Obtaining a printer command file to modify and send to the printer Applies To ZebraDesigner Driver Overview The ZebraDesigner driver creates CPCL, EPL or ZPL based on the printer driver selected and the language specified in the driver name. In order to capture the true printer-language output of the driver, you can simply choose the Print to File option, if it exists, from the application you are using the ZebraDesigner driver with. Procedure In Word 2010, for example, after clicking File >Print you would click the drop down arrow to show the list of available printer drivers. With the ZebraDesigner driver selected, choose the Print to File option from the end of the list of drivers. Click and a Print to file screen will appear.

Here you have the option to choose the location where the file with Zebra printer language will be created and to enter a name for the file. It is also possible, but not necessary to use the following instructions for creating a port that includes the file name and location. With this method, only one file name is created and will be overwritten each time. To keep the file created you will need to rename it before capturing again. Print-To-File 1. Right click on your printer and is appears in Printers and Faxes / Printers and Devices. Select Properties.

Choose the 'Ports' tab. Make a note of the full port name currently assigned to the printer. Select Add port >Local Port >New Port. In the text box, enter the file where you wish to capture the printer driver output. In our example, we use C: ZebraPrinterOutput.txt.

Finally, confirm that your file-port is created and is checked as the current port in use. At this point, print jobs sent to the printer will be processed by the driver and sent to the file you indicated in step two instead of being printed. When done capturing output, you can return the driver to its original printing state by simply navigating back to the ports window and reselecting the original port as noted in step two.

Description Enabling ZPL printing or Line Print mode on Mobile printers. Applies To Zebra Mobile Printers. Excluding the MZ Series, EM220 Seies, ZQ110 Note: ZQ500 Printers do not support EPL. QLn Printers support EPL starting with firmware version V68.19.7Z.

Requirements Zebra Setup Utilities should be installed for procedure to be followed properly. You can also use any other utility that allows you to send a file down to the printer as the procedure requires a command to be sent to the printer to enable ZPL print mode or Line print mode. Procedure Zebra's lines of mobile printers come with several different language capabilities.

By default, CPCL is always enabled even if another language is enabled. Note: CPCL is not supported if set to 'epl_zpl'. This is the default for healthcare QLns. You can choose to monitor for additional languages depending on your specific project needs. Zebra tabletop and desktop printers use ZPL, so it may be advantageous to have your printer monitor for ZPL.

Alternatively, line print mode allows for immediate print outs of all received text without the need to worry about formatting or formal language commands. To enable device languages the following commands should be issued. You can send these commands to any listening port on your printer (USB, TCP/IP port 6101, Bluetooth, etc.). In this example, we use Zebra Setup Utilities (available at www.zebra.com) and a USB connection. • Connect the printer to the desktop via USB cable. Open up Zebra Setup Utilities, select your printer, and hit 'Open Communication with Printer'.

Dec 14, 2013 We have thousands of.lwl label files that have been created over the last 10 years. We are getting new automated equipment that use zebra printers to. I have a couple dozen industrial printers that I send ZPL to, which works fine. However I would like to do a 'print preview' while developing labels.

• Enter any of the following commands, followed by the enter key (to insert a carriage return), and then press the 'Send to Printer' button on top. U1 setvar 'device.languages' 'zpl' •! U1 setvar 'device.languages' 'line_print' • You can check the currently set language with '!

U1 getvar 'device.languages', followed by a carriage return: Note: When enabling the ZPL language support you will have to calibrate the printer using the ~JC command. (The printer media must be loaded and ready to feed labels before calibrating.) Use the communications window to send the following after the ZPL calibration and save parameters command. ~jc^xa^jus^xz The printer will feed labels and calibrate to the label length saving the values.
