Quality Print

Solved!

You can get the EPL code from within ZebraDesigner.  Design your label and confirm that it prints properly.  Go into the print dialog and tell it to print to a file.  It will convert your label design into EPL code which you can then copy to the printer, as detailed above.  

 

If you want to use ZPL (rather than EPL), you'll have to figure that out on your own.  EPL is sufficient for my purposes.

You can do the same thing with designer to get the ZPL. Personally, I just create my ZPL directly in an editor. It is not too hard once you get the hang of it.

I assume the SDK requires a subscription?

No, it is available for free: https://www.zebra.com/us/en/support-downloads/printer-software/link-os-multiplatform-sdk.html

 

It appears tha the moment I can't easily post our code. We have switched to using PPLs and there are a few dependencies that would get pulled along since this code is part of a much larger framework. However, I do know that calling the SDK is pretty straight forward.

 I'll see if I could put together a smaller example.
