Zebra QLN320 & Zebra Print Station - bluetooth

I've had a ZPL file created for me (well, a few different varieties) that has variables inside.
I've sent it to the printer via Zebra Setup Utilities and when I try and access it from the Print Station App on Galaxy Note 8, I get the error: "Could not retrieve format list from the specified printer"
The printer is connected via Bluetooth and it has been set up via the USB cable and connectivity options in the Zebra Setup Utilities. The sample files (Oilchange.zpl and address.zpl) work correctly and populate the data.
The weird thing is that yesterday, the format was being populated, yet it would not print out the variables on the labels.
All of my zpl files are located at www.gungetankhire.com/zpl
I really hope someone can talk me through this - I need this working for an exhibition on Monday
Many Thanks
Leigh

The field for Product in your Leigh2.zpl looks like the following
^FO248,224^ADN,36,20^FDProduct^FS
In order to get it to become a variable the user needs to enter you can update it to the following
^FO248,224^A0N,30,24^FN1"Product"^FS
You will notice it has changed from using ^FD to ^FN.
the 1 following the FN is the field number and then I added quotes around Product to name the field. The number for the field is unique, if you have 6 fields each one should have its own number 1-6. The field name is not needed but if not used the Print Station App will show "Field 1" for ^FN1. If you update the fields you want as variables to this format you should be able to enter the values on Print Station and print them out on your label.

NetSuite Phone Number Formatting

I am trying to implement automatic phone number formatting into NetSuite I am having some issues getting my script to work. Basically if someone enters a phone number into a customer record, "1234567890" for example, it will automatically format to "(123) 456-7890". You can see my script below along with the error message I receive when creating a new script record.
Fail to evaluate script:
{"type":"error.SuiteScriptModuleLoaderError","name":"UNEXPECTED_ERROR","message":"missing ; before statement (SS_SCRIPT_FOR_METADATA#21)","stack":[]}
Why do you need a script for this? NetSuite already does this, based on the Phone Number Format setting at Setup > Company General Preferences. Check you have this field set correctly according to your preference.
If for whatever reason it turns out you do need a script for this, there are several issues with the script you posted:
There is a syntax error - mismatched parentheses/braces. Your code editor is trying to show you that with the red brace on line 8 and the red squiggly underline on the last parenthesis (line 23).
NetSuite record level client scripts must implement an entry point function. For formatting phone numbers this would be a fieldChanged() entry point. You would need to wrap the logic contained in lines 10 to 20 inside a function, and then reference that in the return statement at the bottom. EG: If you called the function phone() your return statement would be return {fieldChanged: phone}.
You are using SuiteScript 1.0 API functions (nlapiGetRecordId() and nlapiLoadRecord()) in a SuiteScript 2.0 script. Under some circumstances these functions may be available so it might work, but even if it does, it certainly isn't best practice.
Loading the record isn't necessary. When you implement an entry point function, the function is passed a context parameter. IE: function fieldChanged(context). That context parameter contains a reference to the current record (context.currentRecord). Work with that instead of attempting to load the record separately.

Is there an easy way to create a "Movie-name" entity in dialogflow

I want to create an action that takes the name of a Movie or Tv show and returns some details about it.
The problem is that I need to add all the possible tv show names to an entity.
Even then there is the limit of 3000 for the maximum number of entities in an Entity. Is there a way around this problem?
Ideally I would like to give it some sample tv show names and when the user says a new tv show name(one that the entity doesn't contain), it is able to recognise it and pass it on to the intent.
You should create a custom entity, and train it with as many examples as you can. Additionally, mark the allowed automatic expansion, so that dialogflow will be able to recognize the names which you have not defined.
The problem could still be there, that dialogflow might recognize something as movie name which is not a movie name, for that you should have a validation function in your webhook code. If validation fails, you can prompt the user again for correct movie name.

Printing to an Intermec mobile printer from web application

Hello I have purchased a new Intermec CK3R Mobile computer and a PB50 Printer. I am developing a inventory check in system that will work in the following way
Background
Basically it is a single page ASP.NET MVC application with some JavaScript.
There are two form fields (Part Number, Serial number)
Flow
After the part number is scanned, focus is moved to Serial number.
After serial number is scanned the data is sent to the server via AJAX Post
Server does extensive validation
if it passes: Part number and serial number pair are entered into a database. The new unique id, part number and serial number is passed back to the client.
If it fails: and error code & message is returned back to the client
So here is the question. On a successful validation I would like a print job to be sent to the PB50 so the box can be labeled. The label should have the unique ID in barcode, and the part number in text.
I need a starting point to go from. I would be great if I could use JavaScript to send the print job.
I found http://www.hjgode.de/dev/activex1.htm which is an older example. I want to be sure i am going about this in the most efficient manner.

Controlling an NSArrayController and Core data relations

I am new to stackoverflow because I almost never ask questions in forums as there are plenty of questions out there already answered. However my head is about to explode from trying to figure out how to do this app.
First I do this using XCode 4.5.2 for OSX 10.8 deployment of a personal (that is for my use only) double entry accounting software.
Each accounting entry consists of a header of various text fields such as the entry date, a serial number, etc. which I created an Entity called "Entry". Also each such entry has multiple lines such as the various accounts related to that entry, amounts, etc. called an Entity "EntryLine" linked in the model nice and easy.
The thing is that I intended to use text field for the basic header info and below it a linked Table View for each of the line. Being an accounting software there are several checks (validations) that I need to make and I need full control of what is going on. Already tried binding two array controllers, one for each entity and linking the two and saving them to the sqlite file but to no avail!
Now I have an app with just the header up and running by manually getting and setting the info in the top text fields as I please and saving them to the file. But I have no idea how to do the part with the Entry Lines in the Table view. Can I do that manually too or is it better to do bindings through an array controller?
Also tried already with array controller but I get "Table View Cell" when I add a new line in the table. Any ideas on that?
In the Table View there is also an "Account Name" part that is NOT part of the EntryLine entity but my intention is to obtain this information from another entity called "Account" that stores the Account Number and Account Name. On input of the account number that is, the app would skip the name field and move to particulars for input but also bring up the name of the account already inputted. Is this even possible?
Sorry for being a bit vague in my questions but I come from routine program oriented languages and not object oriented one, though I have some Java experience. Any help would be appreciated. No screenshot sorry as I am not yet allowed:(

Convert a alpha-numeric string into a gibberish barcode?

A container is identified with the label JA1234. This container should always go to destination A.
Another container is identified with the label 1234. The vast majority of containers are labeled this way and these always go to destination B.
(Note: The pool of containers constantly fluctates so we can't maintain a master list.)
The users can either scan/key in the container identifier. Many of the containers aren't barcoded so they need to type in the number. When it gets typed in the prefix 'JA' gets ignored and suddenly the programs error checks fail (allowing wrong destinations).
To prevent entry and to force barcoding I would like to require the program to scan a barcode. The only way to get the users to scan the barcode consistently is the provide a barcode in a gibberish (ie hexadecimal) format.
Is there a any built-in .NET framework feature that would convert the readable string into something unreadable that would require scanning? It would need to be reversible.
It sounds like you want the users to input the whole string always and you users are ignoring part of the string. To solve this you want the users to just use the barcode scanner.
But you really have three choices.
Only print out the barcode. They can't type what they can't see. However this is bad because if a barcode is damaged you won't be able to fallback to user entry
Encode it using something like System.Convert.ToBase64String. This is bad because then you'll have to print values like SkExMjM0 and MTIzNA== for JA1234 and 1234 which is easy to mistype when the users needs to type.
Use a check digit and append it to the string. You can then reject codes incorrectly entered or incorrectly read by the barcode scanner. The downside is there's nothing built in that can directly convert "JA2134" and you have to create your own check digit function.
