Execute “label.bat” with Firefox Browser to automatically print EPL2 file

 

1. In Firefox, go to Options > Applications.
2. Select EPL2 file from the list of types.
3. Click on the "Action" dropdown next to it and select "Internet Explorer"
4. Click OK to close the Options windowClick Close to close the Preferences windowClose the Preferences window after making changes.

*Firefox will then let Internet Explorer send the EPL2 file to the thermal printer through label.bat.

 

Alternatively, the customer can also do these steps:

 

1. Follow previous steps 1 and 2.
2. The Action column will give you a drop-down menu, with options on action to take, whenever you click that type of file, choose "Use other…" (This automatically opens the file with an application or plug-in of you are choosing.)
3. Click "Browse" when the "Select Helper Application" window opens and locate the label.bat batch file.
4. Since batch files are not programs, per se, but just instructions batched  in one file, the label.bat will not appear. Instead, you can navigate to the folder containing it and just type "label.bat". (Or just type the path e.q. C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\label.bat)
5. Click OK to close the Options windowClick Close to close the Preferences windowClose the Preferences window after making changes.
