Operating Your Zebra XiII-Series Printer

Now that your printer is ready for operation, how does it work? The Zebra XiII-Series printer is designed to receive instructions from a host computer, such as an IBM-compatible PC. To create a label, you will either need to write a format in ZPL II , which is a programming language for creating label formats, or you will need to use a software program designed to format labels for the Zebra XiII-Series printer. If you are using label design software, refer to the instructions provided with your software package to determine how to do this.

If you are using, or plan to use, ZPL II programming language to format your labels, make sure you have a copy of the ZPL II Programming Guide. Refer to the mail/fax-in card at the front of this book to obtain a copy. For some sample ZPL II label formats, refer to page 51.
