcode.DataMode = DataMatrixDataMode.ASCII
'if your selected format mode doesnot have enough space to encode your data,
'the library will choose the right format mode for you automatically.
barcode.FormatMode = DataMatrixFormatMode.Format_48X48
'Set the ProcessTilde property to true, if you want use the tilde character "~"
'to specify special characters in the input data. Default is false.
'1) 1-byte character: ~0dd/~1dd/~2dd (character value from 000 ~ 255);
' ASCII character '~' is presented by ~126;
' Strings from "~256" to "~299" are unused
' modified to FS, GS, RS and US respectively.
'2) 2-byte character (Unicode): ~6ddddd (character value from 00000 ~ 65535)
' Strings from "~665536" to "~699999" are unused
'3) for GS1 AI Code:
' ~ai2: AI with 2 digits
' ~ai3: AI with 3 digits
' ~ai4: AI with 4 digits
' ~ai5: AI with 5 digits
' ~ai6: AI with 6 digits
' ~ai7: AI with 7 digits
'4) ECI: ~7dddddd (valid value of dddddd from 000000 to 999999)
'5) ~rp: Reader Programming (for ASCII mode and Auto mode only)
'6) ~m5: 05 Macro (for ASCII mode and Auto mode only)
'7) ~m6: 06 Macro (for ASCII mode and Auto mode only)
barcode.ProcessTilde = True
' Barcode Size Related Settings
barcode.UOM = UnitOfMeasure.PIXEL
barcode.X = 3
barcode.LeftMargin = 0
barcode.RightMargin = 0
barcode.TopMargin = 0
barcode.BottomMargin = 0
barcode.Resolution = 96
barcode.Rotate = Rotate.Rotate0
' Image format setting
barcode.ImageFormat = System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Gif()
barcode.drawBarcode("c://data-matrix.gif")
