Setting Up the Software

QL Series printers use Zebra’s CPCL Programming language which was designed for mobile printing applications. CPCL is fully described in the ”CPCL Programmers Manual”, available on-line from Zebra’s Web site at: http://www.zebra.com/manuals

You can also use Label Vista™, Zebra’s Windows® based label creation program which uses a graphical interface to create and edit labels in the CPCL language. Label Vista is available on-line from Zebra’s Web site at:

http://www.zebra.com/SD/product_LabelVista.htm

QL Series printers with an optional memory upgrade can support an interpreter for ZPL II®, or EPL programming lan- guages. QL Plus Series printers have these interpreters loaded as a standard part of their operating system.

If you plan to use ZPL II or EPL, refer to the appropriate Programming Guides available on-line from Zebra’s Web site. If you choose to use a third party label preparation system, follow the installation instructions included in the package.
