Print Operations
2. The battery is in Sleep Mode awaiting the loss of external power to the battery (and attached printer).
The printer can be turned OFF and ON normally and does not require the battery to be ON to operate.
Battery Mode
The printer is powered by a battery only.
1. Press the Battery Control buttonto activate the battery and check the battery's charge level.After 60
seconds the battery goes to sleep if the printer has not been turned on yet.
2. Turn the printer ON.
3. Use the printer normally.
4. Check the battery charge status at any time by pressing the Battery Control button.
5. Change or charge your battery when the last battery charge level indicator is flashing. Your print
operation may be interrupted if the battery charge is used up and the printer turns off.
Printer Fonts
The ZD-Series printer supports your language and font requirements.
The ZPLprogramming language provides advanced font mapping and scaling technology to support
outline fonts (TrueType or OpenType) and Unicode character mapping as well as basic bitmapped fonts
and character code pages.
The printer’s font capabilities are programming language-dependent. The ZPL and the legacy EPL
programming guides describe and document the fonts, code pages, character access, listing fonts, and
limitations for their respective printer programming languages. See the printer programming guides for
information on Text, Fonts, and Character support.
Zebra has a variety of utilities and application software that support font download to the printer for ZPL
and EPL printer programming languages.
IMPORTANT: Some factory-installed ZPL fonts in the printer cannot be copied, cloned, or
restored to the printer by reloading or updating firmware. If these licenses restricted ZPL
fonts are removed by an explicit ZPL object delete command, they must be repurchased and
reinstalled via a font activation and installation utility. EPL fonts do not have this restriction.
Identifying Fonts in the Printer
Fonts and memory are shared by the programming languages in the printer. Fonts can be loaded
into various storage locations in the printer. ZPL programming can recognize EPL and ZPL fonts. EPL
programming can only recognize EPL fonts. See the respective programmer guides for more information
on fonts and printer memory.
• To manage and download fonts for ZPL print operation, use the Zebra Setup Utility or ZebraNet ™
Bridge.
• To display all of the fonts loaded in the printer, send the printer the ZPL command ^WD. See the ZPL
Programmers Guide for details.
• Bitmap fonts in the various printer memory areas are identified by the .FNT file extension in ZPL.
• Scalable fonts are identified with the .TTF, .TTE or .OTF file extensions in ZPL. EPL does not support
these fonts.
