Work with Zebra fonts

Fonts and soft fonts which are created/installed for PCL or PDF output cannot be used for Zebra output. You need to create/install special (soft) fonts for zebra. The options below are reached through 7. Work with fonts, which can be reached from the InterForm400 Administration Menu.

Note that the Zebra font menu options are only shown if you have defined a Zebra (=Label) file set in InterForm400.

You may notice, that the resident fonts on the Zebra printers are limited to 2 different typefaces (CG Triumvirate Bold Condenced and Dot Matrix).

G NOTE G

You can type text in several different codepages on one label. You can specify a specific codepage on a font number.

G NOTE G

Creation of ZPL output (for Zebra) requires the purchase of the ZPL module for InterForm400.

Autodownload of soft fonts for Zebra printers works differently than for PCL printers. Soft fonts for a font number are automatically downloaded unless the soft font is registered as already downloaded into the flash memory of the printer in ‘13. Work with fonts in

ZEBRA flash memory’.
