I am trying to set up a form so that it can print from ODK Collect using the Zebra MZ220 printer. I am having issues formatting the xlsform so that it will print - I’ve looked at the example widget and I can’t see where I’m going wrong. I have attached the relevant lines from the excel file. I only want to print text.
Does the example form that you used work? That is, is the problem with
your form or with the printing function?

What is the right print code? I have tried the PrintCode_Sante above but it
is throwing the error.
Kindly help.

There is currently no functionality to generate barcodes in Collect.
If this is a feature that is important to you, please file it at Sign in to GitHub · GitHub.
To be clear, I think it’s a cool idea and I think we should build it,
but the first step is for you to file an issue. No issue, no feature.
Thanks,

I have a repeat group that creates unique barcodes depending on the position(…)
If a have a repeat group of size 5, then I will print 5 unique barcodes. The problem is, I have to tap ‘Initiate Printing’ 5 times. This is cumbersome if I want to print many barcodes. Is there a way of printing all barcodes by just tapping ‘Initiate printing’ once?
There isn’t an easy way to do this. Moreover, it feels very specific
to your use case, so it’s unlikely to be added as a feature to the
core tools at this time.
That said, if someone else really wants this feature and can think of
an elegant way to build include it in Collect, I think the core team
would certainly consider it.

Thanks Yaw,
Yes it’s a bit specific and I hope many will find this feature useful to be included.

I tried only iMZ220
It’s difficult to say if it’s a problem with that printer or our app, because the app is not actively maintained and from my experience I know it wasn’t easy to use.
Hi,
I use odk collect to print directly using ZQ520 printer.
The error I get is ‘unfortunately, odk zebra printer has stopped’
My guess is that the problem is with the ODK sensors frameworks since immediately you tap on print, you are taken back to ‘initiate printing’
Bests,
Margaret
Hi @Margaret_Wambui
I tested printing in ODK some time ago and also noticed some issues. Tomorrow I’ll try to do that again and maybe I will be able to help you.
I was able to reproduce the issue. Here is the stacktrace:

Thank you @W_Brunette
I have now tested the apps and attached is a screen record of the behavior on my phone.
On the printer, the Bluetooth icon comes up and I assume a connection has been established but nothing prints out.
