The device should be defined and setup in the operating system as
a printer. The following communication parameters have been found
to work well:
baud rate: 9600
stop bits: 1
parity: none
communication handshake: xon/xoff control
All of the above changes have been reviewed by the VISTA Blood Bank
No special jumping or wiring should be required.
It is important that initial configuration and media calibration
be performed on the printer per the printer's user guide before
attempting to print labels.
4. The field PRINTER TYPE (#.02) within the LABEL DEVICE multiple of
the LABORATORY SITE file (#69.9) has been changed. A new code for
Zebra ZPL II compatible printers has been added. Use this code to
designate Zebra printers.
Developer and found to have no impact on the VISTA BLOOD BANK SOFTWARE
Note: Patch LR*5.2*161 introduced this field. This patch had code "2"
represent INTERMEC 4100. In patch LR*5.2*218 this has been changed
to represent INTERMEC 3000/4000 SERIES to reflect the fact that this
software will also work with Intermec 3400/4100/4400 series printers.

5. There is no downloading of a label format required for Zebra type
printers. The label format is part of the label printing process.
This is a change from Laboratory's previous experience with Intermec
model printers which require a separate downloading of the label
format prior to label printing.
Laboratory software for Zebra Technologies Corporation thermal printers.
6. A new option Lab Zebra Label Utility [LR BAR ZEBRA UTILITY] is
added by this patch. This option will be added to the menu option
Lab liaison menu [LRLIAISON] by this KIDS install.
NAME: LR BAR ZEBRA UTILITY MENU TEXT: Lab Zebra Label Utility
TYPE: run routine CREATOR: 0
PACKAGE: LAB SERVICE
DESCRIPTION: This option is used to perform several configuration
functions that relate to the Zebra label printers.
STATEMENT
Blood Bank Caution Tag labels are not included in this support.
It allows the user to:
1 Configuration Update
2 Print Configuration Label
3 Adjust Tear Off Position
4 Label Top Position
5 Set Darkness
6 Mode Protection (Stripe printers only)
Some functions are applicable to specific models of Zebra
This software is written to utilize the functions and features of the
printers. Based on the firmware version installed in a printer,
the effect of these functions may vary. Parameters allowed by
these functions may be different due to changes in firmware.
Consult the ZPL II Programming Guide, specific model User's Guide
and Firmware Release Notes for specific information.
ROUTINE: EN^LRBARCFA

7. It was reported to Lab Development subsequent to release of patch
Zebra Programming Language II - ZPL II(TM).
LR*5.2*161 that depending on label stock and printer alignment,
the 2nd (right side) 1x2 label on the 10 part label stock prints
very close to the left margin when using Intermec 4000 series
printers. The routine LRBARB has been changed to move the
information over 15 dots to the right. This hopefully will provide
enough of a buffer to allow for variation in label stock and printer
calibration and still print legible labels. Site will need to download
format 12 for this change to take affect. Use option Lab Bar Code
Label Formatter [LR BAR CF] to perform this function.
8. NOIS: ATG-1298-31334 reported an undefined error when printing future
collection labels on controls using option Print future collection
labels [LRUFCL]. When printing future collection labels for the
current day and the site has accessioned controls, the option would
error because controls do not have a location entered in file
LAB ORDER ENTRY (#69). This patch corrects this situation by not
attempting to print labels for controls or orders with no location.
9. NOIS: BAY-0999-30794 reported that the option Print single future
collection label [LRUFCLS] would display a misleading message when
RISK ANALYSIS: Changes made by patch LR*5.2*218 have no effect on
attempting to print labels for an order when one of the specimens on
the order has no active tests. This can occur when all tests on a
specimen have been cancelled. The message has been changed to
indicate that only the specimen with no active tests will not be
printed.
10. NOIS: TAM-1299-32916 reported that when the laboratory order number
went over 999,999 that the last digit of the order number was truncated
on the label when printed on Intermec printers. The label formats for
1x2 and 10 part labels for Intermec and Zebra label printers have been
Blood Bank software functionality, therefore RISK is none.
adjusted to print the order number to 7 digits. The text "order #"
which precedes the order number on the label has been standardized
across label formats printed by Intermec and Zebra printers.
The test label available for printing within the Laboratory software
now prints a 7 digit order number.

prior to installation, you should use the 'Backup a Transport Global'
option at this time. You may also compare the routine in your
or medical device control functions. There is no adverse potential to
production account to the routine in the patch by using the 'Compare
a Transport Global to Current System' option. These options are
both found under the 'Installation' menu.
