INTRODUCTION
Volume One
Welcome to ZPL II Programming for X.10 Firmware
ZPL II Programming Guide Volume One: Command Reference for X.10 is designed
for users who already have an understanding of how to create labels and formats
using the Zebra Programming Language (ZPL II). Volume One is the unabridged,
alphabetical reference of programming commands supported in the X.10 release of
Zebra Printer firmware.
Note: This reference is designed somewhat differently than previous releases of the
ZPL II Programming Guide. Volume One is specific for programming Zebra
Printers using only the X.10 release of Zebra Printer firmware. The printer’s
firmware version can be determined by printing out a configuration label. Firmware
upgrade information is also available at http://www.zebra.com.
If you are using a previous version of Zebra Printer firmware, you will find that
some of the commands are the same and function as they have in the past – but
equally as many are new and will not be recognized by firmware that is earlier than
X.10. Other commands have been redesigned and significantly enhanced to support
more powerful innovations like ZebraNet ALERT, and the Real Time Clock.
While many of the commands in this text have examples included to assist with
proper ZPL II usage, these example are not designed to be a complete training
reference. Users who are unfamiliar with ZPL II programming should refer to the
ZPL II Programming Guide Volume Two: The X.10 Environment for information on
how to get started with the language.
To provide more information and convenient cross-referencing, commands that are
directly related to features discussed in Volume Two have been noted under their
Comments heading, pointing to the appendix or section that applies.
If you are an experienced user of the ZPL II programming language, you may wish
to browse this volume to reacquaint yourself with some of the commands and look
for additions to those you already use.
For those unfamiliar with ZPL II, look through this volume and take note of some of
the commands and the scope of what the language can do. Using these two volumes
together will quickly bring you up to speed and have you creating dynamic labels in
no time.
