Has anyone integrated a domino printer with TCP protocol, I am trying to configure it, or has anyone used this protocol with scripts.

> Having some issues getting a TCP connection working and thought I’d ask here and see if anyone has any experience. We are trying to send commands via TCP to a Domino V-Series Printer. We have confirmed that a command actually leaves ignition using both the TCP module and a Python script, and arrives at the printer port, but nothing ends up being updated. Using a third party TCP tool called Hercules, we are able to send commands to the printer and it works fine there. I’m not sure if we aren’t…

Hi, What kind of protocol are you handling in the printer, in my case I am handling CODENET, but domino handles 2 more, if you could share with me how you are doing the communication with the driver, I could help you, I am currently testing with another software called N3URON, to make this connection.

I just linked to another thread on the forum, I was not the original poster there...

Its been quite a while since I configured that printer, but we just used the standard Ignition TCP device driver I believe and sent the commands as strings to the printer similar to what was detailed in that other thread. Unfortunately, I don't have the documentation handy for that printer since that project was completed a few years ago, but it was from Domino, so should be able to track it down for your model through them.

We are using multiples Domino Ax350i and are communicating through codenet.  
Config is straightforward in the gateway (port 7000, IP address and remember to enable Writeback in the advanced properties)  
To send printing commands, refer to the Codenet manual.  
The ESC needed at each command can be sent like this `'1B'.decode('hex')`  
The EOT needed at the end of your transmission can be sent like this `'04'.decode('hex')`

For Codenet protocol in our projects we use N3uron's driver ([Domino Client | Introduction | N3uron KB V.1.21](https://docs.n3uron.com/docs/domino-client-introduction)) and then we connect it to Ignition through OPC UA.

I ran into this kind of issue not too long ago. here was the thread i started on it. Hopefully it helps.

> I have several Ax350i Domino printers on my production lines. Currently my production associates input a string to a HMI on a piece of equipment, and Ignition is pulling this via OPC tag to use on some Perspective Views. I would like to take this value and push it to my inkjet printers so that I have forced consistency on the printers label setup. The manually entered and altered label is formatted with a {date} [constant text] {counter}. I'd like to replace the [constant text] with the value th…
