Driving Zebra Printers from Smart Forms

Logos/Graphics

Colored bitmap graphics from Smart Forms are changed to black and white when you print from the Zebra printer driver. If the picture quality deteriorates following this conversion, you should convert the graphic to black and white using a graphics program (such as PaintShop Pro) and import it into Smart Forms as a black-and-white graphic. The driver does not convert monochrome graphics. However, all graphics may be justified to adjust the size of the graphic to the printer resolution (203, 300 or 600 dpi). During the import to Smart Forms, you have the option to flag a bitmap graphic as "resident." In this case, the printer driver saves the graphic when it first appears in the printer's RAM ("R:" device of the Zebra printer). At the end of the spool request, the driver deletes the graphic again from the printer's RAM, so that no more memory remains occupied. Resident graphics during label printing from Smart Forms are therefore only faster if more than one label is printed within a spool request, and the resident graphic repeats on every label.

Uploading Graphics into Smart Forms

Transaction SE78 can be used to upload logos. You can also run program RSTXLDMC from transaction /nSA38.

Permanently Printer Resident Bar Codes (Flash)

The only way to support graphics stored on printer Flash memory is to recall the object with a direct ZPL II command. This could be done very simply with the S_LZPL_SETUP command node (see printer settings) or alternatively by creating a custom “Printer Bar Code” or print control (see bar codes).
