Use a single command to manage the printer, test functions, and reports.
^XZ End Format Command
Table 8Printer Management and Format Program Structure
Many of the commands that transfer objects, manage, and report on memory are Control (~) commands.
They do not need the be within a format (form). They will be processed immediately upon receipt by the
printer whether in a format (form) or not.
ZPL Programming for Memory Management
Programming for memory management andfile naming is outlined.
ZPL has various printer memory locations that are used to run the printer, assemble the print image, store
formats (forms), graphics, fonts, and configuration settings.
Printer file naming requirements:
• ZPL treats formats (forms), fonts, and graphics like files; and memory locations like disk drives in the
DOS operating system environment:
• Memory Object Naming: Up to 16 alphanumeric characters followed by a three alphanumeric
character file extension, for example, 123456789ABCDEF.TTF.
• Legacy ZPL printers with v60.13 firmware and earlier, can only use the 8.3 file name format versus
today’s 16.3 file name format.
• Allows moving objects between memory locations and deleting objects.
• Supports DOS directory style file list reports as printouts or status to the host.
• Allows use of wild cards (*) in file access.
