Stand Alone Printing
Your printer can be configured to work without being attached to a computer. The printer has the ability to automatically run a single label form. One or more downloaded label forms can be accessed and run with a terminal or wedge device or a Zebra® KDU (keyboard display unit) to call a label form. These methods allow the developer to incorporate data input devices, such as scanners or weight scales, to the printer via the serial port.
Label formats can be developed and stored in the printer to support labels that have:
•No data entry required and print when the Feed button is pressed.
•No data entry required and print when a label is removed from the printer’s optional label dispenser.
•One or more data variables to be entered via the terminal or wedge device. The label will print after the last variable data field has been input.
•One or more label formats that are called by scanning bar codes containing programming to run a label form.
•Label forms designed to work as a process chain with each label including a bar code containing the programming to run the next label in the process sequence.
Both printer programming languages support special label forms that will automatically run after a power cycle or reset. The ZPL looks for a file named AUTOEXEC.ZPL and EPL looks for a label form named AUTOFR. If both files are loaded in the
