Sample of RFID Programming

ZPL IITM 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 is not intended as an introduction to ZPL II. If you are a new ZPL II user, order a copy of the ZPL II Programming Guide (part# 46530L) or go to the internet address http://support.zebra.com and select the Documentation Button to download the guide.

For your programming, 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 “.zpl” extension.

4.Copy the file to the printer.

From the DOS command window, 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, “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.
