Bar Codes at Work

This one day course presents an introduction to Bar Coding. This course will discuss bar code terminology, specifications, and applications associated with selected, often-used bar codes. In order to gain a better understanding of labeling problems and solutions, the selection and matching of media and ribbons with be discussed. After identifying the media and ribbon required to meet the labeling solution, Zebra printer specifications and capabilities will be compared and the applicable Zebra printer will be set up to produce the required labels. The printer set up will include the loading and unloading of supplies, operator preventive maintenance, overview of communication interfaces and protocols. The methods necessary to create the labeling solution will include an overview of the following label creation tools:

ZPL® and ZPL II®

Z-Tools Utility

Zebra’s driver for the Windows™ operating system

Labeling

The program begins with a brief review of basic ZPL and ZPL II. Since each of our printer maintenance and operations courses include an overview of ZPL and ZPL II, it is recommended that the student attend one of these courses prior to participating in this advanced program. After reviewing basics, the course looks at advanced ZPL techniques that provide increased throughput and enhanced graphics capabilities. Using Z-Tools, images and True Type Fonts® are applied to a label. With the assistance of Zebra’s driver for the Windows™ operating system and Zebra’s Bar-One®, Scan-One®, Wedge-One™ , and Track-One®professional software, labels will be created, printed, and bar code data will be accumulated and tracked in the Track-One relational database.
