Communication between arduino and print zebra ZT231

Hi,
I need to use arduino to print some label with my print zebra ZT231. the print have a serial port RS232 and ethernet port
I need ur help

Bonjour,
Je veux imprimer des étiquettes en utilisant communication entre arduino uno et imprimante zebra ZT231. L'imprimante est équipée d'un port serie RS232 et un port ethernet
J'ai besoin de votre aide svp

As far as I can figure it out, the printer seems to have its own language (ZPL). So you will have to dig through the documentation; these search results might give a starting point: zebra zpl documentation - Google Search

I hope I don't put you on the wrong track.

thank u :wink: but the big problem that i have it's about the hardware communication i didn't find the good component for communication (shield, or adaptater cable, ect)

If memory serves me well (I did look at it when I replied), you need something like SparkFun RS232 Shifter - SMD - PRT-00449 - SparkFun Electronics to convert the RS232 levels (Zebra) to TTL levels (Arduino). It would be easier if you would have provide a link to the product / user guide :wink:

I would also advise to use a board with a spare UART (Micro, Mega, Leonardo, Pro Micro); it can be done with an Uno / Nano / Pro Mini depending on your needs.

I tried with the module MAX3232 but it's not worked 5pcs DC5V MAX3232 MAX232 RS232 to TTL Serial Communication Converter Module with Jumper Cable Geekcreit for Arduino - Products That Work with Official Arduino Boards : Amazon.in: Industrial & Scientific

Which board?
Please provide a wiring diagram.
