How to get ZPL code from a ZebraDesigner label?


I'm using ZebraDesigner 2.2.2 (Build 2728).

Is there a way to extract the ZPL code from ZebraDesigner? I can't even export it to ZPL file, the only option I have is saving it as .lbl.

Solution

  • You can add a new ZebraDesigner ZPL driver to the system and use a file as the port. Then when you "Print" the document, it will write the ZPL code to the file.

    Note that it might have some header information before the first ^XA which you might not need.

    UPDATE : (How to add local port on a driver)

    1. Go to Printer Properties
    2. Click on the Ports tab
    3. Click Add Port
    4. Select Local Port and click New port
    5. Enter a filename e.g. C:\output.zpl
    6. Make sure it is checked in the ports list
    7. Now all printing output should go to C:\output.zpl
