Sample ZPL II Label Formats
ZPL II
®
is Zebra Technologies Corporation’s Zebra Programming
Language II label design language. ZPL II lets you create a wide variety
of labels from the simple to the very complex, including text, bar codes,
and graphics.
This section contains four sample label formats for you to begin
experimenting with. It is not intended as an introduction to ZPL II. It is
strongly suggested that new ZPL II users order a copy of the ZPL II
Programming Guide (part# 46530L) or download it at
http://support.zebra.com and select the Documentation Button.
For each format, do the following:
1. Set up the printer and turn the power on.
2. Use any word processor or text editor capable of creating ASCII-only
files (ex: Microsoft Word
and save as a .txt file) and type in the label
format exactly as shown in the sample label format that follow.
3. Save the file in a directory for future use. Use the extension “ .zpl”.
4. Copy the file to the Zebra R-140 printer.
NOTE: Typically, computers running DOS use the “COPY” command to
send a file to the Zebra printer. For example, if your file name is
“format1.zpl” then type, “COPY FORMAT 1.ZPL XXXX”, where
“XXXX” is the port to which your Zebra printer is connected, for
example, “COM1" or ”LPT1".
5. Compare your results with those shown. If your printout does not look
like the one shown, confirm that the file you created is identical to the
format shown, then repeat the printing procedure. If nothing prints,
refer to the “Getting Started” section to make sure your system is set
up correctly, otherwise refer to the “Troubleshooting and Diagnostics”
section.
