Programming
There are two ways of generating a printout with the TTP 2000 printer: using the KPL Control Language or using a printer driver.
KPL Control | When operating in this mode, you have direct control over what the printer does using |
Language | KPL command sequences. The printer has two operation modes you can choose from. |
| In variable page mode, the printer can act as a simple word processor, printing text that it |
| receives. It can also print some types of barcodes and basic graphics in this mode. The |
| selection of fonts and barcode types that are available are limited to what is stored in the |
| flash PROM and the firmware of the printer. In this mode, information is printed in the |
| same sequence as it is received. |
| In fixed page mode, you can place rotated text, barcodes, images, and ruled lines. This |
| mode provides more flexibility than variable page mode, but is limited by available |
| printer memory. Printout elements can be specified in any order. You instruct the printer |
| when your layout is complete, and it is all printed at once. |
| Selection of the mode is controlled by the setting of parameter n36. (Refer to Document |
| Mode on page 89 for more information about parameter n36) |
| Use the Zebra Toolbox (available from zebra.com) to easily build text oriented designs. |

Printer Driver | All TTP 2000 printers can print documents through a driver. When a Windows driver is |
| used, you can use any Windows program to design the ticket with text, graphics, bar |
| codes or whatever you want to print and in any orientation. When using a driver, printout |
| is not limited by printer memory. |
| The Windows driver issues all the necessary commands. By setting up printing |
| preferences in the driver you select how the printer should cut and present the printout. |
