一，通过三菱PLC连斑马打印机
1）通过RS指令发送ZPL II （zebra的编程语言）到打印机。通讯方式为RS232。
注意：RS指令要一直通电，通过脉冲触发M8122(发送请求)，就能将指令传到打印机打印。
2）在三菱的D Memoryz中写入字符(ZPL II指令)，可以用复制/粘贴TXT文档中的指令。
3）ZM400打印机的有Z/R/E存储区,分别为EPROM/DRAM/FLASH。DRAM掉电后不保持。
4）通过DF/XF存储/调用在存储区的打印格式。
二、通过VB.NET控制Zebra M400打印

三、如何将ZebraDesigner设计的标签转成为ZPL指令的.txt文档？
安装好打印机驱动，修改打印机端口，新建一个打印机端口，类型为本地端口，端口名称设置为C:\printer.log，再用标签设计软件打印一次，此文件中就有ZPL指令了。
这时碰到一个问题，就是如何将多行字符传送到RawPrinterHelper（），将字符串放入xml中，如下：
Dim strZPL = <string>
^XA
^XFR:SAMPLE.GRF
^FN1^FD<%= TextBox1.Text %>^FS 'TestBox1中的内容
^XZ
</string>.Value
四、将电脑上的打印机名称列举出来
For Each pkInstalledPrinters As String In System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters
cmbInstalledPrinters.Items.Add(pkInstalledPrinters)
Next
If (cmbInstalledPrinters.Items.Contains("Zebra ZM400 200 dpi (ZPL)")) Then
cmbInstalledPrinters.Text = "Zebra ZM400 200 dpi (ZPL)"
End If
