ZPL Basics

The ZPL Command

10/29/2010 Software Integrator Guide P1026208-001 Rev. B

ZPL Command Structure

Command structure basics:

• A ZPL command consists of two (2) characters proceeded by a tilde (~) or caret (^)

character. The ^ A command (Scalable/Bitmap Font) is the only exception to the two

(2) command character rule at the time of this guides release.

• Many ZPL commands have one or more parameter strings associated with them.

Changing the value of one or more of these parameters affects the outcome of the

printed label.

• Some parameters in the documentation are broken down into sub-

parameters to simplify the parameter descriptions within the programmers

guide. The typical parameter that is broken into sub-parameters is a

reference to an object in one of the printer memory locations.
