Trouble using TSPL2

[planet-fisherman]

Hello there,
thank you for providing this tool.
I'm trying to use it with a TSC-TTP245C printer but without any success so far.
The examples you provided are based on Direct Protocoll which of what I understand works for Intermec, right?
Can you provide basic usage examples for use with a TSC printer?

use PhpAidc\LabelPrinter\Printer;
use PhpAidc\LabelPrinter\Connector\NetworkConnector;

$printer = new Printer(new NetworkConnector('192.168.x.x'));

\var_dump($printer->ask('_VERSION$'));

This one returns an empty string on my TSC printer.

Thank you in advance.

I don't know much about TSC printers. _VERSION$ is a variable. Probably you should use OUT BASIC command to return its value.

All the code examples throw errors

Show error.

my PHP-File:

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use PhpAidc\LabelPrinter\Enum\Unit;
use PhpAidc\LabelPrinter\Enum\Anchor;
use PhpAidc\LabelPrinter\Enum\Charset;
use PhpAidc\LabelPrinter\Printer;
use PhpAidc\LabelPrinter\Compiler;
use PhpAidc\LabelPrinter\Label\Label;
use PhpAidc\LabelPrinter\Label\Element;
use PhpAidc\LabelPrinter\Connector\NetworkConnector;

$label = Label::create(Unit::MM(), 43, 25)
    ->charset(Charset::UTF8())
    ->add(Element::barcode(10, 10, '123456', 'CODE93')->height(60))
;

(new Printer(new NetworkConnector('192.168.100.40')))->print($label);

?>

the error thrown:
Fatal error: Uncaught DomainException in C:\xampp\htdocs\Test\vendor\php-aidc\label-printer\src\Printer.php:37 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\Test\index.php(18): PhpAidc\LabelPrinter\Printer->print(Object(PhpAidc\LabelPrinter\Label\Label)) #1 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\Test\vendor\php-aidc\label-printer\src\Printer.php on line 37

Try this:

(new Printer(new NetworkConnector('192.168.100.40'), Compiler::create(new Tspl())))->print($label);

Thank you very much for your help.
Needed to add
use PhpAidc\LabelPrinter\Language\Tspl;
Then your code was able to printed a label. But not with the intended content. It seems to call the last label from the printers cache.
Is there any way I can educate myself about the usage of this tool rather then having to trouble you?
