Setting Up the Software
Note: If you plan to use BAR-ONE software to create your labels, you will need to install the software on your computer before you can operate your printer.
You will not need to use BAR-ONE software if you are printing label formats created in ZPL II. To print ZPL II, you may use virtually any text program on any computer—including Apple ® computers—that will send ASCII text to the printer via either the serial or parallel port. For more information, refer to the ZPL II Programming Guide (available by sending in the mail-in/ fax-in postcard at the back of this book).
