It has been noticed that whenever an
EPL format is being printed directly through a
Generic Text Driver using the
Notepad text editor, the printer will not print out the label, but the DATA led will flash, and nothing will happen.
The issue is due to an error or bug from
Notepad, where a Carriage Return symbol is somehow generated and inserted next to the
EPL command "
P." This will prevent the format code from being properly closed. Therefore, the printer will ignore and refuse the print job.
As a workaround, adding a
. (
dot) at the beginning and end of the
EPL code is suggested.
Example of the workaround of an EPL label in Continuous mode:
.I8,A,001
