Mobile support (.NET MAUI) #26

Syed-RI commented 1 month ago

Hi, as I await the test devices, I was wondering does the library support printing on mobile devices? i.e. Zebra printer connected to a mobile device via bluetooth.

The flow Im thinking is something in the line of:

Cross platform mobile application built using .NET MAUI (targeting .NET 8)
Device connects to a portable Zebra printer via bluetooth
Use sharpzebra to configure a template and send print command (somehow?)

Also, any example how to print barcodes using the library?

Currently, the library only supports printing via network, windows printer or USB, with the last 2 options requiring windows. I have printed from MAUI using network, this works fine. I don't know anything about bluetooth printing though.

@rkone thank you. Any examples of printing barcodes?

Hi @Syed-RI Check the Wiki for general usage. The command to generate ZPL for a CODE39 barcode would be: ZPLCommands.BarcodeWrite(10, 10, 50, ElementDrawRotation.NO_ROTATION, new() { Type = BarcodeType.CODE39_STD_EXT }, false, "Hello, World!")
