How can address labels be printed?

Here is some code how to print to a zebra printer. Maybe it helps you.
Knowledge:

I make a zpl code tekst file and place it on the server (printheader/). Then with copy command i copy the text file to the zebra printer.
$y=1;
$i=1;

$data = $button->getCurrentRecord();

$som1 = str_pad($data["id"],7,0,STR_PAD_LEFT);

$idvalue = "ITH".$som1 ;

$som2 = str_pad($data["PlanID"],7,0,STR_PAD_LEFT);

$idfwb = "FWB".$som2 ;
$myFile = ("printheader/".$idvalue.".txt");

$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");

$stringData = "^XA^PRC^LH040,0^FS\n\r";

fwrite($fh, $stringData);

//Donker afdrukken

$stringData = "^MD0\n";

fwrite($fh, $stringData);

$stringData = "^MNY\n\r";

fwrite($fh, $stringData);

$stringData = "^FO620,430^A0R,80,60^FD".$idvalue."^FS\n\r";

fwrite($fh, $stringData);

If you print from this type of PHPRunner-generated site it will produce Dymo LabelWriter labels.

You can just print the printer-friendly page. Maybe choose vertical or columns mode, select 2 or 3 records per row, modify the way the single record looks according to your needs.

Good ideas. I'll try. Thanks

I have started programming the needed dd-code for PDFmake.js with custom buttons on my own. There you can for example define the paper size of dymo labels your own and decide for the content. In the server event part you fetch the data, in the client after part you build the pdfmake-Code.
See docs of PDFMake for more: https://pdfmake.github.io/docs/0.1/

It would be great if you could post a simple example of what you are doing - i.e. both the server-side & client-side code. I'm sure many would appreciate it.

This is example of server side:

It goes through the selected records in list page and creates PDFmake text-blocks for each data row. That is passed with $result to client side.

On client side I first define an rather empty document and fill that array with my result from server side.
Important for labels is the page size definition width and height. width: 252, height: 79 ist Dymo 8,9cm * 2,8cm

Cool. Thanks
Where do you put this - in button code or which events?
