...it's me...eRiCk

fiuhh, this case is one of the most annoying 'simple' approach requirement is to send 'barcode' to printer directly, because often we using Image print (creating image on the fly then send it to barcode printer)..this one althought works but often the image become blur / discarded so we need to 'communicate' to barcode printer using its 'language' the 'language' depends on the printer itself..in my case, we using SATO barcode printer so the 'language' is SBPL  (visit the link for more info) first we need to design the label we can use SBPL and design it 'on the fly' make us a little bit crazy or we can use SATO LABEL Gallery Free to do the job and generate SBPL equivalent for us so we can use it in our code after we design it, we use "Print to file" method for the printer then print it so we can see what its send to the printer the generated SBPL will contain 'unseen' character in visual studio ID
