If you are looking to send raw printer commands to your printer with php, jsp, ASP or JavaScript you likely have found -- until now -- the only option is a proprietary Microsoft-only ActiveX control for Internet Explorer. jZebra is an open-source and open-API alternative.
If the printer is NOT a Zebra printer, jZebra may still work for your printer and application!
jZebra sends raw information to your printer by bypassing the standard PCL (printer control language) and sending raw data directly to your printer. In the production industry, this raw printing functionality is often required for making badges, tags (RFID, magnetic strip), receipts (thermal paper) and labels (bar-codes, asset tags) from Zebra printers.
Give jZebra a try to see what it's all about!
Here are some key features of "jZebra":
· Sends raw print commands to your printer
