Printing accented words on a Zebra

Some time ago, I've written a small sample that abstracts some of the details associated with printing to the Zebra. This post explains what you need to do in order to print accented chars to those printers. By default, Zebras use a  codepage which don't print accents. Fortunately, setting the codepage is easy: You need to send an I command  with the codepage you want to use and that's it!

If you look at the code, you'll find a class called Label, which is used to represent a label that you want to print. All you need to do is add a line to the GetCommandString method (you can put it right after the _referencePoint if test) with the I command and the codepage you want to use. Zebra's EPL II manual has all the info you need in order to get the correct codepage. Just don't forget to end the command with a new line (\n) or it won't work.
