I need ax7 to be able to print labels on a zebra printer, I have found code on how to do it in C # using sockets, I have implemented it in a dll but for obvious reasons the socket does not reach the printer since they are not on the same network.

It is necessary that the print order be made from x. Any Suggestions?

You can actually use the regular document routing agent that is used for normal printing. So use the regular printer setup. Then from code, build your zebra commands into a str, let's call this variable "commandstring" to use in below code. Then:

DocumentContractFactory factory = DocumentContractFactory::Instance;

ZebraDocumentContract documentContract = factory.Create(DocumentContractType::Zebra);

documentContract.TargetType = TargetType::Printer;

documentContract.Settings = 'printer path';

documentContract.Name = "AXLabel";

documentContract.Contents = SerializationHelper::ConvertStringToByteArray(commandstring, System.Text.Encoding::ASCII);

SrsReportRunPrinter::sendDocumentContractToDocumentRouter(documentContract);

To use the DocumentContractFactory should I declare a reference with the "using" clause?

Hey Juan,

Yes you need to use

using Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Framework.DocumentContract;

and your model should have reference to Application Foundation package.

What if you have PNG file as a base64 encoded string? We tried your suggestion but nothing gets printed.
