Print Cyrillic symbols in barcode with Zebra

I'd like to know if there is a way to print Cyrillic symbols in barcode using Zebra printer?

The printer is Zebra GK420t. Language is ZPL.

Opposite to that question I'd like to print not text but barcode that includes Cyrillic symbols which could be later recognized by scanner.

Code sample:

^XA
^LH10,40
^CWT,E:ARI000.FNT^CFT,20,20^CI28
^FO60,330^BCN,100,Y,Y^FD^Part^FS
^XZ

In my app i replace ^Part with part code which contans Cyrillic letters. String is encoded to UTF-8 and byte array sent to printer:

byte[] bytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(ZPLstring);

Please post a sample of the ZPL string you are sending and what you expect to be the result that is printed on the label. – Shane Wealti

You should be able to print a bar code that includes Cyrillic symbols if you use the Code-128 bar code encoding. You have to set the code page to 1251 for Cyrillic.

You should read the ZPL documentation and determine how to set the mode to use Code-128 and code page 1251.
