Graphic Instructions

In addition to text and bar codes, three types of graphics can be

printed on a Zebra printer:

Boxes and lines.

ZPL II label formats saved as graphic images.

Graphic images in Hexadecimal format.

ZPL II has a format instruction that will create boxes and lines as part

of any label format. These label formats can also be stored as graphic

images and data can be merged with them at print time. Additionally,

ZPL II will permit the printing of graphic images from other sources

that have been created in (or converted to) hexadecimal (HEX) for-

mat. Such graphic images can come from a variety of sources, includ-

ing CAD programs, draw and paint programs, and scanned images.

Boxes and Lines

The ^GB (Graphic Box) instruction is used to draw boxes and/or lines

as part of a label format. Boxes and lines can be use to highlight

important information, divide labels into distinct areas, or just dress

up the way the label looks.

Working with Hex Graphic Images

ZPL II can be used to save graphic images in HEX format in DRAM,

FLASH, PCMCIA, or battery backed up SRAM, depending on the

type of memory installed in your printer. The image might be created

using a CAD program, a draw or paint program, or a scanner. These

images can then be printed on the label. Graphic images may be cre-

ated using a program which creates files in the .PCX format. These

files must then be converted to ZPL II graphic format .GRF (pure

hexadecimal data without headers or other extraneous information) for

use as part of a label format. You can use the ZTools™ for Windows

program (available from Zebra) to convert the .PCX graphic format

into the pure hexadecimal .GRF graphic format. Hexadecimal data

may also be directly input as part of a ZPL II program. Manually pre-

paring a string of HEX code is possible but usually impractical.
