• 203 dpi (dots per inch) / 8 dots per millimeter resolution
• The image must be scaled and rotated to fit the area defined by the receipt
design.
By using common bitmap editing tools such as Photoshop®, Photo-Paint® or even
Windows® Paint; picture and logo graphics can be imported into your kiosk printer.
Several Zebra utilities and applications are available to help you import, convert and
modify your graphics for use with ZPL programming. Using ZebraDesigner to import
graphics is covered in "Prototype Receipt" on page 17 and includes a list of formats
supported by ZPL and ZebraDesigner when making prototype receipts. ZebraNet Bridge
v.2 or greater also offers a excellent graphic import features, but does not include a
dithering option supported by ZebraDesigner.
The original (un-converted) images being imported into the ZPL kiosk printer at minimum
should be as large (at the required print resolution of 203 dpi), as the printed image size in
the receipt design or concept. The original image size prior to conversion should be two
(2) to four (4) times larger to give the conversions algorithms finer control over image
quality.
Converting graphics from full color to greyscale and then to a black and white image
usable by the printers can be a challenge for you, the developer, to get acceptable or even
optimal image quality for use in the ZPL kiosk printer.
